Colour Trend - Cottage Green

Rustic and rural colour schemes are a great choice for added warmth and cosiness to your home interior. Natural and period tones like COTTAGE GREEN will add colour and richness to the main feature wall, soft furnishings and accessories and will create a sense of botanical elegance in your chosen room. This colour can be teamed with both modern and classic decors to create a stylish interior finish.

Cottage green looks great teamed with cosy cream and beige hues to create a classic rural interior that is sophisticated and classic. For a more stately and period-inspired look then pair cottage green with antique white and deep charcoal grey to create a grand and glamorous feel in any room of the home. If you prefer a splash of colour in your home then you can partner cottage green with dusky pastel hues such as mint, lemon and mauve or retro hues such as mustard, orange or lime for a more bright and cheerful design. Historic floral wallpapers will create a striking feature on a large feature wall or opt for simple stripes or tartan for a countrified interior feel. For a more authentic period style feel then why not add some cottage green panelling to the lower section of your walls with a complimentary painted upper wall that will create visual detail and texture within the room.

Soft furnishings are a great way of including colour in your chosen interior space. A set of cottage green tartan curtains and matching cushions will create a rich and cosy feel in any living room or bedroom interior and can be paired with cream or grey faux fur and knitted cushions and throws for a rustic interior finish. For a more elegant and feminine finish, select some cottage green and pastel floral curtains and cushions and pair with a large floral rug that will add colour and pattern to a neutral interior area. If you are looking to update your upholstery then create an air of opulence and glamour with a cottage green velvet armchair or headboard that will transform the look and feel of your room.

For a rustic and traditional interior look then some chunky oak furniture will create a farmhouse-inspired look that is perfect for this rural-inspired colour scheme. For a more sophisticated feel then opt for a more regal French style of oak furniture that will compliment the period feel of the coloured backdrop. Grey and cream painted furniture will create a perfect marriage of modern and traditional interior design and can be used to create a light yet cosy feel in smaller rooms of the home. If you wish to give a modern twist to this more traditional choice of colour then why not add some mirrored furniture to your interior space. Statement items such as a TV cabinet, dressing table or wardrobe will create a striking focal point against the deep green interior colour scheme.
