Wall paint green: Ideas & tips for painting

Which rooms is green wall paint suitable for?

A green colour is suitable for the walls of any room. Green wall paint always brings nature into our homes. You can design a living room wonderfully with a shade of green.

You can either use a light shade for all the walls, such as a delicate pastel green or a green with light grey tones such as Green with Sage, or you can use an expressive colour such as Green with Forest or Green with Teal on a single wall. Dark green wall paint creates a great effect for any furniture placed in front of it. Pictures of all kinds also look good against an accent wall in dark green.

In the bedroom, a shade of green can radiate calm and convey a sense of security. Shades of green ensure relaxation and a good night's sleep.

Green can also be a very appetising colour in the kitchen. It's best to work with fresh, clear colours here. Green with Apple is one such colour shade, as is Green with Glass.

The walls in the dining room can also be wonderfully coloured in shades of green. Wall paints with a yellow tint, such as Green with Birch, are recommended here. The dining room is a room where people like to spend time and the colour shades in this room should be mood-lifting and conducive to conversation. By painting with light and friendly shades of green, you can create an inviting atmosphere in any dining room.

The study is another room that can benefit from green colour. The wall paint in the study should be a rather light, restrained colour shade. Green wall paints with light grey tones such as Green with Sage are well suited. However, colours that combine green tones with a blue component also create an atmosphere that promotes concentration.

In the children's room, a shade of green can break the monotony of pink and sky blue. 2 colours in soft green are available from LittlePomp chalk paints: Green & Gentle and Green & Magical. Paint colours from nature in the children's room!

Green as a wall paint: a question of the right mix

There is a reason why green colours are popular wall paints for designing the rooms in which we live and want to live. Green is always created by mixing yellow and blue pigments. We associate green with a combination of mental clarity and optimism, which comes from the yellow colour component, and emotional calm and insight from the blue colour component. In colour psychology, green therefore stands for balance and harmony.

If you want to design a room in a shade of green, there are many nuances of green colour available to you. Depending on whether you use a shade of green with brown components such as Green with Mud or one with grey components such as Green with Sage, or a green such as Green with Ocean, which with its blue components is more akin to aqua tones - the same room has a completely different effect each time thanks to the different wall paint.

How is green colour used on the wall?

The first thing you need to do is decide between the many colour shades and nuances of green. Within the green wall paint colour scheme, you should consider the purpose of the room that is to receive a new wall paint. A hallway without windows will certainly get a different colour than a single wall in a room where you spend a lot of time. How light the colour shade should be depends very much on the lighting in the room.

Once you have decided which shade you want to paint the wall in, the colour can be applied to the substrate, which is usually the plaster. However, the green colour can also be used on other surfaces, such as woodchip or other textured wallpaper. Use a paint roller to apply the colours. A brush is required for corners and angles.

Living styles and trends in shades of green

Everyone relaxes when they are out in nature. So why not paint the walls of your home with colours from nature? That way, you can bring a little nature into your own home.

Green tones go particularly well with natural woods. Whether you have a mid-century style interior or a sophisticated country house style, you can emphasise your individual interior design style with one of the many shades of green. Even a completely modern, minimalist living style with glass and chrome can be given a softer, cosier atmosphere with green.
