Chartreuse: The
Unexpected Star
We know — it sounds like a bold
move. But chartreuse is quietly becoming the “it” color for living rooms
in 2026. “It’s my new favorite,” says
Molten, who’s using it for everything
from drapery trim to painted frames.
This yellow-green shade might remind you of a spring leaf or a lemon-lime soda, and that’s kind of the
point — it’s fresh, unexpected, and
joyful. If you’re not ready to go all
in, try it as an accent: a chartreuse
lamp, a velvet pillow, or a piece of
abstract art can liven up your neutral base in seconds.

Warm Neutrals
Over Cold Grays
The “greige” era is giving way to a
new wave of warmth. According to
designer Lauren Gruver, “The days of
stark grays and sterile minimalism
are behind us.” Instead, we’re seeing
creamy whites, sandy taupes, soft
caramels, and muted clay tones take
center stage.
These hues are incredibly versatile. Pair them with sage green for
a calming palette, or mix in navy
for a coastal twist. Best of all, warm
neutrals naturally make a space feel
more welcoming — perfect for winter hosting or simply snuggling up
with your favorite blanket and a
movie marathon.
