The day my husband and I moved into our house, I painted almost the entire first floor green. Mother Nature knows what she’s doing with this hue, and though I’m not an outdoorsy type, I can’t get enough of the color inside my house. My love for green means that I am constantly keeping tabs on my favorite green products. And with warmer temperatures right around the corner, I think we’re all ready to bring more of this natural hue into our homes. And how do I always suggest adding color to your home? With fabric, of course! Dive in and have a look at these prints and patterns that I’m loving right now. — Daniela from Aesthetic Oiseau
Sassari Ikat Leaf Fabric - $89.60 Sassari ikat from Lee Jofa has to be one of my top-five favorite fabrics of all time. This shade is the perfect apple green, and the timeless pattern goes with everything. I use it in my own living room and love it more and more the longer I live with it.
Portfolio Santa Rosa Pear Fabric - $31.15 Chartreuse is such an invigorating shade of green, and I love this bulbous geometric. It has the look of flower petals in a small-scale fabric and can be used in so many ways.
Waverly Country House Toile Dill Fabric - $23.85 This is a classic, feminine and soft toile in a dusty shade of beautiful sage green.
Waverly Bits 'n' Pieces Violet Fabric - $15.15 I think my favorite color pairing with green is lavender (and plum and orchid). I love the movement and painterly appearance of this fabric, done in this great combination of hues.
Dena Designs Chevron Charade Citrus Fabric - $23.85 If chevron is still your jam, I recommend this looser interpretation, in which green is center stage with supporting roles filled by gray and aqua. It’s great for a little man’s space.
Waverly Charlotte Walnut Fabric - $21.65 I love how the vibrant green leaves contrast with the taupe-gray blooms in this fabric. It’s a very sophisticated floral due to its restrained color palette.
Porcelain Blossom Fabric - $40.53 Fun in a fabric! The grass-green ground (say that three times fast) is so saturated and vibrant, and I adore the urns, plates and platters of the decidedly chinoiserie pattern.
Kitley Print Leaf Fabric - $173.60 Oh my, yes! This classic, classic floral would make the most perfect backdrop in a gorgeous traditional space. Really rich colors provide lots of opportunity for accompanying saturated tones — think about a raspberry velvet sofa paired with this one.
Green Fabric - $48.30 I really love the true kelly green of this tribal ikat geometric.
Chalcott Garden Leaf Fabric - $37.10 If you like tonal fabrics, you’ll love this one; it has just about every shade of green imaginable. I love to use one color throughout a room and provide interest by using different shades and saturations, and this fabric would be a great foundation for a room done in greens.
Alexander Leaf Fabric - $139.30 Simply gorgeous, this investment fabric is worth every penny for the sophistication it would add to your space.
Zimmer Spring Fabric - $35.98 I really love the boho spirit of this fabric; I could see it in a bright white kitchen as upholstery on bar stools, kitchen chairs or even window treatments, like Roman shades.
Jour De Juin Multi on Mint Fabric - $83.30 I’m a fan of sweet florals, and this spearmint wonder is just precious with its mini blooms and insect critters.
Bindi Cotton Fabric, Kelly - $21.98 This very simple paisley composed of rich green and navy blue would look beautiful as upholstery juxtaposed with a small-scale fabric on pillows.
Caftan Fabric, Kiwi B - $24.98 Pink and green comprise another one of my favorite combinations, and I love this vibrant take on ikat. That pop of cerulean blue is so fun!
Gatsby Fabric, Chervil - $12.49 I would love to see this granny-chic floral stripe made youthful against fuchsia. Or just embrace its traditional prettiness and hang it as beautiful curtains in a spring-green room.
Malakos Fabric, Malachite - $19.98 Malachite lovers, this one is for you! I think I prefer my malachite in small objets and accessories, but I know some of you can’t get enough of it, and fabric is a great way to get a pattern you love in big doses.
Pagodas Cotton Fabric, Jade - $21.98 This is one of the best chinoiserie prints out there right now. This green colorway is so striking, and the pagodas are amazing.
Regency Fabric, Lime - $40 Animal print looks quite chic in green. I’m usually not for adventurously colored animal prints, but this green one just works for me, perhaps because of the small-scale print.
Grass Fabric - $33.60 And here’s the buffalo check that I pretty much always include in all of my fabric ideabooks. I just love it so. This green is so neutral that I can see it in a manly study or a guest bedroom.
