  • You may have missed the most important quality that green brings forth, which is the quality of Love. The heart chakra is cast in green. Kudos to you for a really informative and inspiring article! Our living room is monochromatic shades of green/grey that we designed around over a year ago, and not only do my husband and I love it but visitors say they love it as well. Thank you for a great article.

  • Before we married, I asked him why green was his favorite color. His immediate response was, “It must be God’s favorite color, too, because the world is so full of it.” So I did our big master bedroom in Sherwin-Williams’ color called Great Green, with baseboards and crown moldings done with a pure white softened with a tiny bit of green. The result is beautiful and restful and comforting, and hey, now it’s even a big-time trendy color! Major win-win!

  • Luving your color review. Looking forward to more. Another challenging color I’m interested in is eggplant, deep purple. I once saw a bedroom with aubergine walls and delicate, transparent apricot sheers on the window. Ages ago so I can’t quite remember it all, but I never thought of it as an interior design scheme I’d ever choose – but it was stunning. Cozy, elegant, dark, yet warm and cheery too.

  • Hi Julie. Loving this colour series! We redecorated our family room with sage green accents against a neutral wall. It really brings the outside in and is a calm colour. We have finally found some armchairs we like which are an olive green with contrast cream stitching. Can’t wait to take delivery of these. Greetings from the UK ❤

  • Hahaha! This is so timely!! I just went yesterday and spent so much time looking at paint colors, i tired myself out!!. 😂🤣 I’m looking for a green blue that looks like it could be blue….or it could be green…depending on the light or time of day. So far, I took samples of BERH Waterfall, Moon Glass, and Rain Dance. I also took samples of PPG Glassine, Blue Pearl. I’m thinking this could be for the kitchen island, on which I plan to use a marine or auto finish so it will that glassy look. Btw, for the island top, I plan to use two materials butchers block and stainless steel. Looking for paint colors is EXHAUSTING! To be continued. Thanks for doing this article!

  • Hi, Julie. This may seem a bit weird to add, but sometimes getting another opinion on the green(s) you are choosing may be helpful. My brothers and sister have color-blindness, which affects how they see some colors, especially the greens. It is something we joked about any time my sister was decorating. That is until I developed cataracts. I never knew that ones colors can be distorted until arguing with my husband about the tv remote’s color. Was it bright green or aqua? He won. It has been trippy, especially having only my right eye done-I close my left when wanting to see the real color. (Don’t get me started on how my dining room is not the perfect color I thought it was . Lol-ish.)

  • Thank you thank you. You have validated my bedroom decor. All walls are dark olive green and after your advice on another article, i painted the ceiling a light moss green, instead of white. There’s an impactful accent wall with green background and flowers with bold and subtle colours (yellow, white, faded pink).

  • I’ve recently moved in with my Brother. The house was built 100 years ago, is a fixer upper, and has two small bedrooms and one large Master bedroom. I’ve moved into one of the small rooms — a 10′ X 9′ with a very small closet and bright Lemmon Yellow walls that have various sized holes and patches of peeling paint!!! At least it has lovely dark hardwood floors and doors. Most of my bedroom furniture (that is still in storage) is dark brown much like the floor in the bedroom. The bedroom at 3:52 is the vibe I’m going for, the Forest Wallpaper at 4:23 is quite intriguing, an I have been thinking of wooden planks/boards on the ceiling like in the rooms at 3:52, 9:14, and 10:30. Thank you so much for this article! You’ve helped me coalesce the various designs I have bouncing around in my head. Now, off to the home improvement stores to grab the essential materials to fix this ghetto-azz bedroom!

  • This couldn’t have come at better time Julie. My flat is currently full of green paint samples. I’m not sure which green would work with a charcoal grey fabric sectional. Or if it wouldn’t work at all. My current favourites are Farrow & Ball French grey. Or if I am not brave enough Elephants Breath. If you have time to give your opinion that would be amazing. ❤

  • I’m just so impressed with your knowledge and design style. I’ve been on the fence in my master bdrm. I have light beige walls, expresso dresser etc. I want to change out my blush colored comforter to a green duvet or quilt but I don’t know whether to use light greens or dark. I’m in an apartment and don’t think I can change wall color. Any suggestions?

  • I love love green. Everywhere in my home, except in my bedroom which is dark Bordeaux red, linen, and pink. Emerald cabinets and curtains with dark wood in the kitchen. And dark green velvet armchair in the lounge with one yellow banana sofa and another sofa which is dusty pink. 🤔 Is it too much color ? Thank you Julie 🙏 I learn a lot from you.

