Tag Archives: painting your bedroom green

Since I’ve been planning on decorating another guest room in my house, I’ve been thinking long and hard about using chartreuse or lime green fabrics in it.  It’s the smallest bedroom in my house {vacated not too long ago by one of my stepsons} which now houses a lot of my home staging accessories, fabrics, wrapping papers and other items that come and go in my home. I am thinking of keeping the walls light – probably white – and adding some lovely fabrics in the lime green family. I love the vibrancy of this color family – it makes me so happy to see it.  So, I thought my readers might want to see some of the color ideas I’ve collected in this palette.

Paired with fuchsia, white and orange, it’s a color pairing that’s great for a bedroom

With blue and white, it makes an elegant bedroom statement

For an outdoor patio area, it’s a great color that blends with all the greenery

It makes a great statement painted on doors

Maybe not everyone’s choice for a mantle – but this is gorgeous!

Here’s a closeup

The bright accessories against a dull background really pop

Love the pale lime green ceiling and those lovely leather chairs

Jonathan Adler used chartreuse yellow on the chairs and window treatments to brighten this room

In a neutral bathroom, add some color with gray and chartreuse wallpaper

Works well with other greens!

Blue and green should never be seen?  Nonsense!

It’s beautiful as painted furniture

Lovely in bouquets…
