In the living room, it is important to create a sense of light, which this tone copes with. You can use it in accents: put two menthol sofas in the room. They will look great against a brown floor and the same color of one wall. The remaining walls are decorated with wallpaper in light gray. A gray carpet of faux fur is laid on the floor between the sofas. A wood table, chairs with light gray leather upholstery, white blinds complete the design. This is just one of many options.
Bedroom
In the bedroom with three gray walls, the menthol color of one wall will revive the interior. It is appropriate to hang a mirror on it, and put down a white table with drawers for cosmetics.

Dining is arranged in a well-lit room. The walls in it are painted under baked milk. A motley beige-brown carpet is laid on the floor. It will look good on a bleached wood table. Chairs of light green tone will bring a sense of freshness to the design.
Children's room
Making a nursery is a difficult process. The room should be bright, clear and not boring at the same time. It is recommended to paint the walls in mint, choosing a calm tone. Floors should be made from natural parquet. The fittings of the crib and the carpet on the floor are selected in light gray. A beige cabinet with a terracotta box will bring the design to life. We put large soft toys in the crib, and on the rug we put a wooden zebra-rocking chair. We complement the atmosphere with a chair with gray upholstery and a cheerful pillow at his back.

The bathroom is designed to relax or energize. Mint tones on the walls are combined with a light beige flooring. On the last, a light green strip around the perimeter will look beautiful. We choose plumbing in a white shade or under baked milk.
The color of the clarified sea wave looks beautiful in the bathroom on the walls. You can also pick up mint furniture, and glue the walls with light gray tiles with a greenish pattern. Mirrors with frames of menthol color will combine the interior into a single whole.

- Walls with a headset in a neutral tone (white, gray, brown) are painted in a mint range. This gives the room freshness and spaciousness. If greenish furniture is used, then the walls should be finished with a color that matches it: gray or beige. Dark shades should not be used. With a monophonic headset, you can glue the walls with wallpaper with a green pattern.
- The floor is darker than the walls and ceiling. The classic version is a dark floor, light walls and a ceiling. For the floor, a rich mint color is used with gray walls and a white ceiling. If the walls are painted in mint, the floor should be made dark brown. You can put a lighter mat on it.
- The ceiling in the mint room is made white or the color of baked milk. Perhaps a light gray solution. When using greenish shades for the ceiling, they are diluted with white. The lighter the ceiling, the higher it will appear.
