A mint green bedroom allows you to fall asleep in a soothing atmosphere and wake up with a refreshing kick of colour. For quick, simple updates to neutral backdrops, look to bedding, window treatments and cushions to introduce just a hint of mint. Consider sprucing up your old cupboards, chairs or shelves with a lick of Crystal Surprise 6.

To make a serious impact in a small bedroom, choose two shades of mint. Coat your walls with the lighter tone and your bed frame or statement furniture in the darker shade. When you use Dulux Light + Space Matt, the light-reflective particles contained in the formula will add to mint’s ability to enhance a sense of spaciousness. Top the look off with playful patterns and textures in tonal or complementary colours.

Add to the outdoorsy vibe with natural wooden furniture and darker tones of green for statement or dining chairs.

Complete the design with lush plants and wicker baskets for storage. For a bit of modern edge and sophistication, include artwork with black frames.

If you’re looking for an eclectic scheme, pair dark brown cabinets with mint green paint on a feature wall behind them. Keep things fresh with splashes of bright white for tiles, window or door frames. Contrast the colour with a lick of dusky pink or coral paint for accents on stools, drawers or accessories.
