Create a Calming Space With These 7 Green Decor Items

This nature-inspired colour is proven to alleviate stress and anxiety.

There’s no denying the colour green can help promote a sense of rest, refreshment, peace and security. Why else do you think people are invited to wait in a “green room” before performances or many doctors paint their offices green to put their patients at ease?

Colour theorists identify green with renewal, nature and harmony, simply because it has strong associations with lush nature. So, what better way to implement these feelings into your life than by decorating your home with green elements? This doesn't mean every nook and cranny in your humble abode needs to be in this stress-free hue — it's all about subtly incorporating it into your interiors via carefully selected elements.

So, to help you out, we've rounded up the best green homewares you should invest in which are not only incredibly versatile and blend seamlessly well with a range of colours, but also have the power to inject a dose of tranquility into any room. Sayonara, stress and anxiety.

1. Linen bedsheets

Yes, of course this one was going to be at the top of our list — and for good reason, too. Try our 100% French flax linen bedding in our new Forest, soothing Pistachio, classic Olive Stripe, rich Olive, breezy Sage or refreshing Mint, all of which will pair seamlessly into any bedroom. Not only will these hues help lull you to sleep at night, but investing in high-quality linen sheets is probably one of the best investments you can make for your bedroom and your health. Plus, it’s one decor update that will pay for itself in the long run.

2. Chic tableware

Sometimes you want to enjoy a five-star meal with friends and family (or even by yourself) without having to actually leave your home. How do you do this? With a dining table styled with luxurious linens in calming green hues. Sitting down at the table with family, friends or roommates can be good for our emotional and mental health, and research has even found it can reduce depressive symptoms. Try our beautiful Olive tablecloth and Sage Napkins or add a playful twist with a scalloped set for the ultimate dining experience.

3. A cosy robe

Whether you're at the end of a long hard day, or just starting one, there’s nothing better than stepping out of a shower and wrapping yourself in a luxuriously soft robe. Our 100% French flax linen Cabana Short Robe can be worn as a cover up, a wrap dress, or robe to spend your office days, WFH routine or weekends in. With a linen belt and belt loops, you can wear it all tied up or loose and open, for whatever your mood is that day. Pair it with our Piazza Linen Pants for a complete set. Basically, you won’t want to take it off.

4. A luxurious quilt

Nothing injects a dose of serenity into a room quicker than a beautiful quilt in a rich, soothing colour. Whether it's covering your duvet, folded across the end of the bed or draped on the sofa like a throw, it will add a new dimension to any room. The comforting, timeless aspect of a quilt combined with a nature-inspired colour will amp up the cosiness. Refreshing light greens will open up a space, and deep, verdant hues provide a gentle warmth. Or, have the best of both worlds with the Sage & Olive or Sage & Pistachio Two-Tone Quilts.

5. Couch pillows

Pillows aren't only made for the bed. Style your living room couch with a selection of European pillows dressed in a range of soothing green hues like Olive, Pistachio, Forest, Sage and Mi nt. It's an easy way to give your entire space an update, without having to renovate or spend hundreds of dollars. As a general rule, stick to an odd number of pillows to create the most natural and inviting arrangement — try three for smaller sofas and five for larger ones.

6. A thick throw

Our Oatmeal & Olive Muslin Throw is one of the most versatile home decor items you’ll ever own. Draped over the bed it doubles as an extra layer of warmth, used in the living room to style your couch, or as a blanket for those days spent in from of the TV binge-watching the latest shows, it’s an accessory that can instantly elevate any room.

7. An indoor plant

Here at Bed Threads, we love an indoor plant (or ten). In fact, we believe a home isn’t complete without greenery. Why? Not only are plants aesthetically pleasing, but they can help foster a connection to the outdoors and brighten the mood. Studies have even shown plants are effective at absorbing and purifying toxins in the air. They’re decor, they’re wellness — they’re just a bit of everything, really.
