Bring the outdoors in with moss greens

One of the first plants on earth, moss is one of nature’s most versatile colours. From soft pastel to neon shades, moss green is a reassuring, relaxing colour that keeps us tied to the natural world. A true heritage colour, verdant moss colours work wonderfully in period properties but can also bring a raw, earthy feel to contemporary spaces.

For old-world drama pair rich forest green with natural timber or oak, while light shades of moss green look bright when matched with darker accessories, such as soft furnishings in shades of ivy or olive. For energetic contrast, try highlighting a green colour layout with touches of soft apricot and pumpkin or juicy raspberry.
