3. Pick a Vintage-Inspired Statement Appliance in Green
Salvaged wood countertops set the rustic, pieced-together feel of this cottage’s galley kitchen, which is inspired by old European cottages. The browns and golds of the tile backsplash unite the deep pigments of the blue cabinet and the emerald green Hallman stove.
4. Paint Your Cabinetry Green
In this Nantucket cottage, the existing lower cabinets got a fresh coat of mossy green paint, while wood beams, a pine farm table, and original hardwood floors were left to show off their natural warmth.
5. Create a Jewel-Box Nook of Emerald and Peridot
This Virginia cottage’s tiny 5- by 5-foot nook, where the original kitchen once stood, now serves as the cocktail bar. Homeowner Amy Whyte played off the woodsy wallpaper (“Forest” by Cole & Son) by painting the lower cabinets a complimentary shade of green.
6. Paint Your Floors Grassy Green
The floor sets the tone in this camp-style lake house kitchen. Thrifted signs and a happily hodgepodge collection of thermoses, cups, and dishes make for colorfully collected space and the mismatched stools enhance that come-as-you-are feeling.

7. Drench Your Bedroom in Moody, Dark Green
In the “Captain's Room” of this Nantucket bedroom, homeowner Stephenie Watts painted the walls, trim, and ceiling all the same dark paint color for a truly cocooning effect.
8. Transform Mismatched Dining Chairs into an Eclectic Set with Green Paint
Designer Raili Clasen gave her kitchen some cabin-conjuring moments like pine-plank walls and cabinets in a color reminiscent of vintage Coleman lanterns. Meanwhile, a couple of wood chairs left as trash in an alleyway put her on the hunt for more mismatched pairs, all which she gave a uniform look with a very California appropriate avocado-toned green hue.
9. Pretty Up Your Porch with a Green Rug
The iron daybed on this front porch makes the space the preferred family hangout. The green area rug contrasts the yellow chairs and helps the porch to blend into its beautiful grassy surroundings.
10. Pair Warm Wood with Mossy Green Walls
With such pretty views of the Delta landscape outside the windows of this Mississippi farmhouse, Country Living's Editor-in-Chief Rachel Hardage Barrett embraced colors inspired by the region. Swathed in an earthy green, this bedroom's more lodgelike accents are offset with the sweetness of poster beds dressed in ivory coverlets and crisp floral and gingham linens.
11. Try an Age-Appropriate (for the House!) Patterned Green Wallpaper
Homeowner Melissa Duckworth looked to historic inspiration when choosing the paint colors for her early 1900s farmhouse. In the galley kitchen, which was previously the home’s hallway, a reproduction green wallpaper (“Larkspur 1872” designed by William Morris) pairs seamlessly with a timeless cornflower blue on the trim and cabinetry.
