Walls

Paint your walls either chocolate brown or mint green for an instant makeover. However, if the living room is tiny, you might want to shy away from painting it a dark brown. This can make the room feel even smaller. The wrong shade of green can also make you feel slightly suffocated. The solution is to alter the color slightly. You can still keep the dark brown and mint green theme going without overdoing it on your walls. Light brown or soft, pale green walls can subtly tie your chocolate and mint living room together. Alternatively, paint your walls a cream color and leave the chocolate and mint hues to the furniture and decorations in the room.

Furniture

Green furniture can look a bit dated; therefore, for the color scheme it's best to stick with brown furniture. Purchase a brown love seat or a brown couch and two brown chairs. For cream or brown walls, have your window treatments in a mint color. For green walls, choose brown window treatments. Because dark brown is a heavy color, stay away from a heavy curtain materials like velvet. To prevent the room from becoming too dark, mix in some light-colored furniture like white end tables, a white ceiling fan and a light wood coffee table.
