Why this colour is taking over our kitchens this autumn
The weather has changed, the nights are getting longer and there's no better way to embrace the new season than jumping on the ultimate autumn kitchen trend
There's a chill in the air, leaves are beginning to crunch under foot and we'd rather cuddle up at home with a hot chocolate than head out to a wine bar.
The weather has let us know in no uncertain terms that summer is over, and we've switched from crunchy salads and refreshing cocktails to comfort food.
We're seeing forest green kitchen accessories everywhere this autumn, and we think it's the perfect way to embrace the new season.
Whether you're looking for a new high-tech piece of kitchen kit or want some small accessories to bring your kitchen up to trend, find our picks of the best forest green kitchen accessories for autumn.
