23 Captivating Green Accent Wall Ideas

A green accent wall is a perfect way to add a pop of color to your space without breaking the budget. While green may not initially come to mind for an accent wall, the various shades of green let you find the right color for your style.

An accent wall is when you paint a single wall a different color from the rest of the room, creating a focal point in your design. You can also add wood trim or paneling to your wall for texture.

Whether you’re looking to create a moody dark green accent wall bedroom or a modern sage green accent wall in your dining room, the possibilities are endless. We’d recommend using darker shades of green (like forest green or hunter green) to create a more sophisticated look, while lighter shades (like sage or olive green) typically evoke an eclectic and youthful style.

Don’t feel like you must paint your accent wall all one color. This living room accent wall uses green, black, and beige to add contrast while still complementing the light wood tones found throughout the room.

5. Use Bright Green for a Boho Look

Create a boho style with bright shades of green like this bedroom that features eclectic patterned furniture. We love using picture frames painted to match the lime green accent wall instead of traditional molding. Plus, this is an easy way to add depth without dealing with wood trim.

6. Create Mountains On a White and Green Accent Wall

This unique bedroom accent wall features green wood trim outlining the shape of mountains against the white wall.

The bright gold frames warm the space and perfectly contrast the dark green wall.

8. Paint Beadboard green to Add Texture and Color

This beadboard green accent wall complements this living room’s neutral-colored entertainment unit and white walls. To accent the warm tones in the room, this design hangs gold and white sconces on the beadboard wall. Adding wall sconces is one of our favorite ways to add depth to a wall and help fill empty space. And even if you don’t have existing wiring, adding a light isn’t too tricky.

9. Complement Curtains with Green Half-Wall Paneling

The green half-wall board and batten in this bedroom looks fantastic against the bright white walls and curtains. Building and painting half-wall molding for smaller spaces is a great way to add an accent without overpowering the room.

10. Build a Dark Green Accent Wall with Molding

A dark green accent wall with full-height box molding creates a cozy nook with the day-bed positioned in front and a nearby window. Box molding or picture frame molding is an easy way to add texture to your accent wall. We’ve installed this molding in our living room and hallway to help fill large blank walls. Instead of buying expensive artwork, molding is the perfect way to add depth, and it’s inexpensive.

11. Add a Bench with Pillows to Create Layers

A black tufted bench and decor create layers in front of this entryway green accent wall with white trim. A wood chair rail on top of the green board and batten adds a rustic touch and matches the brown hardwood floors.

12. Mix Wallpaper and a Green Accent Half-Wall

A green board and batten accent wall with wallpaper above add a sophisticated pop of color to this nursery. Since the rest of the space sticks to a black-and-white neutral theme, using darker green paint on the accent wall helps it blend with the room. Adding a dark blue or green accent wall to a neutral nursery is the perfect way to introduce color without overpowering the rest of the space.

13. Paint Vertical Shiplap Olive Green for a Farmhouse Look

This olive green accent wall with vertical shiplap helps break away from the traditional farmhouse style of this mudroom area. Gold hooks are mounted on the accent wall for a warm touch, while the surrounding area is filled with white shaker-style cabinets and black hardware.

17. Go Modern with Geometric Wood Trim

This bedroom design sets the mood with orange and grey blankets on top of the comforter that matches the green accent wall behind the headboard. Modern wood paneling on the wall gives it texture, with two natural wood picture frames centered behind the bed.

18. Use Olive Green Vertical Wood Trim for a Sleek Look

To create a modern look, an olive green wood accent wall is installed near the doorway. While the concrete floors give this home an industrial look, the olive green color helps add a homey feel that still fits within the color palette.

19. Use Lighter Shades of Green Colors To brighten A Space

This simple bedroom shows that a light green accent wall can bring calmness to any space with the right decor. To help blend the wall into the room, a blanket with similar pastel green hues is placed on the bed. And for contrast, pastel pink curtains provide a soft addition of color.

20. Add a Modern Accent Wall in A Dining Room

Positioning the table perpendicular to this dining room’s green accent wall with diagonal wood trim makes it the room’s focal point. Green plants around the room complement the accent wall’s color, while a natural oak dining table adds a modern rustic style.

21. Create A Focal Point in Your Living Room

This narrow living room uses a green accent wall to highlight the whitewashed brick fireplace and add a modern flair. Wood planks run up and down the wall adding texture, while a warm wood mantel accents the wood furnishings around the room. When designing an accent wall, it’s important to add elements on or around the wall that tie into the rest of the room. This will help give your space a cohesive look.

22. Use Forest Green Shiplap Accent Wall in a Bedroom

Forest green is one of our favorite colors for a bedroom accent wall since it evokes cozy vibes. However, this bedroom’s forest green accent wall takes the idea to the next level using vertical shiplap planks to create a subtle detail. Shiplap or tongue and groove planks are installed with a small slot between each piece to create dimension. We also love how easy shiplap wood is to install and can be painted to fit in with any accent wall.
