52 Gorgeous Green Dining Rooms That Will Give You Major Envy

Green is a color that has been trending in interiors for a while now, and according to the experts, this earthy tone isn’t set to go anywhere anytime soon. From sweet pastel shades to deep, rich hues and everything in between, green is a versatile color that goes well with any decorating style.

If you’re looking to spruce up your dining room with this earthy color, here are 52 green dining rooms to inspire your space.

Try Olive Green Paint

Olive is a timeless shade of green that is characterized by warm undertones and a muted hue. It’s a great choice if you’re going for an organic, earthy look as it pairs beautifully with natural wood and other earthy colors like brown, terracotta, warm white, gray, and more.

Paint Your Dining Table Green

Green paint doesn’t just have to be for the walls. Add a fun pop of color to your dining room by painting your dining table green. Finish off the look by adding some fun upholstered dining chairs in a matching print as seen in this dining room by Lauren Robbins Interiors.

Play With Different Shades of Green

Go for a monochromatic look by playing with different shades of green in your space. This formal dining room designed by Tori Rubinson Interiors and styled by Melanie McKinley features green walls, trim, crown molding, and decor in various coordinating shades of green for an eye-catching green-washed look that we love.

Try Wallpaper and a Painted Ceiling

Wallpaper and a coordinated painted ceiling? Count us in. This is a great way to make your wallpaper blend in seamlessly with the rest of your space, particularly if the muted colors don’t pair well with the traditional bright white ceiling.

Add a Pop of Green With Drapes

Creating a green dining room doesn’t need to mean a big renovation or paint job. You can easily add green to your space using decor and textiles like drapes. Take this dining room by Camden Grace Interior Design for example—fun, high-contrast green curtains instantly transform the space.

Go for Green Wall Molding

Wall molding is a great way to add visual interest and architectural charm to any space, and it can instantly elevate a formal dining space. Add a pop of color by opting for green paint to finish off the look. Soft greens pair well with earthy decor, while rich and bold hues add a touch of elegance.

Paint Your Trim to Match

Gone are the days when all-white trim was the default option. Now, painting your trim to match your walls is a popular choice if you want a seamless, color-washed look. Bring green into your dining room in a bold way by extending the color to the floor.

Try a High-Contrast Wallpaper

A bold, high-contrast wallpaper is a great way to add visual interest and energy to your dining room. Treat it as the foundation of the room and pull your color palette from it for a seamless, professional look.

Enhance the Space With Green Velvet

Is there anything more luxurious than velvet? If you want to add a touch of sophistication to your space, adding green velvet chairs is a simple way to do so. Make them the only pop of green in the space or coordinate with green wall paint, wallpaper, or other accents in the space.

Add Energy With Forest Green Wall Paint

Forest green is a bold, energizing color that comes in a wide range of shades. If you’re ready to go all-in on green, this is a great color to consider for your wall paint. It can be dressed up with elegant finishes or made casual with earthy furniture and decor. It’s a truly versatile tone.

Pair White and Green

You can’t go wrong with white and green. Crisp white and cool greens will give your dining room a more elegant appearance, while off-whites and warm greens will give it a more earthy look. This sophisticated dining space features green velvet dining chairs and textured wallpaper for some added visual interest.

Keep It Light and Airy

If white and beige interiors are your thing, green is a great choice when you’re looking to add a touch of color to your space. Opt for green textiles like curtains and rugs, or decor like plants and stems. Keep it simple and subtle for a sophisticated touch to your light and airy interior.

Pair Pink and Green

Pink and green make an unexpected and eclectic pairing that can be pulled off in so many different ways. Think bright colors, pastel tones, or muted and earthy shades as seen in this space by Ashley Montgomery Design.

Make It Moody and Earthy

Deep earthy tones, botanical prints, natural wood, and black accents make for a moody and inviting space that is perfect for a dining room. This dining space by Jessica Nelson demonstrates how it’s done. If you have a bench or dining nook, don’t forget to add some throw pillows for some added color and texture.

Paint Your Shiplap

Shiplap is traditionally white but it certainly doesn’t need to be. Transform your dining room by adding green shiplap to the walls for an earthy, modern touch. Pair it with some coordinating decor throughout the room to really finish off the look.

