This week in the Wylde blog we’re talking minty fresh, menthol hues – mint is making waves in interior design, and it’s easy to see why. This fresh, uplifting shade sits somewhere between green and blue, bringing a sense of calm and clarity to any space. Whether at home or in the workplace, mint is a great way to introduce colour without it feeling overwhelming. It’s subtle, stylish, and works well with a variety of design styles.
There’s something naturally soothing about mint. Colour psychology suggests that greens are linked to relaxation and renewal, which makes mint an excellent choice for creating a peaceful atmosphere. It feels fresh and airy, helping to brighten up a space while still being soft enough to act as a neutral. That’s why it’s becoming a popular alternative to grey and beige, particularly as we move towards warmer, more nature-inspired interiors in 2025.
Bringing mint into your home doesn’t mean painting every wall in sight—although a soft mint feature wall can look fantastic. Even small touches, like cushions, throws, or a mint-coloured rug, can refresh a room without too much commitment. In the kitchen or bathroom, mint tiles or cabinets add a crisp, clean feel, pairing beautifully with natural wood, stone, or warm metals like brass. In an office, mint walls or decor can create a calming environment that helps with focus and creativity.
If you’re worried about how to style it, mint is incredibly versatile. It works well with deep tones like navy or charcoal for contrast, while pairing it with soft neutrals or pastels creates a more laid-back look. It’s an easy colour to live with, bringing just the right amount of vibrancy without feeling too bold.
As interior trends move towards comfort, personality, and warmth, mint fits right in. It’s fresh, calming, and effortlessly stylish—whether you go all-in or just add a few accents, it’s a colour that can breathe new life into any space.
Here’s some inspo for injecting some minty freshness into your designs!
