From accent furniture pieces to all-over green colour schemes, we guide you through the best ways to transform your home with a new favourite colour. Indistinguishably linked with the perpetual beauty of nature, green is a timeless hue that pairs well with many other colours within interior design.
Often associated with health, rejuvenation, growth, and creativity - Green is an organic shade, making it an uplifting choice for any room in the home. It’s unmatched in its ability to bring life to any space, representing the balanced tones of nature and promoting a feeling of wellness and vigour.
It's a dynamic and refreshing colour that comes in many different shades, from the more elegant and cool sage to bright and bold emerald or deep and relaxing teal. Pale hues can create relaxing spaces, while punchier tones can feel warm and exuberant.
While many greens are beautifully neutral and work well in all sorts of situations, there are paint ideas that will work better in different rooms. Energising and uplifting, zesty lime, vibrant apple and botanical leafy shades are excellent choices for green kitchen ideas - while hues with warm undertones, like olives, are great for creating cosy green living rooms and for north-facing rooms.
There is so much scope with green; decorate with green walls or add it as an accent shade on furnishings. Whatever you decide, these featured rooms will leave you green with envy! But most importantly, consider the atmosphere you want to create; is it calm and cocooned or energetic and vibrant?
The crucial thing is to pair whatever hue you choose with the right accent colour to create a feeling of flow throughout a room. If you're using green paint, pinks (another popular shade) respond beautifully to green for accessories and accent choices, as do mid-tone brown-based neutrals.
Whether using it in a statement pattern, bold block colour or a subtle accent, our gallery of green room ideas will inspire. Read on to find out more.

Chalky sage green walls are a restful choice for a living space, teamed with botanical design elements, and fresh greenery invites the sensation of nature indoors.
Pale green is restful, especially in a busy space - in a warmly lit bedroom, it can feel incredibly soothing, especially if paired with furniture made from natural materials or accessories in a complementary hue like blush pink.

An effortless way to introduce colour to a space is to go bold with your walls. Whether you opt for a bright paint colour or choose a wallpaper in a vivid green tone, you can transform a room instantly.
Keeping the wall the same colour as the furniture helps to blend the room together – if nothing stands out, then your eye will flow around the space, in a small room, this can be key to making it feel larger.
EVOKE WHOLESOME ELEGANCE

Olive green is definitely having a moment right now. This calming hue is bold yet understated and looks stunningly elegant as an all-over wall colour, a feature, or as a pop of colour on doors or furniture.
With warm, earthy undertones, light olive shades are a brilliant choice for decorating with green and are a good match for rusty tones, natural materials and period fabrics.
PLAY WITH PATTERNS
