Ode to Avocado Decor: Here’s Just How Good, or Nauseatingly Bad, It Can Get

It’s National Avocado Day! Here at realtor.com®, we wanted to celebrate the best way we know how: by highlighting the right—and very wrong—ways to decorate with the verdant shades of an avocado.

Green is a notoriously difficult color to bring into the home. It can be off-putting if used in the wrong way, which is why many people just steer clear. But there are ways to masterfully incorporate it into your interiors without going overboard.

Prepare to be wowed by the photos below—some of which used avocado-inspired decor to truly enhance the rooms, and some that really miss the mark.

Do: Try a tile backsplash

In which room does avocado-colored decor look the most apropos? The kitchen, of course! Choose green tile for the backsplash, and arrange it in a unique pattern to add texture and depth.

Don’t: Put it on the cabinets

Photo by Applegate Tran Interiors Subtlety is key when decorating with avocado-inspired colors, even in the kitchen. Any color you put on your cabinets will immediately stand out, so make your kitchen less of an assault on the eyes—steer clear of using bright green on ’em.

Do: Paint a piece of accent furniture

Have a favorite side table or chair that could use a makeover? A couple of coats of guac-inspired paint is just the thing to liven it right up. The green console table above looks sophisticated and fresh next to the antique wooden bed.

Don’t: Paint your entire house

There are plenty of ways to show your adoration for avocados, but painting your entire house this unsightly shade of green is not one of them. We appreciate that they tried to tone it down with the white trim. But still.

Do: Use it to accent the room

A throw pillow or blanket, an upholstered armchair, a tray—these are all small decor pieces you can use to accent the room with touches of avocado green. You can even use a few Monstera leaves or tree branches to incorporate the earthy tone into your home.

Don’t: Use it on everything

Some people may say the more avocado the better, but that works better on toast than it does with home decor. Bright green everything is never a good thing, especially in a bedroom. In a room that’s supposed to be your sanctuary, an avocado-colored rug+bedspread+curtains+wallpaper=the opposite of tranquil.

Do: Paint an accent wall

Photo by Weppner Architect

Bright green paint can work inside—it just needs to be used in small doses. Case in point: the accent wall above that’s used to highlight a photograph and bring depth to a living room. Notice how they balanced the wall out with other green touches like a throw pillow (strategically placed on the opposite side of the room) and plants.

Don’t: Paint the whole room

No matter how much of a fan you are of avocado green, four walls painted in this shade is just too much. Having such a bright color on the walls will make the room feel smaller and more closed in.

Architect Adie Courtney and family have lived in their incredible Warrandyte mid-century home since 2011. The bright and beautiful images here, though, belie the state Adie and husband Andrew initially found the home in, where flooding necessitated new drainings, services, cladding, lining, fittings and fixtures. But the couple could see the strong bones of this property, and the ‘something special’ that lay beneath the dripping carpets!

The 1960’s home was originally designed by architect David S Gordon, and Adie suspects the property was influenced by the McGlashan & Everist design for Heide II. With the concrete block fin walls and clean linear formal structure, it isn’t difficult to see this connection.

Since moving in, Adie and family have well-and-truly made it their own, as a space for art and living. Adie highlights timber-lined geometric skylight shafts as a particular favourite element, ‘each with differing angles, size and shape, giving a peek view of the eucalyptus canopy above.’ The continuous floor to ceiling panes of glass seamlessly connect inside and outside space – living the Warrandyte dream!

The family brought a large collection of art with them to the house, adding their own eclectic touches to the otherwise simple palette of concrete, timber, grey and white. Adie explains ‘we love how our collection of art really ‘pops’ on the walls.’ The art line-up includes stunning work by Adie’s sister Sal Courtney, New York-based Andrew Chan, Adie’s own ceramics, and sculptural works by sons Jack and Ben’s childhood. Adie enthuses, ‘we aimed to infuse our home with the essence of family – creating a real home.’

The furniture is a mix of ‘old, new, re-purposed and inherited’ – Adie’s parents’ table sits alongside Danish chairs, and a Patricia Urquiola Bend Sofa offers a soft curvy contrast to Andrew’s handmade table, made of reclaimed timbers. The turquoise dining chairs offer a bold splash, and were purchased under the guidance of interior designer Camilla Molders, who Adie explains was a ‘supreme hand holder’ in drawing together the interiors of the home.

This mid-century masterpiece is an architectural delight, but what makes it a beautiful home is the personality of the residents, which infuse every corner of the home. ‘We wanted the home to be about individuality’ Adie enthuses. Nailed it!
