When designing a bedroom, deciding the colour of your walls can always be the hardest part. To many of us our bedrooms are our very own ‘oasis’ and making them feel like our own is essential to many of us. Although some may say neutrals are always having a moment, the colour green is the perfect option if you’re looking for a colour that is calming and will add a touch of serenity to your bedroom.
Green is refreshing and optimistic — and is also a colour that is comforting to the eyes, which makes it a great option for a bedroom colour. We suggest accessorising your green bedroom with either creams, pinks, browns or other shades of green, for a truly sleek bedroom look.
Seen as the must-have bedroom colour to have this year, Melanie Archer the Colour Expert at John Lewis said: “We are seeing far more green shoots this year — the colour is poised to overtake grey as the nation’s interior shade of choice.”
With that in mind, if you would like to paint your whole bedroom green or want to create a striking green feature wall, green is a soft and subtle way to add colour into your bedroom. With so many shades that will suit different styles and create different moods, it is a colour that truly transforms any space!
Here we take you through some simple green bedroom design ideas to help you create a beautiful green room, which will leave all your guests in awe and envy.

1
Try a muted tone
If you are nervous you will tire of green in your bedroom, try a muted tone. A gorgeous earthy green will give a countryside look to your bedroom. Pair with neutrals alongside striking floral cushions for a homely feel to your bedroom, like seen here by Farrow & Ball.

Opt for a striking headboard
If you are looking to elevate your green room, try adding in a distinctive headboard. This will immediately make your green walls less the centre of attention in a good way. We particularly love this art deco headboard from John Lewis.

Try dual tones
If you're looking for a creative green bedroom idea, try painting a lighter shade of green up to the ceiling and then a darker colour on the lower half, which will help to anchor the space.
This should help create a feeling of height, making it especially ideal for smaller rooms.

Pair with rustic furniture
Choosing simple, unfussy furniture is always a great interior move when designing a green bedroom. Rustic furniture is the perfect choice, as the warming colours of brown mixed with the earthy tones of green immediately help to create a warming and comforting space. We love the mixture of rustic and green tones in this bedroom designed by Heanly Harris.

Add in subtle green furnishings
Of course, you don’t need to paint or paper every wall in green inside your bedroom to embrace the colour. If you’re still unsure of the colour in your room, start by adding simple furnishings that are green. Whether it’s a cushion, throw, or bedding, it will immediately add a touch of calm to your bedroom.

Pair with hints of gold/brass
The brightness of the gold works perfectly with the deep tones of the green to add a subtle pop of colour. Be careful to not overdo it with the gold though, as this may take away from the green in your room.
