12+ Marvelous Ways to Decorate with Green Home Decor

With March and Saint Patrick’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to round up a few of my favorite green home decor inspirations to share with you here today. But honestly, decorating with green decor can be beautiful any time of the year! 

Whether you’ve been thinking about painting a sage green accent wall, trying out some green furniture, or just want to incorporate more greenery into your decor, this post is for you.

Tips for Decorating with Green Home Decor

Incorporating green accents can feel daunting if you’ve never used much green in your home decor or are just starting to move away from a more neutral color palette.

But there are so many ways to decorate a home with green – and so many green colors to choose from!

Here are a few of my best tips for using green home decor ideas:

Choose a Green Color Palette

Start by selecting a few shades of green that resonate with your style and preferences. Consider choosing various tones, from soft pastels to deep, moody shades for a versatile look you can use throughout your home.

I have two favorite greens in home decor colors that I embrace.

Nantucket Gray by Benjamin Moore, which we painted our inside home’s trim and kitchen at our home in Maine.

It’s a very soft green-gray. Some may say it’s gray; it’s that soothing.

Find the Best Complementary Colors for Green Home Decor

Green paint and home decor can go with many different colors and home finishes, but it can take some trial and error to figure out the best complementary colors for the specific shades of green you’re using. 

Combining green with colors like crisp whites, blues, pinks, and corals often works well, but green can also look lovely with warm, creamy off-white, beige, and black colors.

Whenever possible, test green paint colors and green decor in your space before making any final decorating decisions.

Incorporate Green Throughout Your Home

One of the best ways to make a design element – like green home decor – look cohesive is by incorporating it in multiple places throughout your home.

Try a green accent wall in one room and add fresh (or faux) house plants in another. A pop of green in throw pillows on a couch or bed is another simple way to incorporate green home decor. 

As always, your personal taste plays a crucial role in any home decor you choose. So, adapt these suggestions to suit your unique style.
