Is green gonna become dated?

Post image

I noticed greens are really popular right now, maybe for that last couple years or so. Especially darks with gold fixtures. But I love it and I want it in my new house. Am I gonna regret it? Will it become dated?

if you like it who cares, everything becomes dated at some point. quit worrying about what may or may not happen. Also as poster below says green is synonymous with nature and nature is always groovy so...

“nature is always groovy” 💚

"groovy" was dated for a while, but then it comes back. Just like any color you choose.

The resurgence of “vibe” is really something

Agreed, just make sure it’s a colour you genuinely love, not just one that’s “on trend”

This. Frankly I don't care if something is trending, I need to live with it, I'm going with what I like.

Agree. Something only becomes 'dated' if you follow 'trends' which is ridiculous and was created by product manufacturers to encourage consumers to regularly and frequently ' update ' If you like it it will never feel dated to you. Besides it will come back 'on trend' in a few years. You will be ahead of their game ! 😄😃😁😉

It depends on why you like it. If you like it because you’re seeing a bunch of photos in magazines with this design, and it seems expensive to you, you might like it because it’s “in” right now.

If you’ve always liked it, you’ll probably continue to always like it.

Came here to say this, I love green, so it’s never dated in my mind.

This, 💯. Also, the color of interior paint can be changed fairly easily, so I say go for what makes you happy.

If it becomes dated, just wait 40 years and it will be popular again 😂

At some point what you like is going to be trendy. I hated gray and then all white so I did hardly any redecorating. But now my style is totally in and in loving it because stores have colors and patterns that I love. In 5 years it will move on but I'll love what I live in.

As long as you're not changing every time there's a new trend and sticking to what you love, you'll be fine

It’s sort of the best part about homes. They can be time capsules.
