9 ways to weave gorgeous green homewares into seasonal makeovers
Especially with the switch in season: 'Spring is the perfect time to embrace green in the home,' says Alex Bridgman, CEO of Bridgman furniture.
'Mixing shades – from deep forest to soft sage – adds depth and warmth while evoking a sense of renewal – richer tones bring sophistication, while lighter greens feel fresh and uplifting.'
Whether through dining chairs or an inviting armchair, Bridgman says these natural hues create a calming yet vibrant space.
Perfectly placed with the trend for biophilic design, as Emma Bestley, creative director and co-founder, YesColours, puts it: ' Greens have long been associated with a sense of calm, grounding us in the natural world.
'But in spring, green takes on an even deeper meaning – symbolising renewal, growth, and fresh energy. It's a colour that feels both rejuvenating and uplifting.'
Soft, delicate shades like sage and mint bring a serene, restful feel, suggests Bestley, perfect for creating a peaceful retreat. 'Meanwhile, brighter spring greens and zesty tones add a refreshing vibrancy, injecting optimism and vitality into a space.'
Beyond its wellness benefits, green is a wonderfully versatile colour that pairs effortlessly with a range of hues, highlights Bestley.

Draya Michele, 40, packs on the PDA with much-younger NBA boyfriend Jalen Green, 23, on courtside date night
Draya Michele and her NBA boyfriend Jalen Green enjoyed a date night on Tuesday as they attended a WNBA game together. Michele, 40, and the much-younger Green, 23, have been linked since 2023 and share a child together. And the parents had some fun on Tuesday as they sat courtside for the LA Sparks' matchup with the Indiana Fever. The couple could be seen holding hands as they walked around Arena during the Sparks' eventual win. The hosts beat a Caitlin Clark-less Fever squad 100-91, with 25 points apiece from Rickea Jackson and Kelsey Plum. While Michele and Green looked to be in good spirits during their date night, the influencer has previously spoken of the ill-effects of social media trolls criticizing their age gap relationship. 'I mean, you try to get to that point (where you don't give a f***), but I mean you're still human and you still have feelings,' she told the New York Post. 'Sometimes, you know you can read things that are hurtful and you want to just let it roll off, but it doesn't always work like that. 'It also depends on what type of day you're already having when you read the message… I take it because it comes with it, with the limelight, like I said. But I'm human and I have feelings.' Green and Michele recently experienced a major life change as a couple, as the guard was traded to the Phoenix Suns from the Houston Rockets, as part of a deal that sent Kevin Durant to Texas. 'This was my first time experiencing a trade,' Michele said. 'I just think, you know, as his girlfriend, my main responsibility is to support him wherever we were going. She said they haven't found a home in Phoenix yet, but added: 'Phoenix is an amazing city. We were not disappointed with Phoenix at all. Green was recently traded to the Phoenix Suns as part of a deal for Kevin Durant 'But I just need to be supportive of him and of the change and then just try to make things as smooth of a transition [as possible] for him, and not stressing him out with the worries of moving and all that. 'He's not gonna have to lift the finger. I'll handle all of that so that he can just relax and play basketball. Once he gets there, he won't have anything else to worry about. And that's just really what I try to focus on: keeping things convenient and easy for him.' Green played in all 82 games for the Rockets last season and averaged 21 points per game as the team went 52-30 and secured the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. But he struggled in the playoffs as Houston lost the the Warriors in a seven-game, first-round series, as he shot just 37.2 percent from the field and scored a little over 13 points on average. In Phoenix, Green will team up with Suns star Devin Booker, newly-acquired big man Mark Williams and rookie center Khaman Maluach.

