They say green brings luck 🍀—but in design, it brings so much more. Whether it’s rich and moody, fresh and vibrant, or soft and grounding, green is one of the most versatile and impactful colors you can incorporate into your home.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a touch of green to your space, here’s why you should take the plunge:

1. Green Creates Balance & Harmony

Green is the color of nature, and bringing it indoors has an instant calming effect. It symbolizes renewal, growth, and balance—making it an ideal choice for spaces where you want to feel at ease, like bedrooms, living rooms, and even home offices.

2. It’s Surprisingly Versatile

From deep emerald to soft sage, there’s a green for every aesthetic. A moody green accent wall can add drama, while light, muted greens can create an airy, refreshing feel. Green pairs beautifully with neutrals, warm woods, and even bold jewel tones, making it easy to incorporate into any design style.

3. It Brings the Outdoors In

Biophilic design—aka designing with nature in mind—is a huge trend (and for good reason). Studies show that exposure to natural elements improves mood, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being. Whether through paint, furniture, or (the easiest way!) houseplants, green naturally fosters a connection to the outdoors.

4. It Makes a Statement (Without Overpowering)

If you want to add color but don’t want to commit to something too bold, green is a great middle ground. Deep forest greens act as a neutral while still offering depth and personality. Meanwhile, brighter greens can inject energy into a space without feeling overwhelming.

5. It Works in Every Room

Green isn’t just for walls! I’ve used it in so many ways—sofas, kitchen cabinets, statement wallpapers, built-ins, decor, and, of course, houseplants. Whether it’s a single statement piece or a full-room transformation, green always finds a way to shine.
