Blue and Green Living Room Paint Ideas
Victorian Opulence
According to Stylish Living Room Ideas, a traditional or Victorian living room design style uses muted and lighter colors of green and blue. In country areas during the Victorian era, paints were mixed using pigments and available local ingredients. Blue-green color wash for wooden paneled walls was made with eggs and buttermilk, says the Victorian Station. Blue and green living room wall colors could range from light to dark, depending on the home's location (darker in cities) and the room's significance, as "deep, rich colors enhanced the importance of a room," according to Victorian Station. For a Victorian look, paint walls blue or green--light hues if the room tends to be darker and has less lighting, dark hues if the room has plenty of light. According to Decorator Secrets, Victorian homes looked dark due to a lack of light and heavy window treatments. Add gold trimmings and heavy materials for curtains and heavyset furnishings with embellishments to mimic Victorian opulence.

Beach Inspired
Blue and green decor with a cool, light-colored backdrop evokes the beach house or coastal cottage feel, according to Sunset Magazine. Paint walls and molding with creams, whites and/or neutrals to contrast the blue and green decor. If the blue and green palette includes deep hues (emerald green, turquoise, marine blue), opt for white paint as "eye-catching accents in sea glass colors look best against bright white walls," says Sunset. Subdued, or pastel, blues and greens look best against a cream-colored or beige wall color, creating a more casual and cozy nautical look.