  • I like the rooms you have shown with the light greens. It’s taken me years to like green as a decorator colour for 2 reasons – 1) When i was growing up we lived in public housing that was painted in a colour that became cemented in my brain as ‘housing commission green’ and 2) I was a young adult in the 70’s when everything was burnt orange and avocado green. Thankfully I have come to appreciate some modern greens! In fact, I have just put a cosy reading chair in my library that is a soft sagey blue/green and it is really pretty.

  • Hi Julie – I have a question on tile size. We are planning to renovate a very small bathroom (5′ x 9′). It’s in a 1925 condo, tub to the right to be replaced with a shower, sink and toilet to the left. I am in love with the Angela Harris Flatiron Aquamarine tiles. There is a 2″x2″ that would be used for the shower floor. There is also a 12″ x 24″ that I could use for the rest of the floor (less grout lines.) Would it look better to use the 2″x 2″ throughout? Walls in larger format glossy white ceramic, Oak vanity and medicine cabinet. Would love your input. Thanks!

  • Hi Julie! I like this article because I really like green. I use it as a neutral in my home because it goes with so much of my upholstery and custom curtains and wood tones. I have a reddish wood floor throughout the house. I think the green sets off the red orange tones really well. When I re decorated my dining room, I have a chair rail under which I put a burgundy red paint to hide the prune splatters from my children’s meals. It worked! But they don’t splatter prunes on my walls as they are in college so I went with bm soft fern under the chair rail and the same wallpaper I had above with a light green background and cranberry birds sitting on big leaves. It’s a subtle pattern. I have that wallpaper for almost 2 decades and I never tire of it. I put a very large light green almost grey no pile wool rug with muted floral motif to match the paint color. And of course I have custom straight panel valances with jabots that are also green but they were there first and dictated my green choice colors. It’s a north facing room with no direct sunlight so I had to keep it light green. I did put a very large mirror opposite the window to reflect light. The room has not changed much in my 2 decades here except for the green paint and the rug. I am certain I will not have to change it again. I love the color scheme. And my kitchen sunroom and hallway are bm nantucket grey and I love that green too! The rest of the house is pretty neutral with bm navajo white walls. Did you know that cats dislike the feel of velvet and it’s a safe upholstery choice for cat lovers?

  • I’ve got a beige colour, in my new bedroom and I’m. Painting in a dark green, which is mold resistant, on the outer wall and around the windows, the flat is in an old Georgian house conversion and then I’m painting palm leaves in a lighter green with black cats sitting on moons, taking inspiration from my shower curtain and mat

  • Perfect timing! We are building a new home right now. I have always been a green person, the exterior of our home is a sage green mixed with warm neutrals on trim, brick and door. I am dying to have green kitchen cabinets and create that “dialogue” in the home as you mentioned. Thank you so much for this article!! ❤

  • Though Green is also a fav of mine, I couldn’t live with “grass green” kitchen cabinets…however “black-green” could be a go…at least for lowers! My much loved kitchen HunterGreen/White checker board floor tile finally cracked & had to be replaced. The wood-look LVP replacement extending into the adjacent family DID visually ENLARGE the space …a plus. Next green opportunity under consideration…a “Forrest Wall Mural” on my Dining Room end wall.

  • Hi Julie! Thank you for bringing this Green segment to light! I’m actually helping my mom update her apartment – she wants to paint the gallery kitchen walls green and has mixed woods through out the home (dark kitchen cabinets and walnut colored trims and doors) so I plan on checking out the best paints for wood trims. The kitchen is open to the living area which is separated by a 43″ cabinet with shelves facing out to the living room. This separation also gives the illusion of a tiny foyer where most tenants place their dining area – but I think it’s too small an area because of the door swing. Your article is very helpful especially Heidi’s wall designs and plan to do a mural on a feature wall. Also, I have the same 70s bathroom you featured with the blue tiles except her’s is yellow – each tile appears to be slightly off in color from each other. But luckly it’s only on the shower walls and 3/4 up the rest of the remaining walls in this very tiny (7′ x 6′) space. The ceiling needs a serious sanding due to poor plastering but I thought about using the same green on the ceiling and doing a moorish design with yellow and blue to make it appear like a jewel box. Can you please do a segment on other ideas on how to update or refresh these types of bathroom tiles. Since it’s a rental we can only play with colors and stick on tiles, wallpaper, etc.!

  • Green is my favorite color and in the 14 homes that I have owned, green always finds its way in! My current home has the dreaded honey oak “time stamped ” kitchen cabinets. Presently I am changing out the primary bath suite (thankfully it has walnut cabinets) but the kitchen is on the horizon and I have seen some appealing greens that I would love to use. Be bold and enjoy being different! All Beige and neutral is not me! Great detail, thx!

