What’s not to love about the color green? Whether you prefer light and minty shades of green or are enthralled by the darker side of green, any shade of the color can bring new life to the interior of any residential living space, rental unit, or office. Learning how to pair green with the right accent pieces and furniture will help you make the most of green’s uplifting and cheerful hues.
Mint Green
Delightful and sweet, mint green with its pastel hues is a refreshing option for any room. It pairs well with multiple accent colors and is both cheerful and soothing. It’s a perfect option for those who prefer subtle colors or who wish to upgrade their current neutral walls with a little color without going too bold.
For a springtime look year-round, choose white accent pieces and furniture to complement mint walls. Floral print drapes or floral print upholstery fabrics will enhance the springtime look and feel of the room. Decorate bookshelves or accent tables with white vases of fresh cut flowers in any color to bring the magic of mint to life.
Seafoam Green
Just slightly darker than mint green, seafoam green is fun and lighthearted shade of green that adds energy and serenity to a room. It’s an attention-grabbing shade for an office, living room, family room, bedroom, or hallway. Used in a kitchen area, seafoam green complements stainless steel or black kitchen appliances well.
Don’t be afraid to pair seafoam green with deep shades of burgundy if you want to create a little drama in your interior living space. Seafoam green walls make a perfect backdrop for burgundy drapes in a geometric print. A beige sofa or chairs will add contrast and balance to the room.
Apple Green
If you want a fun and cheerful shade of green that will give any room an instant uplift, look no further than apple green. It’s a natural choice for bringing a dull kitchen to life, but it also makes a great color for a bathroom or playroom. If you love apple green’s cheerfulness but worry it may be too overpowering for an entire room, consider using it for the ceiling and trim and painting remaining walls cream or white.
Light to medium shades of red are a match made in heaven for accenting apple green walls. In the kitchen, accent apple green walls with a white kitchen table and red chairs. Red and cream gingham checked curtains will add a pleasing contrast to apple green walls.
Hunter Green
Rich and deep, hunter green is a good choice for freshening up rustic, country, and colonial-themed living spaces. Wood elements are common in these types of spaces and hunter green will enhance the beauty of natural wood furnishings and trims. Light-colored wooden accents work best to contrast the rich shade of hunter green.
Hunter green needs lighter accents to balance out its dark hues, but you should avoid harsh whites and choose softer colors, such as beige, gray, or light wine colors. Painting bookcases or shelves beige in a living room or family room will help keep hunter green’s rich color under control. Plaid drapes in cream and beige fabrics are a good companion for dark hunter green walls.
When you choose to go green with any interior living or office space, you won’t be disappointed. Green is a great option if you want to upgrade a neutral living space with a little color while maintaining a serene and relaxed atmosphere or if you want to energize and recharge a boring room.
