The Green Effect
The Green Effect: Why We Love This Hue in the Home
There’s something about green that just feels right. Maybe it’s the way it softens a space without taking over. Maybe it’s how it connects us to nature even when we’re inside. Or maybe it’s that it reminds us to slow down — to breathe, reset and come home to calm.
At The Indoor State, green is more than a favourite styling tool — it’s part of who we are. Our name was inspired by the feeling we want every home to carry: a lived-in, thoughtful space that evokes emotion and ease. And just like that, green became part of our signature. You’ll see it in our branding, our vases, our velvet and our stems. Because green to us means life — grounded, growing and effortlessly inviting.
When we stage homes across Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, we choose every detail with intention. These are spaces that people need to feel — not just admire. And green helps us do that.
It grounds
Green brings a sense of balance and stability to a room — much like nature does in life. Whether you’re selling a home or simply styling it to live in, green helps to create a space that feels relaxed and thoughtful not overstimulating. It invites the eye to rest.
It softens
Used well, green adds depth without drama. It blends, enhances and layers beautifully with both warm and cool palettes — making it the perfect styling bridge between earthy woods, stone textures, whites and metallics.
It calms
There’s a reason green is used in healing spaces. It lowers stress, encourages connection and brings a freshness that doesn’t scream for attention — it just quietly transforms. A green moment in a room can shift the entire energy.
It connects
Plants, greenery and natural tones are some of the most emotionally resonant details in a home. They remind us of growth, of life and of spaces that are lived-in and loved. In styling, it’s these small intentional touches that draw people in.
Whether it’s a muted eucalyptus, a bold olive or a rich forest hue, green is always a yes from us. For staging. For styling. For home.
And when your home needs to stand out and feel like home? We’ll bring the green.
