Green Wallpaper: Shades, Styles & How to Make It Yours

The Colour of the Natural World

There's a reason green feels so restful: it's the colour of the natural world, of gardens and woodland and the first green of spring. Bringing it indoors brings a little of that calm with it. Green is grounding, refreshing and endlessly versatile — it works as a soft, tonal neutral or a rich, dramatic statement, and it flatters almost every other colour under the sun. From the palest sage to the deepest forest, green is one of the easiest and most rewarding colours to live with.

At Claret & Key, green is never a compromise. Because every design is drawn in-house and printed to order in your chosen colour way, you choose the exact green you want — and any of our designs can be made in it. Your shade, your pattern, made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.

A shade for every mood

Green's range is remarkable. A soft sage or eucalyptus is calm, gentle and almost neutral. A fresh mint or light green feels bright and uplifting. A muted olive or khaki brings an earthy, grounded warmth. And a deep forest or emerald green is rich, dramatic and beautifully enveloping. Whether you want quiet and restful or bold and jewel-like, there's a green for it, and we'll print your design in precisely that tone.

The art of pairing green

Green plays beautifully with others. Green and blue is fresh and natural, like a garden by the sea. Green and pink is a modern classic, cheerful and full of life. Green with warm brass or gold feels luxurious, and green with crisp white feels clean and botanical. Against a green ground, a floral, leaf or bird design really comes alive.

Where green works

Green suits every room. In a living room, a deep forest green feels handsome and enveloping. In a bedroom, a soft sage is restful and calming. In a kitchen, fresh greenery feels clean and natural against pale cabinetry. And in a hallway or study, green lends a smart, grounded edge. Its natural, earthy quality makes it one of the most soothing colours to come home to.

Choosing your green

Because we print to order, the shade is entirely yours — and green reads very differently by daylight and lamplight, so it's worth choosing carefully. Every design comes in three finishes: Traditional (150gsm, super-matte), Heavy-Grade (300gsm) and Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm), all printed on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper.
