Palatable Palettes: Green Goodness for Bedrooms
Green is a much-loved colour by designers due to its flexibility. It has a warm side via yellowy chartreuse and lime greens, or it can run cool with minty or watery greens. Lighten it up and insert some grey to it, or use lavender green as a wonderful choice neutral to beige. Green has a level of pep for this, just how particular shades of yellow or orange may. We combine green with character — it reminds us of running through the grass barefoot during the summers of our childhood, or eating fresh vegetables at their peak of ripeness.
Have a look at a choice of bedrooms which take advantage of this beauty and flexibility of the ideal colour of green, together with examples of color and material palettes inspired by every room.

Green and Gray (Bold and Elegant)
Here is the way to do a bold shade of green to get a tasteful bedroom. The glowing leafy-green background is grounded by the gray-colored bedding. The effect is eye catching and lavish.

Example palette: That can be an extreme green, so you may choose to restrict it to one wall (or even a semi wall) in your bedroom. The many shades of grey are calming, ideal for catching some Zs.

Green and Gray (Contemporary)
Here we have a wonderful contemporary spin on green and gray. This shade of green has more yellow in it, making it a bold choice with this slick bedroom. The chartreuse wall and the print onto the bed cover are balanced out from the cool grey fabrics and metal-edged wardrobe doors. The effect is sublime against the snowy backdrop of this floor, walls and ceiling.

Green With Wood
Maybe because it reminds us of nature, green plays well with timber. If you have a bedroom with lots of dark wood in it, look at adding touches of a bold green hue, such as this joyful shade of green apple, then to decorate it up.

Green With Neutrals
Toned-down greens — people with a touch of grey in them — are elegant when paired with other rich hues, such as soft, buttery yellows and rich burgundies. If you want muted colors to bolds, pick a light mushroom color for the walls and use the more dominant colors as accents.

Green as a Neutral
Does green work well with neutrals, but it can also function as a neutral itself. Rather than painting your bedroom walls white or beige, consider a sage or carrot green. These hues have a great deal of white and a touch of grey in them, making them soft and mellow, but in no way boring.

Example palette: This pretty palette comes with a gentle shade of celery green because the backdrop for smaller pieces of light aqua and terra-cotta. Clockwise from top left (all from Valspar): Aqua Glow 5007-9B, Macadamia Nut CI164 and Morning Zen CI170.
