This beloved verdant hue can be styled with so many other shades.
If you've been keeping track of what's trending when it comes to color in the interior design world, then you know that this is the time for rich, saturated hues to fully step into the spotlight. Though you'll find oxbloods, aubergines, and atmospheric blues in the mix, basically every color prediction for 2025 and 2026 has a shade of green in the forefront. From the current dill green craze to the martini olive green obsession, this verdant hue can be found on essentially every design mood board. If you, too, are looking for unique ways to infuse this earthy tone into your home, you should know of the designer-favorite colors that go with green to ensure your home feels less trendy and more timeless.
When looking at what colors go with green, it's good to know what overall feeling you want your home (or a specific room) to evoke before you start planning your palette. For a boutique, lounge-like feel in your home bar or music room, pairing a deep teal with other jewel tones like ruby and sapphire would capture the mood. If you want something a bit more cottagecore, try a pale green and ivory color scheme. And for something more midcentury, an olive tone with deep brown will look so elevated.
For designer inspiration on colors that go with green, keep reading. We've curated a list of 37 images that are sure to spark your creativity.

Leading to the powder room, Heather French of French & French Interiors chose a rich green paint for the door trim and a tan patterned wallcovering for the outside. The painted trim makes the space feel more inviting and personal as it brings out the nature-inspired elements in the wallcovering and powder room.
The dark teal chairs and chocolate brown patterned banquette in French's dining room balance out the lightness of the walls. If there were any more of either color, this gathering space might feel too heavy visually. But together with the white walls, it feels both luxe and inviting.
Designer Hannah Ozburn loves bold colors, and the forest green walls paired with the pink furniture pieces, ranging from pastel to hot pink, really make a statement. They're two hues you might not put together immediately, but they feel so warm and elevated here.
The high-gloss green in this kitchen, designed by Palmer Weiss, is a stark contrast to the matte ivory tone that covers the ceiling. The white on the ceiling makes the room look taller, and the deep verdant shade ties in colors from the chairs and the leaves outside the window.
The pale green walls and golden brown furnishings in designer Serena Dugan's family room bring the colors of nature inside. These shades together create a very comfortable yet grand space.
Though designer Amber Lewis says this muddy green color isn't the most appealing on a swatch, it looks so lovely and relaxing when used to drench a whole room. To add a splash of coolness to the interior, she added this sea foam blue couch. It doubles down on the serenity of the space.
Without the green stools in this bar area by Kelly Hurliman, it could easily feel a little flat. However, the combination of the rose marble, the deep brown wood tone from the island, and the light green velvet stools creates a beautiful focal point from the living room.
Designer Alison Giese created the ultimate moody setting in this library by using both a blue-leaning teal on the walls and a green-leaning teal for the chair. She detailed the space with black sconces, dark natural wood, and brass finishes.
In the daughter's bedroom, Giese wanted to create a cottagecore space, using a floral wallpaper as the base. Thanks to the leaves in the print, the wallcovering gives off a dominant green tone from far away, which looks perfectly feminine and elevated with the dusty rose and pale blue colors also found in the room.
This living room by Colordrunk Designs is far from lacking in color, though the most common tones in the space are lime green, a rich blue, and a pale pink. Since they're all so bold, none of the hues are fighting for the spotlight, as they all balance each other out quite well.
This primary bedroom, designed by Sarah Stacey, was inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with metallic lacquer. The deep green and gold wallcovering sets the palette for the entire space, resulting in a regal, serene, and bold bedroom.
In this bedroom by Sawyers Design, the team went with hues less saturated than the rest of the home, pulling in soft greens and peaches to hold down this space. It's a very relaxed space, and though there are more warm tones in the room with the peach and light browns, the green is so shocking that it helps to balance out the palette.
While this stunning green wallcovering looks gorgeous on its own, the periwinkle details in this dining room by Kipling House Interiors make it feel so enchanting. From the inside of the hutch to the chinoiserie vases on top to the flowers on the table, the pale blue with the deep green is so romantic.
This lounge space by Kipling House Interiors has a feminine and sophisticated look, in part thanks to the lavender and avocado details. The two hues can easily look juvenile if they're in more saturated shades, but they look extremely put-together in this room.
In this dark aubergine colored bunk room, vivid yellows and dark greens stand out. By using the darker tone on the walls and ceiling, designer Lindsay Rhodes created a calming space for little visitors, but brought in some playfulness that can be found throughout the rest of the home with the green stripes and yellow florals.
While beige and olive green always look beautiful next to each other, the neutral pillows on this vivid couch allow the sectional to shine. By the team at Sugarhouse Design & Architecture, the large seating area evokes nature and serves as a bold statement piece.
The more subdued green and blues in this breakfast nook by Sugarhouse Design & Architecture make the space feel casual yet elevated. Along with the natural wooden finishes throughout, the space has a homey vibe, but the gold hardware adds just a touch of glam.
Green can be both traditional and experimental. Here, Katie Rosenfeld doubled-up patterns to help things feel cohesive. The designer used the same floral pattern for the sofa and drapes, as well as a cheetah print on the carpet and throw pillow. The springy green paint is the same hue seen on the striped ottoman. If you love this look but prefer something a touch more modern, try this formula but swap traditional prints for edgy, modern photography or an abstract painting.
If you're here scouring for ideas about what to pair with plants and not just green decor, then take note of this nature-inspired color palette where greenery takes center stage. Designers Joey Meyers and Mark Baehser gave this New Jersey Victorian a modern refresh with bold color combinations and modern pieces that also incorporate the outdoors. The paint color, Java by Sherwin-Williams, pairs beautifully with the yellow stained glass and yellow planter, which props up a healthy monstera.
Designer Elizabeth Hay embraces the unique millwork in this bedroom by playing up the farmhouse whimsy with tons of patterns in a color palette of red and sage. “We used a lot of wallpaper in the bedrooms to make them feel cozy and add color and pattern without making any structural changes,” says Hay. Here, she installed Aleta Pise wallpaper.
