Strawberry Matcha: The Sweetest Interior Trend
Strawberry Matcha: the pink and green interiors trend set to be everywhere this summer
Move over beige, because there’s a new colour combination in town. Introducing strawberry matcha: the pink and green interiors trend that combines the calming nature of matcha with the sweetness of strawberries.
The trend has taken over TikTok (as many interior trends do), with the hashtag #strawberrymatcha racking up almost 15 million views at the time of writing.
Strawberry matcha is a playful aesthetic which offers a more interesting and dynamic take on standard millennial pink interiors, according to experts.
Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy’s trend expert, explains: “The best thing about this colour combination is how versatile it can be. Depending on the tones and shades of pink and green you choose, you can create a look that feels either playful and vibrant or calm and sophisticated.”
Johnson says the strawberry matcha trend is not only for interiors but fashion, too. “From clothing and accessories to home decor and party supplies, strawberry matcha is popping up everywhere,” she adds.
So how can you incorporate the strawberry matcha trend into your home without making it look like a child’s bedroom? Johnson offers some advice:
Start small. If you’re not sure how you feel about the trend, start by incorporating small pops of pink and green into your existing decor. Try adding a pink throw pillow to a green sofa, or a green vase to a pink side table.
Mix and match shades. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different shades of pink and green. A light pink and a sage green create a calming and sophisticated look, while a hot pink and a lime green create a more vibrant and playful vibe.
Use different textures. Incorporating different textures can help to add depth and interest to your strawberry matcha-themed space. Try pairing a velvet pink sofa with a woven green rug, or a smooth pink vase with a textured green plant pot.
Add some metallic accents. Gold or brass accents can help to elevate the strawberry matcha look and give it a more luxurious feel. Try adding a gold lamp to a pink side table, or a brass vase to a green shelf.
Whether you’re fully embracing the trend or just adding a subtle touch, strawberry matcha is a fun and stylish way to update your home for summer.
