17 Glamorous Ways to Decorate with Green: Elegant Home Ideas for Fall and Beyond

Green has a magical way of bringing life and serenity into a space. It’s the color of nature, renewal, and energy—a perfect hue to infuse your home with a fresh and vibrant feel.

In my bedroom, I chose the most gorgeous shade of deep green, Secret Garden Green by Sherwin Williams.

According to Feng Shui, the bedroom should have a very Yin, feminine energy. So, choosing the right color was necessary for me to create the ultimate bedroom sanctuary. Green is representative of life, growth and love. It stimulates and supports the heart chakra.

The color green symbolizes regeneration, new life, and renewal. It's also associated with the wood element, which represents growth, decisiveness, and action. Green can also represent stability, serenity, and fertility, and can indicate when nature and life are at their peaks.

Whether you’re looking to create a calming sanctuary or add a bold, lively touch to your rooms, here’s how to make green work for you in your home decor.

1. Start Small with Accessories

If you’re new to decorating with green, starting small is the way to go. Introduce green through accessories like throw pillows, blankets, or curtains. This allows you to get a feel for how the color complements your existing decor without committing to something too permanent. A deep emerald throw over a neutral couch can instantly elevate the room, while lime green cushions can add a pop of fun and energy.

2. Incorporate Greenery

There’s no better way to bring green into your home than with actual plants. Houseplants not only add color but also purify the air and create a sense of calm. From the statement-making fiddle leaf fig to the humble spider plant, greenery can transform your space. Consider a mix of tall floor plants, small potted succulents, and hanging vines to add layers and dimension to your decor.

3. Paint an Accent Wall

If you’re ready to make a bolder statement, consider painting an accent wall in your favorite shade of green. Whether it’s a deep forest green for a cozy, dramatic effect or a soft sage green for a more subdued, peaceful vibe, an accent wall can anchor a room and serve as a stunning backdrop for your furniture and art. Pair it with natural wood tones and metallic accents to create a balanced and stylish look.

4. Green in Furniture and Rugs

Green isn’t just for walls and accessories—why not go big with your furniture? A green velvet sofa, a pair of moss-colored armchairs, or even a jade green rug can make a striking impact. These pieces can serve as the focal point of the room, around which you can build the rest of your decor. When using green in large pieces, balance it with neutral or muted tones in other areas to keep the space from feeling overwhelming.

5. Mix and Match Shades

Green comes in a myriad of shades, from mint to olive to emerald. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different tones in one room. For example, you can combine a soft pastel green with a bold, dark green for contrast. Layering various shades can add depth and interest to your decor, making the space feel dynamic and cohesive.

6. Complement with Natural Materials

Green pairs beautifully with natural materials like wood, stone, and rattan. Incorporate these elements through furniture, decor pieces, or flooring to create a harmonious look that feels grounded in nature. A green sofa against a backdrop of exposed brick, or green cushions on a rattan chair, can create a stylish, earthy vibe that’s both modern and timeless.

7. Use Green in Art and Decor

Art and decorative items are another great way to introduce green into your home. Look for artwork that features green landscapes, abstract green patterns, or botanical prints. Green vases, candles, and even books can also add subtle touches of the color throughout your space. These items can tie the room together and reinforce the green theme without overpowering the overall aesthetic.

8. Green in the Kitchen and Bathroom

Don’t overlook spaces like the kitchen and bathroom when decorating with green. A green backsplash, cabinetry, or tilework can add character and warmth to these often-overlooked areas. Pairing green with white or gray can keep these spaces looking fresh and clean, while green towels, mats, and accessories can provide an easy, non-permanent update.

17 ideas for decorating with green

01 | Paint a green accent wall

I posted this image on my Instagram page and asked if anyone knew this wall color. I got Benjamin Moore Juniper Green. Nothing transforms a room faster than paint. A deep, moody green like Sherwin-Williams Secret Garden creates instant drama in a bedroom or living room. Pair it with brass accents or warm wood for balance.

Feng Shui: Why you should decorate your kitchen with the color pink + 17 chic ideas to inspire you

It isn’t a secret that I love the color pink.

