Chief Sub-Editor and Writer, Houzz Australia and New Zealand. I love design and architecture that is thoughtful, sophisticated and champions an element of the unexpected. Before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts at UNSW and becoming a journalist, I studied interior architecture. For over a decade I have interviewed inspiring creative minds from around the world to write about design in its many different forms. Recently, I have also become an accidental gardener, to everyone's surprise.

From grey-based greens and olive tones to cool minty fresh and warmer greens, feast your hungry eyes on these 30 inventive interiors that wear green in all its glory.

I love all these greens - the colour of nature. We have done our house in a mid olive green (similar to the top cupboards in No. 27), grey ironbark floors and white trim on the windows and doors and white plantation shutters. It is so fresh and calming. Our last house had pale mint green walls, a darker mint in the kitchen with very dark green vinyl on the floor in the kitchen and family room, combined with dark timber furniture. I loved it.
18!
I love number 9 - not just because its in Paris! I love the wobbly soft green/blue tiles and paint matched with the timber and terrazzo.
We installed soft green kitchen cupboard doors and clear glass tiles (which come up very pale green when backed with white) 20 years ago and they still look great - even if a bit battered!
