Green Living Room: 15 Interior Design Ideas
The use of the color green in decorating homes has become a popular trend. In fact, green has been labeled as the environmentally aware home decorating term of the decade or maybe the century. Nature automatically introduces you to interior design that is centered on the color green. Green intensifies your ability to relate with the outside world–the trees, grass, mountains, and foliage. For most people, green is the perfect model to use as a decorating scheme because it is natural and relaxing.
Here are a few tips on how to decorate your homes successfully using green as the central color.
- To create a festive and amicable feel in your home interior decorating, try using intense and brilliant shades of green. The use of bright green colors were especially popular during the 1950s and 1960s when the use of bright colors in home spaces were first introduced. Modern interior design trends, however, are now focused more on the use of subtle and subdued shades of green.
- Try combining greens with other colors such as turquoise or soft blue. These color combinations help you concentrate such as when you are studying. Greens combined with a slight yellow tint, on the other hand, bring out the feelings of an island or a tropical area and other feelings associated with the outside world indoors.
- Dark green tones like hunter green, moss, or olive give a warm and country feel to your living room. These shades of green look especially pleasant with lots of warm wood tones and wooden pieces of furniture. The natural green shades provide a soft contrast with browns and other earthy color schemes.
To illustrate what we are discussing here, we decided to come up with some images that portray harmonious and successful use of Greens in decorating living room areas.

Green isn’t a popular colour to decorate your living room in – but this scheme looks great. Shades of green are continued in the blinds, cushions and chairs, where as a white sofa and skirting add definition.

Green Living Room 12- Which shade of green to choose? Look for warm greens (those with lots of yellow in them) for best effect, as here. Cooler, minty shades should only be used in very sunny spaces.
Green Living Room 13- It’s not just a matter of buying a piece of furniture in your key colour – you need to tie it to the rest of the room with subtle hints – in lampshades, in fabrics and in accessories.
