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.
I love how everything turned out and the price point was great. It was a bit challenging to piece together. Being from the USA, it was kind of a challenge to convert all the measurements to figure out how many rolls I needed and then where to cut the rolls to line up the images based on the design repetition. Luckily, I had plenty of wallpaper to work with on the roll.
Absolutely beautiful design and texture. Got the heavy duty wallpaper and put it up without any previous wallpaper experience and it went up very easily and beautifully. Definitely recommend.
Extremely helpful and supportive when I needed advice on measurements, with fast delivery too. The quality of the wallpaper is excellent, and I’m really pleased with the overall service. Highly recommended!
Gorgeous wallpaper, but the measuring option on the website left us short by 1 roll. Had to order another one but when it came the colour match was perfect. Thankfully I wasn’t paying for a decorator, otherwise would have been disappointed in having to pay for them to return. Otherwise great quality wallpaper and design compared to other similar products available.
First purchase from claret and key and truly impressed. Beautiful quality wallpaper. Pretty yet not too fussy. Easy to hang, cut and match. Would work in any room
Good tracking and delivery service too.
Definitely recommend and would reuse for future projects.
Everything went really good. Apart from the quality of the wallpaper which is fantastic, the staff were exemplary in their communications, friendliness and professionalism. They really did go the extra mile to help me.
A great experience all round.
Thank you.

Lovely pattern and paper quality.
However, I wish that I had paid more attention to the roll width measurement.
For some strange reason your paper is narrower than a standard roll. This caused me a great deal of problems when papering my lobby, a small area but that made it more difficult because I was left with a narrow space to fill on 3 walls with a very long drop.
Although I love the paper I probably wouldn't use it again just for this reason.
Why you would produce paper not of a standard width is for you to know and me to wonder but it has made my small project very difficult.
Used this paper to make a dark study cosier. Absolutely loved the colour - the background is a perfect match to our existing panelling painted in Farrow and Ball Old White. First time using paste the wall and it was a revelation so easy and much less mess. Quality of the paper is great but noted the rolls are slightly narrower than most wallpapers. Loved the pattern match which meant little waste what we had left we used to recover some old box files which was easy. I thoroughly recommend.
Great quality wallpaper! The print is beautiful, the wallpaper is thick, and fairly easy to install. Our small area took about an hour and a half because we had a lot of of awkward cuts.
Will definitely be using this brand again!
The paper was just hung and we are thrilled.
The quality of the paper, ease of working with it, (per the paper hangers), your customer service, all were exceptional. We will be ordering again. Thank you!!
Fabulous wallpaper and excellent customer service. This Bronte wallpaper has given my kitchen a new lease of life. Will definitely buy from here again.
