For the last couple of years, grey hues have dominated interior home décor trends. But now there’s a new hue on the block. Move along grey and say hello to green.

Incorporating green into your living space is a fantastic way to bring the outdoors in, especially as the evenings become colder and darker. Nature-inspired decors, especially the use of deep, dark greens, have become increasingly popular over the last year as homeowners opt for a cosier and more tranquil setting.

Going green

Green is as dynamic as it is refreshing; how you incorporate it is really up to you.

You could use green as the main feature in your room. Using one block colour as the main statement and giving your room a pop of personality is pretty popular at the moment. To compliment your eye-catching main colour, you could layer with accessories in different hues – perhaps curtains, lamp shade or a rug.

Staying green

Fallen in love with two shades but can’t decide which one to use? No problem. For a more modern approach, you could use a two-tone wall with contrasting green hues. Having a hard line between the shades will make your room feel bigger and also allow you to use both shades you like in an exciting way.

If, however, you prefer your walls to be more neutral, you could use green accents – cushions, chairs, blankets, plants even - to incorporate a burst of colour. This is less overwhelming on the eye, but remains effective in utilising layers in-line with current trends.
