Whether you are after a bold color to be the focus of your space, or the perfect green to paint all four walls, we have you covered...

'We all know green is a restful color so what better place to put this to practice than by decorating your bedroom in one of its tones,' advises Patrick O’Donnell, color consultant at Farrow & Ball. 'Not only will green help impart the mood of relaxation, but it will create a lovely link to the outdoors.'

Couldn't agree more, and what is a more restful green than a delicious pale sage? It's so light and fresh, almost a neutral that works as a backdrop for more neutral hues like white, cream, and grey. Pair with lighter woods, too, and even touches of black as you see in this bedroom to ground all those pale hues.

And at the opposite end of the spectrum, you have dark, atmospheric greens.  A deep teal paint creates such an atmospheric inviting bedroom, and paired with a blush pink? Dreamy stuff.

'If you want to create an intimate and cozy bedroom idea, emerald green packs a full, but at the same time, understated punch of color. It can transport you to the cool tiled floors of Marrakesh or to the traditional drawing room of a late 18th Century Georgian mansion, and it's being used more and more in interiors today.' Martin Waller, Founder of Andrew Martin.

Smaller bedroom? 'Try decorating on both the walls and the ceiling for a fully immersive experience, this will help blur the boundaries of a room with limited space too.' recommends Patrick O'Donnell.

If a minimalist bedroom idea is a one-way ticket to yawnville, then take a look at this maximalist yellow bedroom idea.

Unapologetic in its 'more is more' motto, the multiple designs by Mind the Gap are for the interior extroverts in us. In true cottagecore style, this yellow bedroom idea is brimming with floral patterns and is shamelessly styled with as many prints and textures as possible.

But don't think you need to shop with the same supplier for your interior finds. By picking up pieces from secondhand retailers on Ebay, flea markets, and garage sales, you can create an authentic look that no one else will have.

The botanical framed prints add an English garden feel while the shabby-chic lampshades at a practical reading light solution whilst you're reading romantic Brit lit in bed.

'Restful spaces will benefit from neutrals or calming blues and greens – I love pale green in bedrooms because it’s contemplative and calming.' says color and paint expert Annie Sloan.  A light, fresh green is also perfect for small bedrooms or bedrooms that don't get natural light all day so need that extra boost of light-enhancing color.

We love how this super light green looks paired with the dark wood in this bedroom, it's the perfect contrast and gives the room a clear focal point.

Olive green seems to be the way to do green right now. It's rich, sophisticated and there are plenty of shades so if dark and dramatic, like this fabulous green bedroom, isn't for you opt for a lighter take. 

Whatever shade you choose, olive works best paired with lighter, brighter hues just to lift that slightly subdued undertone so paint your woodwork white or choose white bedroom accessories if decorating with this increasingly popular green.  

Oooh love a moody grey green – it's the perfect tone for more traditional rooms that need a bit of a modern edge. Used to highlight a wall paneling idea or over woodwork, it instantly gives a cooler feel to a space. 

Pair it with crisp whites to contrast the deep shade and make sure you bring in plenty of bedroom lighting too as this is a green that absorbs light and can look a tad gloomy in the wrong space.

A vibrant teal still brings in those calming vibes that green bedrooms are associated with but is ideal if you want a bold color. We love this room, particularly because of the contrasting shades going on. 

The softness of the pink works perfectly to tone down the contrast of the green and the yellow so the scheme is still daring but isn't too overwhelming for a bedroom either.

Want to add that drama of a deep green but not sure bedroom can all four walls? Add a feature wall idea of deep blue/green to create a more subtly green bedroom. By day, this shade it's light enough to bounce light around; by night, it will deepen to create an intimate feel. Better still, it's a great match for splashes of warm hues like deep yellows, oranges, and pinks.

'One thing I would always avoid is anything too saturated in a bedroom,' says paint and color expert Annie Sloan. 'My bedroom is painted in deep Aubusson Blue and at night-time, it’s the most seductive, soporific, cozy night-sky blue. In the morning as daylight fills the room you can see the green nuances to it.' 

'So I’m still getting my color kick but I’m not trying to go to sleep in a room with a bright green wall shouting at me.'

Add some pattern and some green hues into your space with green bedroom wallpaper. It might be a cliché but green does lend itself to nature-inspired prints – leaves, flowers, woodland motifs – and you will find so many options to suit your style from large banana leaf prints to small, more traditional patterns as you can see in this lovely bedroom.

Pick out the other colors in the paper to create your color scheme and weave them throughout the rest of the room too for a really cohesive look.

Pastel shades aren't just reserved for children's rooms. These soft, soothing colors are perfect for grown-up bedrooms too. 

'Accent colors work really in bedrooms and shades such as pinks and greens produce a really romantic aesthetic and there are many ways in which to create an interplay between the shades, however, my favorite is combining lighter ice-cream shades of these colors,' says Helen Shaw, Director of Benjamin Moore. 

