Design Guide | Late Summer Greens
Fresh ways to embrace green in your home — all year round
While the title nods to late summer, the beauty of green is that it feels timeless across every season. As we head into the warmer months, vibrant greens and nature-inspired tones bring a refreshing energy to interiors—echoing the garden in bloom and the longer days ahead.
Whether you’re updating a sitting room or softening a hallway, green is a joyful, grounding choice that adds colour without overpowering a space.
Fabric and Wallpaper Moodboard - Imogen Heath
Green is a wonderful colour to decorate with, as it forges a deeper connection to nature within our homes and boosts wellbeing. For an especially restorative scheme, take a leaf out of the natural world’s book by pairing green with blue. From light meadowy hues with fresh sky shades, to deeper moss greens with rich marine tones; there are so many pleasing combinations to explore.
The Power of Green in Interior Design
Green is a versatile colour that brings the outdoors in, fostering a connection to nature and promoting a sense of calm and wellbeing. Whether it’s the soft hue of meadow grass or the deep, saturated shade of forest foliage, green has a unique ability to transform a room into a sanctuary — grounding, uplifting, and gently energising all at once.
Psychologically, green sits at the centre of the colour spectrum, making it naturally balanced and easy on the eye. It evokes growth, renewal, and restfulness — making it ideal for spaces where you want to relax and recharge. In a living room, it can soften and soothe; in a hallway, it can create a welcoming sense of flow. Even in smaller rooms, green can feel expansive, echoing the freshness and clarity of the natural world.
Beyond its emotional qualities, green is also remarkably adaptable. It can act as a neutral when muted, a statement when bold, or a connector when layered across different tones and textures. Whether paired with crisp whites, warm woods, or rich jewel tones, it brings a sense of harmony and elegance to any interior scheme.
Pairing Green with Complementary Colours
Green sits beautifully alongside a range of tones, making it a versatile anchor for your interior palette. Soft blues offer a fresh, airy feel when paired with lighter greens, creating a scheme that feels open and effortless. For something deeper and more grounded, consider layering green with marine tones like navy or teal — these richer shades add depth and elegance without feeling overpowering. And if you're looking to introduce a sense of warmth, earthy colours such as terracotta or soft heather provide a natural balance that feels both rooted and inviting.
Bringing Green Into the Home
There are many ways to weave green into a space, from bold gestures to subtle accents. Upholstered furniture, curtains, or a collection of cushions in green can instantly shift the mood of a room, bringing in a sense of calm or vitality depending on the shade. A feature wall using patterned green wallpaper adds both depth and focus, especially when used in transitional spaces like hallways or landings. And finally, green doesn’t always need to come through fabric or paper — sometimes a painted piece of joinery, a favourite vase, or even a scattering of houseplants is enough to connect a space to the outdoors.
