27 green living room ideas in every shade you can imagine
Green has re-emerged as a popular color choice in interior design, offering transformative qualities that can either connect indoor spaces with nature or create a cozy, enclosed atmosphere. According to Karen Haller's 'The Little Book of Colour,' green is intrinsically reassuring, symbolizing life, food, and water. This primal association makes it an ideal color for living spaces, encouraging a sense of well-being.
Various shades of green are favored for living rooms. 'Invisible Green' by Edward Bulmer Paint is a consistently popular option, noted for its confident yet classic appeal. Examples include Rita Konig's County Durham farmhouse and Andrew O'Hagan's former artist's studio, where it contributes to a sophisticated, book-filled ambiance. Lighter, apple-inspired greens, such as Farrow & Ball's 'Cooking Apple Green' and 'Breakfast Room Green,' are also widely used, providing a calmer, more traditional feel suitable for tranquil environments. Deeper, highly pigmented greens are effective in creating a comforting, cocoon-like effect, as demonstrated in Robert Moore's Norfolk home.
For those hesitant to commit to a full green palette, subtle alternatives exist. Dirty whites with green undertones, like Farrow & Ball's 'Old White,' can introduce an earthy element. This shade works particularly well in rooms with intricate architectural details, where it can cast nuanced shadows that add depth. Khaki, a light, earthy green, is also beneficial in such spaces, enhancing their visual complexity.
Designers frequently incorporate green to achieve specific moods and aesthetics. Joshua Hale utilized Little Greene’s ‘Light Bronze Green’ to bring warmth to a north-facing living room. Nicola Harding's design for an Arts and Crafts house used Pure & Original’s ‘Landscape’ fresco lime paint to complement vibrant textiles and art. Artist Catherine Cazalet’s Cotswolds home features an uplifting pistachio green from Dulux, combined with colorful textiles for a joyful outcome. Violet & George opted for a murky green, Farrow & Ball’s ‘Salon Drab,’ in a converted barn to provide a dramatic backdrop for art.
Other notable examples include Francesca Gentilli’s farmhouse, where Farrow & Ball’s ‘Breakfast Room Green’ harmonizes with pink and red upholstery and antique art. Architect Simon Hurst, in collaboration with Gavin Houghton, used green to act as a warm neutral against purple lampshades and a blue sofa. Robert Kime’s Court House in Wiltshire, redecorated by Rosie Hayes and Orlando Atty, features a custom earthy green that blends with natural wood beams and existing furnishings. Sandra Barrio von Hurter selected Farrow & Ball’s ‘Lichen,’ a subtle putty green, for a more mature living space, complemented by pink accents and art.
Ptolemy Dean's rectory includes Farrow & Ball’s ‘Breakfast Room Green’ to evoke a heritage feel, maintaining coordination with neutral, green-based upholstery. Daniel Slowik chose Farrow & Ball’s ‘Cooking Apple Green’ for a 1930s Chelsea flat, highlighting artwork and contrasting with a turquoise sofa. Cassandra Ellis of Atelier Ellis used her brand's ‘Tirzah’ shade, a dusty sage green, with a denim blue sofa to create a moody, intimate entrance hall. Henriette von Stockhausen’s country house features Farrow & Ball’s ‘Ball Green,’ a clean and crisp shade mixed with white.
Further designs include Jane Ormsby Gore's Welsh house with Edward Bulmer’s ‘Invisible Green’ for coziness, and Charlotte Dellal's home, decorated by Ben Pentreath, showcasing olive-green walls that glow in sunlight. Tiffany Duggan’s London terrace features Paint & Paper Library's ‘Apple Smiles II’ as a sophisticated backdrop. Luke Edward Hall’s flat utilizes Leyland’s ‘Forest Storm’ for a moody atmosphere, while Max Hurd’s London house employs Farrow & Ball’s ‘Sap Green’ with ‘Bancha’ for woodwork. Brandon Schubert’s former London flat effectively uses Farrow & Ball's ‘Castle Gray’ as a versatile backdrop for art. Anna Haines’ vicarage near Bath is painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘French Gray,’ a perfect dusty green for a light-filled room. A family home in Bath uses Little Greene’s ‘Garden’ for a vibrant yet period-sympathetic look. Nina Litchfield’s London drawing room features green bookshelves in Paint & Paper Library’s ‘Hunter Dunn,’ and Fiona Shelburne’s country house has a custom vibrant lettuce green to complement monumental artworks.
