Color choice is essential when decorating a bedroom. Colors can influence our mood, our energy levels, and even the quality of our sleep. Blue is often recommended for bedrooms because of its calming effect.
But if you’re looking for a color that’s both soothing and trendy, why not consider green?
In this article, I’m exploring the charm of green and sharing some ideas on how to incorporate this refreshing shade into your bedroom decor.
The Current Green Trend in Bedrooms
Green—especially soft tones like celadon or sage—is definitely in style right now, and not just in bedrooms.
Green is a color that brings to mind nature, tranquility, and freshness. So it’s no surprise that it’s gaining popularity in interior design, especially since there’s a growing desire to bring a bit of the outdoors inside. Whether it’s a gentle pastel green, a deep olive, or a vibrant emerald, green offers a wide variety of shades to help you create a calm and peaceful bedroom atmosphere.

It’s Not Just About Style—Health Matters Too
When decorating, the aesthetic side is important, but so is the health and safety of our home environment. And this isn’t just about bugs and biodiversity—it’s essential for us, the people living in the house.
Wall paints, while great for transforming a space, can sometimes carry hidden health risks due to their chemical makeup. Lower-quality paints may release harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air, contributing to indoor pollution and potentially causing respiratory and other health problems.
That’s why it’s essential to choose high-quality, low-VOC certified paints. These more eco-friendly options offer beautiful color palettes and great finishes, without the health risks. You’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing that your decor choices are safe for you and your family.

Green and Pink: A Surprisingly Perfect Match
Green and pink may sound like a bold combo, but they actually balance each other beautifully. Green brings a sense of calm and serenity, while pink adds softness and a touch of femininity.
Whether you go for a green wall paired with pink linens and accents, or the reverse, this color duo creates a cozy, relaxing vibe. Like a little cocoon of comfort.
Can You Use Dark Green in the Bedroom?
Absolutely—it’s a bold choice, but one that works well.
Dark greens like forest, bottle green, or pine create a more intimate, sophisticated ambiance. They bring a luxurious, cocoon-like feel that’s ideal for rest. Pair them with rich materials like velvet, dark wood, or brass to complete the look.
Final Thoughts: Green Is a Beautiful, Versatile Choice
Adding green to your bedroom is a lovely way to introduce freshness, tranquility, and style. Green is versatile enough to suit almost any decor, whether you prefer soft and calming shades like celadon or deeper, more dramatic tones. It’s a timeless choice that won’t go out of style.
So, ready to go green?
