Minty Fresh Upgrade

This fresh color makes an impressive farmhouse even more compelling. In this living room by Thomas Jayne and William Cullum, where the paint stretches all the way up to the high rafters, the hue changes depending on the way the light hits it, shifting between sharp mint green and soft seafoam green.

Dedicated to the Green

This living room designed by Melanie Turner makes a strong case for monochromatic decorating. If you love green, why not go all out and cover the walls as well as your seating in it? Even better if they're the same tone—this way, you'll really feel like you're standing in a world of green. Turner used Calke Green by Farrow & Ball here.

All In the Cushions

Zesty lime green bolsters, printed throw pillows, and a softer sage upholstered cushion for the built-in bench make this nook both cozy and bright. This David Mann–designed living room proves that there's serious payoff in giving some T.L.C. to every nook and cranny.

Just a Touch

It was a challenge marrying the two styles of his clients, designer Corey Damen Jenkins explains. “The wife loved jewel tones and embellishment, while the husband was on the total opposite end of the spectrum—no color, no wallpaper," Jenkins tells us. So the living room walls were painted in Garlic Clove by PPG, "which has enough warmth to counterbalance the bright white of the often snowy landscape," while a fun velvet sofa gives a splash of vibrant green personality.

High-Shine and High-Contrast

"To reduce that long tunnel effect, you have to dematerialize the walls," says designer Maureen Footer of hallways and narrow spaces. If your living room is longer than it is wide, this is the idea to try. She suggests lacquering them to reflect light and get that shimmery glow. These high-gloss green walls in a hallway designed by Christina Murphy are such a fun surprise.

Changing With the Light

Designer Jae Joo opted for a soft palette in this 1885 Boston living room. The light pink armchair adds youthful buoyancy to the dark wood pieces while also bringing out warmer tones in the versatile neutral backdrop. In some lighting, it appears light gray-green and in others, a more beige hue, perfectly reflecting the wallpaper on the opposite wall.

Matching Colors

Match your paint color to your wallpaper for a cohesive look that still brings in some textural intrigue. In this green living room by Gideon Mendelson, the artwork brightens up the entire space and speaks to the rest of the colors, finishes, and materials throughout. He used Farrow & Ball's Olive paint.

Tropical Dreams

This NYC apartment feels more like a tropical oasis than a city home. That's thanks to the energizing colors and materials interior designer Aldous Bertram incorporated, particularly the lime green stripes on the ceiling and faux molding on the walls.

A Surprising Shade

For the living room of a traditional New York apartment, designer Todd Klein chose a light, cool green. "If you think of a house as having seasons, the living room is spring," Klein says. Graphic black-and-white fabrics from China Seas—Macoco Reverse on the sofa and Potalla Background on the pillow—"add a touch of youthfulness and whimsy," Klein says. Walls are Vreeland Mint and trim is White, both in Brilliant, by Fine Paints of Europe.

Accents Take the Spotlight

An abstract painting anchors this living room designed by Andrew Flescher, accentuating the green and white bench and jade table lamps. But this room also proves that you can have more than one statement color without being visually chaotic. The houndstooth carpet brings graphic intrigue, while the periwinkle chair encourages romance.

An Accent Wall

Shari Francis created separate zones and extra privacy in a railroad apartment without blocking light thanks to frosted glass sliding barn doors. Then she used a deep marine tone for a statement wall that speaks to both the inky black and warm leather pieces.

Wild Patterns

Designer Sam Allen went in a bold direction in his Connecticut apartment—starting with the pea-green walls. "I love green and purple together," he says. "It's very Palm Beach."

Soft and Neutral

In the family room of a Palm Beach house, designer Allison Paladino painted the walls Benjamin Moore's Lewiville Green—the color of "a very ripe avocado," according to the designer. Club chairs from Lee Industries are covered in Summer Hill's Rio. Bamboo desk and stool from Randall Tysinger Antiques. Painting from T. Botero Galleries.

Super Light and Crisp

Designer Fawn Galli used custom green paint in a New York living room to bring in a touch of nature. Instead of going for a leaf green, Fawn used a soft mint. "I don't think a color should be too saturated or strong on a wall," she says.

Spring Green

For Jane Scott Hodges, owner of Leontine Linens, a 19th-century home became a showcase of her unique personal style. The 1869 Greek Revival home was decorated by Gwen Driscoll and features a mix of antiques, modern furniture, and plenty of color.

Brown and Green

Green in the interior of the living room

When choosing a living room in green, it is important to consider the following recommendations:

Light and calm shades of green help to create a warm and calm atmosphere in the living room. Neutral color, has a beneficial effect on the mental state of a person. Promotes complete relaxation after hard everyday life;

To create a luxurious atmosphere, it is recommended to focus on darker and more saturated colors. Using an emerald hue, you can create a unique and sophisticated design that will not leave anyone indifferent;

Noble Olive, helps to create a neutral environment between human comfort and luxurious interiors. Olive green is considered a warm enough color to help create an elegant cozy atmosphere;

A dark shade of green is recommended for use in rooms with a spacious layout, then the interior will not seem too heavy.

