Pistachio to Matcha: The Green Leading Modern Interiors

By Emily Harnasz

Green is having a serious moment - and we’re not just talking about your daily matcha. From soft, creamy pistachios to zesty mint green colour palettes, these refreshing hues are showing up in kitchens, bedrooms, and everywhere in between.

Soft greens are known to promote calm, creativity and balance, they reflect nature which helps us feel grounded and refreshed. These hues can even boost focus and reduce stress, which is why they also work so well in home offices or reading corners. We told you, they really do work everywhere!

Much like the subtle buttery yellow trend, these soft greens are proving just how versatile, calming, and effortlessly stylish they can be. While they may seem like fleeting favourites, we believe these hues have timeless appeal. Whether you're embracing bold, colour-drenched interiors or simply looking to add a hint of freshness, this is one 'trend' that truly works in any space.

Meet our YesColours green paint colour offerings to bring this trend into your home ASAP:

Or keep it cool with Nostalgic Neutral and wood accents for a relaxed, modern aesthetic.

Nostalgic Green is a soft, pistachio-toned hue that brings a calming elegance to living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Ideal for colour drenching, it creates a soothing, cocoon-like atmosphere that invites comfort and relaxation.

Restful Green.

A serene, grounding mint green paint colour that instantly brings calm, Restful Green could be mistaken for an uplifting little cup of matcha (but please don’t drink it!). It's ideal colour drenched in bedrooms and quiet spaces, but don't be fooled, it also pairs well with Nostalgic Grey and Loving Pink for a fun and bold nod to the 70’s.
