LUSCIOUS GREENS

Green is set to replace grey in the interior world in 2022 with shades popping up right across the house . With its synonymous connection to nature and calming qualities , it ’ s really no surprise that there has been a rise in its popularity . As humans , we continue to crave colours that give us a grounding connection to the great outdoors , and green does exactly that however and wherever it ’ s used . From deep emeralds that create a luscious forestry landscape to chalky sages and uplifting shades of olive perfect for home offices or tranquil corners – green has also been proven to aid contemplation and concentration . Lighter shades feel sophisticated and reassuring , while also creating the perfect foundations for other colours and textures to flourish . Introducing soft tones that complement like chalky grey furniture or exposed woodwork will give a timeless , yet modern feel .

If you ’ re looking for evidence that greens are the way forward this year , look no further than Benjamin Moore ’ s October Mist . “ A celebration of our relationships with our home environments and how we have adapted to express individuality within our personal space .”

“ Greens are often relatively neutral . They are neither too warm nor too cool – this makes them very versatile , they can be used in lots of different spaces regardless of the tone of light .”
