With summer bringing longer days and lively gardens, green offers a practical way to bring natural freshness into your home interiors. This season, let’s explore our expert guide to using green to refresh your home for the sunny months ahead.
Why Green Works in Interiors
Green evokes nature’s calm, making it a top choice for summer living in bustling London. This 2025 trend taps into biophilic design, boosting wellbeing with its restful tones—ideal for sunlit living rooms or shaded retreats. It complements both historic mouldings and sleek lines, adding depth that feels timely in the warmer months.
Choosing the Right Green Shade
Select a green to match your summer vibe. A rich forest green suits a cosy dining nook for al fresco-inspired dinners, while light sage green creates a breezy bedroom escape. Our team advises testing shades under natural light, which peaks in summer, to ensure they harmonise with your home’s architecture.
Pairing Green with Natural Materials
Enhance green with wood panelling, stone, or rattan—materials we often use at Zulufish. A marble side table or oak floor grounds the colour, echoing summer’s natural textures. This combo not only elevates the look but also aligns with sustainable design, perfect for a season of eco-conscious living.
Zoning with Green Statement Pieces
Use green to define spaces in open layouts. A plush green armchair or patterned rug can zone a summer lounge area, especially near windows to catch the light. This technique, refined in projects like Kensington Townhouse, creates a focal point that enhances architectural flow.
Incorporating Green Textiles for Summer Comfort
Summer calls for lightweight fabrics. Add green linen curtains or cotton cushions to soften rooms, keeping them cool and inviting. We recommend layering with throws for versatility, ensuring comfort as temperatures rise.
Accessorising with Green Plants
Bring the garden inside with green plants. A potted fern or bonsai near your green decor adds life and ties into summer’s outdoor theme. Place them strategically to boost air quality and aesthetics.
Tips from Our Designers
