Deco 2025: 5 shades of green to try this year
Green confirms its place as one of 2025's leading interior colors. Versatile, timeless and easy to combine, it adapts to all interior styles. Certain shades stand out this year for their ability to structure space and enhance furniture. Here are five shades of green to keep in mind for a trendy, designer interior.
Sage green
A soft green, perfect for minimalist chic
Sage green is undoubtedly the star of trendy greens. Widely used in mural painting, it seduces with its subtle blend of gray and green. Ideal for those who want a touch of green but don't want to be too daring, it adds a discreet green touch.
How do you incorporate sage green into your home?
As a mural in a bedroom or living room. On designer base units (chests of drawers, sideboards). With washed linen bed linen or light curtains. Combine with blond wood and creamy white for a Nordic feel.
Olive green
Authentic, warm, deeply trendy
Olive green is back with a vengeance in the 2025 collections. Its slightly weathered appearance evokes southern interiors, warmth and vacations. It's a reassuring color, yet full of personality.
Where to use olive green in decorating?
As paint in an open kitchen, for a rustic-chic effect. On velvet sofa covers, very much in vogue this year. On designer armchairs or occasional stools. Small touches with olive-green artisan pottery.
Forest green
Forest green (or fir green) is intense, almost mysterious. It's the perfect shade for creating a subdued, slightly dramatic atmosphere, without ever becoming austere.
Decorating tips:
A total look on a wall, especially in a living room with mouldings or wood panelling. With a forest-green structured sofa, for a modernized English club feel. Combined with gilded brass, velvet and noble materials such as marble or walnut.
Almond green
The pastel color that's making a comeback
Almond green is one of this year's hottest pastels. It evokes the freshness, nostalgia and poetry of the 50s and 60s. It's a very interesting hue for softening a contemporary interior that's too cold.
How to use it on a daily basis?
In the bathroom, with tiles or wall paint. For retro chairs around a round table. On small pieces of lacquered furniture, vintage revisited. With powder pink, terracotta or grey beige for a very contemporary palette.
Khaki green
A modern alternative to greys and beiges
Khaki green is a real chameleon. Neither too dark nor too light, it acts as a neutral yet original base. It's perfect for urban and contemporary interiors, seeking warmth without overload.
Our ideas for integrating khaki:
In paint in an entrance hall or hallway, for a change from timeless white. With a khaki sofa or khaki mottled fabric headboard. In an office or workshop, for its stimulating but not aggressive side. Mix with black, metal or rough textures like waxed concrete.