Add Green Artwork

You don’t need to paint your walls green to add this earthy hue to your space, a large piece of statement artwork can do the trick just the same. Keep the rest of the room neutral to make the art pop and act as a focal point in the space.

Try Green and Black

Another classic pairing, green and black is a timeless choice for any space, including dining rooms. We love the earthy, boho-inspired look that Arbor & Co. accomplished in this small dining space using sage green dining chairs and accents of black in the decor and fixtures.

Make a Statement With Mural Wallpaper

Add some serious visual interest to your space with mural wallpaper. Green is the perfect color for murals since it’s so present in nature. Think forests, beautiful mountain scenes, gardens, and more.

Pair Green and Brown

As two earthy colors, brown and green always make a good pairing. The finished look doesn't need to be nature-inspired though, as seen in this formal dining space by Alvin Wayne. With the right fixtures, materials, and finishes you can pull off an elegant, sophisticated look that screams cozy and inviting.

Add Plants

Calling all plant lovers: adding houseplants to your dining room is a simple way to bring green into your space, and nurture a fun hobby. Just be sure to consider the lighting you have available in the space to ensure your plants can live happily.

Try Botanical Wallpaper

In place of real plants, why not try a fun botanical wallpaper? You can go for a small print or make a statement with a large mural-like pattern as seen in this dining nook by Alvin Wayne. Pair it with some coordinating green furniture (think chairs or benches) and decor to finish off the look.

Pair Green Wallpaper and Beadboard

Beadboard adds vintage charm to any space and it's particularly popular in dining rooms and kitchens. Play up the vintage aesthetic by pairing beadboard with wallpaper in a coordinating green shade.

Feature a Green Accent Wall

Adding a green accent wall to your space is a great way to incorporate this earthy tone without color-washing the space. This stylish dining room is made instantly colorful with the addition of an olive green accent wall and some contrasting yellow dining chairs.

Make It Playful

If you have kids at home it may not feel practical to create a super formal-looking dining space, so why not lean into it with a more fun, casual look? This playful and inviting space by @styleatno5 combines soft green wall paint with wood furniture, and a funky painted archway leading into the adjoining playroom area.

Try Green and Gray

Green and gray go beautifully together and are a natural choice for spaces like dining rooms and living rooms where gray is a common choice for upholstery. To nail this color combination, make sure you opt for similar hues of the two shades.

Pair Yellow and Green

Yellow and green is a fun, high-energy color combination that you truly can’t go wrong with. This dining room by Instagram user @overatsams features pale green walls with pops of yellow throughout the space for a playful look that we love.

Try Green and Off-White

When it comes to color combinations, green and off-white is one of the most reliable and commonly used out there—and for good reason. These two natural tones create a beautiful earthy neutral look that goes well with a variety of design styles, colors, and finishes.

Opt for Green Board and Batten

Board and batten is a popular way to add some visual interest and texture to a space, and is particularly popular in farmhouse and modern farmhouse styles. Play up the rustic and organic feel of board and batten by painting it green like this dining room by @hatfieldhomeno.7.

Try a Yellow-Green Hue

Greens with yellow undertones are a popular choice for modern and contemporary spaces where they add a pop of eye-catching color. Try incorporating this green shade into your dining room using upholstery and decor to nail this look.

Go for Green Half Walls

Rather than painting your wall paneling green, try the opposite by painting the paneling white and the remaining drywall green. The result is crisp and clean and makes the room feel taller since the green draws your eyes upward.

Add Color With Green Textiles

Go green with the textiles and upholstery in your space. Green dining chairs, curtains, rugs, throw pillows, and more are just a few ways to try out this look in your own home.

Try a Blue-Green Wall Paint

Deep shades of blue-green create an invigorating yet relaxing environment, perfect for dining spaces. This rich blue-green wall paint also creates a beautiful contrast against lighter colors in the room, drawing attention to the plants, artwork, and other decor in the space.

Feature Green Accent Chairs

Mixing in a few green chairs is a fun way to incorporate green in your dining room without going overboard. For a casual yet eclectic look, go for a mismatched look by keeping one or two chairs neutral, as seen in this dining room.

Add Charm With Vintage-Inspired Patterns

Add some charm to your dining room by opting for a vintage-inspired pattern on wallpaper or upholstery. Green is the perfect color for vintage patterns since many of these prints are botanically inspired.

