The Healing Power of Green Interiors

If neutral home décor isn’t your thing, don’t worry! Earth tones aren’t the only colors catching our attention for the upcoming year. Looking at 2022 colors of the year, nature-inspired greens and dusty blues will skyrocket in popularity as people yearn to bring a sense of peace into their homes. Winter blues got you down? Use the healing colors of nature to create a serene, restful home that will brighten up your day, no matter what's happening outside your window!

We love these soft green tones as the perfect alternatives to typical neutrals – great for adding calm to rooms might to feel too busy and chaotic. “Harmonious and healing, the health-giving message conveyed by sage greens are ideally suited to this time. They enhance our emotional well-being and boost our spiritual health.” says Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute.
