28 Green Bedrooms That Prove Just How Invigorating the Color Is
Go au naturale with these fresh ideas.
Selecting the perfect color scheme for your bedroom is simultaneously the most difficult step in the decorating process and the most exciting one. While most opt for the serenity of a blue space, don't count green out: The hue can be just as soothing and effortlessly connects your home with the natural world outside it. If you've already decided you want to spotlight green or you still need some convincing and inspiration, you're in the right place. We're showcasing designer green bedrooms that set the gold standard for decorating with this nature-inspired color. From a traditional primary bathroom in Palm Beach to a cheery child's room in Cape Cod, these stylish green bedroom designs will leave you green with envy. (But hopefully not for long, because you can recreate them in your own home.) Keep reading to see how this versatile anchor color can transform just about any bedroom, no matter where it is—an estate, city apartment, or even a mountain chalet.
Southern Charm
This Buckhead, Georgia, main bedroom looks like it's straight out of a movie—and that was designer Miles Redd's intention. The main bedroom, designed for Redd's mother, is a perfect blend of drama and softness, with luxurious window treatments and muted green hues.
Mint Condition
This bedroom designed by Hecker Guthrie is a lesson in layering contrasts. The loose gray linen bedding is relaxed and casual while the white bedside accents feel sophisticated and modern. The plush mint green carpet strikes a balance between the two.
Olive With It
Bailey McCarthy overhauled her Texas home—and gave her main bedroom a color upgrade. To add funky flair to the large expanse of green on the bed, McCarthy added colorful silk floral linens and a leopard print bolster.
Fantastic Fabric
A corner seating nook for lounging, reading, and chatting is a bonus in any bedroom, but even more so when the lounge chairs feature as fun a fabric as these do. Here, designer Andrew Flesher recovered a pair of vintage Ward Bennett Scissor chairs in a Marimekko print. If you have a vintage or antique piece you love but it's in the wrong color—don't let that stop you from living your green dream!
Tropical Greens
Leave it to Miles Redd to decorate such a breathtaking green bedroom. De Gournay's hand-painted silk Sans Souci wallcovering lays the foundation for a bright green paradise to come alive.
Green Machine
Sculptural metallic accents and rough-hewn features like exposed iron beams make this bedroom by Anik Pearson an industrial-chic masterpiece. Muted sage green lower walls and a mossy green ceiling soften the copper flooring and chestnut furnishings.
Marine Life
Designer Shari Francis gave the wall's exposed brick a partial whitewash to brighten this industrial space. Blue-greens in the bedding and artwork, along with the icy gray rug, help cool off the reddish-brown undertones.
Plant a Seed
For this North Carolina house, designer Lindsey Coral Harper painted the guest-room walls Benjamin Moore's Stem Green. "It immediately made this simple little space so happy," Harper says.
Break the Moldings
It's ok to take baby steps. If you're not quite ready to cover all of your bedroom walls in green, consider only painting the moldings, as seen in this bedroom designed by Maria Augusta "Guta" Louro. The contrast will not only enhance the bones of the space, but also create definition between the wall and ceiling. The throw pillows on the bunk beds tie it all together.
Quick Change
"I wanted to create a bedroom full of personality," designer Jae Joo says of the main bedroom in this Boston Rowhouse. Though classic and understated, the room brims with character thanks to a shrunken photo gallery, curved furniture, and colorful accents. The light gray walls look blue in some lighting and green in others; either way, they're a welcome departure from the go-to white canvas most bedrooms feature.
Summer Nostalgia
Designer Summer Thornton believes green can be a neutral—especially if you're looking to infuse a lake house with kid-friendly charm. This bedroom, made for the owner's grandchildren, has a nostalgic summer camp vibe (except it's infinitely more luxurious than the ones we attended).
Floor Model
Why paint the walls when you can wallpaper them and paint the floors instead? Catherine Kwong Design stuck to a tight color story, matching the green on the floors with the upholstered bed frame and intricately patterned wallpaper and creating a cocooning effect that's perfect for a small bedroom.
Neutral Territory
Make an impact in a neutral bedroom with layers of different textures and materials, as designer Heidi Caillier did here. The subtle mint-hued window frames and skirted bench offer visual respite from the monochromatic theme.
Green Layer
This maximalist guest bedroom designed by Martha Angus and Katie McCaffrey features a bevy of green hues, from the aqua walls and jade-hued lam to the malachite headboard and seafoam velvet ottoman. A blue bedside table and graphic black-and-white rug introduce variation.
Small Doses
Though this bold bedroom designed by Shazalynn Winfrey is dominated by a friendly chocolate-brown floral and playful red-and-white gingham print, the unexpected touches of Kelly green featured in the trim, canopy tie-backs, and monogram stitching is the unsung hero.
Natural Wonder
An ultra-light shade of green sets a soothing backdrop in this bedroom designed by Studio Shamshiri and effortlessly blends with the other nature-inspired elements, from the wood bedframe to the paneled ceiling.
Surprise Ceiling
This sweet bedroom in a New York City apartment designed by Elizabeth Cooper makes another strong case for going green on the ceiling, an effect that draws more emphasis from the bolder hues in the green semi-flush lantern and playful aqua shades.
Serene Green
A contrasting shade of green paint makes the moldings pop without being too high contrast in this soothing bedroom by Reath Design. The gray-green wallpaper acts as a neutral counterpoint to the red bed frame the punctuates the space.
Tropical Feel
This home is quintessential Palm Beach, sea shell decor and all. Sara Gilbane designed her parent's guest bedroom with green and blue accents as a nod to the ocean outside their door.
Flower Power
In her Parisian guest bedroom, designer Lynne Uhalt proves that green walls can be elegant, especially when you throw a maximalist floral print into the mix. Gold accents, delicate linens, and fresh blooms complete the scene.
