17 Green, grand & gorgeous interiors

The authorities in decor and paints have spoken: Green is the colour of the year 2020, and it’s a strong acknowledgement from the design world that our new twenties are going to be all about finding our old roots back.

For this article, we begin with living rooms & spaces, then move on to kitchens. If you want to skip to the kitchens, click here.

Designers in Malta are already experimenting with green and doing a wonderful job at it, check out this artdeco and industrial style stunner in Sliema.

Our notes:

I. Living rooms & spaces

Yellows, mustards and metals are booming in popularity. Likewise, pinks and rich browns (mainly in the form of furniture) are becoming favourite picks amongst homeowners who want to be bold and make a statement.

1. Green and yellows create an autumnal atmosphere

2. A mix of metals & pink sofa tie things together

3. Green on green creates a sleek, clean setting

Of course, the emergence of green is wonderful news for homeowners with a green thumb. If you find delight in plotting pots and planters, 2020 is for you.

P.S: A green colour scheme creates the perfect atmosphere for older upcycled, restored or second-hand furniture. Take a look at Thomas Camilleri’s apartment, featured here, for upcycling inspiration.

4. Homeowners with a green thumb push what colours can do

5. Older furniture reclaims its place without creating a dated appearance

6. Aficionados of red have plenty of opportunity to experiment

7. Pastel greens surge amongst millennials and younger generations

8. Green balances out the austere aesthetic of contemporary furniture

II. Kitchens

Tranquil Dawn challenges the dominance of whites and neutrals in the kitchen
