Green is having a major moment in home decor, and it's not hard to see why. A versatile tone, green can inspire tranquility and calm or make a moody, bold statement. From olive to sage to hunter, we love decorating with green, especially in the living room. Whether you're into a modern look or you opt for more neutral shades of green, these beautiful green living rooms prove that it's truly a color for every home.

This stunning room from @naptimestyle proves that you don't have to settle for just one shade of green in your living room.
