Warmth You Can See — Earth Tones and Deep Green Interior Design
This season’s shift toward earth tone colour palettes and deep green interiors reflects a collective desire for calm. These colours ground a space, soften visual noise, and make rooms feel held rather than styled. Deep green, named Sico’s Canadian Colour of the Year for 2026, brings quiet confidence and comfort to modern and traditional homes alike. It supports the idea of home as refuge, not performance. As an editor and a homeowner, I have always gravitated toward spaces that feel calm, grounded, and lived in. That is why the Canadian paint forecast for 2026 feels less like a trend and more like a collective exhale. Sico’s deep green aligns perfectly with what many of us are craving right now. Earthy greens, warm browns, clay tones, and softened neutrals create rooms that feel steady and comforting. Deep green, in particular, brings a quiet confidence. It settles a space and makes it feel held rather than styled. What I appreciate most about this palette is how livable it is. These colours work across modern and traditional homes, pairing naturally with wood, stone, and woven textures. They support the idea of home as refuge. Not a showpiece, but a place to land. For 2026, colour is not about making a statement. It is about creating peace of mind.
