This SURPRISING Color Is About to Be Everywhere, According to Designers

In case you haven't heard, Pinterest's summer 2025 trend report listed "dill green" as the color of the season. Its popularity can be strongly associated with the great outdoors and the recent surge of biophilic design, but we think dill green is actually a good year-round color to have in your home, especially when the winter blues kick in.

"Dill green feels like a love letter to nature—fresh, earthy, alive. It’s rooted in the everyday but feels unexpected. There’s something quietly rebellious about it," San Francisco-based designer Anu Jain of Atelier Oleana says. "This isn't the aggressive green of Gen Z neons or the sage of Scandinavian minimalism. Dill green is nuanced; a little culinary, a little nostalgic. It evokes herb gardens, vintage apothecaries, linen aprons, and late summer light. And in a world oversaturated with gray and beige, it offers a new kind of comfort: flavorful color that still feels grounded."

Everyone will fall in love with the versatile shade, whether you choose to color-drench with it or use it sparingly as an accent shade. Designer Marika Meyer adds that, since 2020, she's noticed many of her clients want to incorporate green elements into their spaces, reflecting people's ongoing desire to reconnect with nature. "Blues used to be the go-to color often requested by our clients, and now green is slipping into that space," she says. "There's so much popularity with British design these days, and we are seeing a lot of green decor items from brands out of the United Kingdom, especially with paints and wall coverings."

If neither jam girl summer nor guava girl summer has quite captured your heart this season, perhaps dill green will. Ahead, we spoke with designers to find six different ways you can use this color in your home starting today, and beyond.

Pair With Cool Tones

Your first instinct might be to pair dill green with neutral shades because that is the safe choice. However, designers encourage a little more fun with the hue here. "Consider using dill green with complementary blues or other tones of green, like olive, which will add a welcome complexity to the overall effect on an environment," says David Mann, principal at MR Architecture + Decor.

Instead of making a space feel overwhelming, a palette filled with similar colors may bring a jolt of boldness and personality to the space. "As with so many design choices, my philosophy with dill green is either go in one hundred percent or pull all the way back with just a touch at five percent," Meyer says. "The color combos with dill green are quite inspiring—it works well with neutrals and also brings synergy when paired with blue, pinks, or oranges."

Use Color in the Kitchen

Green, blue, and yellow are all popular colors for the kitchen, so if you've been dreaming about having a green kitchen, why not finally go for it? "Using dill green for cabinetry in a butler's pantry or kitchen creates harmony between choosing to use a color and keeping a space neutral," says Ginny Padula, principal designer of Town & Country Design Studio. Incorporating this shade in the butler's pantry will bring even more life into this space, which homeowners often neglect to decorate or do something special with, since it's more "hidden" compared to other spots in the house.

Lean Into the Earthy Element

According to Mann, dill green is trending because it evokes a sense of harmony with nature. "This shade of green, reminiscent of fresh herbs and foliage, brings a feeling of calm and balance to any space. As people increasingly look to reconnect with the natural world, especially in urban environments, dill green offers a subtle way to bring that sense of nature indoors," he adds. Lean into the earthy vibes by pairing the color with wood tones. Interior designer at Brandon Architects Kristen Wolff suggests "anchoring [dill green with] warm woods or tonal neutrals. It pairs beautifully with oak or walnut, grounding the playful color."

Jain goes a step further, adding that you should think botanical and not rustic farmhouse. "It’s not about quaint, it’s about cultivated," Jain adds. As for achieving that cultivated look, consider using wallpaper. "Whether it's grasscloth for textured or a printed dill green pattern, wallpaper can add depth and richness to a space," says designer Ellie Christopher. "I love how versatile it is—it can read feminine, masculine, or neutral depending on the design. Plus, peel-and-stick options have come a long way, especially for renters."

Work It Into Your Tablescape

Since dill green already feels like a color you'd see outdoors, it naturally works well for tablescaping. Whether you choose to incorporate it into your linens, florals, or stoneware dishes, the shade adds a casual elegance to outdoor entertaining. "Summer garden parties are gaining popularity, and what better way to bring this color in with fun tabletop decor, such as vases and frilly glassware?" says Gifty Walker, director of merchandising and sourcing at Joybird. "Imagine a fun tablescape with glassware and candlesticks that feel like your grandmother’s...sign me up." As a bonus, the color also pairs well with natural textures, like a teak wood outdoor dining table, wicker dining chairs, or even woven placemats.

Stick to Accents

We've spoken at length about making dill green a statement in rooms, but if you want to be a bit more conservative with color, that's fine too. Small pops of dill green will catch anyone's eyes just as much as a splashy painted wall. "When using dill green for decoration in a room, think of the detailing, such as curtain trimming or as small accent pieces such as art, throws, books, or glassware as a welcome pop of freshness to create a richer, more layered look," Mann says. "You can also incorporate dill green in decor elements, like ceramic vases, woven baskets, or lampshades to enhance the organic feel of the space."

It doesn't hurt that green goes with everything, too. "If you’re going to paint something green or buy a green item, find a coordinating element with that same color in it to connect them visually," says designer Ariane deBraux Triay of La French Goose. "It could be a hint of green in your bed sheets, on a throw pillow, or in an area rug. The options are endless, but by having another item with the same color, your space will start to feel intentional."

Pair With Natural Materials

You already know dill green works symbiotically with Mother Nature-approved finishes like wood, so it makes sense that many designers recommend also pairing it with materials like rattan and colors like cream. "This creates that effortless 'bringing nature indoors' vibe that feels both sophisticated and relaxing," says Rebekah Zaveloff, co-founder and creative director of Imparfait Design Studio. "When using dill green as your main color, stick to other nature-inspired tones like warm wood, cream marble, or soft linen, and avoid competing with bright colors that might clash. Think of dill green as your sophisticated neutral and build around it with natural textures and materials that enhance rather than fight its organic beauty." If you want your room to have a bright and light feel versus the inside of a maximalist's brain, you'll want to follow Zaveloff's approach.
