Decorating Tips For Green Walls In Formal Dining Room

Sophia Amoruso house

Roger Davies

In broadcasting, a green room is a waiting area before the talent takes centerstage. But in the case of these 32 spectacular spaces, the green room is the main event. Green is a shade that springs with and natural vitality and effervescence, and perhaps because of its roots in nature, it's also supremely versatile. Soft shades sing in sweet, personal zones, while bolder shades can add an untamed elegance. Here's to going green.

Hunter Walls

In the den of this Bedford, New York country home, exposed beams and raw-wood doors provide an earthy contrast to the walls and stairway, which are covered in a rich hunter green.

All Artichoke

In that very same upstate escape, a sunroom outfitted in a soft artichoke tone feels serene when paired with wicker accents and drenched in natural light.

Tonal Turquoise

With this adept use of jewel-tones, it's probably no surprise that the decorator and owner of this Chicago apartment used to be a vintage jewelry collector and seller. While the walls of this bathroom are painted in the mild aqua of Farrow & Ball's Teresa's Green, the contrasting high-gloss turquoise trim lends a moody, aquatic feel.

Upstairs/Downstairs Wallpaper

Not only does Ken Fulk's Sonoma lake house have a double-height salon with a saloon-like bar (right) and a mezzanine, but he also outfitted both spaces in a green floral wallcovering by Schumacher. The effect is space that is at once cohesive and expansive.

Accented Jade

In this San Francisco bachelor pad, walls, radiators, ceiling and trim are painted "Very Green" by Benjamin Moore. It's a cohesive surprisingly soothing look. Black accents—floor-to-ceiling shelves, an Eames chair—work to break-up the verdant expanse.

Olive Leather

One reason this leathered olive accent wall in this TriBeCa loft works so well is actually because of the contrasting ceiling—it's Benjamin Moore's Bison Brown. The muted tone makes a sharp backdrop for art and accessories in warmer tones.

Proof that green tones play well together? In Sophia Amoruso's Los Angeles kitchen, open shelving in a citron tone sings next to pistachio stools and an entry wall in a forest shade.

Green Lacquer

In Andy Cohen's New York apartment, the living room doors are painted in a custom green lacquer and the vintage French club chairs are from Blackman Cruz. The architect on the project, Gordon Kahn, designed a custom staircase in glass, walnut, and steel to link the two floors.

Green Sunroom

In the small sitting room of a Nashville home, the sunroom's sofa and armchairs are upholstered in a canvas duck, which brightens up the dark green room. The Regency library chair is covered in the same Quadrille cotton stripe as the Roman shades.

Green Living Room

In a vibrant Brazilian apartment, green sets the scene for a storied living room. The pair of Louis XV fauteuils and a circa-1930 Chinese rug are family heirlooms. The 19th-century chandelier is French and the Brazilian cocktail tables are from the 1960s.

Green And Red Stripes

In the same Brazilian apartment, the dining room is characterized by green with accents of bright red. The English dining table, bought in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1980s, and chairs, found at a Paris flea market in the '90s, are all 19th century, as is the chandelier by Saint-Louis. The silver-frame mirror is Peruvian, the silver-plate console is Indian and the circa-1930 rug is Chinese.
