Think more moss green and less kelly green

Green has been a popular color for home décor for years now, but in 2024, the trend has shifted. Instead of bold, bright shades, the vibe is more relaxed and sophisticated, with earthy tones like moss and forest green taking center stage.  

The good news is that these elegant green shades are usually easier to incorporate into your home décor than in-your-face shades like lime or emerald. You can add a few throw pillows to your bed or choose an area rug to anchor your dining room. You can even go big and transform your living room with a comfy statement sofa.

Whatever look you’re trying to achieve, these home décor items can help you embrace the sophisticated green trend.

Sophisticated green shades for home decor

  • Sage: This soft, muted shade makes a perfect neutral, so it works well as a wall or furniture color in a bedroom or living room. If your color palette includes darker shades, you can also use sage accents, like throw blankets, lampshades and vases, to add some contrast.  
  • Moss: A little deeper than sage, moss can make a bigger impression when used on the walls. It can work well in a bedroom, but it may make more of a statement in a larger space like the living room.  
  • Olive: If you want a little drama in a room but don’t want to go too dark, consider olive for the walls of your dining room or living room. You can also use olive accents in a white or cream-colored room as a pop of sophisticated color.
  • Forest green: Probably the most dramatic of these earthy, elegant green shades, forest green is an ideal color for an accent wall or entryway. You can also use it for larger furniture items like a sofa or all over the walls in a large room for a cozy feeling.