'I love this look in a bedroom as it feels soft and subtle whilst looking fresh and optimistic. It is a great look to wake up to, especially on a sunny morning.'

The key to preventing the room from feeling too... saccharine is to bring in some darker accent colors too, as you can see in this green bedroom with the drawer unit. 

Want a super-easy green bedroom idea that you can do in minutes? Add houseplants. Houseplants count as green home decor, right? If you are renting so can't go painting your walls, or even if you want to keep your bedroom neutral and just add in green as a pop of color plants are the way to go. 

Pop them on a bedside table, hang them from shelves, or pop them in a corner to add interest, texture, and those all-important green hues. If you want to take the color theme further add more green with your throw pillows and sheets too.  

They say green is a color that does you some good. Eat your vegetables and you'll grow up big and strong. While that's somewhat true, we're more in favor of putting a green olive in our martinis, mint in our Mojitos, and lots of lime in our margaritas.

But if you want a cozy bedroom idea to rest your head (especially after those aforementioned drinks), then a khaki bedroom idea for women can provide a calm environment to rest.

Though a green bedroom idea is a neutral scheme that would suit bedrooms for couples, the accent of dusky pink adds a delicate touch of femininity.

Deep dark tones of green that are almost ‘dirty’ in tone are great for creating a cozy feel. Combine them with textured bed pillows that have a lighter shade and blues like indigo, and add balance with a white side table. Fresh flowers and plants will help to add further greens to the mix.

This clever idea creates a focal point above the bed using a green and blue retro print design. The colors are then carried on through to the bedding, the blue tones perfectly with the green and they’re a good pairing to consider if you don’t want an all-green scheme.

A tongue and groove or DIY shiplap wall is such a versatile design feature and it can be painted to give a room a quick update. Make sure you add a similar shade to your bed so the color isn’t just kept on the walls – bring it into the room too. This throw is a great example of how to make it work. 

A great design tip is to paint your radiator the same color too, it will blend in and not become an eye-sore.

Can’t decide which green to go for? Then opt for many – yes really, you can mix 4-5 shades together very successfully as shown here in this cozy-looking bedroom featuring MissPrint’s Skylark wallpaper. Rebecca Drury, co-founder of MissPrint explains:

‘From the dark and deep Hunters Green to the calm and relaxing tones of Soft Sage Green, there should be a shade of green for every interior space. Nature-inspired prints, featuring foliage and plants are also key to this trend. It is all about bringing the outside in, with the intention of helping us focus on wellbeing, mindfulness, and feeling calmer.’

A beautiful fabric design encased in a panel can be the starting point of your whole green bedroom scheme, as Caroline Brackett, principal designer and owner of Caroline Brackett Design explains:

‘Don’t stress about everything matching, there are many elements of this room that don’t technically match, but they work together in a harmonious way to make the space more interesting. We pulled colors out of the Chinoiserie panels to come up with the color scheme. Look in unexpected places for color palette inspiration.’

This lovely color has a little bit of yellow in it hence the warm glow it emits. It’s always worth delving into the shades you want to try as some will make your bedroom feel cool, others warm. This shade is ideal for a low ceilinged space that’s North facing. The white adds contrast and keeps the look balanced, team with earthy shades of ochre and oatmeal for a cozy feel. 

It might be that the thought of an all green scheme sends a shiver down your spine – that’s okay, you can go for the minimalist accent feature instead. An olive green bed in a white room will create an instant focal point that will be eye-catching without being overbearing. 

Black accents add an extra dimension – and the white walls act as a blank canvas so you can add as much green as you like. 

A dark color will anchor a scheme especially if the rest of the walls are white or cream. It can be the basis of the bedroom’s look and you can use it as your starting point. Add in earthy textures like an upholstered headboard and rattan side table and look for patterned rugs, blankets and bed pillows. 

Not for the faint-hearted, but fabulous nonetheless, this small-scale green wallpaper design is for those who adore pattern. 

To make this work you need balance – a white framed bed and bedding, white wall light and artwork all do this. Then, pick up the green shade with a woven blanket, this will tie the look together, and choose a design that has a larger scale pattern than the wallpaper. 

There’s something beautiful about muted tones of color, and this tropical-inspired green bedroom shows you how to do it perfectly. 

The starting point is oatmeal and white – a blank canvas as you will that you can change up easily with cushions and artwork. Muted tones are easy to live with too and if you want to pep it up a little go for a bright teal.

'We love to pair green with neutrals like brown and grey for an earthy look. It can also contrast nicely with white for a bright, clean style,' says Lindye Galloway, founder and chief creative officer of Lindye Galloway Studio + Shop.

This green gray wallpaper has a graphic design that you may not consider normally, but here, in this fresh white bedroom idea it works a treat.
