Verdant – That Beautiful Bathroom Colour No One Can Quite Put Their Finger On

Is it turquoise? Is it dark mint? Is it desaturated cyan?? It’s certainly some kind of plant-like or almost aquatic green, but it’s just so hard to describe. Corian® refers to the colour you’re thinking of as “Verdant”, which is a word derived from the French vert for “green”. Whatever it is, it works absolutely beautifully in a luxury bathroom, which is why there are so many ever-so-slightly different versions of it cropping up in inspiring homes the world over.


Verdant – That Beautiful Bathroom Colour No One Can Quite Put Their Finger On

 

Is it turquoise? Is it dark mint? Is it desaturated cyan?? It’s certainly some kind of plant-like or almost aquatic green, but it’s just so hard to describe. Corian® refers to the colour you’re thinking of as “Verdant”, which is a word derived from the French vert for “green”. Whatever it is, it works absolutely beautifully in a luxury bathroom, which is why there are so many ever-so-slightly different versions of it cropping up in inspiring homes the world over.

Whether it’s for a fresh, spring-into-summer space filled with dried flowers and white rustic cabinetry, for a muted, Minimalist idyll that maximises peace and highlights function as form, or for an eclectic, boho spectacle filled with rainforest flora and a bedazzling, multi-hued colour scheme, Verdant has one characteristic that makes it ideal for the bathroom: freshness.

That’s very likely because we not only associate it with vegetation, generally, but also with the icy coolness of mint. In the morning, it helps to wake us up and ready ourselves for the day. In the evening, it helps to revitalise us as we wash away the stresses and strains of the working day.

 

 

Verdant is also a more elegant shade of green than most, allowing us to express our boldness without being gaudy or over-emphatic. Lighter than teal, darker than spearmint and subtler than turquoise, it has a peaceful, tranquil quality that nevertheless allows us to make a powerful interior design statement.

We can add just a touch of it on a feature wall with leafy wallpaper. We can paint our floorboards in a shade of it to make the otherwise white bathroom really pop. Or we can even find fixtures in it, like Verdant washbasins or bathroom cabinets. However and wherever we want to apply it, this is one shade of green that really maxes out on flexibility, which makes it so appealing even for the more conservative of remodellers.

 

 

In a year that’s been very indoorsy, to put it mildly, shouldn’t we be working that little bit harder to bring the outdoors inside? Don’t we want to re-invigorate our sense of connectivity with nature? After all, spring is just a few short months away – a new year; a new opportunity to make our homes feel meaningful and enriching. The beautiful, turquoise-ish, aquatic, mossy, minty, joyful green that we like to call Verdant might just be one of the better ways to get started.
