Why Green Sofas and Armchairs Are the Must-Have Trend for Modern UK Homes

As interior design trends continue to shift towards nature-inspired aesthetics, green has emerged as one of the most sought-after colours for upholstered furniture in the UK. From olive corner sofas to sage armchairs, this versatile hue is breathing new life into living rooms across the country.

A Reflection of Nature
The growing popularity of green tones aligns with a broader move towards calm, grounding interiors. As people look to create sanctuaries at home, shades like forest green, eucalyptus, and moss offer a sense of tranquillity and connection to nature. Whether used on a plush velvet sofa or a modern linen blend, green works beautifully to soften a space without overwhelming it.

A Versatile Neutral (Yes, Really)
What makes green so compelling is its adaptability. Softer tones like sage and pistachio can act as a neutral base in minimalist schemes, while deeper greens such as bottle or hunter green add drama and richness. Green also pairs effortlessly with other trending materials like natural oak, rattan, and brushed brass - making it a favourite for both contemporary and classic interiors.

A Statement with Staying Power
Unlike passing fads, green is proving to have real longevity. It’s a colour that suits every season, and it evolves effortlessly with small changes in accessories or décor. A green corner sofa, for example, might be paired with warm rust and cream tones in winter, then refreshed with pale linens and light woods for spring and summer.

Best-Sellers on the Rise
At our Connah's Quay and Prestatyn stores, we've seen a noticeable uptick in demand for green across all furniture styles. Velvet green armchairs are becoming statement pieces in reading nooks, while olive or emerald sofas are increasingly chosen for main living areas. Corner sofas in subtle sage or lichen tones are especially popular with families who want comfort and style without compromising on practicality.

Final Thoughts
If you're considering updating your living space, green is a colour worth exploring. It's elegant yet approachable, bold yet serene - and most importantly, it offers a fresh take on timeless comfort. Whether you're after a modern, Scandi-inspired look or something more traditional, a green sofa or armchair might just be the perfect starting point.
