Never underestimate the power of lighting. A soft yellow-toned glow brings out the warmth and sheen of a dark green, allowing the color to truly shine.

Go Two-Toned

Color blocking with two tones is another great way to break up a space. Using a dark color on the bottom half of the wall creates the illusion of a headboard. The deep pine green keeps to its warmth, paired with brass decals and neutral hues. Simple striped bedding in a softer green nod to the bottom half of the wall, while white accents in the lamp and decor play off the top half.

Natural materials always pair well with green, as both are found together outdoors. This bedroom uses woven fabrics to dress the bed, atop a jute rug and oaky tables.