In the words of Audrey Hepburn, “I believe in pink!”. So there’s that.

As a child, in the early 80’s our house was painted in pastel pink, decorated with florals and black accents. To this day, I still love that look, so very vintage edgy glam.

Here’s the thing about pink in the home, the color pink represents unconditional love, compassion, fun, happiness.

It is the color of universal love of oneself and of others.

According to Feng Shui, Pink represents friendship, affection, harmony, inner peace, and approachability.

Paris is the city of love and filled with gorgeous pink buildings and doors. India’s streets are lined with pink as it brings a vibrant joy. Back in the 1700’s European Aristocrats wore shades of pink to symbolize luxury and class. It’s historically a color of bliss.

In Feng Shui, using the soft shades of pink in your home helps to cultivate happiness within your family and strengthen the romantic love in partnerships. It can even encourage harmonious communication between those who reside within the home.

I honestly think every area of the home needs a little pink but after seeing this gorgeous kitchen designed by Arielle, it occurred to me that more kitchens need to be pink.

Especially because the kitchen is a place where love is cultivated. Through making food, nourishing your body, spending time with family…a lot of love goes on in the kitchen. I’m making a case for the pink kitchen.

However, I don’t think you have to renovate your kitchen to adorn it with pink. You can intentionally add hints of pink, think loving energy that will fill your kitchen with those loving intentions.

Every time you see your pink accoutrements in your kitchen, it should remind you of loving thoughts that will pour over your home and family. I came up with some of my favorite accents that you could add to your kitchen that could give it a little bit of pink and enhance your culinary space with a little bit of loving, healing energy.

HOT TIP: tell the boys in your home that the color pink symbolizes your love for them so when they see the pink, they'll remember you love them too and not just see a girlie color.

Another fabulous benefit of having the color pink in your kitchen is that it encourages and promotes a sense of self love, self compassion and self worth.

The color will help you feel more confident as you make food choices and eat mindfully. As you experience joy cooking and eating meals, it will allow you to eat without guilt, fill your body with loving feelings. Anyone who has a complicated relationship with food will benefit from eating in the pink.

Tips TO GIVE YOUR KITCHEN A DASH OF PINK:

• Everybody’s favorite candle is a capri blue candle and they finally made one in pink. This is such a perfect candle for the kitchen because the smell is welcoming and bright. It’s a little fruity but really simple and not too overpowering for people. You need to burn this candle when you’re all in the kitchen hanging out.

• Trays literally are fabulous for organizing things. Things tend to pile up on our kitchen island like keys, mail, catalogs, medicine, iphone chargers. It’s weird but it becomes like a magnet for random stuff we need everyday access to. This pretty pink tray is a perfect piece to have on your kitchen island to organize all your stuff. I just ordered one.

• I love a good kitchen rug. I don’t know, I just think a chic rug is so much better than those weird mats right by the sink. It just looks better. Perk up your kitchen with this chic boho patterned rug. Or if you want something a little more practical and affordable, this one is a good find too.

• I am obsessed with the entire SMEG line. They are just the coolest looking kitchen appliances out there right now. How adorable is this pink SMEG blender? There is also an adorable kettle I have my eye on.

• Omg, this cookbook, Cherry Bombe is gorgeous!! Every page is absolutely beautiful. I found it at TJ Maxx once and wanted it so bad but the line was so ridiculously long, I didn’t end up getting it. Now, it is in my Amazon cart.

• It’s important to have some dishes that are cute when you’re having snacks at home or just eating a quick bowl of cereal. If its boring, you won’t really tap into your bliss while eating. But if you have a beautiful plate or bowl to eat off of, you take in the entire experience differently. So, this dish set is fun and affordable and a really great way to get some pink into your kitchen.

• If you need barstools, these barstools are definitely the ones you need. They’re a beautiful blush pink velvet with a gold finish. They’re so good and so chic.

• You should know by now that Rose Quartz is a must have in the home. It’s the crystal of love. So, why not serve your cheese on this gorgeous Rose Quartz plate? There isn’t anything more spiritually glamorous than that?
