• Green Accent Pieces
• Green Plants
• Green Statement Piece
• Green Paired with Another Color 

Single Color Green

Using a single color can have a major effect on a room’s atmosphere. 

A dorm room with a single color for a theme can look really good, especially when that color is green. That means that green will be the dominant color in your bedroom. To pull off this style, you will have to choose green for every room decoration you are able to, your bed sheets, wall hangings, your curtains, and whatever else you can make green. This will give you super bright and vibrant results. You should also have a lot of fun with your green shades and patterns. It will keep your room from appearing too monotone even with the single color theme. 

Using different shades of green for most items will give the room depth. This theme will make your dorm room appear both cool and neat. There is something exciting about leaning all the way into bright color, but it won’t end up looking too wild. The single color will make your space look neat and give it a put-together feel. 

Green Accent Pieces

Accent pieces are normally small, but make a big impact when used in abundance. 

One way to fill your room with green is to use accent pieces. Instead of making the main elements in your room green, fill it with many small green objects. Green can end up making just as powerful a statement when used in this way. The main elements in your room can be anything that looks good with green. The green will end up standing out a lot more if you are to use neutral colors. 

There are many ways to incorporate green accent pieces into your space. There are throw blankets, throw pillows, storage containers, rugs, and wall art. A combination of these things plus any other small green bedroom items you can find will make all the green in your room stand out in a really cool way. 

This botanical throw pillow from OCM is a great option for adding a small green accent piece to your dorm room. It will look great paired with several bright colors and all neutral colors. You can get several of these and place them on different surfaces in your room. This pillow is made with 100% polyester and filled with a soft, fluffy filling. It not only looks great, but is also really comfortable!

This pale army green Martex Cotton Blanket from OCM will work well inside your green themed dorm room. It adds a pop of green that isn’t at all overpowering. It is a soft color that will fit well with other similarly subdued colors. This green will stand out a lot when placed against neutral or faint colors.

Green Plants

Plants are a big part of what makes the spring season what it is. You can bring that green vibe into your dorm room. 

Plants can add a lot of the color green into a dorm room. You can add plants to add even more green to a room or even use them on their own. If you use enough plants, they will be able to turn your dorm room into a green oasis on their own. If you’re worried about taking care of plants while also focusing on your school work, we assure you that won’t be much of a problem. Certain plants can very much survive and even thrive in an indoor space with little maintenance. There are plants that only need to be watered every few weeks. You just have to know what to get. 

Not every plant needs tons of attention and sunlight. Some of those plants include cacti, bamboo, ferns, and aloe vera plants. Cacti require very minimal maintenance. They will be just fine if you forget to water them for a while because of how they store water to survive in their dry natural habitats. It is the perfect plant for a busy college student! Bamboo is another low maintenance plant that will improve your dorm room’s appearance. Aloe vera is another one, as it can thrive with just medium levels of sunlight. Some of these plants only need to be watered once a month. They are perfect for busy college students. 

Snake Plant

Snake plants are easy to grow and easy to maintain because they are practically indestructible. They can thrive in dark areas as well as they can in bright sunlight. But even though they will stay alive when left in the dark, they won’t grow as much. Snake plants grow a lot faster when kept in the sunlight. While this plant is just fine if it’s left underwatered, it does not do too well if it is overwatered. 

Pothos Plant 

A pothos plant is another one that is easy to care for. They do well with bright lighting and in dim lighting. They also do just as well in soil that is low in nutrients as they do in high nutrient soils. Pothos plants can grow when kept in a vase with water just as well as they can grow in soil. This plant does very well when kept inside at average room temperatures. 

It is easy for it to grow to long lengths, so you have to make sure to keep it trimmed, unless unruly vines across your room fit the look you want to achieve. You can set them up to display along your bedroom walls. Vines along your walls can make your room look like a garden. You can even get fake plants that look similar to pothos plants if maintaining super long pothos sounds like too much. 

Monstera Plant

A monstera plant is a tropical plant that does best in bright yet indirect sunlight. It needs to be kept in a room that gets lots of natural sunlight, but kept away from windows where it would get too much sunlight. Room temperature is ideal for a monstera plant. You must also make sure not to water it too often. You should only water it once the soil has gone dry. These plants can grow quite large. If that is something you want to avoid, keep them in more dimly lit areas so they won’t grow too out of control. 

Green Statement Piece

A statement green wall will make this spring color a prominent one in your space. 

You can decorate with the color green in a big way with a large statement piece. Your dorm room can be decorated with any color, preferably ones that will look good with green, and then you can add a statement piece to it. This statement piece should make green the dominant color in your dorm room even if nothing else is green. You want it to be something that sticks out from the rest of the items in your room. It should be the first thing that anyone sees when they step inside. 

A good statement piece that can dominate the room would be something that goes onto the wall. It should be something that takes up a lot of wall space and stands out from the rest of the room. One good option would be a tapestry. A large tapestry can change the whole vibe of a room. Another way to do this would be to use temporary wallpaper. Temporary wallpaper will completely set the theme of your dorm room and can be easily removed when it needs to be. 

This OCM tapestry will make a statement when placed against your wall. It is made from lightweight polyester that makes it easy to pack. To achieve the look of a bold statement piece, you should get the largest size that will fit on your walls to make sure green stands out as a prominent color. This tapestry can completely set the tone of your bedroom. 

Green Paired with Another Color

Certain colors look amazing when paired with green. 

Green can look awesome when paired with other colors. Just one other color that is complementary to green will look amazing when used along with it. Green is an easy color to find matches for, especially among spring colors. Outside, you’ll see many colors paired with green. There are all the flowers with green stems, trees filled with leaves and flowers, and green grass contrasted with colored buildings and pavement. When you decide on the right colors, you then have to choose how to pair those colors together to look their best. 

Some colors that look really good with green are pink, yellow, orange, and red. Any one of these colors will work very well alongside green and help to give your room a springtime vibe. You also have to coordinate your items well. Make sure the colors you decide on fit together in the space. If the theme you choose is green and yellow, if you get a green comforter, add yellow pillows to the bed. Add green throw pillows to a yellow chair. Yellow and green wall decorations will also go a long way. Focusing on just two colors will give your dorm room a somewhat sophisticated look even when you’re using incredibly bright colors that typically give off a more fun vibe. 

This pink EcoPure blanket from OCM is soft, cotton, and a great color to pair with green. It offers an even distribution of warmth, so you’ll stay warm and comfortable while making your dorm room look great.
