Many trend experts might say that green and gray are a thing of the past. However, according to Homes & Gardens, this color duo remains strong in living room interior design precisely because of its cozy and timeless aesthetic.

A great example is Nicole Kidman’s living room. In a photo shared on her Instagram, the actress showed her dog resting on a light gray sofa adorned with green and yellow pillows. The result is simple, inviting, and elegant — a reminder of how this palette keeps its strength year after year.
According to Homes & Gardens, the natural combination of green and gray evokes the tranquility of nature and instantly creates a sense of calm. Carlin van Noppen, a design specialist with more than 20 years of experience in upholstery at Fig Linens and Home, explains: “Although warm neutral tones like beige and chocolate brown have dominated recent trends, that doesn’t mean gray has disappeared. Many sophisticated people still use this cool neutral tone in their projects.”
She adds that this pairing is relaxing because it reflects the palette we find in the forest: tree bark, river stones, and the freshness of greenery. As Homes & Gardens highlights, this connection with the natural world is what keeps the combination relevant and captivating.
Even though new palettes emerge every season, the classics endure. Green and gray prove that when used in balance — even in details such as artwork or accessories — they create a timeless, welcoming, and elegant look.
