IS GREEN THE NEW GREY?

by Cotswold Curtains & Interiors | Oct 13, 2026 | Latest News | 0 comments

Our seamstresses hope so, after so many years of sewing grey fabrics.

You can tell a new trend by the first fabric colour in the latest pattern books. As in the latest releases now in our Dursley showroom from ILiv and Clarke & Clarke.

But why green?

In Britain green brings the natural landscape inside, calms the nervous system, and can work flexibly as both a neutral and a statement shade.

Green is the easiest colour for the human eye to process, which helps relax the brain and reduce stress.

Green bridges the gap between grey British weather and natural landscapes.

Softer greens act as a warm alternative to plain grey, beige, or white.

Lighter greens add fresh energy to kitchens and alcoves, while deeper tones create rich, moody, and sophisticated spaces.

Green blends seamlessly with common British architectural and furnishing materials, including oak, walnut, stone, leather, brass, and linen.

With our help, choose green and make your friends and neighbours green with envy.

I’m very pleased with the end result and there was good communication throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would definitely use her services again.

Lesley was very helpful at suggesting styles for my rather difficult window shape and subsequently mad several blinds for my home which I'd recently renovated. She was professional and responsive throughout and I can highly recommend Cotswold Curtains.

Lesley has made many pairs of curtains and blinds for me and my family over the years and has always been a delight to work with. She is extremely professional and produces work of the highest standard. Nothing is ever too much trouble and she has the patience of a saint! Communication throughout the whole process is excellent.
The whole team at Cotswold Curtains are brilliant. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We moved into the area 4 years ago and Leslie has provided curtains for the whole house. Leslie has been a pleasure to work with, offering advice when requested. Her expertise is fantastic and we often dip into that before choosing design and style of fitting. As we are single glazed we have many triple lined full length curtains which are a real benefit in the winter. We have also had blinds fitted and window seats made to match our Wesley & Barrel Knole sofa. We are having a new kitchen later this year and Leslie has visited to discuss options. Leslie is very helpful, pleasant and mostly we value her knowledge. We can recommend Cotswold Curtains & Interiors without hesitation, they are our 'go to' people for interiors. David & Karan

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an interior designer for over 30 years, I will start my review with a raving recommendation. Kind, courteous, knowledgeable, professional are all attributes that come to mind. I don’t normally post reviews for people that I work with as they know, if they are good if I use them time and time again. If they aren’t, they don’t hear from me a second time. I am only posting now as I have read a review that has my blood boiling. If only there was a way to review our clients as well in this industry, people might not be so ill mannered as to post false/harmful reviews. Such a shame. Lesley is definitely on my “go to” list and will continue to be so. If you need work done well, look no further.
