WickedCore is the latest homeware trend we’re loving, and Marks & Spencer has proof of that, having seen 57,000 searches for ‘Wicked’ during the month of October.
The film adaptation of Ariana Grande’s hit musical is set to be released in the UK on November 22 this month. As a result, we’ve seen green and pink become an emerging trend in home decor.
WickedCore is all about creating theatrical drama, combining rich green and romantic pink to show the struggle between good and evil, giving your room an emotional and dramatic feel.
The M&S Wicked collection appears to have been at the forefront of this trend, with 11,000 searches for the collection in its first week of release. It is a mixture of household items, clothes and Christmas decorations.

How to coordinate pink and green
The broader WickedCore trend challenges you to embrace pink living room ideas, kitchen ideas or even a pink bedroom with a touch of green of course. Are you brave enough to do this?
“This trend is all about capturing Elphaba’s bold spirit and Glinda’s sweet charm, mixing deep emerald green and soft pink to create a magical ambience in your home,” says Victoria Robinson, style expert at Hillarys.
“You can start by layering rich greens and soft pinks throughout your space, along with some dramatic blacks. It’s perfect for everything from Halloween decor to everyday style, and can be used throughout your home, from the bedroom to the shoe room !
‘Window treatments can really elevate that sinister look. Imagine lush green curtains that reflect Elphaba’s power paired with soft pink curtains that reflect Glinda’s magic.
“Don’t be afraid to play with textures!” Think velvet for those emerald curtains and light fabrics for the pink curtains.
‘A look is about more than just colour. Elphaba’s strong energy shines through the structured furniture, while Glinda’s sweetness is all about those soft pinks, floating textures and delicate touches.’
Will you opt for a subtle decor piece or go bold with green and pink WickedCore this season?
