Decorating Living Room With Sage Green And Light Bllue

Gorgeous green decorating ideas for every room

Elevate your home with this on-trend shade

Soothing and stylish, tonal greens are taking over our homes and we couldn't be happier. Whether you fancy upgrading your kitchen to stylish forest green cabinetry or adding a sage green feature wall into your bathroom, we've rounded up the most beautiful ways to introduce gorgeous green décor into every room of your home.

Invest in a velvet sofa

This year, it's all about the velvet sofa, especially in this sumptuous shade of forest green. Whether your style is classic or contemporary, it's a sure-fire way to add elegance and charm to your living space. This corner design offers the perfect spot to kick back and relax, while Crittall-style doors and contrasting pops of pink add to this Instagrammable look!

Wow with wall-to-wall green

For the ultimate showstopping scheme, say sayonara to accent colours and go all out with one opulent shade of green. This warming dark jade hue has been used across the walls, door and side table for a look that's decadent and dramatic. Gold detailing and white flowers offer contrasting pops of colour without detracting from the bold backdrop.

Create a soothing spa bathroom

Rich green is the perfect backdrop for a sumptuous spa-style bathroom. Add a sense of contemporary calm to the elegance with a curvaceous freestanding bath. Hints of gold warm the scheme, while blush pink towels offer a refreshing contrast against the dark luxurious panelling. This scheme ticks all the style boxes.

Add green in the home office

Working from home or hybrid working? Make your home office an appealing place to be with soothing green tones. Here space has been carved out in this kitchen to accommodate an office area. Clever!

Upgrade your woodwork

Go maximalist and make a feature of an interior door with an injection of mint green. Thankfully, gone are the days of white gloss woodwork, so have fun with colour and elevate skirting boards and doors with a slick of paint, that won't yellow. Pair with a teal velvet sofa and a bold wallpaper for the ultimate in living room style.

Elevate your window dressings

More of a minimalist? Look to your window treatments. Elevate an all-white bedroom scheme with fresh green full-length curtains to add a boutique hotel feel. Add statement art to up the glam factor.

Go boho in the hallway

An eau de Nil feature wall in the hallway will work wonders to hide scuffmarks and add a subtle hint of colour. Add woven storage bags to keep belongings out of sight and dress up a handy console table with dried grasses and artwork.

Channel classic period charm

This dark hunter green is effortlessly regal and majestic – even more so when the walls are colour matched to the cabinetry. Ideal for a period property, this time-honoured hue is a great way to refresh a tired kitchen whilst paying homage to a home's historic charm.

Add viper green

Taking its name from the brightly-hued snake, this rich and exotic shade is having a moment in the most stylish homes. Use it as a bold feature in a monochrome bathroom to add instant va-va-voom, or paint a whole room in it to add instant personality.

Evoke rustic charm

Utility rooms are all too often neglected when it comes to decorating, however, a bright splash of colour can keep spirits high when chores are looming. Cleaning products in white enamel tins add a vintage finish that stands out against the block green wall. Exposed wood cabinetry completes the rustic look.

Shake up a monochrome scheme

Elevate a monochrome bedroom with a smart bottle green headboard that looks strong and striking. Then layer up the bed with crisp white bed linen, green matching cushions and contrasting layers of slate grey.

Makeover a kitchen with mint green

Prefer your greens light and refreshing? Look no further than mint. An ideal hue for traditional and modern schemes alike, this sleek contemporary kitchen feels bright and calming with mint green units edged in copper. White marble-effect wall tiles and flooring complete the chic streamlined aesthetic.

Grow a living wall

What better way to add green to your home than with a 3D wall of foliage? Thanks to these vertical, self-watering planters, a living wall is simple to achieve and big on impact. Incorporate this flourishing feature into a cohesive indoor-outdoor scheme by adding rattan and seagrass furnishings for a space that's thoroughly au naturel.

Wake up to spring motifs

Make your bedroom bright and airy all year round with pretty botanical bed linen and fresh green tones. Here, an exposed brick wall creates an enchanting country garden-inspired scheme that's enhanced by a row of leafy plants on the window ledge.

Add decadence to a dining table

Upgrade your dining room, and breathe new life into an old dining table by simply swapping out your old worn chairs for a luxurious set with emerald velvet upholstery. Combined with rustic wood and vintage-style glass pendants lights, the effect is chic and stylish. Framed by white walls and leafy plants, it's the perfect botanical-inspired space for entertaining.

Take it two-tone

Can't settle on your favourite shade? No sweat. This two-tone green hallway offers a vibrant hit of colour when you step through the door. Contrast is key here – pale apple is the perfect counterpoint to this deep hunter green, while square panelling adds architectural interest for real wow-factor.

