How To Decorate A Green Bedroom

Ah, green. Don’t you feel more relaxed already? Just knowing that you’re diving into a blog about decorating your bedroom green, from sage to soft moss, you can feel the tension leave your shoulders. And imagine how you would use forest green or sea foam … Stay awake! You can’t just throw green at the walls and expect to slip peacefully into the land of nod. You need to know how to decorate a green bedroom in a manner that pleases you.

Before we start, let us delve into why you like green so much.

It’s green, like nature, so you relax. Okay, that was not much of a delve.

How to decorate a green bedroom when you want it all green!

So, you really love green. You want to sleep amongst your green duvet set in your green pyjamas under a green canopy. And you already know that decorating a green bedroom means there’ll be many shades of green involved – but wait! Lime and sage are duelling tones. How about you keep your shades of green reasonably close together? Add a totally different colour for a very poppy accent, and you’ll still have your passion for green on full display in your especially decorated green bedroom.

And don’t forget the doorway. What is this business of painting ceilings and woodwork white? Your bedroom doorway should also be decorated green, to lead you into the green bedroom that is your green haven.

Decorating your bedroom green, or any other one dominant colour, helps blur the edges of your room, and therefore makes a small room appear bigger. It also highlights any furniture you want on display, such as the new bed you treated yourself to since you’ve gone to the effort of decorating your green bedroom, you have quite rightly treated yourself.

How to decorate a green bedroom with a theme

Now that you’ve decided to take the plunge and decorate your bedroom green, you may still be looking for inspiration on how to put your different greens together. Having a theme – like, well, nature – helps. Plants are an obvious accessory for a decorated green bedroom. They may even go to sleep and wake up with you. How’s that for settling your natural rhythm?

For a country feel, add wall panelling. The bed itself could be a statement. The headboard alone can do a lot of the work here. Green and the colours that go with it – from blue to pink – will make it easy for you to throw in some Art Deco-style furniture. Maybe your obsession with Dorothy dictates an homage to the Emerald City. Bejewelled colours always go well together, ruby or otherwise, to see you off into an opulent night of slumber.

Having a theme, from nature to the city, will help you make decisions, as well as marking your decorated green bedroom, and therefore yourself, with a distinct style.

Once upon a time, timid souls used to say that blue and green should never be seen. Of course blue and green are beautiful together. Just look at any horizon!

Pink, yellow and orange offer a vibrant and pretty contrast. Brown is a natural neutral to go with your decorated green bedroom, especially in regard to floors (duh) and furniture. Yes, that old fuddy-duddy brown furniture is actually a gorgeous rich brown, maybe with red undertones, adding warmth and cosiness to your decorated green bedroom.

Which window dressings will go in my newly decorated green bedroom?
