Revitalising, invigorating, fresh and sublime, green dining rooms create good vibes. A green scheme can be cool and calm in minty hues, deeply sophisticated in emerald and forest shades, or energised in saturated lime. Whatever your character and energy, green is an adaptable choice. Singe feature walls and coordinated accessories are an ideal way to bring in a splash of colour without committing fully to the theme, as they can be easily and cheaply changed out. However, if you’re gutsy enough, then making a cash investment into a fully green dining set or colour statement cabinets will give the most gorgeous impact. With so many options, how will you go for green?
Sage green and simple. The calming tones of a light sage backdrop will make dinner times tranquil, and a small pop of colour will instill that desirable modern edge.
Turn the tables in a fully turquoise decor scheme. Why stop at a feature wall when you can include matching dining hutches and dining table?
Build up tonal interest. This kitchen diner includes two shades of cabinets, and a third green hue on the walls. The combination builds depth and dimension.
Partner heritage hues with traditional panel moulding and decorative coving to make a dining area with classic elegance.
Share the spotlight. With a strong wall colour it’s important to ensure that other elements don’t pale into insignificance. Cluster dining room pendant lights for added impact, and choose dining chairs with interesting silhouettes.
This 50/50 split black and green modern dining room scheme is coupled up with the stylish 70/70 Table with solid oak top by TAF for Muuto.
Light wood and honeydew melon walls make a mellow match. Team the palette with melon slice half moon motifs to sweeten the theme.
Picture perfect in pea green. The deep window frames in this dining room have been painted over in the same pea green shade as the surrounding walls for a fully saturated scheme. The single colour walls and colour coordinated dining chairs create a fearless effect. Among the greens, the white dining table stands out.
Go loud with a love for lime and lemon. Cut through the zest with white accents to let the brightness breathe.
Your green hero piece doesn’t even have to be in the room. If you have a stunning garden or forest view, keep the interior pale to let the outdoor greenery be your mural. Add a subtle green centrepiece to the table to draw just a little bit of that natural colour inward.
Even narrow outdoor spaces can host a plethora of living greenery to boost the interior mood.
Of course, you can always move the garden inside too! This clear perspex dining set disappears before an indoor jungle, unleashing flourishing foliage in full effect. The plain whites and the glass dining table and chairs ensure all attention goes to the greenery.
A smaller take on the vertical garden, this time sandwiched between a base of tiles and a custom cut mirror on top. The wall of plants stimulates the illusion of a refreshing alfresco eating area, which is helped along by a rustic wooden dining table.
Combine the vertical garden aesthetic with a row of display shelves for a custom look. This approach also presents the opportunity to inject a contrasting accent colour, or multiple, over the shelves with knick-knacks and books.
For those daunted by the installation and upkeep of a living wall, a raised indoor planter provides a more low-key solution for achieving an effective garden atmosphere.
Botanical walls don’t have to be living at all, and are entirely up to artistic interpretation. This mural blooms with a coral element that uplifts the green base.
Here, botanical wallpaper fills an architectural archway. An oval dining table has been selected to complement the curved feature.
Position a bush of painted fronds directly behind the cushions of a banquette seat to establish a fun connection between background and foreground pieces. Locate a couple of living fronds for the table centrepiece to draw the theme forward.
Just frame it. Minimal fuss, minimal commitment. A framed botanical print and a cluster of green glass vases does the trick on a shoestring budget.
Wood, gold and green paint a rich and natural scheme. A tall mirror helps to increase the sense of space in this small dining room design, and doubles the impact of a golden sputnik chandelier.
Speaking of impact, check out this divine green tasseled crystal chandelier! Six perfectly colour matched dining chairs honour the spectacular ceiling fixture.
Why settle for plain coving when you can opt for a border of bold colour? Wrap the stripe around an entire open plan room to give the space cohesivity.
Or, take colour all the way onto the ceiling to bring down high rafters. This scheme employs the help of a sputnik chandelier to help draw the eye upward.
An olive green dining room has deliciously comforting vibes when coupled with a curvaceous wooden dining set. Include a couple of low hanging pendants to add a cosy glow.
Copper accents make a lustrous companion for a green dining room set up. These tufted dining chairs satisfy both sides of the colour brief.
