An important point when designing an apartment is the choice of wallpaper. Many people try to choose neutral colors that are typical of the classic style, for example, beige, white, brown. After all, it’s not at all difficult to choose furniture and various accessories for such wallpaper. But recently it has become very fashionable to use bright or, conversely, calm colors to decorate rooms, which will add uniqueness and modernity to the room. One of these colors is green. However, you need to consider in which room the wallpaper of this color is planned and whether it will suit the chosen style.
Features of color and its shades
Green is the color of nature, which is associated with calm, life, youth, harmony. In psychology, it refers to colors that develop willpower, naturalness, and constancy. The organs of vision are most inclined to perceive the color green; the eyes rest at the sight of its shades.
All tones of green can be divided into warm and cold (muted, closer to blue). There are delicate, light, dark, bright shades.
- Dark wallpaper (malachite color, emerald) is closer to classicism, romanticism, baroque style, creating harmony and pleasure in silence.
- Pale green creates a light country, Provence atmosphere in the bedroom and kitchen.
- Bright colors (chartreuse, turquoise, light green) are suitable for modern styles and eclecticism.
The following shades are most often found in the interior:
- chartreuse;
- light green;
- pistachio;
- olive;
- turquoise;
- emerald;
- aquamarine.
In addition to these, shades such as lime, myrtle, khaki, jade, fern, and herbal are also used.
Minimalism
If you like spacious, calm and simple bedrooms, you should choose a minimalist or Scandinavian style. To do this, you need to use only muted tones: white, gray, coffee, khaki, mint, and olive or malachite as the main one. To relieve boredom a little, you can use small decorative items in bright colors and use them to fence off functional areas.
Light and simple design option in minimalist style
Design
Wallpaper differs not only in color palette, but also in pattern, imitation, and texture. When choosing, you need to take into account the functional purpose of the room, its size, future style and your own wishes.
Plain wallpaper
They will serve as a background for other interior items, for example, patterned curtains, upholstery with embroidery, a carpet with an ornament, paintings. You also don’t have to stick with plain wallpaper; you can combine them with patterned or contrasting ones.
Wallpaper with a pattern
Suitable for simple furniture and interiors without much decor. The wealth of design choices will help you find the right option.
Wallpaper with flowers, plant themes, foliage are suitable for the bedroom, living room. Flowers can be gold, white, black, painted or imprinted. Drawings of birds or animals will be especially interesting for children of primary school age.

Green striped wallpaper acts as an eye trainer and also functions to visually change the space. Stripes can be narrow, wide, vertical and horizontal, colored or plain. Vertical wide stripes make the room taller, while horizontal stripes make the room wider.
Patterns
They make the interior more full and interesting. Green patterned wallpaper can also be combined with other plain wallpaper. A geometric pattern can be curly, floral, or in the form of a continuous line. Geometric patterns are always regular and repeating.
Wallpaper with monograms or interlacing of curls is more often found in Baroque or Rococo style interiors, combined with plain curtains or echoing the upholstery. Monograms come in different sizes, so wallpaper may be appropriate in other styles.
The damask ornament in the interior is found in classical and modern interiors; it is a flower with intertwined leaves, which is repeated in vertical stripes.

Wallpaper with imitation
Wallpaper with imitation brick, tile, masonry, fabric, plaster allows you to save time on work, as well as the budget. Vinyl wallpaper with a brick and stone look is more often used for the interior of hallways and corridors, stairs or kitchens.
Fabric wallpaper is used for the design of the living room and bedroom, marked by tints and play of shades in the sun.
Liquid or plastered wallpaper hides wall defects and consists of natural raw materials, glitter and silk threads.
3D Wallpaper
They can be used in spacious rooms, most often a kitchen, a children's room, a living room, where it is possible not to cover the wall with furniture. An accent wall in the interior can be depicting mountain waterfalls, a landscape, a reproduction of a painting, illusionary geometry, or fairy tale characters.
Decor items
Correctly placed accents play a significant role, as they can change the room beyond recognition. Such decorative items can be pillows, lamps, bedspreads, souvenirs, paintings. They should be in small quantities and look harmonious with the overall style of the room. Fresh flowers or an unusual panel will attract the eye and awaken the imagination.
It is important to remember about lighting. In a green and white bedroom, the light should not be too bright, since the room itself is quite bright. You should not use yellow lamps, as they will distort the overall impression of the interior.
A little gloss in decorative details won't hurt
A little advice! To decorate a white and green bedroom, you do not need to use shiny surfaces and glossy paint; it is better to choose soft materials with a complex texture, for example, fabric or porous. You should also maintain a balance between bright and dark colors, regardless of the main shade.
A soft palette of green will help create a relaxing atmosphere in the room.
A color scheme
Wallpaper in the interior can be not only monochromatic, but also combine two complementary colors.
Gray-green
Suitable for the interior of a bedroom, living room, hallway. These can be gray patterns on a green background, a pattern or stripes.

They fill the room with light, both colors complement each other and are associated with nature.

Tropical
The main motif of the “tropical” style is a combination of wood and green shades, as well as the use of straw, bamboo, tree branches and other natural elements. In such a bedroom you will feel as if you are on the coast of an exotic island or in a shady jungle.
On a note! The use of ethnic motifs in decor is encouraged, for example, wooden figurines from Asia, unusual African masks or colonial-style accessories.
A rich white canopy will come in handy here, as will a palm tree in a tub, and not necessarily a live one. The plant will be the finishing touch to your little tropical paradise.

Horizontal arrangement of different wallpapers
Example No. 18
Today, this method is simply morally outdated - this is hello from the first European-quality renovations of the nineties. Then the first companions and paper borders appeared on sale. The very squeak of fashion. But today there are simply no good modern examples of such a combination of wallpaper. I named it so that the list is complete, for information. You'll just know it's there, but keep in mind that it's best not to use it for the next 50 years.

Bedroom

Green bedroom - what accessories to choose?
Light or dark green in the bedroom is a pretty strong accent color, but it's still worth adding variety to the arrangement. Plants are great for the bedroom, but watch out for species that suck up oxygen at night. Aloe vera works well if the interior is not too large. In a spacious bedroom, use dracaena.
Both a dark green bedroom and a room with a mint accent will delight in the arrangement if you hang frames on the walls. You can fill them out in a variety of ways, such as graphics that you can print out yourself. The piece of wallpaper that adorns the wall opposite will also be presented in a frame. You can rely on the classic solution in the form of travel photos.
Use the rug as decoration. Multicolor designs with abstract motifs are also popular. Choose an area rug that has part of the color scheme that matches other colors in the arrangement, such as the shade of the walls.
Don't forget about curtains that will decorate the space and provide you with privacy. Choose thick fabric so you can fall asleep easily despite outside lamps or morning sunlight. Curtains can be plain, but if the arrangement seems too boring, choose a patterned one. Plants or geometric shapes - such motifs can make a green bedroom more interesting.
Green bedroom - what additions to choose for variety?
- Plants such as aloe or dracaena
- Frames with photographs, graphics or a piece of wallpaper decorating one of the walls,
- Rug with abstract pattern
- Curtains - smooth or patterned.
Frames with photographs or pictures or dried plants will allow you to decorate a green bedroom.
