How do I style this awful green colour DS has picked for his room?

[GreenMeany]

He's 12 and I stupidly said he could choose his new bedroom colour.

This is what he's chosen.

Dulux Kiwi Crush.

He has a white wooden high sleeper bed and I was getting him malm drawers in grey but I dunno now.

What floor/bedding etc will make it not look like toxic vomit 😂😭😭

I didn't run the household as a democracy

I shall steal this.

I like it and personally I’d put it with a light sunny yellow to give a feeling of sunshine through spring leaves.
Or a warm yellow cream.

Love it with white/neutrals.

I would just let him choose what he wants to go with it, he is going to be in it for at least the next 6 years. Mine chose dark navy blue and bright yellow paintwork, it was vey dark. I think you just shut the door

It's his room. Let him choose!

Lol, my mum still brings up the "red paint" incident, where they'd kindly offered to redecorate my bedroom when I left school to reflect that I was now "grown up". As it was the 90's I chose a very post office red colour on the walls.

I bloody loved that room.

My Mum was not impressed, however, when I moved out less than a year later, leaving her with a bright red room she hated!

I am regularly reminded of this, over 25 years later!

Why not agree on a budget and get him to choose the 'styling'?

I'm pleased to see how many posters love the colour! It's the colour we chose when we had a new kitchen fitted. The kitchen units and roman blinds broke up the colour and brightened a room which can be dark when the sun is in the west. Let your son have his choice of colour. Perhaps the walls can be broken up with framed posters if you really do find the colour too much. I see that some posters are suggesting you only use the colour on one wall, wouldn't it be better to use it on two walls if you're not going to use it on all four walls?

He will probably want to choose the bedding as well so I would give up on styling

Navy and white, or darker green and cream for me. Possibly with a few pops of orange.

I think grey goes with the green but not with the pine furniture.

Navy blue and white for accessories I would think. And if you can persuade him to have it on just one wall even better :)

That's not a very calming colour for sleeping in. I wonder if you toned it down a bit and went for a less 'in your face green' would be even notice.

I let my 11 yr Ds choose his bedroom colour… he chose an eye-bleeding lime green too!! I got him to agree to some navy blinds, bedding etc so it wasn’t so 😮😮 I grew to like it any it certainly gave the room a glow that could be seen from outer space

Yes I would be tempted to swap it for a very similar but slightly less neon green.

For example the first pic in Keroppi’s post has a similar but much more liveable colour.

But then it wouldn't be the OP's son's choice of colour.

Looks quite nice put together. It's giving 90s green. Agree it's his room and he might as well go the whole hog seen as the walls are not green.

Use lots of blues - teal , turquoises to tone down the warmth of that beautiful but bright green. Navy is a bit of a high contrast, imo. I'd add alot of white too. He will tire of it alot less quickly if you can go a tone or two more neutral. Natural warm woods or bleached /grayed woods would add a natural touch. Rattan maybe or wicker also.

Have fun. Your son will surely love it.

If he goes for the stripes, navy, grey and white would go well with it and probably last a few years as it's not really age specific. Reminds me of when I was the same age and had a bright orange bedroom complete with bright yellow ceiling and carpet!! Certainly stood out in my mums grey/monochrome house! (This would of been mid 90's, my mum was ahead of the times!)

My son had this, we had blue bedding and curtains etc.

I know someone whose kitchen is that colour.

White furniture.
Pale grey curtains.
Grey and navy linens.

That's what my son chose when he was 12. Dh called it Shrek green. We hated it, but left him with it until he left high school and painted it over, it took a lot of coats to cover it.

You could go for a tropical feel with orange

My nephew’s room is this exact color. Sister decorated with white furniture, with green and navy decor
