When Martha draws inspiration from her Bedford estate, we all sit up and listen. Her latest furniture release brings a little of the New York property’s landscape indoors, introducing a rich fern green to her signature modular storage collection.
The shade feels particularly timely. As color trends continue to move away from stark, all-white minimalism, decorating with green has become one of the most beautiful ways to bring warmth and depth into a room without making it feel overwhelming. Martha’s choice feels rooted in that shift, while the furniture itself remains simple, with clean lines and a modular design that can work across a range of spaces.
Pairing a natural shade with practical furniture makes complete design sense. Living room storage ideas can easily become something you try to make disappear, but a deep green finish gives it enough presence to become part of the room. Take her Bedford Modular Fluted Storage Cabinet (available from Amazon) as the finest example from her latest living room furniture release.
Used as a low credenza, it sits comfortably alongside artwork and, if you love decorating with vintage pieces, serves as the perfect backdrop. Meanwhile, the larger configuration (also from Amazon) can provide a backdrop for ceramics and books (one of Martha's 100 books, perhaps)?
Inspired by Martha's iconic country home, this modular storage unit pairs versatile utility with a color that's only going to get more appealing as we head into 2027. Designed to adapt to your space, it's one of our favorite pieces to carry Martha's good name.
The appeal of green also goes beyond its current popularity. As Rohan Blacker, the founder of Schplendid, explains, it is a color that has long worked in interiors because of its connection to the natural world.
'Green is one of those colors that’s remarkably hard to get wrong,' Rohan says. 'It’s been about in nature for a few million years, so our eyes seem perfectly happy to live with it. Whether it’s a deep forest-green sofa, a bold wallpaper or just a few well-placed accents, it brings life to a room without making a big fuss about itself.'
That versatility is part of what makes Martha’s fern green storage so appealing. It has enough color to change the feel of a room, but is still easy to live with. Against pale walls, it can add depth to an otherwise neutral scheme. In a more traditional room, it would sit naturally alongside timber, brass and antique furniture.

Looking ahead to 2027, that balance feels increasingly relevant. Rather than abandoning minimalism altogether, interiors are becoming warmer and more connected to natural materials and colors. Martha’s green storage idea bridges the gap between everyday utility and organic elegance – a transition only she could execute so perfectly.
Plus, this cabinet isn't the only green piece tied to Martha. Below, I've curated a list of my favorite pieces that should be in your home before 2027.
