Green Wallpaper: Shades, Styles & How to Make It Yours
The Colour of the Natural World
There's a reason green feels so restful: it's the colour of the natural world, of gardens and woodland and the first green of spring. Bringing it indoors brings a little of that calm with it. Green is grounding, refreshing and endlessly versatile — it works as a soft, tonal neutral or a rich, dramatic statement, and it flatters almost every other colour under the sun. From the palest sage to the deepest forest, green is one of the easiest and most rewarding colours to live with.
At Claret & Key, green is never a compromise. Because every design is drawn in-house and printed to order in your chosen colour way, you choose the exact green you want — and any of our designs can be made in it. Your shade, your pattern, made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
A shade for every mood
Green's range is remarkable. A soft sage or eucalyptus is calm, gentle and almost neutral. A fresh mint or light green feels bright and uplifting. A muted olive or khaki brings an earthy, grounded warmth. And a deep forest or emerald green is rich, dramatic and beautifully enveloping. Whether you want quiet and restful or bold and jewel-like, there's a green for it, and we'll print your design in precisely that tone.
The art of pairing green
Green plays beautifully with others. Green and blue is fresh and natural, like a garden by the sea. Green and pink is a modern classic, cheerful and full of life. Green with warm brass or gold feels luxurious, and green with crisp white feels clean and botanical. Against a green ground, a floral, leaf or bird design really comes alive.
Where green works
Green suits every room. In a living room, a deep forest green feels handsome and enveloping. In a bedroom, a soft sage is restful and calming. In a kitchen, fresh greenery feels clean and natural against pale cabinetry. And in a hallway or study, green lends a smart, grounded edge. Its natural, earthy quality makes it one of the most soothing colours to come home to.
Choosing your green
Because we print to order, the shade is entirely yours — and green reads very differently by daylight and lamplight, so it's worth choosing carefully. Every design comes in three finishes: Traditional (150gsm, super-matte), Heavy-Grade (300gsm) and Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm), all printed on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper.
Order a sample and see your green in your own light, morning and evening, before you commit.
Green is the colour of the natural world, so it brings a restful, grounding calm indoors. It's remarkably versatile — soft sage works almost like a neutral, while deep forest green makes a rich, dramatic statement — and it flatters nearly every other colour, which is why it's so widely loved.
What shade of green should I choose?
It depends on the mood you want: sage and eucalyptus for calm, mint and light green for a fresh lift, olive and khaki for earthy warmth, or forest and emerald for rich drama. Because we print to order, you choose the exact tone.
What colours go with green wallpaper?
Green pairs beautifully with blue for a fresh, natural feel, with pink for a cheerful modern look, with warm brass and gold for luxury, and with crisp white for a clean, botanical scheme. It's one of the most companionable colours there is.
Can I get any design in a custom green?
Yes — that's the beauty of printing to order. You choose the exact green you want, and any of our designs can be made in it, so the colour is never a compromise, made especially for you.
This wallpaper is just gorgeous! I used the one that requires glue and it was super easy to i stall. One roll was enough for a 6’ wide laundry closet with 7’5” ceilings. Even on our orange peel walls it set beautifully. I did this behind our new washer dryer set up in our laundry closet with white oak cabinets and it’s perfect! Highly recommend!
Truly love this wallpaper. Looks amazing in both our bathroom (the original project) and as an accent in the back of a cabinet (what we did with the extra). Everyone who sees it comments on how classy and beautiful it is. For these reasons five stars!
However I do want to call out two concerns:
1. The online "calculator" on the site recommend nine roles, which seemed excessive for our less than 100 sq ft bathroom. I even reached out to support to double check and they said to go by the calculator. I'm glad I didn't because I ended up ordering five roles and only needing 4. I will say returning the 5th role was a pretty smooth process, so kudus to Claret and Key for that.
2. Strangely the "autumn" color with pale nutmeg background reads more green than brown in certain light. With bright overhead light it comes across as the soft brown we intended, but in natural light it reads much more green. Not anything to terrible just unexpected.
Beautiful paper! Our decorator commented on its quality and how nice and easy it was to work with compared to other wallpaper he had used in the past. Thank you.
So in love with this wallpaper. We wanted a cosy cottage bedroom vibe so we chose the Eloise. It’s such a pretty design that completely transformed the space. The wallpaper is such great quality .We have very uneven walls but didn’t have any issues. Hanging it was a joy. Highly recommend.
We used Blanche to paper some built in wardrobes that double up as room dividers. It was brilliant to be able to sample several background colour options and we are delighted with the finished result
Thank you. Fabulous Wallpaper.
Great quality paper and easy to hang.
The design is so rich in colour and adds such decadence to my dressing area. Now for the finishing touches.
Poor customer service - rolls are only available as one off 10m runs, so if you need 11m.. unfortunately you’ll be paying double for a second roll! Unless your walls are 8m or less, I’d avoid. Wrongly assumed Claret & Key would be slightly more compassionate about the situation and even help with a slightly discounted second roll, considering we only needed 1m. How wrong we were!
Store owner replied:
Hi Emily,
I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the service.
We sell our wallpaper by the roll, and we are unable to manufacture shorter rolls. This will be the same for most manufacturers as 10m rolls are standard, and most rooms require more than 1 roll to complete the job.
Thanks,
Claret & Key
I really loved this paper and thought it would look nice in my attic space. Delighted with the end result. Great service, excellent quality of paper and it really transforms the room. The eves are very low so the space was not utilised so making a feature with the wallpaper has created a cosy space to relax in. Thank you. M
Love this wallpaper. It’s just enough to show a statement but not so loud that it overpowers the space. Being able to pick the color is such a great thing also. You’re not stuck with 5 options so it can match your style and colors of your space. Would recommend to anyone looking for wallpaper. Very happy and my installer said its super easy to install this pattern.
This wallpaper is thick and sturdy. It’s very easy to work with and easy to apply. It was my first time hanging wallpaper and this paper was very forgiving. Great product!
