If you're looking around your bedroom thinking, "this room needs a makeover," then you're in luck–we're here to provide you with some tips for room redecoration.
When you're ready to redesign your bedroom, one of the most important things to think about is colour. So choose green! Going for a green bedroom theme is always a great idea, because it's calming, natural, and stylish. And with a green bedroom, your room will feel tranquil, aligned with nature, and like a calm space of renewal.
Depending on what colour green you choose, your bedroom will evoke a different mood. Sage green, for example, provides you with a soft, muted look, whilst deep emerald provides you with a luxury look. And of course, choosing a cheerier colour like pastel green will provide you with a room that looks fresh and upbeat.
Ready to embrace green? Let's talk more about 8 different ways to design a green-inspired bedroom!
Choose the perfect shade of green
When you create a green style bedroom, you need to choose the perfect shade of green. As we mentioned, each shade of green creates a different mood, so you have to choose one that speaks to you.
Dark greens help you feel grounded and balanced, while earth-toned greens create a relaxing mood.
Don’t forget, the light sources in your home will affect the way your green room looks, too. With cool lights, your green will appear bluer, and if you have warm lights in your home, your green will appear more vibrant.
Think about your current decor before you design your bedroom with green furniture. If you have a lot of dark colours in your room right now, choose lighter greens, and if you have vibrant colours in your room right now, choose more muted greens. It's all about balance!
Green walls: paint, wallpaper, and accent panels
A green style bedroom is possible when you paint the wall green or add wallpaper to your space. But at the same time, green bedroom themes don't have to have green walls, but it's super cool when they do.
You have lots of choices when it comes to wall colours: you could paint the entire space green, add an accent wall with wallpaper or paint, or add some green panelling. Remember, if you choose paint, there are tons of different finishes to choose from, like matte, textured, or gloss. Each of these styles will add a different vibe to your green bedroom theme. Check out some of our bedroom feature wall ideas.
Green bedding and soft furnishings
There are so many different ways to bring green into the bedroom, but we love incorporating green bedding, blankets, and throw pillows. At La Redoute, we even have green bedding sets, so if you're interested in changing your bedroom, try opting for some new bedding!
If you want to create a cosy, unique vibe in your room, try to layer different textures, like linen, velvet, and cotton. You can find bedding ideas for every style with our guide.
Indoor plants for a natural touch
So far, we've been over some bedroom decor ideas that require you to paint or change your bedding, but we haven't talked about plants yet. As you might expect, plants are a great way to incorporate some green into your bedroom space. If you're someone who's new to plants, we recommend you get some plants that are easy to care for, like pothos, ferns, monstera, snake plants, and more. Plus, plants are stylish, but they also have benefits because they purify the air!
Green furniture and upholstery
Ottomans, cushions, and other furniture can transform your room. Depending on how much space you have, add a chair or a wardrobe. There's nothing cuter than adding dark, natural wood with some green accents–so let your furniture do the work in your space!
Artwork and decorative accents
If you're not willing to commit to painting your walls, buying new furniture, or investing in some adorable plants, there are still tons of ways you can add green to your space. We recommend you get some artwork and decorative accents. For example, get some vases and add fake flowers (or real flowers). You can also add framed botanical prints, abstract green artworks, and nature-inspired decor.
Choosing stylish artwork that aligns with your taste can transform your room, but you also might try getting some green candles, ceramics, or shelving.
Layered textures and natural elements
Not only can you layer textiles, using different fabric types like linen, cotton, silk, and more, but you can also combine green with other materials, like rattan, wood, or stone.
Whether you invest in furniture pieces made of wood, install a stone-topped vanity, or add a mirror to your wall made of rattan, you can find some statement pieces to mix and match with the green decor and walls in your bedroom. Again, this is another opportunity for you to get creative with your space–so do what speaks to you!
Lighting to enhance green elements
We've touched on how lighting can transform a green bedroom, but it’s worth emphasising just how crucial it is in setting the right mood. The right lighting not only highlights the beauty of green tones but also enhances the overall ambiance of your space.
For a cosy, inviting feel, opt for warm-toned lighting, such as soft white or amber bulbs, which pair beautifully with earthy greens like sage or olive. If you’re aiming for a more modern and sophisticated look, cool-toned lighting works well with deep emerald or forest green, creating a crisp and elegant contrast.
Consider layering different light sources to create depth and versatility:
-
Pendant lights: a statement pendant or chandelier can serve as a focal point while casting a soft, diffused glow.
-
Table lamps: place bedside lamps with fabric or frosted glass shades to provide warm, intimate lighting perfect for winding down in the evening.
-
LED strips: use these under shelves, along headboards, or behind mirrors to add a subtle yet stylish glow, enhancing the room’s atmosphere without overpowering the green decor.
-
Wall lights: these are great for soft accent lighting, illuminating artwork, or adding a touch of elegance without taking up floor or table space.
By thoughtfully incorporating lighting into your bedroom design, you can enhance the richness of green shades and create a space that feels both stylish and serene.
