Our interior designer contributor Jessica Harris says it’s all about nature. “I’m noticing dark forest green, in particular. It’s a popular shade for 2024, in line with biophilic themes. Anything that resonates greenery, life, health-conscious living, that’s what people are using to decorate their spaces.”

“It makes sense that the second most popular color for living rooms is blue. Blue and green are both vital shades of nature. More and more people are awakening to the fact that these colors can brighten mood in a space, too.”
Bringing the Dark Green Sofa Living Room Trend Into Your Space
To effectively highlight green’s sense of nature, you’ll want to pair it with calm neutrals. Here are a few ways Jessica likes to style dark green sofas for the living room — with some easy design tips for color coordinating.
Dark Green Sofa + Gold Table
This is an elegant combination, maybe too elegant. To keep it more casual, the designer says she “loves the fun bird wallpaper, which also hearkens back to nature and the dark green motifs.”
Dark Green Sofa + Yellow Pillow
“This totally lightens and brightens, and makes the perfect pop of contrast in a larger living space.”
Forest Green Sofa With Wood Furniture
Wood coffee table and wood end table create a bookended woodsy look. It’s the obvious choice for those who want to focus on biophilic concepts. Jessica elaborates on the natural aesthetic that wood brings: “it’s calming and grounding.”
