Trend color - emerald green

Colour palettes inspired by nature are the key to interior design trends in 2022. One of the most popular shades this year is emerald green, because green can evoke strong emotions and, due to its connection with nature, awakens feelings of renewal, freshness, vitality and harmony in you.

Colour green: Natural and harmonious

Deep emerald green and quartz green are currently in vogue, but other shades are also coming into play, including earthy, herbal nuances like sage, but also various shades of green and blue that are reminiscent of the sea. While most greens are naturally calming, emerald green in particular has a strong grounding effect. It's also multi-faceted, so you can pair it with almost any accent or neutral colour.

    Set accents

    Bring this trend colour into your home and boldly accentuate your existing furniture with different shades of green at the same time - in the form of textured textiles, soft rugs and cushions. Decorate with large houseplants and easy-to-care-for succulents that contrast beautifully with terracotta tones and natural fibres, such as wicker chairs and linen fabrics.

        Timelessly beautiful

        Green is a fantastic colour and offers you a sanctuary at home when the stress of your everyday life has caught up with you. As a relaxing colour from nature, it revitalises the mind and body, promotes optimism, hope and balance and restores our well-being. So let's go: let the shimmer of green work its magic in your rooms!
