Colour expert Annie Sloan says her pigment-packed Terre Verte is 'the perfect backdrop to the nostalgic countryside look.' If you're worried about it feeling too countryside and traditional, Annie Sloan has some sage advice.

If you're feeling inspired, our green living room ideas piece has plenty of ways to bring the outside in with this natural hue. Sage green is a soothing and liveable tone - and always looks brilliant next to pink.
