Blues and greys have been the default colours in interiors for some time, but if you\u2019ve had a quick scroll through Instagram or a flick through an interiors magazine recently, you\u2019ll have seen green is everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it\u2019s a response to the pandemic and an attempt to bring the feeling of outdoors inside our homes. Green can have a calming, stress-easing effect too. Here are some ideas for how to introduce this much loved colour into your interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think of grey-greens as neutrals, because they\u2019re a very forgiving base and green walls can look effortlessly chic. Graham and Brown\u2019s Accrington Road, seen here, is a playful and modern sage green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, Farrow & Ball\u2019s fresh aqua, Teresa\u2019s Green, creates a beautifully calm feel in this dining room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team soft greens with off whites, deeper tonal greens or hot reds for a contemporary vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Green tiles like these Otura tiles from Bert & May, with their understated geometric pattern, suit all ages of property. Mix and match with plain tiles if you want to dial the green down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wallpaper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wallpaper is a wonderful way to introduce botanical designs in shades of green into your home. Use wallpaper in a big room to add drama or in a small space to create a feature wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Green kitchens are having a moment.  Green creates a sophisticated yet subtle effect, injecting colour into the kitchen without it being overbearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sofa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A green sofa like this Izzy Sofa in olive green matt velvet by Sofa.com will make a real statement and it also offers a brilliant canvas for layering. Try retro cushions in 70s-inspired fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
