Chartreuse is one of the main trends of 2024 and it’s a color that always manages to stand out and is commonly spotted in those peppy interior design magazines. Chartreuse is a haughty color that is used best when other colors around it are toned down in warmth or are plainer, like white, grey, and peach. For this reason, the chartreuse color doesn’t play along well and is a loner and an attention seeker that requires your extra care to integrate it with other colors.
What Is Chartreuse Color?
Chartreuse is a range of colors lying between yellow and green, originating from the French liqueur ‘Chartreuse,’ developed by Carthusian monks in the 1740s. Chartreuse Yellow or Chartreuse Green are the two variants typically recognized. Chartreuse Yellow, resembling the color of the original liqueur, is a vividly intense yellow-green hue, while Chartreuse Green is a darker, more forested green, named after the color of the liqueur’s green variant.

How To Incorporate Chartreuse In Home Decor?
Chartreuse walls are a popular idea, though if you aren’t sure, go for just one accent wall then. Chartreuse can be rocked using furniture – refined loveseats, chairs, coffee tables, consoles and desks, and if you don’t have such a piece but want it, just take some paint and go for it. Chartreuse is great to apply with accessories and textiles: curtains, pillows, rugs, artworks and other stuff. Make sure that you will calm down your chartreuse items, unless you are pulling off maximalist decor. Look how to do that with style in our gallery!
