Start small. Opt for an accent wall in green and add a few green accents. Painting a large, bright space in a rich dark green can make the room feel cozy and moody at the same time. Painting light, pale shades of green in a naturally brightly lit room can help it feel fresh throughout the day. Paint walls in a soft green and use wood and other natural accents to accentuate the color. Dark saturated green looks beautiful on cabinets against neutral walls and sage green cabinets are stunning against bright white walls. Kitchen and dining room walls look stunning painted in a soft, light green-gray tone. Green with blue undertones is calming and relaxing and best used in bedrooms.
