Best Green Bedroom Design Ideas

Transforming your bedroom into a soothing sanctuary doesn’t have to be tricky — just go green! The colour green has a remarkable ability to bring a sense of calm, balance, and a hint of nature into your home.  

Whether you’re trying to create an earthy feel or something a bit more modern, there’s a green bedroom idea out there for everyone. Let’s dive into the best ways to incorporate this versatile hue into your boudoir. 

Choose the perfect green palette 

First things first, which shade of green do you have in mind? Sage, olive, emerald, forest — each hue creates a different energy in your bedroom. Sage green is great for a relaxed, contemporary feel, while deep forest green adds a touch of drama.  

Fancy something bolder? Emerald green screams luxury. Keep the shade soft for smaller rooms and go bolder if you’ve got the space to make a statement. 

Green walls: paint or wallpaper? 

The easiest way to bring green into your bedroom is by pasting it onto the walls. For a clean and modern look, stick to paint — try a calming sage or a muted olive. But if you’re craving texture or pattern, wallpaper is where it’s at. Tropical leaf designs, abstract prints, or even a moody, Victorian-inspired botanical pattern can completely transform your space. 

If you’re nervous about going all in, try a feature wall. Behind the bed is always a winner for creating a focal point. 

Green bedding can make a world of difference 

Don’t underestimate the power of bedding to change a room. A sage green duvet cover with crisp white sheets is a classic combo, while deep green velvet throws can add a splash of luxury. You could even layer different shades of green for a tonal look—think mint pillows mixed with hunter green blankets. 

Pro tip: Textured fabrics like linen or quilted cotton add extra depth to the colour, making your bed look ultra-inviting. 

Play with plants 

No green bedroom is complete without a bit of greenery. Real plants like monstera, snake plants, or hanging devil’s ivy not only look great but also help purify the air. 

Not a plant parent? No judgement — faux plants are really convincing these days, you’ll hardly notice the difference. 

If you’re low on space, hang plants from the ceiling or pop them on wall-mounted shelves. It’s an easy way to make the room feel alive (without turning it into a jungle). 

Go green with furniture 

Your furniture doesn’t have to be boring! A green velvet headboard, painted bedside tables, or a statement storage bed in emerald green can elevate your bedroom’s design game. Pair these with natural wood tones for a relaxed, Scandi-chic look or go full glam with gold accents. 

Feeling crafty? Upcycle an old piece of furniture with a lick of green paint. It’s budget-friendly and adds a personal touch. 

Layer in accessories 

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Cushions, rugs, lampshades, or even picture frames in shades of green can tie your bedroom together beautifully. 

For a more organic feel to your bedroom, choose accessories in natural materials such as jute, rattan, or terracotta. All of these materials pair brilliantly with green tones.  

And if it’s a more glitzy, glamorous look you’re going for, metallics like brass and gold are perfect when paired with darker green shades. 

Light it right 

Lighting can make or break your green bedroom. Soft, warm lighting will enhance the calming qualities of the colour, especially in the evening. Wall sconces or fairy lights can help by adding a cosy glow. And statement pendants or a funky green lamp can help to bring a bit of contrast to your bedroom. 

Natural light is your best friend, so don’t block it out with heavy curtains. Choose sheer curtains or light-filtering blinds to let that sunshine in. 

Don’t forget the floor 

Your floor is often overlooked in bedroom design, but it’s a great opportunity to reinforce your green theme. A patterned rug with green accents can ground the space and add warmth to wooden or tiled floors. 

For a bolder move, consider painting your floorboards in a pale sage or olive green. It’s unconventional, but the payoff can be stunning.
