15 Versatile and Refreshing Green Dining Room Ideas
I spend a lot of time researching and studying color trends by looking at new construction and designer showcases. I am passionate about deciphering where we are heading in home design and I love sharing these trends with you.
Today I wanted to pull together a post sharing one of the biggest color trends I have been seeing, the use of green, to inspire you as you think about your own dining room projects this year.
Soothing and Serene Spaces
You don’t have to go loud and bright with green. I think it’s amazing how lighter shades of the color can feel just like a charming neutral.
For a Mediterranean vibe, a textured light green wall is absolutely gorgeous. And if you have a small shabby chic space, pastel green walls are the perfect way to complement other vibrant colors.
I’ve also seen soft greens work beautifully in midcentury modern dining rooms, where they let the wood furniture be the star of the show. Just find the shade of green that you love and get ready to give your dining room a fresh new look.
Embracing Deeper Hues
I know that choosing a dark color can feel a little risky compared to a lighter shade.
It can be a challenge, and if you get it wrong, a dark green can make a dining room feel a bit dull. But when you nail it? It’s a total showstopper that makes the whole room feel special!
In a contemporary open-concept home, I think a dark green accent wall is a brilliant way to define the dining area and give it its own personality.
What’s so great is that deep green also looks incredible in more traditional spaces, whether they have a classic, Victorian, or Mediterranean feel. It really comes down to the decor and styling you use.
Just make sure the room has tons of natural light or really good ambient lighting to keep the space from feeling too heavy.
Nature-Inspired Patterns
Lately, I’ve been seeing botanical prints and tropical patterns everywhere, and I absolutely love them. A dining room with a green color scheme is the perfect place for these kinds of accents.
It’s so easy to switch between different looks like tropical, beachy, or shabby chic just by adding these fun details. I’m also a huge fan of using wallpaper to bring in both color and a nature-inspired pattern.
When you pair a great wallpaper with simple neutrals, it really makes the design pop!
