Green is the color of a dreamy woodland forest, lush green grass in the middle of summer, a desert succulent that blends into its sandy backdrop. We can find green in countless places across nature, but no matter the source of inspiration, this color evokes a sense of quiet serenity. Whether you prefer a deep green, a lighter hue, one with soft blue undertones, or a fusion of warmth, let these green bedroom ideas recommended by interior designers guide your décor process.

Deep, dark greens are gorgeous, but don't write off ultra-pale versions like this light sage green used by ATX Interior Design. Bedding in a similar color brings the design together while wainscoting on the walls infuses even more texture for a subtle boost of visual interest.

Mix and Match Your Green

Multi-Green Bedroom

Marc Mauldin / Theresa Butler Interiors

For a color-saturated look with some dimension, go for a green monochromatic color story like Theresa Butler Interiors did here. The built-ins and closet doors are the same shade, while the green patterned wallpaper, funky rug, and bedding tie in other shades.

For a singular pop of green, which is sometimes all you may want, consider bringing in a statement-making bed frame. A majestic velvet bed frame incorporated into this room by Living with Lolo serves as an artistic focal point and a contrasting burst of color in an otherwise light, neutral space.

Try a Muted Blue-Green

If a bold forest green or verdant hue doesn't feel your speed, venture into other parts of the green color spectrum. This near-neutral green—which has a dusty, almost blue quality—creates a serene and inviting space.

Lean Into a Neutral Gray-Green Color

Similarly, consider a gray-green sage color that feels more like a neutral, as pictured in this design by Anastasia Casey of The Interior Collective. It's a subdued hue that doesn't overwhelm the space but still has enough of a colorful spark to create some intrigue and dimension.

Bold design is often reserved for the primary bedroom, but incorporating a gorgeous color like green into the guest room can make this space feel intentional and welcoming. You can use green in a kids' bedroom for a more grown-up feel that's still playful.

Pair with Light Wood Tones
