Bright Island
"Greenery" may be Pantone's 2017 Color of the year, but there's nothing trendy or fleeting about this space. The green dish display, checked ceiling, and lush island are timeless.

Pretty Pantry
For the pantry, this homeowner painted a screen door from a big-box hardware store the same kelly green as the vintage breakfast table.
Sunny Library
The minty green bookshelf makes the library in this Connecticut farmhouse feel more welcoming and draws attention to the interesting arrangement of books and antiques on its shelves.
Garden View
The owners of this Catskills home coasted this bathroom's wainscoting in not one but two leafy shades of green: Cooking Apple Green and Breakfast Room Green. Here, the custom sink skirt, which features roses and ferns, conceals bathroom clutter. Trellis wallpaper continues the garden theme.
Trellis Headboard
The green trellis headboards add depth without overpowering the space in this guest room because the two shades—Sherwin-Williams' Haven (headboards) and Benjamin Moore's Apple Blossom—are similar.
Perfectly Imperfect
When the owners of this New Hampshire farmhouse removed the wallpaper for this room's renovation, they were initially disappointed to see the green walls beneath, but they've grown to love the color and the age-old vibe.
Raw Materials
A built-in green banquette offers dining space in this California home's kitchen, where lights salvaged from a warehouse add a touch of industrial appeal.
Reading Space
Textile whiz Thomas Paul customized a Ballard chair, upholstering its cushions with Pendleton throws, to create a sweet spot in our 2012 House of the Year guest bedroom.
Camp Lodge Vibe
This Hamptons home's rustic bathroom—painted in Bunker Hill by Benjamin Moore—has a camp lodge vibe.
Farmhouse Porch
The iron daybed on the front porch of this New York farmhouse makes the space comfortable and the family's preferred hangout. The green area rug contrasts the yellow chairs and helps the porch to blend into its beautiful surroundings.
Big Ideas for a Small Space
In this guest room, the built-in cabinetry is painted a muted shade of green that brightens the room.
Cozy Guest Retreat
To play up the snug dimensions of the guest room in this Victorian farmhouse, the homeowner covered the walls and trim with rich green paint. A four-poster spindle bed, outfitted with a striped wool blanket, creates a comfy room-within-a-room feel, while botanical curtains add softness and privacy.
Vintage Industrial
This chunky cedar bed offers rough-around-the-edges appeal to a darker palette of olives greens and deep brown. For a masculine touch, an antique leather surveyor's case rests at the edge of the bed frame. Old zinc Popsicle molds reside neatly beneath a footboard-bench and may pressed into service as vases.
Hideaway Bed
Create a private hideaway with a simple tension rod and curtains. This super cozy sleeping nook, framed by the home's original wood beams features bedding by John Robshaw, complimented by a striped rug from Dash & Albert. The walls are painted a calming green.
Loft Guest Room
Lime-green bedding by Pine Cone Hill and a new skylight brighten up a loft guest room, where Ikea's Shaker-style bed and metal side table mingle with an antique desk and bench.
Bright Kids' Room
A pair of dry-erase maps from Hammacher Schlemmer join forces to become worldly wallpaper. The bed is from Pottery Barn Kids; the linens and green-and-blue basket are from Land of Nod.
Colorful Gingham
This inviting room offers traditional country charm with a few fresh updates. For a fresh, not fussy, approach, stick to one color scheme and balance large-scale prints (like the floral and gingham) with small ones (like the plaid and block print). The wall is painted green to compliment the pink gingham print on the bedding.
A Classic Country Kitchen
In this kitchen, sage and cream cabinetry is paired with butcher-block countertops and a marble backsplash.