Evoke the Med with olive tones

A study by Oxford University and Valspar found that painting a room olive green made it feel at least two degrees warmer. And where better to create cosiness than the bedroom? Paint a feature wall in this sumptuous shade and continue the warmth with oak furniture. Pair with sleek black accessories to smarten up the look.

Add charm with whimsical wallpaper

If block colour isn't your thing, a nature-inspired wallpaper print can work wonders in your home. Delicate and romantic, this green and yellow botanical design is perfect for a whimsical country-style interior – simply pair with a bold accent shade like this royal blue and you'll have a beautifully balanced scheme that's bursting with charm.

Play with palm prints

Bring tropical jungle vibes closer to home by introducing palm prints to your bedroom. Here, lush greenery trails across the bed linen, offset by a pretty blush pink tone. The colour combination is chic and sophisticated, creating a mellow vibe against the rustic rough-hewn wood.

Soothe with a sage kitchen

Keep a country kitchen classic with a delicate colour combination of sage and cream. The pale shaker cabinets and neutral walls are subtle yet warming, making the heart of the home an inviting and welcoming space that'll stand the test of time.

Create a jungle oasis

If you love a good dose of drama in your décor, why not turn the jungle trend up a notch with a tropical dark green bedroom scheme? Funky animal print bedding pops against a rich green backdrop, while a shelf of tropical plants completes this leafy oasis. Opt for lighter faux plants to lighten the load above the bed.

Get creative with colonial décor

If you're a fan of traditional décor but fancy mixing up your palette, why not turn up the colour wheel? Transform your bedroom into a vibrant island retreat with bold green and blue wallpaper, heavy palm prints and a colonial-inspired rattan frame bed. The finish is playful yet still charming and refined.

Go to town on tiling

Team a contemporary white bath with vintage olive wall tiles for a refreshingly modern twist. Don't be afraid to mix up the patterns too – this glossy faux-distressed glaze looks super chic in a half-wall herringbone design. Pair with a rustic wooden sink unit to tie the scheme together.

Make it maximalist

If you're a fan of big bold colours and textures, embrace a more-is-more scheme with a vibrant green palette and an array of tactile furnishings. Here, a blue-green velvet sofa is paired with botanical-print cushions, while an abstract painting is offset by busy green textured wallpaper. Playing within the same tonal family keeps the scheme from feeling cluttered and disorderly.

Bring the great outdoors inside

Transform the look and feel of a lacklustre living room by using warming greens to draw the natural world indoors. Pick out a statement velvet green chair and pair with verdant cascading houseplants to intensify the tone and create your own organic oasis.

Create a dark and moody boudoir

For a rich and decadent bedroom scheme that doesn't feel dingy, combine deep tonal greens. In this luxurious space, emerald and khaki sit harmoniously, while palm-print cushions and a scattering of foliage and green artwork elevate the dark palette.

Turn down the tone

Green doesn't have to be bold and brash to create a beautiful scheme. The sofa's muted shade of sage is calming and classic, while a slightly bright tone across the walls adds a refreshing lift to this living room. A parquet-style rug in the same hues ties the décor together, while touches of gold and marble add opulence.

Blur the boundaries

Bringing the outside in is a popular trend, and this beautiful green allotment print does exactly that. The versatile design will look stunning in a space where you want to blur interior or exterior boundaries; an outdoor office, utility, sunny conservatory or even a hallway.

Elevate the conservatory

Classic indoor-outdoor living spaces, conservatories naturally lend themselves well to green decorating schemes. A wall of plants and botanical-print cushions blurs the boundary between the garden outside. Take it further by painting your doors and windows in a blue-green shade.

Take terrazzo to the next level

Terrazzo isn't leaving our homes anytime soon. For a bold focal point with an injection of colour, you can't go wrong with this stunning dining table in speckled emerald. Pair with earthy terracotta tableware to create a warming contrast that's sure to impress at dinner parties.

Play with paint effects

Shake up a block colour wall by adding a graphic paint effect in tonal shades of green. This hallway is anything but dull, with an angular piece of wall art encompassing the front door and entrance corridor. A crisp white background makes the green pop, while a darker shade runs along the bottom of the wall to help conceal scuff marks.

Take a leaf out of nature's lookbook

Look to the outdoors for fail-safe colour combinations that will complement a green palette – Mother Nature never builds a bad scheme. Natural wood furniture and a stormy grey carpet ground this dark green living room, while pale stone upholstery lifts the scheme and adds a refreshing edge.

Cook up a storm in forest green

Dark and dramatic kitchen schemes are a strong colour trend right now and deep rich hues of green are a refreshing alternative to blues, greys and even black. Here, forest tones look refined and striking, teamed with grey worktops, splashbacks and industrial-style lighting.
