In the ever-evolving world of home decor, trends come and go. While pistachio green once captivated with its soft, pastel charm, Joanna Gaines is championing a deeper, richer shade for fall and winter: forest green.
The majesty of ancient forests has long inspired interior design and color trends. From the grandeur of towering oak trees to the intricate curves of acanthus leaves, rich, velvety greens bring a nurturing connection to nature into the home. Decorating with dark green offers a sophisticated, enduring alternative to lighter, fleeting shades such as pistachio.
The Forest Green Cottage Collection, available at Magnolia, celebrates these earthy tones, bringing timeless elegance and warmth to any space. ‘Taking things back to our primitive roots, green forest equals food, which equals survival,’ explains Karen Haller, global authority on behavioural color and design psychology and author of The Little Book of Color. It is no wonder we are instinctively drawn to this shade: deep forest green simply feels right.
This carefully curated collection of kitchen essentials blends vintage charm with modern functionality. Each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from ribbed textures and speckled glazes to cosy green hues that evoke the calm of a forest retreat. From scalloped pie dishes to striped mixing bowls, every item is designed to elevate everyday moments while inspiring nostalgia and comfort.
Opting for forest green over lighter tones such as pistachio brings a grounded, sophisticated touch to the home. Its deeper shades create a cohesive, collected look, making it effortless to mix and match with other colours and materials across the kitchen and dining areas. Whether it is the Forest Green Scalloped Pie Dish or my personal favorite, the Forest Green Canister, each piece adds depth, warmth, and character to your décor.
By embracing this earthy green for your fall table decor and beyond, you are choosing a color that transcends trends. Forest green not only endures, but cultivates a sense of calm and connection to nature – a reminder that decorating with intention creates a home that truly lasts.