Wondering What The Lionesses Wore This Weekend? You Can Shop Their Exact Looks Now
@Getty Images/RICHARD POHLE M&S, Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Soft Green M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Black Nobody's Child, Cream Double Breasted Cropped Waistcoat ASOS Design, Linen Look Asymmetric Button Front Waistcoat Zara, ZW Collection Asymmetric Waistcoat Mint Velvet, Taupe Short Sleeve Longline Blazer Zara, ZW Collection Straight-Leg Trousers Few things bring the nation together like our national football team winning a major trophy. It's a tale as old as time: a country collectively losing its voice, nerves and any sense of decorum over a football game. Of course, there are also hundreds of stereotypes that unite us, like our love of tea, fish and chips and the pure joy we feel when another bank holiday is announced. But nothing feels as exciting as seeing our Lionesses win the UEFA European Women's Championship, for the second time, might I add. After a 1-1 draw at full time, the match went to penalties, where Chloe Kelly, scored the winning goal. While the rest of us were dressed head-to-toe in football kits with flags in hand, the Lionesses returned home on Monday wearing pieces from their own collaboration with another British legend, Marks & Spencer. The limited-edition collection, made up of 13 pieces, launched ahead of the tournament on 26th June, and is the final drop from the three-year partnership between the English FA and M&S - though the brand's relationship with the sport stretches all the way back to 2007. And, much like the Lionesses' performance this summer, the M&S X England collection doesn't disappoint. ©Getty Images/Dan Kitwood The best part of the collection? You don't have to win a major trophy or even be on the field to wear it. In fact, the collection is packed full of tailored co-ords and structured separates, a world away from muddy socks and battered shinpads. Maddy Evans, Director of M&S Women, describes it as: 'championing style and versatility and underpinned by new modern shapes, it's a collection for an incredible team of women, who are role models to the nation.' A couple of standouts from the collaboration include its Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers, and its Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer that's perfect for those office days where it's far too hot to wear a full-sleeved blazer. It will probably come as no surprise that the collection has been met with quite the reaction - much of it is already out of stock online and in stores. But, there are a couple of pieces still available, if (and that's a big if), you move fast. ©Instagram/@irma_bruzaite M&S, Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer If you're on the hunt for a blazer you can wear in the warmer months, M&S has the answer. Cut in a flattering fit, the blazer has smart notched lapels, as well as handy welt pockets. Style with a pair of tailored trousers or boxy shorts. If you're currently wondering what to wear to celebrate the Lionesses' win, the answer may not lie in your vintage England shirt and bucket hat, but in a crisp pair of pleated Bermuda shorts and a waistcoat top. Shop the pieces that are still available, as well as excellent alternatives below. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers If you're as obsessed with barrel leg jeans as I am, you're going to want to take a look at M&S' Barrel Leg Trousers. Available in two different colours, an ecru and soft green, the trousers feature pleats down the front as well as pockets and belt loops. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Soft Green If the barrel leg shape isn't your style, and you prefer something a little more timeless, the trousers also come in a wide-leg. Finished with the same soft pleats at the front, pair with a boxy t-shirt and loafers. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Black The same wide-leg style is also available in a black, which will go with everything you already have in your wardrobe. Nobody's Child, Cream Double Breasted Cropped Waistcoat Nobody's Child has a great alternative if you want the Lioness look. Its Cropped Waistcoat features a V-neck crossover and double-breasted buttons to bring polish to any outfit, even if you're just wearing jeans. ASOS Design, Linen Look Asymmetric Button Front Waistcoat ASOS also has an asymmetric alternative, this time in a linen-look material that's sure to keep you cool this summer. Finish the outfit with a satin midi skirt and a pair of colourful ballet flats. Zara, ZW Collection Asymmetric Waistcoat Zara is truly in its tailoring era at the moment, as there are so many excellent work outfits on site right now. This asymmetric waistcoat is almost identical to the M&S one spotted on the Lionesses, complete with the same buttoned detailing and dark colour. Mint Velvet, Taupe Short Sleeve Longline Blazer If you, too, want to get in on the short-sleeved blazer hype, I've found another popular style from Mint Velvet. Its peaked lapels, flap pockets and statement button at the front all make it the perfect blazer to wear on office days. Reformation, Wren Blazer Reformation has also designed a short-sleeved blazer, and its style is created with an intentionally slim-fit, yet is also somewhat oversized (so take this as your sign to size down if you like your blazers more fitted). Zara, ZW Collection Straight-Leg Trousers Zara's Straight-Leg Trousers have a high waist that's perfect for pairing with the matching asymmetric waistcoat top and front pockets. Wear as a co-ord, or style the trousers with a boxy tee, leather jacket and Adidas trainers. Gemma Lavers is a fashion commerce writer at Grazia, where she tracks down viral pieces and is as comfortable navigating the M&S new-in page as she is dissecting the latest celebrity look. When not writing, shopping or at Reformer Pilates (a cliché but she's hooked), Gemma will likely be planning her next holiday (and what she's going to wear). For a glimpse into said travels, outfit inspo and life as a journalist, follow her on Instagram or TikTok.
