I love it when one room peeks through from the other room like in this classy Swedish home. You can close the doors for privacy, yet when they are open the space looks a lot bigger.
In this space the effect becomes even stronger because of the dark grey walls in the bedroom, combined with the crisp white ones in the living room. I think the dark grey walls combine very nicely with the pink bedsheets* as well, don’t you think ?
I think this warm grey color on the bedroom walls of this place have such a warm yet slightly moody effect on the vibe of this room. The white painted vintage cabinet, white bedside lamps and the white linen curtains* really stand out against the warm grey walls.
The grey bedspread*, combined with the crisp white linen bedsheets* and the beautiful pattern on the pillow match this look perfectly and the green of the plants in the window really pops out as well.
Wether light or dark grey, with a warm or cold undertone, grey is a really nice option for your bedroom walls. It’s not such a commitment as any other color and it’s a relatively safe choice (always sample test though). A grey wall gives you the freedom to work with colored textiles as well, which is one of the easiest ways to update up any room and change the look.
This bedroom has very light grey walls, which combines perfectly with the warm tints coming from the String shelf in wood, the vintage leather armchair and the mustard bedsheets. I think this combination of grey and natural tints looks very elegant and cozy.
Green bedsheets is not something that you see often, but it works so well in this cozy bedroom. Combined with white pillows and a soft grey blanket, it makes the entire look a bit softer.

A beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden that is filled with the most amazing daylight coming from those old curved windows. The living room features a large oval dining table with oak wood &Tradition ‘In Between’ chairs and a lovely combination of beige linen curtains* with a beige linen table cloth*. The clean white kitchen is minimal, yet shines in its’ simplicity. The second dining table here is all white as well and I love the subtle natural accents throughout all the white softening out the kitchen. The bedroom has been painted in a subtle green color, which is matched up with the same green tint in the bedding and a beautiful gallery wall above the bed.
A characterful apartment with many colorful elements for a personal effect. Throughout this apartment, you can find some very bold color choices that work surprisingly well together. The living room combines a yellow sofa with a sky blue armchair and a whole mix of different colors in the gallery wall. While the kitchen has a very calm and subtle design itself, it has been enhanced by a series of beautiful accessories in multiple colors to make this a happy place to gather. I love that the kitchen is built on the lower part only and the wall space has been filled with both artworks and narrow open shelving to display small items. The bedroom has been painted in yellow, combined with a lavender duvet cover* on the bed and a mixture of many different colors in the art prints and accessories.
A wonderful loft home on two floors with the original elements of the old architecture shining through. The old wooden beams have been kept in their original color, which has been matched up with an elegant interior decor with accents of blue among a neutral palette. The black kitchen contrasts nicely against the light hardwood flooring and the light grey walls and I love that the dining area on the opposite side of the kitchen has been kept white with a few subtle blue accents.
A beautiful turn-of-the-century home with a warm greige wall color and black and brown accents. The combined living and dining room features a rectangular dining table in front of those big windows, which stands out nicely because of the black dining chairs. The adjacent bedroom has a calm and tranquil look with the grey walls and the beige and white textiles on the bed. Both rooms look very balanced and since you can look from one room into the other, it’s nice that the color palettes match each other.

