A front office makes a green statement when entering this West Palm Beach home.

Designers love using green in interior design; often, the moodier the color, the better. In this West Palm Beach home, green became the organizing idea. The four-bedroom home is awash in the color at times.

The Home’s Green Palette Mirrors The Landscaping

The choice to go heavy on green was based on the city’s outdoor way of living. “We brought that green, tropical character inside,” said Angela West, senior manager of design at Pacaso, which sells co-ownerships in luxury vacation homes. That included green shutters, an office with sage walls and palm-leaf wallpaper. The idea was to marry the inside and outside in “one continuous idea,” she said.

Green shutters introduce the color scheme on the home’s exterior.

Architecturally, the house doesn’t veer much from classic coastal Florida design: white stucco, shutters, arched windows and doorways, and an indoor-outdoor flow built around a saltwater pool and covered patio. Construction on the house finished in April 2026.

West and her team began organizing the design palette by sorting through varying shades of the color. “Our approach: keep neutrals as the base, weave in one predominant regional color, then accent it with a complementary color throughout,” she said.

Accents, such as a throw pillow and nightstands, further the green theme.

The vibrant green of the lush plantings around the house sets the tone, picked up on the exterior shutters and green accent tile. It’s furthered inside through indoor plants, a bold green throw pillow, and “a pair of playful green nightstands in a guest room,” West said. “It’s meant to catch the eye and echo what’s happening just outside the windows.”

White accents help outline the sage-green walls in the home’s front office.

Softer, sage greens were used on larger surfaces like walls and in a guest room’s green-toned grasscloth. West shied away from darker, moodier greens to keep the house light and even playful. After all, the property was designed as a vacation home.

Placing green accents near doors and windows helps draw the outdoors in.

For the sage-toned walls, West used Sherwin-Williams Svelte Sage (SW 6164), a soft gray-green with subtle beige and khaki notes.

“The color is quieter and more grounded with a sense of calm that lets the brighter notes sing without competing,” West said. “Used in higher doses, the soft greens hold the room; used in small ones, the vivid greens bring it to life. Together they read as one continuous idea, drawn straight from West Palm Beach’s landscape.”

The walls in the bathrooms use a more subtle green.

Designers are increasingly gravitating to such greens, using them as neutrals. Paint companies are happy to oblige, some featuring a green shade as their Color of the Year. Three paint brands chose green for 2026: Behr, “Hidden Gem”; Valspar, “Warm Eucalyptus”; and Dunn-Edwards, “Midnight Garden.”

Green Accents Are Everywhere In The Home

Upon entering the home, the sage-green office makes the first statement. Throughout the home, white oak flooring and coffered ceilings give the spaces a light, airy feel. The primary suite’s French doors open to more green: the lush landscaping.

Green accents are also found in geometric and hex tile in the baths, a green backsplash in the laundry, green tile that backs a grill in the loggia, and a palm-patterned powder room. The tropical theme shows up most in the guest rooms where West used palm-leaf wallpaper, rattan headboards, and grasscloth.

West noted that the home’s style wouldn’t work everywhere: “It’s a home that could only be here, in West Palm Beach,” she said.
