Let us dwell on the main options for green, which are most often used in modern design projects:
Dark green wallpaper - The most traditional finish. The classic interior takes on a special depth and sophistication with dark-colored wallpaper. Lovers of peace, harmony, tranquility and sophisticated luxury surround themselves with the use of deep green shades. For baroque styles, classicism and neo-classic it is logical to use shades of green present in the following stones:
- malachite;
- emerald;
- tourmaline.
Light green wallpaper - the most versatile finishing option that can be used both in the bedroom or spacious kitchen, and in utilitarian rooms (hallways, bathrooms, corridors and bathrooms). For almost any stylistic direction, you can choose your own light shade of green, which will not only look harmoniously as a full or partial wall decoration, but will also become its decoration, a highlight.
Pale green wallpaper, canvases in pastel colors green peppermint colors will look organically even in small rooms. Country style, Provence, shabby chic and romantic are easily formed around pastel shades of green as wall decoration and even ceiling. In combination with white, pale green makes it possible to create light, airy images of rooms even with a very modest quadrature.
Bright wallpaper Saturated shades of green are best used as materials for creating accent surfaces. In interiors created in a modern style, hi-tech, avant-garde, art deco or pop art bright, light green, turquoise or malachite wallpapers will look not only appropriate, but also organically. Depending on the situation and decoration materials for combination, you can use both plain wallpaper and canvases with a colorful, large print (it is important only to monitor the dosage of colorful wall decoration).
But the choice of the shade of wallpaper for surface finishing will depend not only on the stylistic direction, which has become the basis for the design of the room, but also on the following features of the room itself:
- the size and shape of the room, the number and scale of window openings (the smaller the room, the less natural light penetrates into it, the brighter it is necessary to choose shades of green wallpaper);
- the location of the room relative to the cardinal points (for the room on the south side, with active natural light, you can choose cold shades of green, for the north location it is better to prefer tones with warm energy - the predominance of yellow shades, ocher, olive and even khaki);
- the functional purpose of the room (not only the tone, but also the pattern on the canvases will depend on the functional characteristics of the room - a nursery or a bedroom, a living room or a kitchen - for each space you can find your ideal color scheme)
- the location of the room in relation to other rooms (to a greater extent refers to adjacent rooms, studios, combined spaces, where the partitions between the zones are completely absent or only partially cover the space).
The combination of green wallpaper with other room decoration colors
It is not enough to choose a good wallpaper pattern or the right shade of plain canvas. It is important to consider the combinatorics of wall decoration with other color schemes of the interior. It is about choosing colors for decorating the ceiling and floor, the basic colors of furniture and even decorative elements that are impressive in size.
White and Green - A Universal Alliance
One of the most popular options for combining colors in the interior using green wallpapers is various shades of white. This versatile tandem allows you to create light, positive and fresh images of the premises for a variety of purposes. A snow-white ceiling, a green pattern on a light background of wallpaper - an excellent combination, pleasant to the eye and positive in its energy. You can complement the finish with snow-white skirting boards, moldings.
Green - emphasis in the interior
With the help of bright, colorful paintings in green tones, you can draw accent walls in a variety of rooms - bedrooms, living rooms, offices and children's rooms. If the room is modest in size, you should not use bright wallpaper to finish all vertical surfaces, one wall will be enough to create a positive atmosphere, a festive mood of the entire interior. As accents can appear as plain wallpaper ...
So canvases with a picture, large and bright ...
Wallpaper green shades can be used for the manufacture of panels and inserts, framed by moldings. This combination is especially beneficial if expensive wallpapers are chosen for emphasis - embossed, textile or metallized.
Green and brown shades
Nothing brings us closer to nature and does not make the interior pleasing to the eye, like a combination of green, white and brown. All the shades that we can meet in nature will organically look in the interior of a wide variety of rooms. It is only important to consider the depth and brightness of colors, depending on the size and level of illumination of the spaces. The snow-white ceiling and the edging of the window and door openings, the greenish wall decoration, the natural wood pattern as the flooring and the material for the main furniture are the perfect union for a bedroom, living room, study, dining room or children's room.