A beautiful apartment with a light living area and a large dining table in front of the windows combined with vintage bentwood chairs and subtle touches of pink, red,and lavender. The warm color palette of the living area contrast so nicely with the dark deep blue wall color of the bedroom. The bedroom lays in between the living room and the kitchen, which are both light and bright and by having a darker color in the middle room, you distinguish the rooms from each other in a nice way.
A beautiful light flooded turn-of-the-century Swedish home with marvelous details on the doorways, ceilings, and windows and a custom-built glass partition to divide the bedroom and the dining area. This glass partition gives a little bit of privacy (the curtains can be closed to completely separate the two areas) without losing the feeling of spaciousness.
A beautiful apartment with a massive window in the living room from which you can enjoy the view of the city. I love the contrast between the light palette of the sofa area, with the darker palette of the dining area, which is enhanced by the large deep brown artwork on the wall. The dark brown kitchen combined with the small dining area in front of the window here looks very cozy and inviting as well and even though the layout of the kitchen is rather strange, it works like a charm.
A beautiful apartment with white walls and natural wood accents for a light and tranquil look. I love the open shelving with a desk in the living area, which features a little home office as well. The kitchen has a subtle green and grey palette and the living room leads up to the light and airy bedroom where the old fireplace can keep you warm.
Darker wall colors in a bedroom can be quite a bold choice, however, dark green paint combines deep tones with the soothing and fresh element a green palette brings to the table resulting in a bold yet balanced interior palette.
You can style your dark green bedroom with contrasting lighter textiles, or pair your green walls with dark green curtains to lean into the darker, moody effect.
When you are thinking about adding a dark green bedroom to your own home, this post is for you. Below, you can find a list of the most inspiring dark green bedroom ideas that feature a variety of different dark green wall colors paired with different finishes in the textiles and soft furnishings.
A moody bedroom with dark green walls and warm beige tones
Let’s kick things off with the darkest of the green bedroom ideas on this list, shall we? The dark green bedroom walls contrast against the light architectural features of the space and add depth to the setting.
The beige and brown tones in the curtains, throw pillows and blanket make the room feel like a warm and cozy retreat at the same time, a balance perfectly achieved by the interior designer of this apartment.
A darker shade of olive green in a turn-of-the-century bedroom
The dark olive green walls in this bedroom enhance the interior design of the space and accentuate the ornate historic detailing in the room’s architecture. The elegant paint color on the wall is paired with a beige throw pillow mix, an off-white linen headboard, and a lovely texture on the beige blanket on the bed.
The subtle black and white art print and the simple black wall lights add a bit of contrast to the green bedroom design and the green branch on the bedside table brings out the fresh element the paint color adds.
A green bedroom color with yellow undertones paired with dark tones in the decor
The yellow undertones in this green paint have a warming effect on the design of the space, while also adding a fresh element to the interior. The black details on the bedside table, art prints, light fixtures, and textiles add a beautiful contrast to the setting and the white textiles add a lighter touch to the color palette.
A dark green-grey wall color paired with beige bedsheets in a rattan lamp
With walls this dark, you can almost compare it with a dark grey or black bedroom, however, the green tones add just a bit more sophistication to the setting. The green-grey wall paint in this bedroom contrasts nicely with the white-soaped hardwood flooring and with the white ceilings.
The grey curtains and the dark wall art above the bed enhance the darker tones in the room, while the beige bedding and the natural rattan pendant light create a natural decor balance in the bedroom interior.
White furniture and curtains stand out in a dark green bedroom
The white fabric curtains and the white sideboard stand out against the dark green paint color in this bedroom in a powerful way. The pink, brown, and orange tones in the artwork, bedding, and the cozy rug by the end of the bed create a warm and inviting setting and the green plants bring out the fresh undertones in the green paint.
Whether you want to paint your whole bedroom green or rather work with an accent wall, a dark green color will always make an impressive effect. In this cozy bedroom, a dark green accent wall is paired with white paint for a more modest effect.
The black lamps above the bed add a darker tone to the setting, while the fresh green plants bring out the green in the wall.
Green bedrooms created with a feature wall are a bit easier to try out for those of you who are unsure or change your mind easily about a new paint color.
Cream, white, and beige shades finish a gorgeous green bedroom
The green shade used in this gorgeous space with warm hardwood flooring is paired with cream colors in the white bedding, the feather lamp, and the decor pieces for a high contrast look finished off with bright white curtains.

A partial dark green color to separate a sleeping area in a studio apartment
In this studio apartment, a feature wall in a dark green tone separates the sleeping area from the rest of the small space. Painting a part of the space in a different color is a great way to divide a studio apartment and working with a darker shade makes this effect even better.
When you look for inspiration and advice on how to design a small room, you will usually get the recommendation to use lighter paint colors. A darker green color in a small bedroom like this one will have a unique effect especially because of the small surface, where the floor plan will enhance the dramatic effect of the color in the space.
A dark shade like this, however, can work in small rooms that get ample natural light. If you are working with a small and dark bedroom floor plan, it might be better to opt for a lighter shade.
Fresh dark green bedroom walls paired with dark grey textiles and gold accents
The clean lines of this modern bedroom are accentuated by the gorgeous fresh dark green room color. The sheer dark grey curtains and the dark grey bedding pair nicely with the dark photograph above the bed.
The white fabric pendant light and the white bedside tables lighten up the color palette and the bright table lamp paired with the gold wall lamps above the bed finish the look of this green bedroom nicely.

This is my personal favorite of the dark green bedrooms on the list, as the deep dark green color on the wall in this dream home accentuates the ornate crown molding on the ceiling and the beautiful white historic doors that are located on either side of the bed in this green bedroom.
The deep green paint is paired with a mixture of light grey and beige bedding and an off-white area rug at the end of the bed. The black and white art print and the white pendant light seem to jump out of the background created by the dark green bedroom wall.
Green-grey on the walls and ceilings in this bedroom with an asymmetrical floor plan

The beautiful light grey bedroom walls form the perfect backdrop for a contrasting black side table next to the bed, white sheer linen curtains on the windows and a beautiful white fabric lampshade above the bed. The bed is made with a mixture of beige and white linen bedsheets that add a lot of texture to the decor.
The wardrobe is painted in the same color as the wall, for a subtle and integrated effect.
Greige paint colors are a perfect choice for a calm and tranquil look in the bedroom. Greige, a.k.a gray-beige is a very warm gray that can be perceived as beige depending on the warmth of the natural light coming into a room.
Greige is a neutral wall color that is neither too warm nor too cold, which makes it easy to combine with other colors in your bedroom decor. It’s a great wall color choice for a neutral look that has a little something more than just off-white walls and greige paint colors have been increasingly popular over the past few years exactly for this reason.
