Meet Wild Fern – KNACK’s Newest Nature-Inspired Concrete Color
Concrete has long been a top choice for adding timeless elegance and versatility to modern interiors. But sometimes, a touch of color can bring a fresh twist to this durable material. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest color option, Wild Fern—a cool, rich green hue that’s as earthy as it is sophisticated. Inspired by the resilient ferns that thrive in Nebraska’s lowlands and shaded creek beds, Wild Fern brings the vibrancy of nature indoors, allowing concrete to shine in a whole new way. Let’s dive into the story behind Wild Fern, its unique qualities, and how it can transform spaces in both subtle and standout ways.
The Story Behind Wild Fern
Wild Fern is more than just a color; it’s a nod to the resilient beauty of nature. In the wild, ferns endure through varying conditions, flourishing in Nebraska’s shaded creek beds and prairie lowlands. Their vibrant green leaves bring life to hidden, shaded spots and add a refreshing contrast to their earthy surroundings. Our Wild Fern color captures this essence with a cool grey base that feels grounded, paired with forest green tones that evoke the freshness of a deep woodland grove.
This shade was chosen to embody the rich, organic connection to nature, making it an ideal color for designs that crave warmth and life. With Wild Fern, we invite you to bring a bit of the outdoors inside, creating spaces that feel both connected and rejuvenated.
Why Wild Fern?
So, why choose Wild Fern for your next design project? This color is all about balance. With a cool, neutral undertone, Wild Fern feels right at home in both bold, earthy designs and soft, minimalist spaces. It’s versatile enough to be used as a subtle backdrop or a statement color, blending effortlessly with wood tones, natural fibers, and a range of other materials.
Where many greens can be overpowering, Wild Fern offers a balanced richness. It’s subtle enough to complement existing decor without clashing, yet rich enough to draw the eye in. Think of it as the cozy sweater of greens—comfortable, grounding, and easy to pair with just about anything.
Love at First Fern
Wild Fern is like that cozy sweater you can’t stop wearing—warm, grounding, and totally versatile. Whether it’s a sink that soothes or a table that ties it all together, this green is your new design BFF.
Styling Ideas for Wild Fern
Ready to imagine Wild Fern in your space? Here’s how it can be styled in different settings to add that perfect touch of nature-inspired elegance.
Bathrooms:
Wild Fern sinks add a refreshing vibe to bathrooms, especially when paired with other natural elements like wood cabinets or stone countertops. The rich green color against a concrete backdrop brings a spa-like calmness to the bathroom, creating a space that feels grounded and peaceful. Paired with brass or matte black fixtures, a Wild Fern sink can add an unexpected layer of sophistication to any vanity setup.
Living Rooms:
For those who love nature but want to keep their decor minimal, Wild Fern is a fantastic color for coffee and end tables. Imagine a RUNDEN coffee table with a Wild Fern top, set against a neutral, cozy sofa and accessorized with a soft throw. This green shade works well with both warm wood tones and cool grays, making it a great choice for living rooms that seek an earthy, balanced aesthetic. The RUNDEN tables are not only functional but make a subtle statement, adding texture and depth to your living room.
Outdoor Spaces:
If you’re dreaming of a patio setup that blends seamlessly with nature, consider Wild Fern for your outdoor concrete pieces. Although we currently offer this color in limited products, it will soon expand to future outdoor collections. In an outdoor setting, Wild Fern’s natural tones come to life, especially when paired with other nature-inspired furniture. Whether it’s a patio table or a garden bench, the color’s understated green resonates with lush landscapes, creating a natural flow between your home and the outdoors.
Complementary Color Pairings
One of the standout qualities of Wild Fern is how well it pairs with other colors. For a soft, earthy palette, consider pairing it with creamy neutrals like ivory or beige. This creates a look that feels organic and airy, allowing the green tones to pop without overwhelming the space. Or, for a more dramatic contrast, try pairing Wild Fern with charcoal or deep, warm wood tones. This pairing adds depth, making Wild Fern feel even richer and more inviting.
For a bit of a quirky twist, consider mixing Wild Fern with accents of burnt orange or terracotta. These complementary hues create a playfully modern look, balancing the natural green with a burst of warmth. It’s a bold combination that would look right at home in a vibrant, eclectic space.