Try Cool Green and Blue Hues

Cool greens and blues make a natural pairing in interiors and lend well to an elegant, formal dining space. Play with a mixture of different hues for a sophisticated look with a pop of fun color.

Go for a Bold Wall Paint

Make your walls the focal point of your space with bold green wall paint. These emerald green walls pop beautifully against the stark white trim, ceiling, and furniture. Keep the rest of your decor minimal to really allow the paint color to shine.

Add a Pop of Lime Green

Add a playful punch of color to your space with a lime green accent in your dining room. Artwork, furniture, and decor are all great ways to bring in this energizing shade. However, if you’re up for a bigger commitment then an accent wall is another great option, as seen in this playful dining room by Laquita Tate Interiors.

Pair Wall Paneling and Mural Wallpaper

Add green to your dining space in a creative and unexpected way by pairing a wallpaper mural with painted wall paneling. Half-wall paneling options like chair rail molding, beadboard, and board and batten are all great choices for this look.

Keep It Muted and Moody

Create a space that feels equal parts moody and nature-inspired by sticking to dark colors and muted shades of green. Black, brown, and taupe are great complementary color choices for deep, earthy greens.

Try Green Cabinets

Whether you have storage cabinets in your dining room, a large china cabinet or you are working with a kitchen/dining room combination, green cabinets are a great way to bring some color to your space. This kitchen and dining space by Light and Dwell features an earthy green cabinet color that acts as a muted neutral tone in the space.

Add Just a Hint of Green

If you’re looking for just a touch of color, there’s no need to go all-in on green. A subtle hint of green in your space can be just as effective. Louis Duncan-He Designs finished off this neutral dining space with some green artwork and a houseplant to add a touch of color without making it the focal point of the space.

Give It a Lounge-Like Feel

If you have a dining area with a bar, try creating a moody lounge-like feel using green. This rich shade is perfect for velvet upholstery and tropical prints. We love how Louis Duncan-He Designs paired green, pink, and black to finish off this moody and eclectic space.

Opt for Dark Green

Just like other dark colors in interiors, dark green can create a space that feels elegant, calming, and inviting. Plus, there are lots of different shades of dark green to choose from. Stick to cooler tones if sophistication is what you're after, or create an earthier look with warm green tones.

Go for Bright Green Paint

Create a high-energy space by choosing bright green wall paint. From zesty lime green to earthier tones as seen in this dining room by M Lavender Interiors, your options are truly endless.

Try a Pop of Soft Green

Sometimes, a subtle pop of soft green is all you need to make a space feel complete—especially when your dining room has a view like this. Upholstery, artwork, and decor is a great way to add a hint of green to a dining room.

Incorporate All the Colors

If you're a fan of color, why stop at adding green to your dining room? Go big and incorporate all the colors of the rainbow. Don't worry, it doesn't have to look like an actual rainbow if you don't want it to. Stick to a couple of primary colors to set the foundation, and then incorporate the rest using pieces of artwork and decor throughout the space.

Make It Midcentury

Green isn’t always one of the first colors to come to mind when you’re considering a midcentury modern design style, but as an earthy tone, it pairs well with many of the classic options like brown, gold, ochre, and other warm neutrals. Opt for a warm shade of green to nail the look.

Play With Patterns

Patterns present a fun opportunity to play with scale and color throughout your space, as seen in this dining room by Michelle Boudreau Design. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different patterns and shades of green for an eclectic and playful look.

Go for a Light Shade

Light, pastel shades of green work well with a variety of different decorating styles and are truly a timeless choice. This dining room by Michelle Boudreau Design pairs a light, muted green with natural wood and off-white for an inviting and relaxing look.

Opt for Green Flooring

Green flooring is a great way to add green to your dining space in a fun and unexpected way, particularly if you are working with a kitchen/dining room combo. Tile is probably the most natural option, but don’t be afraid to explore other choices as well.

Pair Green and Gold

Green and gold make a sophisticated and timeless pairing in any space, and we love this option for dining rooms. Opt for gold fixtures and decor along with green furniture, paint, artwork, or other accents. You truly can’t go wrong.

Add a Green Rug

Finish off your dining room by adding a green rug to bring in some color. We love this affordable and low-commitment option for adding green to your space, particularly if you’re prone to changing up your decor style frequently.
