Flowing across women's saris, vibrant on spice merchants' stalls, echoing from houses, or bursting on trucks traveling the roads: green is an integral part of Indian culture. A symbol of life, hope, and growth, at Jamini we love it for its range of shades that bring a refreshing and soothing atmosphere to your home.

A brief history of this zen color and our top interior design tips to incorporate it into your decor.

A Mystical Color

The Egyptians were the first to reproduce green using a mineral pigment: malachite. Sometimes associated with negative meanings like poison, greed, or envy, it now symbolizes nature, hope, and luck. It’s even considered a stress reliever with a positive effect on our brain, and it finds its place in every room of the home, bringing a sense of balance!

What Colors Go with Green?

Olive green, turquoise green, forest green—there are as many shades of green as there are ways to match them in your decor. Neither warm nor cool, or perhaps both at once, it is the color of balance.

Paired with pink, it enhances the softness and freshness of green, creating a reassuring atmosphere and a feeling of comfort and relaxation. Use it generously at home. Mustard yellow brings out green’s brightest tones for a sophisticated, classic-inspired decor. This sunny duo reminds us of Provence and adds warmth to any interior.

For more depth in your interior, combine green with teal: it instantly creates a cozy and warm atmosphere!

In the Living Room

On the living room walls, khaki green creates a cozy and intimate vibe. To bring restorative energy into your living space, go for a green sofa with handcrafted cushions and mixed patterns; an Indian rug will be the ultimate cozy touch.

In the Kitchen

Highly recommended in the kitchen as it stimulates appetite, dark green is chic and enveloping. A natural wood countertop will enhance this shade. For a more nature-inspired, zen vibe, olive green is ideal to brighten and refresh your decor.

In the Bedroom

Due to its energizing properties, we recommend using green sparingly in the bedroom. Sage green creates a gentle, calming vibe, while forest green enhances a cozy, intimate feel.

Mix these tones with Indian quilts printed using wooden blocks—perfect for cocooning evenings or lazy mornings. Floral printed cushions will add a boho chic touch and make the bedroom your favorite room in the house!

In the Bathroom

Paired with white, a common bathroom color, green becomes sparkling—a combination that boosts your mood in the morning. For a refreshing decor, along with neutral materials, use our colorful toiletry bags to add cheerfulness. The ultimate green touch? Indoor plants to purify the air.
