20 Dark Green Bedroom Ideas for the Most Soothing Sleeping Space
In today's world of wearable technology and cell phone addictions, it's essential that the space we wind down in offers something soothing, serene, and even somewhat escapist. Our advice to achieving that? Bring in dark green. Crowned one of 2025's biggest color trends, dark green is predicted to be the 'it' color of the year. And while it may be having a moment, its timeless elegance is sure to show staying power long beyond the trend forecasters are barking up another tree.
A bedroom with notes of green—whether it's a serene forest green, a posh emerald jewel tone, or something more muddy and indefinable—is a cocooning retreat that calls to your inner nature-lover. But don't think you have to own 200 different bedroom plants to qualify for such a color (though we're impressed if you do). A green bedroom can be chic, sophisticated, and elegant. Just ask Augusta Hoffman, who's go-to palette is a tonal range of subdued greens, creams, and ochers. "I do love green," she says. "I think of it almost as a neutral.”
Ready to transform your sleep space? Below, we've culled the ELLE DECOR archives for our favorite dark green bedrooms. Finally, you have incentive to put away that phone and catch some blessed zzzz's.
Sage-Gray Bedroom
Leave it to Veere Grenney to make the most of this muted, gray-green color. In this stately London townhouse, the designer brought in contrasting red, floral textiles for a look that's as soothing as it is playful.
Soft Green Limewash
We love a limewash, and this green version, which Bauwerk Color describes as "perfect moody khaki," transformed the bedroom (and beyond) of this California home, designed by Studio Muka. The texture of the treatment adds a softness to the olive tone.
Inside-Outside Green
The foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains offer a respite that few would want to leave. Except, that is, when the indoors are equally verdant. In the bedroom of landscape architect Thomas Woltz's Victorian home, elegant, vintage-inspired furnishings get a lovely green backdrop befitting of its surroundings.
Ethereal Green Bedroom
The charming bedroom of this edgy Victorian house is brought to life by an ethereal dark green hue, which adds a refreshing and calming touch to the space. Minimalist furnishings keep the design simple yet sophisticated.
Smoky Green Bedroom
If you need further proof that green is the new black, look no further than our favorite paint company: Farrow & Ball announced that it's adding 12 new paint colors to its palette—and it's a green party. We're especially obsessed with Douter, a smoky grey-green tone that was inspired by the soot and tarnished brass of a traditional candle snuffer. BRB, we're redoing our bedroom again.
Farrow & Ball
Another fine green that Farrow & Ball recently released is this sultry hue, which they dubbed Reduced Green. The green pigment in this dark neutral is undefinable in all the right ways—some see brown, while others see green.
Green Wallpaper
The primary bedroom in a historic Washington, D.C. home features a floral wallpaper by William Morris that is everything. It flaunts many variations of green that mimic the outside world. The gold accents add a refined touch.
Green Bedroom Oasis
We're angling for an invite to this Beverly Hills home, which designer Michael S. Smith doused in a lovely deep green and created a total bedding oasis that ensconces the lucky guest sleeping here.
Green Patterns
Patterns for days in this charming bedroom in Vermont. Leave it to designer Sheila Bridges to infuse a space with warmth and character—in superfluous amounts of dark green. The wallpaper's darker green pattern is infused with a brighter, botanical green headboard. We're in heaven!
Old World Green Room
In a Vermont home, of course, one can't settle for just one green room. Here, Bridges opted for a less pattern in the form of Farrow & Ball's Green Blue. When set against a walnut and iron four-poster-bed and a contemporary watercolor (by Katie DeGroot), it's the kind of room you look forward to at the end of every day.
Go Green
Not ready to commit to a green room? In this Soho loft, an olive green bed is the star of the show against a bright white backdrop. It's dreamy, it's earthy, and it's colorful‚ all at the same time.
Nap-friendly Guest Bedroom
This bucolic cottage in Amagansett, New York was designed with one thing in mind: naps. “We want a place where we can nap anywhere,” the husband told designer Melissa Lee. Mission accomplished in this guest bedroom, which features a soft wallpaper palette—Middlemore in sage by William Morris—that plays well with the pale sage wainscoting. We're convinced a nap is in order!
Jubilant Green Bedroom
Green doesn't have to always induce instant drowsiness. Take this flamboyant Miami beach house, for instance, which features a guest bedroom of green with pops of ruby red. Dreamy, in every sense of the word.
Jewel-Toned Bedroom
We're loving this jewel-toned take on green, which gives this Parisian loft an elegant aesthetic. The wall is sheathed in a CMO Paris raffia that contrasts against the teal lacquer.
Forest Green Bedroom
Waking up in this Seattle-area home might be something akin to awaking on a forest floor—albeit much more comfortable. This wallcovering, a rich green by sloan Miyasato, is cocooning, textured, and all one ever needs to escape to when you're done doomscrolling on your phone.
Green Accents
Another chic touch involves trim. In this Upper East Side apartment, designer Augusta Hoffman gave this cream-colored bedroom a pop of saturated sage green trim.
Playful Green Bedroom
Leave it to Gil Schafer and Miles Redd to approach green with a no-holds-barred approach. In this classic-yet-colorful Hudson Valley country house, the duo gave this bedroom a soothing green backdrop in a canopy of silk.
Double-Bed Bedroom
Nearly every room in this Colorado house is green-themed. But this bedroom is one of our favorite vignettes. “This room is unusually big, so we placed the two king-size beds across from each other,” explains ELLE DECOR A-List designer Mark D. Sikes. The headboards are upholstered in a coordinating green Pierre Frey’s Toiles de Tours fabric.
Botanical Green Bedroom
When the Gucci wallpaper is flaunting green botanicals, a green bed is the perfect foil. As seen in the bedroom of this cozy Manhattan apartment, green can be equally chic and hot.
Earth-Toned Bedroom
This green bedroom exudes tranquility and connection with nature, complete with wood accents and a nightstand plant. It's simply dripping in cozy ambiance.
