Embracing Green: How to Decorate with the Big Color of 2022
Herringbone 2 from Artaic’s QUAD Collection was featured in the Houston Chronicle. The article highlighted green as the color of 2022 in interior design and displayed green products to achieve the look.
“Green could be America‘s newest neutral.
Throughout the last part of 2021, paint and color companies have been naming their colors of the year for 2022. They include muted sage greens such as Sherwin Williams’ “Evergreen Fog,” Benjamin Moore’s “October Mist” and PPG’s “Olive Sprig” plus Behr‘s paler “Breezeway” and Glidden‘s zesty “Guacamole.” (Pantone went a different direction, creating a new color, “Very Peri” – a periwinkle with deep red–violet undertones.)
Color of the year choices often can vary from one company to another, but in recent years the trends have been fairly clear. In 2020, three companies chose a blue, for example.
Some years‘ top picks leave you scratching your head, wondering how you’d ever work bright yellow, tangerine or orchid pink into your home. These muted greens are a much easier sell.
Interior designers are embracing green as a color to paint kitchen cabinets or an island or to use in a powder bathroom. You can include it in throw pillows for a sofa or chairs, or as accents in a rug or wallpaper. And while house plants have always been an option, the coronavirus pandemic has prompted many to embrace the outdoors and bring some of it inside. “
