Green Hallway Colour Schemes

Hallways are the gateway to your home, where first impressions are made. Using eye-catching shades is a guaranteed way to elevate your hallway, making it a memorable space – and green is an excellent choice. Explore our top green hallway ideas to get inspired, including the benefits of this earthy hue and the best shades to try.

The benefits of a green hallway

Green can simultaneously make a space feel energised and serene, especially when used on the walls. It’s close enough to neutrals to have a timeless feel but helps brighten up dark hallways by bringing a touch of the outdoors in. Whether you only want to use green paint in the hallway or introduce various shades throughout your home, this colour is an excellent choice for any space.

The best green shades for hallways

The shades used in this room are Cocoa Pod, Wild Wonder and Silver Lichen.

All shades of green paint work well against a white ceiling and darker flooring, but you can experiment with your space to find your favourite design. Paler shades of green can add depth without overpowering the narrow space, while darker hues will bring timeless elegance to any room.

Explore the best green hallway colours here to find your favourites, from pastel hues to eye-catching brights and dark, atmospheric shades.

Pastel green

Just dipping your toe into colour? Pastel green is an excellent alternative to white, bringing a softer feel to your hallway while offering the same brightening properties. Choose shades like Apple White, Nordic Spa or Wellbeing, which are light enough to use throughout the space without overpowering it. Pastel green pairs well with any other neutrals or darker shades of green for a tonal effect, making it a versatile option.

Muted green

If you want to go a step further than pastels, try muted green shades. These colours are richer than pastels but still on the neutral side, making them easy to pair with white, beige or grey. Their earthy tones are the ideal pairing for wood accents, whether furniture or flooring. Some of our favourites include Willow Tree, Bamboo Stem and Fresh Sage.

Bright green

For a statement hallway that’s bound to wow your guests, opt for bright green paint. Our top picks include Pixie Green, Enchanted Eden and Kiwi Crush. These fresh shades are an excellent pairing for pastel and muted green or work well with neutrals when used as a feature wall.

Dark green

For a cosy and inviting appearance, paint your hallway dark green. Forest Shade, Highland Green and Heathland are excellent choices for hallways, bringing a luxurious feel to the space. Pair them with other jewel tones like purple and navy blue to embrace the darkness, or brighten up the space with pastel green, soft beige and warm grey.

Accessorising your new green hallway

The shades used in this room are Chiffon White 1, Highland Falls 2 and Highland Falls 4.

Looking for green hallway decorating ideas to add the finishing touches to your space? Dark green hallways will benefit from soft furnishings in complementary jewel tones, while muted and pastel walls are the ideal base for bright green decorative accessories and wall art. You could also introduce botanical elements with plants and flowers or decorate with wooden accents as a nod to nature.
