21 Stylish Ways to Incorporate Mint Green Into Your Interiors (2024)

Want to add a pop of color to your home? With a rainbow full of options, choosing the right hue for you is easier said than done. Ideally, you’d want a shade that strikes a balance between bold and soothing, looks good in a variety of spaces, and can withstand the test of time. (And bonus points if the color of your choice is more original than millennial pink—sorry, but someone had to say it.) So, why not try mint?

As a relaxing cross between blue and green, mint can make a statement without upstaging the rest of your space. Plus, with multiple shades and undertones to choose from, mint can be an easy and undeniably elegant addition to any room of the house. But, since decorating with mint is foreign terrain for most, you might be in need of some pointers. A helpful tip to remember? "Stick with mint green on the accent pieces, and a neutral palette otherwise, and you will be sure to create a serene space," says designer Marika Meyer.

Add Mint Tile

Just because your home’s fireplace is invaluable in the colder months doesn’t mean it can’t look good year-round. Danielle Nagel of Dazey Den brought the bohemian spirit to her space by covering the hearth with saturated mint tiles. It’s hard to have one “wow factor” in a colorful room, but Nagel puts the focus on the fireplace by painting the wall above the hearth with a similar hue. Pink mosaic tiles accent the setup, tying the hearth together with the rest of the space.

In this room from Rikki Snyder, a bright mint pairs nicely with sunny yellow, vibrant red, and hot pink.