  • Absolutely love the greens. I don’t think you ever tire of green. I have some sage touches in my living room, and foyer. My sofa has a brown background with a beige and sage fern print. My office room is the color” Lemongrass.” by Sherwin Williams. When the sun shines in there, it’s so cheerful. I love the greens against the darker woods, as you mentioned. And I love a lot of white accents. Im so happy you put out this article.

  • This is so informative! The detailed comparisons between light and airy green decor versus dark and moody green decor helped me visualize how different shades can completely transform a space. I loved how you explained the psychology behind different shades of green and how they can influence the atmosphere of a room.

  • Thank you 🙏🏼 green is my favorite. I love the different shades of green throughout the house. I have golden oak stained tongue and groove ceilings and walls with the exception of the living room walls only, they are drywalled. I really like the green with the golden orange wood hue i have, maybe even more than blue. I’m excited to play with an all green colored home. Maybe just white walls in the living room though?

  • Something about a dark interior just seems so mysterious in the most cozy way possible. If someone prefers the light airy vibe, then they may never like it and that’s fine. I have an opportunity to go for exactly what I want, and what I want…is black walls. There will be a number of ways in which color will be able to stand out. Artwork etc. Never thought of it on such a deep level, but white walls means basically everything else will be darker.

  • This is exactly what I needed! I do not want light and airy, the sun shines in my windows all afternoon and blinds you. I want to redo my stupid bedroom but can’t decide what dark color to use. Edit: I’m going with a deep scarlet. I’m an artist and I can just paint whatever paintings I want to enhance the look, and I won’t have to buy new bedding. 🙂

  • I have always loved “masculine” style and the man cave, never been the girls girl. I just painted my den in imports iron ore and I’m loving it. I decided if i hate it at least I have the best damn YouTube recording room ever! 😂. Colors poo, it’s sensual but amazingly calming and relaxing. It’s my honeycomb hideout and I’m loving it.

  • This is the article I have been looking for 🙏I absolutely LOVE a dark and moody space yet have had a hard time finding ways of bringing my ideas to life. Seeing all these dark and stunning rooms has finally inspired me to just do it already and experiment with the deep shades. I’ve been eyeing some deep shades from Farrow and Ball which are stunning, after all it’s just paint so why not have some fun! Thanks for the awesome ideas 🤗😊

  • I have a small home, 567 sq ft, and I’m planning to paint the kitchen and living room (one open space) hunter green. We have a shed roof so the ceiling is slanted, short on the kitchen side and gradually getting higher as you move to the living room, which has french doors going to our porch. I’m torn on whether I should paint the ceiling the same color, white or even just doing a different color to draw the eye up… thoughts?

  • “Dark and Moody” So THAT’S what it’s called. Wonderful. Ha! I just heard the part of you saying people worry about the room looking too small and this was exactly my issue as well, but I’m going out on a limb here anyway. I love dark and moody, the only “light” areas are mine and my daughter’s room. Her’s is a moody purple and mine is romantic pink. I’m currently working on renovating my bathroom and I’m doing this look. I’m going for a semi-dark green (I wanted to go even darker but my daughter made a bowel analogy and changed my mind), but I’m going for black and gold, umm…accents? Basically, painting my tub, sink and toilet black, and faucets will be gold. Floors are a black, grey and green marble (contact paper), and ceiling will be dark grey which I’m looking to create a “concrete effect” on. Crossing my fingers. I hope you see the vision as I do. I’ll gladly accept any suggestions anyone wants to throw my way. Hopefully, my excitement isn’t so obvious. 😂😂

  • We plan to paint the entire interior and exterior of our house Navy Blue. We have a coastal, nautical interior design monochromatic down the Shore and have a sea-foam green going now that is beautiful however that paint is over 5 years old and time for new paint. Everything will be Navy Blue, Center hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, great room, powder room, staircase, stairwell, upstairs hallway, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, all of the wood work Navy Blue, the ceilings will be White, exterior shake shingles Navy Blue, white shutters, white trim, Red front door, Red garage doors. It is going to take a costly $$$ ton of paint, primer, etc to pull off our Navy Blue monochromatic paint job, y’all wish us luck please! Kevin Sea Girt, New Jersey

  • Loved your explanation, I think it helped me decide, I want my studio to be dark and moody, yet I’m not sure if the space is rectangular will make it too dark by having the natural light coming on one of the short sides, but according to the explanation, it should create shadows, I would like your opinion on this is possible 💜
