The Green Edit - our top green sofas
Green and pleasant
Fresh and optimistic, green continues to have a moment in interior design. Incredibly versatile, it remains a go-to colour for the interior designers amongst us - a timeless hue offering an array of shades that can brighten a home or add elegance and calm. Endless colour pairings mean there isn’t a home that this shade cannot slot into. Known as one of the most calming colours - nature’s neutral - by bringing the outdoors in through decorating with green, you can easily create spaces that feel tranquil and soothing. Equally, homes can be given a sense of drama, depth or vibrancy depending on the shade you choose, making green a very liveable choice of shade in the home.
With that in mind, here's a rundown of our top green sofas for the living room and style tips to make it work in your home.
A sage decision
Sage green is a particularly popular choice, providing a soft, restful colour that can be built upon. Combined with neutral furniture, soft rugs and simple accessories, with this shade, you can create a modern minimalist look or introduce metallics and intricate details, such as fluting, for an opulent feel.
Muted enough to be considered neutral, choosing a living room green sofa in the gentle tones of sage green will help to create a cool calming space. Reflecting the hues of the natural world, this is a colour that can work well when it’s drenched in a room and accentuated with greenery.
Zesty Greens
Along with bursts of lime and orange citrus shades that have made a splash in 2024, a zesty green sofa for a living room helps to remind us of sunnier times and welcomes the restorative power of travel into our homes.
Strong restorative shades will revitalise our homes, with concise colour palettes playing a central part in establishing a feeling of calm. Injections of colour will find ways into both contemporary and traditional schemes with bolder shades of furniture. Mix modern seating with reclaimed, vintage pieces to add character to a bold and beautiful burst of colour in your space.
Moss green/forest green
Forest and moss green are both restorative and peaceful, great for living areas where families relax and look to reconnect.
One of Pinterest’s top colours of 2024, Moss Green is an ideal earthy shade for that ‘home as a sanctuary vibe’ many of us are looking to create.
Forest green in darker tones can add a sense of drama and bring sophistication to spaces. However, when looking for dark green sofa living room ideas, you can avoid large pieces in dark green feeling tired and sluggish by combining them with beautiful wood and brass accents, as well as lighter shades of green.
Opt for cushions and throws that align with nature’s palette, such as oranges, yellows and reds, to really make the scheme sing.