Shades of green and gray in a modern design.
Gray is not in vain called the most neutral. Its various shades are able to organically combine with green, creating a pleasant-looking, psychological-neutral picture of the room. In a modern style, hi-tech, minimalism, modern and art deco gray-green combinations are the most relevant.
Plain wallpaper or patterned?
In modern design projects, one can find the use of both plain and printed canvases in green tones for wall decoration. It all depends on the chosen style, the size of the room and your personal preferences. In modern, minimalist projects, one can often find the use of solid color canvases, used as an accent of the interior.
If we talk about popular print options for decorating modern rooms, then there are no clear boundaries - floral, geometric, abstract patterns are in demand equally actively. Obvious trends can only be identified in the design of children's rooms - bright, clear drawings, screen images of animals and birds, heroes of fairy tales or cartoons, recognizable silhouettes and prints.
It often happens that it is a wallpaper with a large or bright pattern in green colors that dictates the whole concept of room decoration. It is with the purchase of colorful paintings that the creation of the whole image of the room begins.
Examples of the design of rooms for various purposes
Bedroom
Experts say that the green color, depending on the chosen shade, can both soothe our emotions before bedtime and arouse positive energy in the morning. Depending on the desired effect, you can choose the option of wallpaper for decoration of all walls or one accent surface.
In bedrooms, the wall behind the head of the bed is most often chosen as an accent. In this case, the image of the room will not be boring, trivial, but at the same time, the very bright design of one wall will not be distracting when relaxing at the end of the day and preparing for bed.
Living room
For the living room, decorated in the style of country, Provence or shabby chic, you can use wallpaper in a white-green checkered or striped. The depth of shade of green will depend on the size of the room, the number and parameters of window openings, and therefore the level of illumination.
The combination of plain wallpaper and canvas with a pattern in the same room can also look spectacular, non-trivial. Printed canvases can be used for pasting accent walls, decorate segments on surfaces or trim the back wall of shelving, bookcases with glass doors.
Nursery and room for a teenager
Green color has a beneficial effect on the children's psyche. Pale green shades are able to "calm" a hyperactive baby, and bright, saturated tones as an accent - awaken creative energy, create a message for activity. In combination with natural wood furniture, a white ceiling and bright color inclusions in the form of textiles or toys, green color for wall decoration will be more than appropriate.
To light green shades diluted with white, you need to add brightness. Pink, raspberry, fuchsia will be appropriate in the color scheme of the room for the girl.
No less effect can be achieved when creating an accent using various shades of blue against a white-green palette in bright colors.
Kitchen and dining room
Experts say that the green color in the decoration of the kitchen or dining room has a neutral effect on our appetite. Unlike red and orange tones that evoke appetite and all shades of blue, suppress the desire to consume large portions, the green color favorably affects digestion, charges with positive energy and gives notes of proximity to nature during meals. Therefore, shades of green can be used both for metered use in decoration - for example, for decorating a kitchen apron, and for gluing all walls that are not occupied by a furniture set.
Bathroom
Using wallpaper of any color in the working areas of the bathroom is not the best way to create a reliable finish, even if moisture resistant materials are used. But pasting up bathrooms, toilets and spacious bathrooms in areas where water rarely gets or does not penetrate at all is a great idea if green shades are used.
Green shades in the wall decoration combine perfectly with snow-white plumbing. A fresh, relaxing and at the same time non-trivial image of the bathroom will create an ideal atmosphere not only for taking various water and sanitary-hygienic procedures, but also for pacification and relaxation at the end of the working day and raising tone, a charge of optimism at its beginning.
Ancillary facilities
In the hallways, corridors, spaces near the stairs and other auxiliary rooms, the combination of wallpaper in green colors with light panels looks beautiful. In this case, the choice of the height of the panels will depend on what visual effect you want to create - in some cases it is necessary to visually increase the height of modest rooms, in others, on the contrary, to emphasize the scale of the dwelling.