Various color schemes in the design of the green living room help to make the room visually larger and more spacious. In this case, one part of the room can have a fairly saturated color, while the other is more neutral.

Apply bright colors with bright pigment very carefully. Living room in shades of green requires balance.

To dilute the atmosphere of coolness in the room, many designers use a combination of colors and warm shades. For example, a duet of green and yellow looks great.

The main background inside is green. Yellow color is present in the form of textiles and decor items. It is not recommended to use a rich gamma in the receiving area.

A room decorated in soft colors helps to create a cozy atmosphere.

For small rooms, the option of combining the kitchen area and the living room is suitable. It is important to take into account the availability of necessary household items and comfort in the guest area.

Green kitchen-living room can combine rich colors of furniture and neutral shades of textile design.

Green color in the modern interior of the living room from the point of view of practical people

Do you consider yourself a practical person? No time to take care of light furniture and constantly clean, but do not mind having a bright living room? You are not alone in your desires! Designers have found the perfect solution for you - this is a combination of green with a rich chocolate hue that does not leave stains. The duet is incredibly effective and, one might say, universal, because it suits many stylistic trends.

Wall decoration

When painting the walls, it is not necessary to paint them completely green, as this is not appropriate in apartments with small windows. In this case, it is better to use light or pastel shades. They reflect sunlight well, creating an effect of volume and depth in the room.

Only one wall can be covered with green or photo wallpapers with a similar pattern.

But if the living room is painted green, then white, burgundy, gray or dark yellow should be used in furniture and accessories.

It is worth abandoning furniture made in green tones.

Hue and saturation

The choice of hue and saturation will largely depend on the size of the room and its lighting, and to a lesser extent on the overall style of the apartment.

For large, well-lit living rooms, feel free to experiment with darker shades of green. For the smallest, it is better to use dark shades as accents.

For both small and large rooms, we recommend using bright, saturated shades of green only in certain decor items, furniture and textiles.

We must not forget about the functionality of the premises. Skillfully varying the color, you can create an aesthetic design, and at the same time comfortable and practical. This is facilitated by an interesting feature of green: it goes well with almost all colors.

Depending on the chosen accompanying color, the green room acquires lightness (with white or cream), solidity (with dark brown) or energy and efficiency (with black).

Green's win-win partner is pure white. The living room with the dining room looks great with a combination of white and its shades with dark green, emerald and malachite colors.

Rules for the use of green in the interior of the living room

Mastering the decoration of the living room with your own hands is easy. The main thing is to learn a few simple and at the same time ingenious tips:

  1. Remember that green belongs to the family of cool tones. If you want a room to feel warm and homely, use warm colors and tones together. For example, it can be a duet of green and yellow. This is a classic combination of natural freshness and sunshine.
  2. With the right use of green in the interior of the living room, the room will help to find peace and tranquility. After relaxing in your room, you will feel more confident and protected.
  3. Active and eccentric people should avoid moderate green in the design of the living room. Such people should resort to the help of bright green shades that contribute to the awakening of energy.
  4. Green interior has a positive effect on health. In such a room, each person will find psychological balance and completely relax, putting his thoughts in order.
  5. Choose the right shade of green for your living room style. For a classic interior, choose rich colors, modern people love pastel shades of green, and high-tech prefers mixing different shades, but without sharp transitions.

Remember one important rule: green visually expands the space of the living room, so it is typical to use it in small rooms.

Textile - curtains, blankets, pillows

Already having a clear idea about the design of the room and furniture, the dominant color and complementary colors, you can choose textiles.

Curtains should stand out against the background of the walls. In a small living room, let it be translucent curtains of light shades without decorations. A large space will be decorated with heavy velvet or velvet curtains.

Curtains for the living room in shades of green are selected taking into account the following factors:

The color of the curtains can match the color of the trim or contrast with it (if the presence of green is too intrusive). Therefore, it is not at all necessary that the curtains or tulle be green. On the contrary, they can perfectly dilute any shade of a green interior if they differ in color. For example, yellow, orange, beige or pink curtains.

Typically, curtains, blankets, bedspreads and pillows in the interior are used as a kind of accent, so the textile elements should stand out against the background of the walls and be brighter. This is easier to do if the walls are calm, muted tones, and more difficult if the background itself is bright. In this case, you can try to play on contrasts. For example, snow-white pillows or curtains will contrast sharply with light green walls.

