Even though I love creating them for you to learn the look or shop the look, they are time consuming to make! But here’s a fresh batch hot off the presses and just for your homes. Find furniture, decor, and maybe even something unexpected. Also, I’m always surprised by how many followers count green their favorite color. Green only seems to soar in its prominence on social media feeds. Why? We’ll discuss ideas for green interiors including awesome paint colors.

Green Interior & Exterior Design Inspo
You can’t miss all the psycho-babble about the reasons beneath the buying behavior, but it’s basic common sense. Green reminds all of us of wealth, nurturance, springtime, renewal, trees, earthy goodness, and fresh produce. I love it for front doors in any season:
Can you live with green walls? While our family room and bedrooms upstairs here at the Georgian may appear beige in images, they are definitely green-gray (see Agreeable Gray below).
For example, interior or exterior doors with green can be striking. Cast-off or vintage furniture may pop with it. After you live green, perhaps you’ll be primed for bolder strokes (utility room walls, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities).
How Do Designers Use Green?
There are so many values of green to choose from and what an eclectic mix!
In the Arts and Crafts style boutique hotel above, green feels timeless and sublimely restful. Green is often the star of tree and botanical wallpaper patterns…
Summer Thornton truly transforms spaces with the prettiest greens!
Think you have seen every green kitchen? Boom. A green floor boldly introduces nature to a rustic one.
Powder baths are famously wallpapered for good reason. We’re less likely to tire of the pattern.
I so admire the work of Beata Heuman! Without design rules for which greens and how they should be matached (just checked, and sure enough, nope, there aren’t any), it’s more than okay to mix your greens for an evolved look rich with character.
Such an enchantingly calm mood above due in part to cabinets and walls drenched in understated sage.
Olive Green Inspiration
Thinking about sampling a green paint color? It truly can be eased with: peel, stick, and repeat! Psst. Samplize samples are made with two coats of real paint from the manufacturer, making the swatch a 100% accurate representation of the final color for walls.
Even more impressive? The sample can be repositioned multiple times. Yep. Move it around to different locations on the wall to notice how it appears in different lighting.
Farrow & Ball Lichen 19
Notice how it works with the other colors in your space and with other samples.
The samples can even be used around corners.
In this living room (below), Card Room Green is used only on the fireplace wall. Suddenly the fireplace can be more of a focal point.
Farrow & Ball Card Room Green
It’s such an amazing color as a backdrop for the holidays!
This gorgeous dark grey green is named after the study-like rooms favored in the Victorian period. Farrow and Ball calls it “unapologetic in its strength.”
Isn’t it unusual and interesting to see two low-contrast greens used together like this (above)?
One of the reasons it is so wise to sample greens is that the very same color that looks perfect in a photo could be all wrong for you. Card Room Green looks teal in this image (maybe because of time of day or editing later).
Farrow & Ball Green Smoke
Similarly, the stair rail gets a moment with green. I remember the internet sensation that occurred when Charlotte Reiss painted her former farmhouse kitchen cupboards this color:
Isn’t it the ideal green to complement two hundred year old antique reclaimed terracotta tiles?
More Olive Green Options
Wondering about olive greens beyond Green Smoke? Try: Sherwin-Williams Retreat, Privilege Green, Cityscape and Benjamin Moore Caldwell Green.
Here’s how F&B describe the hue: “A smoky green blue, this colour was popular in interiors during the late 19th century. It has an irresistibly inviting deepness and weathered familiarity when used in exterior situations, while evoking calm and serenity when used inside.”
Let’s discuss. Would this white Ilve range look even half as amazing without the green cabinets? The handcrafted pendant elevates the mix too. Looking for elegant lighting to shed light on your pretty green rooms?
How to Decorate With Gray-Green
When you’re after a sophisticated grey-green…
It feels clean and sophisticated in this bath:
Have you green lovers ever tried a green painted statement wall?
Here’s a home where a very natural feeling gray green plays a starring role:
How to Celebrate an Earthy Green
Farrow & Ball Bancha No. 298
I have sampled this unusual green which is one of those hard to describe greens with brown undertones…it is definitely strong and isn’t quite olive.
Farrow & Ball says Bancha is named after Japanese tea leaves and is a “mid-century modern green…perfect for those who want to embrace stronger colour in the home, its sober tone creates rooms that feel calm and serene – especially when combined with soft pinks and browns.”
More green with terracotta…are you loving the rustic natural mood?
It truly has a midcentury feel:
These earthy greens are so incredible with natural warm woods, brass and gold tones, and black.
Is Lime Green Your Favorite Color?
Feelin’ saucy and ready to go bolder than Bancha with a lime green for the books?
Not sure of the exact green on panels and trim in Martha Stewart’s beautiful room, but try Benjamin Moore Buckingham Gardens for something in the same spirit.
If you like serene sage green colors that lean toward grey…

Thanks for showing S-W Acacia Haze. I love it’s smoky blue/green tone and use that hue on my furniture line. If I am not using white, it is my go-to color.
