Decorate A Bedroom With Lime Green Walls

Lime green walls can make a bold statement in a bedroom.


Lime green is a vibrant and fresh color that can give a sense of light and whimsy to an ordinary bedroom. While this color choice is not for everyone, it can still look elegant if paired with the right complementary colors and textures. Because the color of the walls will make a statement all its own, it is not necessary to go over the top with accessories and materials.








Instructions


1. Complement your green walls with more neutral color shades. You can use shades of cream, white, tan or a pale yellow to balance the vibrancy of the lime green. For an even bolder color combination, use splashes of orange to enhance the "citrus" quality of the lime green walls.


2. Use as much natural light as possible to brighten up the space. Lime green is a very bright, playful color but the power of it may be lost in a poorly lit room, where it might have the tendency to turn into a pea green. Use sheer curtains on windows to allow in natural light or use lamps and chandeliers to brighten up the room.


3. Accessorize with transparent or reflective pieces. Depending on your preference, your room can look either extremely contemporary or somewhat retro with the lime green walls. Regardless of what decor style you prefer, clear glass and mirrored pieces work well to break up the color on the wall and better demonstrate the room's design scheme.


4. Create an accent wall. A bedroom with lime green walls will create a vibrant statement on its own but you can create some added visual interest and break up the space by featuring an accent wall. For example, you could stencil a damask design on the wall behind the bed.


5. Incorporate eco-friendly materials into your space. Go green in more ways than one by adding natural materials to your bedroom in the form of bedding, rugs and accessories. Accessorize with houseplants and decorate with organic cottons, burlap and bamboo. Between the organic materials and lime green walls, you can bring the outside into your home.
