colour Ideas: How to use green paint

10 clever ways to use green paint in your home.  'Just a little green / Like the colour when the spring is born'

Whether you prefer a glossy or matt finish, a bright shade or a moody paint colour, this page deserves to be bookmarked. Our green wall paint ideas for bedrooms, living spaces, hallways and bathrooms are going to come in handy when the time comes to add a feature wall or repaint all four walls of a room.

Remember never to be afraid of colour - after all, you can always start again. As Luke Edward Hall says, 'People spend so long thinking about paint colours, but you can very easily change them.'

'I think it's good to look at lots of different paint brands before settling on a choice. I like Farrow & Ball's range of colours very much, but I won't always find the colour I'm after. Paper & Paints in Chelsea is also a wonderful shop, with a range of punchy colours. Dulux and Leyland are good too though,' says Luke. We favour Little Greene and Edward Bulmer Natural Paints too.
