Green dream

As our homes became our world in 2020, we began bringing nature in. Sales of house plants soared as we got our green thumbs on. Now, says Tara, that element of nature is following through in our bedrooms with varying shades of green popping up in soft

furnishings, linens, accessories and furniture. “Bottle greens and khakis may not be warm in themselves,” she explains, “but they tie into a warm scheme when you pare them back with ochre, terracotta and off-white. It’s a very natural colour base and they work together beautifully.” If you want to start with small green touches, you can up your number of house plants – otherwise, Tara advises, “you can mix up your bed linen” by adding shades of green in your sheets, throws or cushions. “If you really love the palette, realistically you can introduce all of those items so long as you calculate how much you are using so that it remains about balance.”
