Green Bedroom Paint Ideas

Green can be a great choice for your home interior for several reasons.

Firstly, green is strongly associated with nature and the outdoors, which can create a sense of harmony and tranquillity in your home, and also help to ease stress and anxiety. It can also help bring the outside in, especially when paired with natural textures such as wood or stone.

Green is also a very flexible colour that comes in many shades. From light pastels to deep, dark hues, it can work in a variety of interior design themes, from modern and contemporary to traditional and countryside.

Is green a good colour for a bedroom?

Green paint colours for bedrooms can be a good choice because of their naturally calming and soothing associations with nature, growth, and renewal.

Darker shades of green, such as forest green or hunter green, can create a cosy and intimate atmosphere in a bedroom, while lighter shades like sage or mint can create a fresh and spa-like environment.

If you enjoy the calming and soothing qualities of green and feel that it complements your décor and personal taste, then it could be a great choice for your bedroom.

Plenty of plants

When green is a key part of your bedroom space, there’s no better way to compliment it than with plenty of lush houseplants and greenery. Choose a range of different sized plants to add depth and height to your room, and always go for those varieties with minimal maintenance so that they keep looking lush and green ongoing.

Shiny new shelves

If you don’t want green to overtake your bedroom, but are still keen to introduce it slowly, then painting your shelves is a great place to start. These greener than grass shelves pop out wonderfully against the fresh white wall paint, and really bring to life all the objects sitting on top of them.

Fancy fireplaces

If you are blessed with a feature fireplace in your bedroom, then painting it green could cause a striking display against an already green wall. Opting for a slightly brighter shade than the wall will make it stand out a little brighter than the walls, without appearing too overbearing or loud.

Eco credentials

Using all-natural fabrics and fibres in your bedroom will not only give your home an excellent eco-rating, but it will also make the space feel more earthy and inviting for you to spend time in. Opt for natural jute flooring, wooden furniture, metal lamps, and glass accessories to truly compliment your green bedroom paint scheme.

Green and pink bedrooms

Green and pink have the potential to be both bright and bold colours, so it's important to balance them properly together in a bedroom setting. Choosing to pair a muted or pastel shade of green, such as sage or mint, with a similarly muted shade of pink, such as blush or rose can create a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere that is subtle and harmonious.

Green & grey bedrooms

Green and grey are natural paint partners because their natural tones intertwine beautifully when the right shades are chosen – just like out in the wild. Therefore, be adventurous with greens and greys together in several shades, and with that in mind, why not add some painted wall murals to your child’s bedroom to bring them closer to nature?

Green and black bedrooms

Elements of black and monochrome against a soft green paint mix to create a sophisticated and contemporary bedroom style. Using small accents of black in the form of bedside tables and bed frames will ensure that the room doesn’t appear too dark, while light-coloured bedding and flooring will balance out the brightness beautifully.
