Look out, harvest hues – shades of green are growing in popularity this fall, according to Pinterest.
When you think of the palette of fall, shades like orange, crimson, burgundy and brown likely come to mind. But what about green?
The Pinterest Fall 2024 Trend Report points to a recent spike in interest for green home styling – inside and out. For example, the report reveals a staggering 2,670% increase in searches for “green home décor” since last year.
If you fancy forest-like tones, there are several ways to “spruce” up your space with this trending, nature-inspired color.
Here are four ideas to go green at home this fall:
1. Make a statement with curb appeal
Let’s talk exceptional exteriors. The same Pinterest report shows a 220% increase in searches for forest green houses, pointing to a growing interest for the color outdoors.
If you’re looking to update your home’s exterior, consider green in light or dark variations. Hues like emerald, olive and fern complements natural materials (think: wood and stone), which can improve curb appeal and help your home stand out. Try different paint samples to find the shade that fits your style best.
Or, accessorize your home’s outdoor appearance with smaller splashes of green in places like like the front door, window casing or shutters.
2. Create a spa-like bathroom
An emerging neutral color, green promotes a sense of calm and balance. Turn your bathroom into a tranquil retreat with the help of soothing green tones. Add lush plants to bring nature indoors or select a new hue to refresh the wall color.
The report from Pinterest noted a remarkable 350% increase in searches for dark green bathrooms, making the color an excellent choice for adding depth and sophistication to smaller spaces. Enhance the spa-like atmosphere with soft textiles, elegant lighting and aromatherapy, converting your bathroom into a space where you can relax and refresh.
3. Go green in the kitchen
The National Kitchen & Bath Association named green the top color choice for kitchens in 2024. This earthy hue, particularly in muted shades like sage, is neutral enough to cover your kitchen, yet bold enough to take the space from plain to personalized.
Incorporate green into your cabinetry, or opt for a green backsplash that pairs well with white or wood cabinets. Some may even consider turning tiling it into a DIY project.
4. Accessorize with color
You can easily embrace this season’s popular palette without a paintbrush.
Houseplants, throw pillows, blankets, duvet covers, candles, dish wear, flower vases, lamps and area rugs are just a few ideas. One of the best aspects of green is its versatility – it pairs beautifully with all shades of wood and metal, allowing you the freedom to interpret this trend in a way that perfectly suits your style.
