1. Accent Dark Green Sofa

A wonderful way to introduce dark green is by slowly adding it to some parts of your living room.

For example, if you want to see how it matches the rest of your living room decor, add an accent dark green sofa and experiment with other colors around it.

2. Dark Green Accent Wall

If you want to go a bit bolder, decide which wall is the most prominent in your living room and paint it dark green.

3. Dark Green And Gold

Once you get used to dark green in your living room, it is time to start experimenting with color combinations that will look good and accentuate the green.

Gold is one of those colors that make dark green stand out and make it look more luxurious, so if that is your vibe, this combo is perfect for you.

4. Add Natural Light

Dark green walls or furniture can make your living room feel a bit smaller and more serious so try to add large windows so you can let natural light in.

If you are a fan of fun wallpapers, dark green is a perfect choice for that.

It is not only calming and chic, but it can also match many different decor options.

Choose velvet for your dark green sofas or armchairs and make your living room a wonderful haven of sophistication.

7. Pair With Oriental Decor

Throws, cushions, or carpets in oriental patterns will look wonderful in dark green living rooms and accentuate the natural color palette.
