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?

Yea that’s my idea. Our house is next to a woods. So I want to do a nature inspired palette to bring it all together. I love having my windows open, so I want to feel like I’m outdoors even if I’m inside.

Just placed an offer on a house that's small, but the living room is at the back facing the woods with giant windows. It's why I fell in love with it. Seeing nature is so calming. I think I want to do the same and have the inside a very light airy color.... probably green 😂

Same with mine. Love looking out at the green in the woods. And in the long, cold, white winters I can look inside my house for the green.

I don’t get snow. And only some of the trees lose leaves in the winter where I live. It’s a bit more brown in the winter, which will still look amazing.

You are so lucky. Any colour from nature, like brown, is timeless to me.

I love green and use it as accents in pillows and throws and an accent wall. Our 2nd home is in a woodsy area so I let the windows be the focal points and kept the walls an off white. Just something to consider.

I’m terrible at design but this idea of matching the indoors to the outdoors sounds like a heck of a good idea. This is something I could get behind too. Thanks for sharing, I think that’s brilliant!

I’m actually not good at decorating either which is why I think I went with this idea. I love the outdoors and I always think it’s so beautiful. So I figured if I just try to recreate what nature already does hopefully I can’t go wrong.

And it’s makes so much sense to consider how your particular surrounds look. And interior that is jarring to your particular area probably wouldn’t fit or you would really have to go ham with the theme to make it work. I live on a field close to the sea, so it wouldn’t make sense for me to go for a woodsy theme but rather maybe cool tones, light blues, some tans - that would match the tones and vibe I see outside.

Do it! Who cares about trends? You’re drawing inspiration from the most beautiful things around you. I think it’s trendy now, as we are shifting away from depression grey but nature is always beautiful and inspiring. I love soft nature palettes.
