Blue and Green Room Ideas

Blue and green room accents can evoke the most appealing of images. There are swaying palms against a cloudless sky, the bright markings of an exotic butterfly, and the fantastical colour palettes of birds and fish.

There is science behind our love of blue; this colour has been shown to be good for our health, lowering blood pressure, slowing down heart rate, and reduce the feelings of anxiety and stress. Pair with green, the colour of nature, and you have a classic match made in heaven. It’s quite simply the ideal room-colour combination for beautiful, uplifting interiors.

How to Style Blue and Green Decor

Blue and green is present in the most stunning natural settings, so it makes sense to gather inspiration from nature when styling them.

Green is the colour of life, growth and vitality and will always be well suited to leafy patterns. Consider a densely patterned wallpaper or fabric with a botanical theme.

Blue signifies water, fluidity and movement, working well to show off painterly designs or more abstract motifs. Together, the two have endless potential within the home. They can leave you feeling energised or soothed, depending on how they are used.

Here's our favourite colour combinations for blue and green rooms.

Dense and Dark Room Decor

Be bold and create a moody sanctuary, a place to recharge. Rich, saturated shades of green and blue are best displayed in the form of sumptuous velvet, painted walls or metallic wallpapers. It will result in a brooding yet deeply impressive look with regal connotations.

Balanced Blue and Green Decor

Shades within blue and green give balance and harmony to a scheme. When introducing other colours into your palette, consider ochre or light brown. They will fit effortlessly with blue and green as sand and sea. To balance a particularly bright scheme, inject splashes of red, pink or purple. These can hold their own against blue and green.

Fresh and Zesty Decor Ideas

Alternatively, stick to pastel blue and green with plenty of white or neutral accents to create a spring-like feeling of freshness and elegance. A pastel palette toasts the beginning of new things and imparts a sense of joie de vivre. Complete the look by utilizing lightweight fabrics or subtle wallpapers.
