Three Homes Embrace Earthy Green Interiors

Green is trending as an interior color, according to Houzz's Emerging Summer Trends report, which highlights warm earthy tones like olive and sage. Designer Rachel Sherman renovated a 1973 Colonial home in Greenwich, Connecticut, featuring a dining room with a hand-painted mural by Mehmet Iksel and Dimonah Iksel based on 17th-century Japanese folding screens. The room's rug, drapes, and fabrics pull colors from the mural. The adjacent office was painted Farrow & Ball's 'Lichen' to create an indoor-outdoor feel. In Larchmont, New York, Sherman used Farrow & Ball's 'Green Smoke' on a kitchen island to ground a white kitchen, complementing a pink banquette. Melinda Kelson O'Connor renovated a 1904 Rumson, New Jersey, home, using deep greens like Farrow & Ball's 'Studio Green' on an office bookcase. The kitchen features a green banquette connecting to the garden. The renovation referenced 1900s aesthetics with oak arches and brass details.
