Kitchen Trends: Pinterest's Autumn 2024 Trend Report - The Rise of Green Home Décor and Its Effects

Pinterest's Autumn 2024 trend report revealed searches for green home décor increased 2670% compared to last year. 

Green décor is associated with calm, notably through the link it has to nature and bringing the outdoors in. The psychological effects of green are endless, it is associated with reduced stress levels, boosting mood and increasing relaxation. In todays fast paced world, these benefits make green a tempting colour choice. 

If you are seeking an elegant and dramatic effect, dark green is the perfect choice. Shades like deep forest green or emerald green create a sophisticated environment and work well in larger rooms with ample natural light. These tones can provide a sense of luxury and depth. If going for a full dark green kitchen feels out of your comfort zone, this can also be paired with other colours in a dual tone of cabinetry. 

Alternatively to this, light green creates a bright, calming atmosphere. If you're hoping to make a space feel more open and airy, light green shades like mint, sage, or pastel green have the ability to reflect light, making a room feel larger. Light green is also a great way to introduce colour without being to bold and is very versatile in terms of other décor to pair with it.