Original green living rooms

Various little things made in this shade will help to make a stylish green living room interior. It is not necessary to decorate the walls and ceiling with bright colors. The design may include textiles, as well as green floors.

Wall surfaces can be: white, beige, light yellow. The interior of the green living room photo will introduce you to the many options for using green on the walls of the living room.

Experienced designers will be able to create an incredibly cozy interior of a country living room in your home. To do this, you do not need to have a huge area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe premises for receiving guests and loved ones.

With the help of a color scheme, even the smallest room will turn into a spacious room.

The main thing in this matter is to correctly balance the color saturation and the presence of decorative elements. In the photo of the green living room, you will notice a competent combination of all the subtleties of modern design.

Airy innovation in the interior of the living room in green tones

Choosing a palette

If you consider the shortcomings of the green palette to be a mere nothingness, and have firmly decided to decorate the living room in such colors, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the influence of different shades of the gamut on the human subconscious, as a result of which it will be much easier for you to choose and predict everything that will arise in advance, the nuances of the process design. To create a calm atmosphere, psychologists recommend using shades of herbs in the design.

Emerald and mint will be the perfect solution as a stimulating factor.

A room with hints of olive or sage will radiate warmth.

Dark green is considered a sign of respectability.

Apple and pistachio tones simultaneously combine notes of relaxation and freshness.

For small rooms, the ideal solution would be to visually expand the space in light green tones.

And at the same time, sober, rich and intense shades, such as needle, dark turquoise or emerald, will be the ideal solution for creating interiors in large living rooms.

Harmony with other colors

As we have already said, in order to create complete harmony, the main green color in the design of the living room should certainly be supplemented and diluted with other colors, and the most acceptable variations in this case are classic white, gray, yellow, blue, beige or brown. At the same time, accompanying shades can be used in all its manifestations.

The combination of green and white will perfectly fit into modern interiors with metallic or shiny surfaces, or will be a great idea for decorating a room in retro-vintage style. The main rule is to play in semitones, then the living room will be filled with air and “breathe”.

In the example of green and yellow, the use of a paler complementary tint is recommended. Moderation and moderation in this case is the key to success.

Blue and green can be called an equally attractive and thoughtful combination. Light blue or minimal use of intense and deep blue in such a situation is the most relevant option.

In the combination of green and gray in most proposals, green is combined with light gray tones that balance the brightness of the main color, due to which the gray-green tandem looks original, noble and restrained.

Interior decoration in beige and green colors can rightfully be called the limit of peace. Beige does not look as categorical as white, and complements the range of greenery with notes of warmth. Thus, the general energy of such a living room will look quite calm, but without the effect of "falling asleep".

As for the company of brown and green, this combination speaks for itself. This idea is sure to appeal to lovers of eco-trends and provides many opportunities for experimentation. At the same time, designers advise using bright and contrasting accents in any example, as well as combining shades until you find the perfect solution that meets your needs.

Lucky color combinations

If you choose green as the main background, you need to figure out which palettes to take as an accent and an additional range.

White-green

Perfect for the formation of modern design, where there are metal surfaces, modular furniture. Greens and snow-white color look good in vintage retro directions. This combination will visually expand the room, fill it with air.

In this variation, it is better to abandon the sharp contrast, playing in semitones.




Yellow-green

These colors have a close palette, so they look great in pairs. They are widely represented in the living landscape. Here only moderation and restraint are needed, since in excess both shades can create a spectacular image. An excess of yellow is especially detrimental to the composition. It is better to choose more faded shades, using yellow as an accent.

In small rooms it is not recommended to use too saturated shades of both scales.




Blue-green

Another close duo on the palette, but you have to be careful with it. Too much blue in a saturated hue can cause a feeling of tightness. In this case, light and light shades of blue are optimal, blue in a small amount.




Grey-green

Refined, original, modern and noble tandem. Gray is able to balance greenery, give it conciseness, restraint. This is a calm combination where only dark tones should be avoided.




Beige green

Another relaxing effect, perfect for decorating the living room. Beige is not as categorical as white, it is warmer, calmer and perfectly balances the composition. Light green and all shades of beige look good together. The energy of this living room will be calm, warm, but joyful. Looks luxurious in classic and rustic interiors. Shades of grass, olive and lime look as respectable as possible in a company with beige.




Brown-green

Everything is naturally organic here, these are the colors of a summer tree, therefore it is very suitable for all ecological directions. There are many opportunities for experiments, in any case, the interior of such a variation will always be relevant and not banal. Spots of red or orange will complement the composition well, but only in minimal quantities and, if desired, make it more active.




But it is not recommended to combine orange, red and green in equal proportions. Quite controversial is the combination of black and green. Neutral black, in principle, is not contraindicated, but it can give the room a sad mood. This is not the best option for the living room.

Designers advise mixing in any variations until you find the perfect color combination.
