1
Paint the walls in a room green in a shade to create the mood you want. Use bright green to create a cheery, exciting atmosphere or sage or pastel green to create an earthy, relaxing feeling. Create an interesting wall treatment with green paint by applying it as a color wash instead of in a solid coat, using a wet cloth to rub the paint onto the walls instead of a roller or brush.
2
Paint a wooden furniture item with green paint in a shade complementary to the color on the walls. Use a creative painting technique such as antiquing or stippling to make an interesting focal point. Wooden chairs, a side table or a credenza are all good choices to refresh with green paint.
3
Use different hues of green paint on a blank canvas to create a color collage wall hanging. Cover the canvas with green paint and use a painting technique such as smearing colors with sponges or applying paint flecks onto colored surfaces.
4
Change the entry to your house by painting the door green. Use a dark hunter green for a Colonial-style house with a white exterior, or rich sage green for a house with pastel colors.
5
Use green paint to create accents in a room. Stencil a leaf border along the top of the walls in a room, paint a horizontal green stripe border in the middle of the walls or paint the trim in the room green. Dip twigs in green paint, let them dry and arrange them in a vase for a side table or shelf.
6
Decorate lampshades with green paint in creative ways. Speckle white paper shades with green paint, spray paint over leaves from ferns to create a reverse silhouette or sponge paint a lamp shade.
7
Paint the floor green instead of the walls. Use a high-traffic floor paint made to withstand foot traffic.
