Whether you've moved into a new home with green walls or green is your favorite color and you want to feature it in your favorite room of the house, we're here to share sole design ideas for decor that goes with green walls.
Green is a color that can work in any room. It looks great in rooms with large windows that let a lot of sunlight in because it can be seen as an extension of the outdoors. But due to green's jungle vibes, it also looks great in a bathroom if you want to create your own rainforest retreat.
Green is reminiscent of nature and creates a sense of adventure in any room that it is used in. It is an unexpected color, but one that is becoming more popular in modern design trends because of its versatility. There are so many different shades of green, meaning that there are endless possibilities for decor to pair with it.
If you need inspiration for green wall decor ideas, here are 11 of our favorite designs complete with pictures and suggestions to help you achieve these looks in your own home.
1. Blank Walls and Pops of Color
Since green is such an artistic color, let the walls themselves be the artwork. Keep them blank and add pops of color here and there, like orange or coral, instead. Orange keeps the green walls from overpowering the room. However, since orange is a contrasting color to green, you should only use it only in small doses.
The coral color of this blanket makes a great accent color for green walls. The woven texture and fringe helps create visual interest.

4. Glimmers of Gold
Gold and green is a classic pairing. The gold in the artwork pairs well with the gold ceiling light and helps the artwork stand out from the green wall. The light reflected in the gold keeps the wall from looking too flat. Choose furniture in neutral tones, like this beige sofa.

Since green is a color often associated with nature and the outdoors, pair it with another outdoorsy color as well, such as yellow. This sofa adds sunshine to a room and looks great against a cool green accent wall, next to a large window that lets the real thing in. If that much yellow seems like too much for your taste, try a neutral sofa with a yellow chair or yellow accents instead.

Green walls can seem like a bit much for some people, especially when paired with green furniture. But when a room has minimal furniture and decor like this one, it can actually work really well. The furniture and accents that are in the room are kept to a neutral palette, which keeps the green from being too overpowering.

What better way to play on a natural color like green with natural decor like plants?

If you don't have a green thumb, you can always decorate with fake plants instead.
