What type of colour is forest green?
Forest green is an earthy, natural shade of green that feels organic and connects us with nature. Unlike many alternative shades of green, forest green offers the perfect balance between fashion and cosiness making it the ideal choice for stylish homes. This colour is also supremely flexible making it an amazing choice for almost any room in the home. Whether you want to add a fashionable finish to your bedroom, or curate a soothing and peaceful bathroom, forest green should be on your list of considerations.
Where can you enjoy forest green at home?
- Forest green bedrooms
Forest green can be easily employed as an exciting, leading colour in a bedroom. When it comes to making a comfortable environment in which to sleep, it is very important to find a colour palette that’s conducive to relaxation. Forest green is one such colour. While this shade has a magical quality to it, you can further improve your space’s utility by considering forest green bedroom curtains or Roman blinds with a blackout lining.
- Forest green kitchens
Kitchens are great rooms for enjoying forest green. Reflecting many of the leaves, herbs and spices that make our lives nicer every day, forest green will help you to relax and focus your mind on making lovely meals. For the best results, think about forest green roller blinds in a stylish and functional moisture proof fabric. You could even consider a premium quality easy wipe fabric to easily fix and unexpected splashes.
- Forest green living room
As with bedrooms and kitchens, forest green can also make a style statement in a living room. These are rooms where we relax and unwind and as a result, living rooms benefit greatly from colours that stimulate that relaxation. What’s more, living rooms often feature larger windows making them ideal rooms for curtains! Forest green curtains will add depth and movement to your decor, especially when combined with a quality real wood curtain pole! Add a free thermal or blackout lining to your forest green curtains to maximise their potential.

What colours go with forest green?
These are some of our favourite colours to pair with forest green:
- Forest green and grey
One of the best nature inspired colour combinations is forest green and grey, especially stone grey. This dynamic colour palette is synonymous with the beauty of the outdoors and has a particularly Nordic edge. One of the best ways to enjoy this combination is adding forest green Roman blinds and stone grey cushions to a room.
- Forest green and beige
Mixing forest green with beige is a surefire way of crafting a soft, gentle space. This combination is perfect for living rooms and bedrooms, places where the warmth of beige is a cosier alternative to bright white. Since cosiness is at the core of this combination, consider a neat beige Roman or roller blind and a luxurious forest green curtain covering the same window.
- Forest green and pink
Green and pink is a wonderful colour partnership. When you combine forest green with softer blush pinks, you can easily manifest a youthful yet classically beautiful aesthetic. Because the colours contrast in a way that brings harmony to a space, finding patterned blinds, curtains, or home accessories that feature both colours is an easy, cost effective way to enrich any space.
- Forest green and other greens
One of the best colours to pair with forest green is other shades of green. With the art of colour drenching growing in popularity, green is one of the best colours to try. As a mid tone, forest green is the perfect shade to mix with either lighter sage or eucalyptus greens, or darker bottle greens at the other end of the spectrum. In either instance, forest green is best used at the secondary shade to add depth to the room.
