Spring is finally here, and I couldn’t be more excited! As a spring baby, this season has always held a special place in my heart. It’s that moment when nature comes back to life, colours bloom, and everything feels full of possibility.
If one colour captures the spirit of spring for me, it’s green. While lilac is my favourite, I’ve always loved how beautifully it pairs with green—a combination that’s both elegant and full of energy.
Across the African continent, green is everywhere—bold, rich, and utterly captivating, especially when set against the deep red earth. From rainforests to rolling hills, the landscapes are endlessly inspiring. And I’ve only seen a fraction of them! I can’t wait to explore more of the breathtaking scenery and vibrant cities that continue to shape my work.
Even in my everyday life here in London, green brings me joy—like my morning ritual of sipping a matcha latte from Blank Street, always pausing to admire that velvety green hue.
This spirit of colour, calm and confidence has flowed into our latest work at Eva Sonaike, especially in the Robert Langford x Eva Sonaike Collection. One standout piece is our Imole Green fabric—a fresh, grounding tone that brings elegance to any room.
Let’s explore how to bring this timeless, powerful colour into your interiors—and why green is the perfect choice for a spring refresh.
Bringing the Outside In: How to Style Green Indoors
1. Refresh Your Space with Green Soft Furnishings
Green doesn’t have to shout to make a statement. In fact, it’s the perfect way to anchor a room with colour while allowing bolder prints or accents to shine. Our Imole Sage and Alafia Green cushions and pouffes are a perfect starting point—bringing texture, richness, and a sense of calm into your living space.
Pairing green with lilac accessories—like throws, ceramics or fresh florals—creates a look that feels fresh yet refined, playful yet grounded. It’s a pairing I come back to time and again.
2. Embrace Green in Statement Furniture
If you’re ready for a bolder expression of spring, consider incorporating green through statement furniture. In the Robert Langford Collection, our dining chairs upholstered in Imole Green velvet offer a contemporary yet classic feel, especially when paired with warm wood and gold accents.
3. Layer Green with Natural Materials
Green comes to life when paired with organic, earthy materials. Think woven rattan, brushed brass, natural oak, or even hand-turned ceramic. Our handcrafted trays and tabletop pieces in Imole Sage also make beautiful, tactile additions to your dining or coffee table—offering a subtle yet impactful nod to spring’s fresh palette.
Green in African Design: A Celebration of Nature & Culture
Across the African continent, green symbolises prosperity, renewal, and life. It features prominently in everything from handwoven Kente cloth in Ghana to Adire textiles in Nigeria, often paired with burnt oranges, rich reds, and golden yellows—tones that reflect the land and celebrate abundance.
At Eva Sonaike, we honour this heritage by incorporating bold, verdant tones into our collections in a way that feels both authentic and contemporary. Green is never just a trend—it’s a timeless element of African visual language, used to express harmony, grounding, and a connection to the land.
Embrace Green & Refresh Your Home This Spring
Spring is a time of new beginnings, joyful colour, and meaningful connection to our spaces. Whether you embrace green through textiles, statement furniture, or decorative accents, it’s a colour that invites calm, clarity, and natural elegance.
