Green goes great with everything. Trust.
Jonny Valiant
Sometimes a fresh coat of paint is all it takes to enliven a space—especially if said paint color is green. It is, after all, the color of renewal. If you're someone who likes to stick to blues or warmer tones, don't leave just yet. Green is not as scary as it seems. The right shade of green can calm, energize, or even ground a room. We talked to interior designs to help you make sure you're choosing a shade that'll complement your house. Keep reading for plenty of inspiring green rooms and paints recommended by an interior designers.

The Inspo: Muted Mint
To bring a natural feeling into this New York living room, designer Fawn Galli used a custom minty green. "I don't think a color should be too saturated or strong on a wall," she says. Pal + Smith chairs in a cheetah print—Safari by Manuel Canovas—with a Paley sofa from Profiles, a Fiona Curran Palette carpet for the Rug Company, and a painting by Anne Siems give the room what Galli calls "a sense of storybook fantasy."

What to Shop: Muted Mint
"On the beautiful blue side of classic celadon, this color is a complement to everything it meets. Let it be the bold stroke and keep the rest of the scheme simple; you can't go wrong with black and white for countertops, tile, etc." — David Kaihoi

The Inspo: Light Moss
A pale green blends seamlessly between the kitchen and dining area of this "jungalow," by Justina Blakeney, especially when paired with the Moroccan clay tile backsplash and ombré dining bar stools in the living room. It's the perfect color choice for a soothing setting.

"Choose a color for the walls that you see outside. It will give you a sense that the room continues beyond the windows. In the country, it might be this crisp green, the green of stems in the garden, and leaves on the trees. Green is a color that makes me feel alive. It elevates your spirit, which is going to make any room feel larger." — Jay Jeffers

What to Shop: Sage Green
"Green is in the middle of the spectrum, so in a sense it incorporates both ends and embraces all the realms of light that people need for nourishment. It evokes both warmth and coolness. Since it's ubiquitous in nature, it takes us back to nature." — Donald Kaufman

Artist and designer Aldous Bertram used an array of tropical colors (namely pale pink and lime green) and materials (like rattan and coral branches) to turn his apartment into a sophisticated Palm Beach pad.

What to Shop: Chic Lime
"I just did this in a double parlor with a lot of white woodwork in Charleston, South Carolina, and I'm so pleased with it. It looks exactly like a green apple. Very fresh and very pretty. Dogs love it because they think they're out in the garden. Green is one of the easiest colors because everyone relates to it. I added touches of geranium pink, yellow, and blue." — Mario Buatta

The Inspo: Bright Green
Want to kick your color up a notch? Pair a yellow-toned green with icy-blue-and-white decor. The white molding on the walls makes the bold hue pop even more.

What to Shop: Douglas Fir
"This is a Palm Beach green, very strong and vibrant with a shot of yellow in it. It takes me back to the '60s and '70s, that carefree David Hicks and Lilly Pulitzer period. I think of parties with ice cubes clinking in glasses and lots of laughter. There's an optimism to this green. You feel like the world's going to be all right. Bring in pink, persimmon, and lots of white, or hang some interesting photography to give it more depth and sophistication." —Christopher Maya

The Inspo: Kelly Green
If you've ever thought transitional spaces were "blah" and boring—think again. Narrow hallways and stairwells are the perfect places to experiment with color and make bold design decisions. Inn this one designed by Gail Davis, the whole space is brought to life with a saturated shade of green that adds vibrancy but also allows the impactful artwork to anchor the space.

"Less conventional than your typical navy, this striking green plays well with blue, red, gray, black, and even wood tones, making it the perfect accent color." — Emily C. Butler

The Inspo: Camo Green
In this space designed by Arent & Pyke, an average corner is elevated to art gallery status. The painterly room divider with a silver-brushed ground and light green weeping willow design shines against the matte moss paint. Even the angle is well thought out: The bends in the divider look like they're embracing the chaise.

Color Inspiration: Camo Green
"Green is my favorite color. I've actually had to design away from it at times because I'm so drawn to it. This is a color you might see in a vintage English chintz or a summer garden. How to describe it? Maybe fresh green peas? Yes—that's it. It works just as well in Palm Beach with hot pink as in New York with black and white. I often use it for playrooms because it's fun and vibrant and looks great with toys and kids." — DD Allen

The Inspo: Jade
For a splash of color that still feels neutral, strangely enough, try a bright jade or emerald green. We love how GRT mixed metals in this modern kitchen, too, opting for stainless countertops and bronze hardware.

"Imagine opening the front door and seeing this bright kelly green in a high-lacquer finish. It's fun and unexpected. Or, it would be amazing in a bedroom with white bedding and furniture. It would make a small room feel special. Be fearless and add hot fuchsia, orange, or teal." — Gregory McGuire

The Inspo: Smoky Green
Moodier in the shadows and bouncier in the light, this neutral paint color is perfect for transitional spaces. Shapeless Studio makes a strong case for it an entryway.

"Some people find calm in the blue of the ocean, but that's not for me. Think about what makes you happy. I like the idea of being surrounded by a grove of trees." — Frances Merrill, Reath Designs

The Inspo: Forest Green
An earthy, forest green can feel grounding in a room, and it's little more classic than a brighter hue. This color combo in a breakfast nook designed by Nicole Hollis Studio feels glam without being gaudy in the slightest. The cushy, channeled sofa is a nice contrast to the angular wooden chairs and hardwood chairs. The lone pendant light and dramatic artwork top things off.

"This classic hunter green feels like a color I've known my entire life—in the leaves of a magnolia tree, a sprig of fresh-cut basil, or my favorite flannel shirt in the second grade. In a Minnesota farmhouse kitchen, it has a comforting familiarity that evokes a sense of home. It's a color with soul, and that never goes out of style." — Jeff Andrews

The Inspo: Marine Green
Decorate in greens and browns to bring add earthiness to your room. A deep blue-green tone like this one in a space by Arent & Pyke is perfect for a smaller nooks to create a fully cocooned environment (and for anyone who usually leans towards blue but wants to dabble in the world of green paint).

What to Shop: Marine Green
"In the powder room of an old farmhouse on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, we applied this color—a tone that oscillates between teal and navy—on the walls, ceiling, and millwork, blurring the boundaries of where planes intersect. Using a dark color to completely envelop a room adds drama, which a small space can handle." —Thad Hayes
