Green Decorating Ideas to Soothe & Energize Your Home
From quick decor swaps to stunning wall colors.
The color green can bring a space down to earth, add playful energy, and serve as the perfect color for a room refresh. Decor is the perfect way to introduce and experiment with shades of green in your home. Without further ado, here are 14 green decorating ideas to infuse your space with green hues!
1. Accent With Green Throw Pillows
This green decorating idea is all about cozying-up your bed or sofa with green throw pillows! Add elegance and dramatic flair with emerald or olive green pillows. Use spring green or chartreuse pillows for a vibrant color pop. Relax and soothe with throw pillows in sage or pastel green shades.
Introduce glass or ceramic vases that are painted or stained green for another green home decor idea. Display a collection of green vases in different abstract forms on a console table or accent shelf, or allow one green statement vase to take center stage on your dining table.
One of the best ways to achieve a green room aesthetic is with an eye-catching accent wall. For this idea, choose a green wallpaper style and pattern you love and decide on placement. We recommend peel-and-stick wallpaper for rented spaces because you can easily remove it when your lease is up. Wallpaper is also a great way to add shades of green to your space without taking up valuable floor or tabletop space.

4. Introduce Green Pouf Ottomans
Add pops of green and functional seating to your space with this green decorating idea. Tuck green pouf ottomans beneath your entryway console table, at the end of your bed, or in your living room to serve as extra seating in a pinch. Extra points if you incorporate green ottomans with hidden storage!
Use plants with lush green foliage to infuse your home with shades of green – and justify your houseplant obsession! If you don't have a green thumb, don't worry. Faux plants work just as well and don't require any upkeep.
Pile on the throw blankets with this cozy green decor idea. Introduce plush green throws with faux fur or velvety fabric for a luxe look and feel, or infuse your space with comforting texture by choosing green blankets with chunky knit details or embroidered designs.
For this green decorating idea, create a tablescape using green table runners or placemats, dinnerware sets, and stunning glassware. Add the final touches with green candle holders and green cloth napkins.
Give your walls an upgrade with stunning wall art depicting nature scenes or plantlife. This is a great idea for any room in your home where you want to instill a sense of calm. Opt for a large-scale print or wall art set to define your walls with green hues.
Tip!
For a more modern look, consider green abstract wall art.
Upgrade your space with a green-upholstered accent chair! Opt for silky smooth velvet upholstery to really make green tones pop. Elevate the look in terms of comfort and style with a matching footstool.
Install green wainscoting to add comforting texture to your walls. This rustic farmhouse breakfast nook features pastel green wainscoting and wall moldings for subtle color. However, you can choose whatever shade fulfills your green interior design aesthetic.
Add depth and interest to your space with this green wall idea. Opt for dark sage, emerald, forest, or hunter green wallpaper or paint to achieve an aesthetic that's equally earthy and dramatic.
Accessorize your floors with stylish green area rugs. Choose the style, pattern, and shade of green you love, and consider color pairings that connect to your room's existing color scheme. Get inspiration by reviewing What Colors Go With Green?
Achieve style and function with green light fixtures! Decorate with a green table lamp, wall sconce, or statement chandelier – anywhere you need accent lighting and pops of green decor. You can also swap out your current lampshades for green lampshades.
Style the walls in your entryway, bathroom, or bedroom with a green-framed wall mirror. This type of green wall decor reflects natural light, provides a getting ready spot, and adds green tones to your walls, making it a must-have!
