6 Green Colour Palettes for Your Bedroom

If you want to bring effortless style and a sense of serenity to your bedroom, a green colour palette is the way to go. Green’s strong association with nature and balance will help your bedroom feel grounded and calm, which is ideal for creating a restful space to sleep. From dark, earthy tones like olive and forest to smoky hues like eucalyptus and sage, there is a shade of green to suit your style.

Here are six green colour palettes to try for your next bedroom refresh, whether you’re updating your cushions and throws or going for a full room makeover.

1. Biophilic green

A key interior trend in 2025, Biophilic design is all about organic textures, tones, and materials. Bring the outside in with a deep, earthy green colour and combine it with warm browns and neutrals, like sand, beige, and taupe, for a bedroom that’s tranquil and sophisticated.

Try pairing warm-toned wooden and black bedroom furniture with bedding in layered, tonal neutrals like oatmeal, terracotta, and moss, or forest green. Look for items like storage baskets or a bench for the end of your bed that incorporate natural woven fabrics, such as rattan or cord. Create a cosy reading nook or spot for your morning coffee with Swyft’s Model 10 Armchair in Fern Bouclé and style it with an umber-coloured cushion and classic oatmeal-coloured throw. Tie the room together with a rug in a warm neutral tone and add some leafy green houseplants by your window for a down-to-earth sanctuary. 

2. Muted greens and serene blue

Serene hues are everywhere this year, so turn your bedroom into a relaxing retreat by combining powdery mid blue with light sage and dusty pistachio or eucalyptus for another nature-inspired colour scheme. Bring these tones together with bed linens, cushions, and other soft furnishings, like this Albi Green Rug by Swyft. If you’re looking for a more dramatic change, try covering your walls with a green and blue botanical wallpaper, such as this Art Nouveau-inspired bluebell print by Ellen Merchant.

3. Olive green: understated elegance

Olive is a timeless colour for any room in the house and makes for a particularly elegant bedroom. This rich, earthy green balances coolness and warmth, bringing a restorative feel to your space. Introduce the hue with a velvet green bedframe or Swyft’s Albany Grid Olive Rug, or fully embrace the shade and colour drench your walls in olive for a look that’s polished and enveloping. This can be beautifully finished with off-white soft furnishings and warm wood tones, and don’t be afraid to add pops of colour in soft pinks, ochre, or espresso. Use natural textures in the room, like stone, linen, or a jute rug, for a refined yet cosy feel.

If retro fun is more your vibe, combine olive green with golden yellow, burnt orange, warm browns, and deep purple for an undeniably 70s look. Swyft’s 100% Merino Wool Milan Throw in Gold is an easy way to inject some 70s flair into your life and is the perfect finishing touch to a mid-century style bedroom.

4. Pale green as a neutral

Make your bedroom feel light and airy with a barely-there pale green as a neutral wall colour. Use similar-toned serene green hues on your bed, incorporating a variety of textures, such as embroidered cushions, linen bedding, and a woollen throw, to add visual interest. Keep the rest of the room soft and soothing with warm neutrals, such as light oak furniture, and hints of dusty pink or fuchsia to add vibrance.

If you want to create a tonal look, combine pale green and muted sage, using soft furnishings like Swyft’s Chevron Throw in Light Sage, for a zen bedroom that’s the ultimate place to unwind at the end of a long day.

5. Jewel tones

Whether you prefer vibrant emerald, blue-green kingfisher, or moody phthalo (a deep blue-green with hints of black), jewel-toned greens will give your bedroom a high-end look. These colours are a perfect match for the sheen of velvet, creating a sophisticated finish. Go ahead and make your bed the rightful centrepiece of your room with a velvet upholstered frame like Swyft’s Bed 02 in Kingfisher.

For lovers of minimalism, pair these deep greens with warm neutrals, bronze finishes, and sleek lines. If you want to create a maximalist-style bedroom, go for accents in strong colours, such as indigo, mustard, or oxblood, and include some patterned decor or bold artwork.

6. Bronze green

Bronze might evoke images of shiny, metallic shades, but bronze green is an earthy hue that will make your bedroom feel snug and grounded. Little Greene’s Light Bronze Green paint works beautifully with desaturated rich colours like deep brown, dark blush, and pink clay. Experiment with bursts of brighter colours, such as Swyft’s Storage Ottoman 03 in Bronze Eco-recycled Velvet as a vanity stool, or Storage Ottoman 02 in Mustard as a window seat with extra storage. 

To create a lighter bedroom, contrast bronze green with warm, mid-neutral tones or a dusty green for a revitalising twist.
