WHY GREEN IS THE COLOR WE CRAVE
Across interiors, one color is quietly transforming the way we experience a space: GREEN. Designers are gravitating toward its calming hues—sage, olive, moss, and fern—not just for beauty, but for what green symbolizes in our modern world: a return to nature, a sense of wellness, and a growing desire for sanctuary.
A BIOPHILIC RESPONSE
Our collective craving for green is rooted in something more profound than trend — it’s biophilia: the innate human need to connect with nature. As our lives become increasingly digital and fast-paced, interiors that incorporate natural materials, textures, and colors help us restore balance. Green, in all its variations, offers a visual connection to the landscapes we long for—meadows, forests, gardens—and introduces that restorative presence indoors.
THE WELLNESS COLOR
More than any other hue, green promotes a sense of well-being. It’s known to reduce stress, slow the heart rate, and quiet the mind. This makes green particularly suited for those spaces where we seek renewal, such as bedrooms, meditation rooms, home spas, and quiet corners.
At Hartmann&Forbes, where our materials begin in nature and are crafted with intention, green plays a pivotal role in creating spaces that support physical, emotional, and environmental wellness.
A VERSATILE NATURAL NEUTRAL
Green is remarkably adaptable. Its presence can transform a space with quiet sophistication. In layered tones, it deepens the richness of woven textures, drawing out the artistry in every detail. When paired with soft neutrals, it introduces warmth and dimension, creating a grounded, calming atmosphere. Beside natural woods and botanical fibers, green feels especially organic, evoking the vitality and rhythm of the natural world.
A COLOR THAT REFLECTS OUR VALUES
Green isn’t just a color — it’s a statement of care, craft, and living in rhythm with the environment. As sustainability and wellness become inseparable from design, green reflects a conscious way of living — one that honors materials, makers, and the earth itself.
Explore Hartmann&Forbes designs that celebrate this essential hue—from soft botanical tones to rich, earthen greens. Each piece is an invitation to reconnect with nature, with craft, with self.
