Green, associated with new life and nature's beauty, is a natural fit for living room color schemes.

Living Room with Bold Patterns

Green and blue make a gorgeous color combination. This sitting area uses the two colors and various geometric patterns to make a statement—even the basketweave base of the coffee table is on theme.
Green Color Schemes
Green is a versatile hue that blends well with various other colors. For vibrant green living room ideas, pair lush greens with bright colors pulled from the garden, such as rose pink, goldenrod, and tangerine. In this green living room, neutral walls and a symmetrical furniture arrangement keep the playful mix of colors and patterns from appearing chaotic.
Green Accents
A few colorful elements set against a backdrop of neutrals add stand-out personality without going overboard. An accent chair and throw pillows offer subtle ways to insert the fresh feel of green in a classic design, as seen in this living room. A dark shade of sage on the fireplace mantel ties in with the green accessories while offering contrast against warm white walls.
Green Walls
Lean into the nature-inspired look with green living room ideas that remind you of lush plant life. Here, verdant walls draw their color from an assortment of leafy houseplants. Nature-inspired wall art and natural materials, including leather and jute, contribute to the organic appeal.
Dark Green Living Room
Dark green wall colors add dramatic style to living rooms. To prevent the space from feeling too dark, paint the ceiling and trim in a bright white that will reflect light around the room. Warm accents, including mustard yellow curtains and a leather chair, also help ward off a dim, cold look in this green living room.
Green Living Room Couch
Bring in green with a bold accent piece to instantly enliven a neutral living room. Here, a brilliant emerald green sofa stands out amid a color scheme dominated by white and black. For extra pop, choose a statement-making fabric like velvet.

Against a backdrop of dark gray walls, the bright green living room decor is even more impactful. This sofa, in a vibrant shade of sherbet green, injects bold personality into the mostly gray space. A teal-painted floor and Fuschia accents incorporate additional color that keeps the look bright and crisp.

Green Living Room Refresh
Keep your living room color scheme simple to achieve a crisp and clean feel. Choose a few green accents, such as pillows, throws, or artwork, to offset a palette of creams, grays, and browns. Potted plants and cut flowers can also add a touch of green while bringing a bit of nature indoors.
Green Living Room Furniture
Have fun with living room furniture in zippy shades of green. This chartreuse sofa and accent lamp pop against the bright white walls and window treatments. An antique etched-glass mirror contrasts with modern furniture for an eclectic, whimsical look.
Choosing Green Living Room Colors
Let a favorite piece of art guide your green living room color scheme. The different shades of green in the landscape painting above the mantel repeat throughout this room. Having the painting as a focal point allows the different greens to interact without competing for attention.
