What do you think of moody green interiors? Are you in favor or not?

I often browse through photos I’ve saved on Instagram (anyone else forget what they saved?) and lately the same color keeps reappearing in my feed.

Have you noticed moody green showing up everywhere recently?

What do you think of this green trend in interiors — are you for it or against it?

To be honest, I’m a bit surprised at how much this color appeals to me. I don’t usually favor very dark rooms, but the drama moody green brings is compelling.

It reads as sophisticated and cool, and in some settings it almost functions like a neutral — which is fascinating.

Are you for or against moody green interiors?

Before you decide, take a look through these twelve interiors that use deep green tones to create calm, elegant spaces. Then decide where you stand. First up…

1. The range of green tones paired with light wood makes this kitchen by Plain English feel dreamy. That herringbone floor adds so much character.
