A new color palette for interiors is drawing attention in furniture design: mint green combined with chocolate brown.
+ Goodbye gray: blue inspired by Dwayne Johnson will be the new kitchen color in 2026
According to Livingetc, this unexpected color combination may be the next trend in modern and bold homes, bringing freshness, coziness, and personality to spaces.
MADE and the color trend forecast
To celebrate the brand’s 15th anniversary, MADE partnered with the trend forecasting company Unique Style Platform (USP) to create a palette that reinvents 15 iconic pieces in bold shades. The central idea is that colors carry memories and influence the way we feel and live in our homes, according to Jane Kellock, creative director of USP and color specialist quoted by Livingetc.
The line features furniture such as chocolate brown velvet armchairs paired with mint green table lamps, offering a balance between sophistication and a playful touch.
The inspiration behind the colors
Jane Kellock explains: “We looked at the colors forecast for fall/winter 2025/26 and instinctively chose what would work for MADE, considering the brand’s identity and strong sense of color.” According to her, dark chocolate and burgundy tones align with contemporary trends, while mint green adds freshness and a vibrant accent to the environment.
In addition, combinations with light blue and deep berry tones create a contemporary and nostalgic contrast, perfect for upholstered chairs, side tables, and decorative details that stand out without overwhelming the space.
How to apply it in your home
To use this palette in 2025 and beyond, some tips are essential:
- Brown as a solid base: ideal for larger furniture and structural pieces.
- Mint green in the details: lamps, accessories, or small decorative items bring freshness to the space.
- Personal touch: “Always add your individual touch and don’t overdo it,” advises Jane, according to Livingetc.
The result is a cozy, contemporary, and inspiring home that combines elegance with boldness, perfect for those who want to innovate without losing harmony.
With this combination of mint green and chocolate brown, MADE and USP show that daring with colors is the key to creating welcoming and personality-filled environments, making each space unique and vibrant.
