Mint Wallpaper

What Mint Wallpaper Is

Mint wallpaper is a wall covering in a pale, cool green with a touch of blue in it. It is fresh rather than soft. That is what sets it apart from sage.

Giffywalls prints every mural to the exact size of your wall. We print this shade most for kitchens, bathrooms and nurseries. Three rooms where people want a lift without a strong color.

Mint, Sage or Sea Green?

These three get mixed up all the time. The difference is easy once you see it.

Sage has gray in it and reads warm and dusty. Mint has blue in it and reads clean and cool. Sea green sits lower and deeper than both. If a room already feels cold, mint will push it further. If a room is full of warm wood and brass, mint gives it the crispness it lacks.

How the Shade Behaves

This color is honest about your light. A north-facing room pulls out the blue and the wall can turn icy. Pick a design with cream or white in the base there. A south-facing room warms it up and the green comes forward. Under warm bulbs at night, mint softens and reads almost like pistachio. That is why a mint kitchen often looks better in the evening than at noon.

Where It Works Best

Kitchens

This is the shade's home ground. Mint sits beautifully with white tiles, brass taps and pale wood. It has a retro streak too, which suits older units and a checked floor. Our wider kitchen wallpaper range has more in the same vein.

Bathrooms

Cool and clean is exactly what you want here. A leaf print or a soft wash on the wall behind the bath works well. Keep the paper clear of the shower and direct splashes.

Nurseries and Kids' Rooms

Mint suits any child, which is why it beats pink or blue for a nursery. It stays calm rather than lively. And it still looks right when the cot becomes a bed.

Home Offices

Pale greens are easy on the eyes through long screen hours. Mint reads crisp on a video call without going stark white.

Pattern or Plain Color?

Both work, but they do different jobs. A plain wash or a fine texture lets the color do everything. It suits a small room or one with a lot going on in it. A pattern gives you more. Leaves, palms, arches and retro shapes all come in this shade. On a big clear wall, a bold leaf print in mint is fresher than the same design in a dark green. Look at our leaves wallpaper range to compare.

Colors to Build Around

Warm white and cream keep it airy. Blush pink is the classic partner and reads retro at once. Terracotta and clay stop it feeling cold. Navy gives it a sharper edge. Brass, oak and cane warm it up, which most mint rooms need. One to avoid: cool gray. It drains the shade and leaves the room looking washed out.

Making a Small Room Feel Bigger

Pale cool colors push a wall back, so mint is a friend to a small room. Take it further by keeping the trim the same shade as the wall. When the skirting and the door frame match, the eye stops counting corners. A pale ceiling and simple blinds finish the job.

Sizing and Fitting

Measure the wall. Send us the width and the height. We scale the design to match, so a leaf never lands half-cut in a corner. Kitchens and bathrooms take steam, so wipe marks gently rather than scrubbing. Renting? Choose peel and stick for a removable wallpaper finish that lifts off without taking paint. Paste-the-wall suits a room that is staying as it is. There is more to see in our full green wallpaper range. Shipping is free on every order.
