An emerald green velvet sofa also serves as a unique statement piece and can help you bring an earthy feel into your home. But the couch’s deep green often causes people to wonder how they can best incorporate it into their décor.
Indeed, knowing how to decorate will enhance your emerald green velvet sofa’s effect and prevent it from looking out of place. Below, we’ll get into how you can decorate your couch to make the perfect-looking room.
Bring in Nature
A green velvet couch gives nature-lovers the perfect opportunity to bring their love of the outdoors into their homes. The deep, rich green of the cushions becomes enhanced when you bring in leafy plants and place them around the room using an Etsy planter.
Many types of plants will work well with your dark green couch. However, you should use plants with deep green leaves sparingly. Space 2 or 3 large plants around the room. Otherwise, the room may appear too dark.
If you want to incorporate more plants into the room, choose some smaller ones. You can even make your plants more special by buying the Birth Month Flower Grow Kit from Uncommon Goods.
Here are some great plants to incorporate into your decorating:
- Bamboo palms
- Anthuriums
- English ivy
- Boston ferns
- Sanseveria
If you want to relax in your nature-based sanctuary, consider getting a matching ottoman from Macy’s.
Add in Hardwood Floors
Since the emerald green velvet sofa has a natural color, it will go well with many other colors found in nature. As such, many people find that the brown hues in hardwood flooring complement the emerald green velvet sofa quite well.
There are many different types of hardwood floors for you to choose from. If you prefer your green velvet couch to stand out a little bit more, opt for lighter hardwood. If you enjoy earthier tones, get darker wood.
Whenever you add in hardwood (which you can do through a remodel), make sure you get a protective coat placed over your new flooring. That way, it won’t get as easily damaged if someone spills something on it.
Use the Right Paint Colors for a Green Velvet Couch
Your paint colors will either clash with your couch or make it stand out. Because the green velvet couch already has a strong color, most people go with less bold, more neutral tones.
For a cooler, brighter feel, paint your walls pure white. This color lends your space a cleaner vibe and can make the area seem more open. It also makes it easier for you to add other decorative elements since white doesn’t clash with anything.
If you prefer a darker room, paint your walls gray. Gray shades, like white, won’t clash with your couch or your other décor items. At Home Depot, you can find various shades of gray paint, ranging from light to dark.
If you want a more artistic-looking space, consider the following colors, all of which complement emerald green well:
- Pink
- Brown
- Muted gold

Add Coffee Tables and Side Tables
If you want to make your space more enjoyable to spend time in, you’ll want to add more furniture.
At the very least, you should purchase coffee tables and side tables. You can find a great coffee table and side table options at Target.
If you want to incorporate a more cabin-like feel to your room, buy wooden tables. You can increase the rustic atmosphere of the space by purchasing distressed wood furniture.
Marble tables also complement a green velvet couch well. The white, metamorphic stone adds personality and brings out the deep shades of green. If you want to buy a marble side table, check out this one from Anthropologie.
Putting Artwork on the Walls
Most people dislike bare walls but filling them can seem daunting when you don’t know how to decorate them.
Fortunately, having an emerald green velvet sofa can give you some direction. If you hang up artwork, look for pieces that have the same emerald green in them. This will make the colors on the couch really pop.
Alternatively, you could go with simpler art. Simple line art and black and white pieces draw out the vibrant hues of the couch. If you want to look at your options, check out At Home’s collection!
Getting the Right Décor for Your Green Velvet Couch
The green velvet couch can help you make your home feel more stylish and relaxing.
The decorations also allow you to give the room more personal touches. If you want to add some coziness to your emerald green velvet sofa, consider getting some throws or pillows from Target.
