Wake up to spring motifs
Add decadence to a dining table

Combined with rustic wood and vintage-style glass pendants lights, the effect is chic and stylish. Framed by white walls and leafy plants, it's the perfect botanical-inspired space for entertaining.
Take it two-tone
Can't settle on your favourite shade? No sweat. This two-tone green hallway offers a vibrant hit of colour when you step through the door. Contrast is key here – pale apple is the perfect counterpoint to this deep hunter green, while square panelling adds architectural interest for real wow-factor.
Evoke the Med with olive tones
A study by Oxford University and Valspar found that painting a room olive green made it feel at least two degrees warmer. And where better to create cosiness than the bedroom? Paint a feature wall in this sumptuous shade and continue the warmth with oak furniture. Pair with sleek black accessories to smarten up the look.
Add charm with whimsical wallpaper
If block colour isn't your thing, a nature-inspired wallpaper print can work wonders in your home. Delicate and romantic, this green and yellow botanical design is perfect for a whimsical country-style interior – simply pair with a bold accent shade like this royal blue and you'll have a beautifully balanced scheme that's bursting with charm.
Play with palm prints
Soothe with a sage kitchen
Create a jungle oasis
If you love a good dose of drama in your décor, why not turn the jungle trend up a notch with a tropical dark green bedroom scheme? Funky animal print bedding pops against a rich green backdrop, while a shelf of tropical plants completes this leafy oasis. Opt for lighter faux plants to lighten the load above the bed.
Get creative with colonial décor
If you're a fan of traditional décor but fancy mixing up your palette, why not turn up the colour wheel? Transform your bedroom into a vibrant island retreat with bold green and blue wallpaper, heavy palm prints and a colonial-inspired rattan frame bed. The finish is playful yet still charming and refined.
Go to town on tiling
Make it maximalist
Bring the great outdoors inside
Transform the look and feel of a lacklustre living room by using warming greens to draw the natural world indoors. Pick out a statement velvet green chair and pair with verdant cascading houseplants to intensify the tone and create your own organic oasis.
Create a dark and moody boudoir
Turn down the tone
Green doesn't have to be bold and brash to create a beautiful scheme. The sofa's muted shade of sage is calming and classic, while a slightly bright tone across the walls adds a refreshing lift to this living room. A parquet-style rug in the same hues ties the décor together, while touches of gold and marble add opulence.
Blur the boundaries
Elevate the conservatory
Take terrazzo to the next level
Terrazzo isn't leaving our homes anytime soon. For a bold focal point with an injection of colour, you can't go wrong with this stunning dining table in speckled emerald. Pair with earthy terracotta tableware to create a warming contrast that's sure to impress at dinner parties.
Play with paint effects
Shake up a block colour wall by adding a graphic paint effect in tonal shades of green. This hallway is anything but dull, with an angular piece of wall art encompassing the front door and entrance corridor. A crisp white background makes the green pop, while a darker shade runs along the bottom of the wall to help conceal scuff marks.
Take a leaf out of nature's lookbook
Cook up a storm in forest green
Dark and dramatic kitchen schemes are a strong colour trend right now and deep rich hues of green are a refreshing alternative to blues, greys and even black. Here, forest tones look refined and striking, teamed with grey worktops, splashbacks and industrial-style lighting.
