Brits are always looking for ways to improve their home, with over 5 million views on UK TikTok videos with the hashtag #HouseDesign in just the last seven days.
Sage green is currently trending online, with Google searches for “sage green paint” peaking in April 2024, at more than 22,000 searches, reflecting a 23% increase year-on-year.
While sage green is a hot topic right now, there are loads of other green shades that shouldn’t be forgotten when it comes to redesigning your bedroom.
“Adding a touch of green can be a wonderful way to breathe life into your safe-haven space by having a calming and relaxing effect which is ideal for a restful sleeping environment,”
says Melissa Denham, interior stylist at Hammonds Fitted Furniture.
Melissa has also shared five ways how you can use the colour green to refresh your bedroom décor:
1. Set the scene with sage green
Sage green works perfectly as a complementary colour and can be used alongside a range of neutral shades, including beige and taupe.
Decorate your room with rustic-style furniture to make it warm and inviting. Pair your sage green walls with other nature-inspired hues to create a comfortable and intimate space.
2. Add some depth with green furniture
Standalone furniture options can often throw off a colour scheme and leave you with a space that looks a little short of cohesive.
If you’re not afraid to use colour in your home, consider using forest green bedroom furniture for a natural, earthy but luxurious feel.
It’s sophisticated and chic and can be paired beautifully with blush pink soft furnishings for a contrasting, on-trend look.
3. Energise with vibrant shades
Grab the attention of your guests by using dynamic and vibrant shades, such as lime or apple green. These are ideal if you’re looking to make your bedroom interior appear brighter and more cheerful.
While these colours can be a little intense when used wall-to-wall, consider introducing them subtly by keeping them as accent shades across bed linen, lamps and rugs. This way, you can add a little zest without it being overpowering.
4. Introduce drama with emerald accents
It’s no secret that emerald green is favoured by designers and homeowners alike, and it even won first place for Etsy’s Colour of the Year 2022.
Emerald green keeps things formal and elegant in your bedroom design. This eye-catching colour is associated with prestige and luxury and is excellent for adding a little drama to your interior.
Decorate with this shade by using it in your curtains, cushions, or headboard. Pair with gold tones for a vintage and regal feel, ensuring your home is fit for royalty.
5. Embrace botanicals
Bring the outside inside with lush botanicals and embrace nature in your newly decorated green room.
Incorporating bold leafy prints on your bed linen and wallpaper can create refreshing and calming visuals that soothe and relax you after a busy day.
Don’t forget to buy houseplants for your room to encourage feelings of calmness.
Indoor plants are great for boosting mood, reducing stress levels, and increasing productivity. And they have air-purifying qualities which can help you get a good night’s sleep.
