In the ever-evolving world of home decor, trends come and go. While pistachio green once captivated with its soft, pastel charm, Joanna Gaines is championing a deeper, richer shade for fall and winter: forest green.

The majesty of ancient forests has long inspired interior design and color trends. From the grandeur of towering oak trees to the intricate curves of acanthus leaves, rich, velvety greens bring a nurturing connection to nature into the home. Decorating with dark green offers a sophisticated, enduring alternative to lighter, fleeting shades such as pistachio.

By embracing this earthy green for your fall table decor and beyond, you are choosing a color that transcends trends. Forest green not only endures, but cultivates a sense of calm and connection to nature – a reminder that decorating with intention creates a home that truly lasts.
