Dark green brings a sense of nature and relaxation to a bedroom, creating a peaceful retreat that feels modern and inviting. Natural elements and simple accents can turn any room into an oasis.
Paint Colors
Colors will look drastically different in different places. Lighting, paint sheen, and design elements in the room all affect how the paint will look. There are many great brands, but I like to use examples from Sherwin Williams because they are easy to find, and many big box stores can match their colors. I have Home Depot match their colors because Sherwin Williams is expensive! However, with so many great options, it can be difficult to choose a color. Here are 3 great green paint color ideas.
Evergreen fog is a popular green. It is on the lighter side. Perfect for those worried about going too dark. This also looks beautiful on cabinets.
Rosemary is one of my personal favorites. Rosemary is dark, but with good natural light, it doesn’t overwhelm the room.
Ripe Olive is perfect if you are going for a very dark green, moody feel.

With any new paint, I highly recommend getting a sample to test.
Once you’ve chosen your paint color, it’s time to focus on bedroom decor. These practical decor ideas will help make a dark green bedroom feel warm and inviting. I am in the middle of creating my next Airbnb, and these dark green bedrooms and decore ideas are what I am using for inspiration.

1. Warmth and Nature: Embracing Wood Elements
In a dark green bedroom, wood elements provide a natural warmth. It can help balance the depth of the color. Reclaimed wood or light oak furniture creates a great contrast.
2. Tying the Room Together with Neutral Rugs
A neutral rug can tie in different design elements in the room. A rug in shades of beige, cream, or light tan softens the intensity of the dark green.
With a hard flooring surface, I highly recommend placing a rug under the bed. Not only can it warm up the room with color and texture it is also warm to step on when getting out of bed. Making it not only beautiful but functional. If you don’t want a large rug a couple of smaller rug runners on either side of the bed work well too.
3. Functional Beauty: The End-of-Bed Bench
A bench at the end of the bed adds functionality and style. It offers a convenient spot for sitting or storing throw blankets.
4. Lighting that Shimmers: Gold and Natural Fixtures
Keep lights a soft, warm light vs bright white daylight bulbs. This enhances the warm, cozy feel.
Options such as pendant lights and wall sconces introduce a soft glow. Edison bulbs with an amber glass give the perfect warm glow.
5. Soft Touches: Linen Green Bedding for Inviting Comfort
Soft linen bedding is a beautiful way to achieve a layered, comfortable look. I love a duvet with a linen duvet cover.
Lighter greens or earthy tones can complement dark green beautifully. If you are not a fan of a duvet, a green throw blanket can really bring the look together.
6. A Forest Inside: Lush Plants for a Natural Touch
Bringing plants into your bedroom complements a dark green.
Plants improve air quality and contrast beautifully with dark green walls. If you aren’t great at keeping plants alive, snake plants and spider plants are hardy plants.
If you’d rather skip the hassle of maintaining real plants, faux plants are a fantastic alternative. Hanging plants, small plants, ferns, or tall plants are all great options.
7. Simplistic Elegance: Simple Wooden Furniture
8. Reflective Appeal: Mirrors as Both Functional and Beautiful Touches
Mirrors serve as both functional tools and decorative accents. Strategically placing a mirror not only makes the space appear larger but also reflects natural light.
A full-length mirror is perfect if you have the space. Making outfit selection and makeup application effortless. If space is limited, a beautifully hung wall mirror can be just as functional.
9. Cozy Layers: Throw Pillows to Add a Warm, Inviting Feel
Throw pillows are small yet impactful accents. They introduce layers of texture and comfort into the bedroom. Pillows bring warmth and visual interest to beds or seating areas.
Throw pillow covers are great because they can be easily changed out. If you buy throw pillow covers, don’t forget the pillow inserts. I learned that one from personal experience.
10. Essential Storage: A Simple Bedside Stand
A bedside stand is essential for keeping a bedroom balanced. A simple wooden bedside stand can really complete the room.
