Wood - this is the most common option. The material is environmentally friendly, natural, durable and looks very beautiful. Natural wood for decoration is quite expensive, so you can consider modern analogues that are cheaper in price and not much different, for example, chipboard or MDF.

How to complement basic green
When a green bed in a bedroom interior is not the only detail decorated in a natural tone, difficulties often arise with choosing the rest of the palette. Large surfaces can be green (wall decoration, ceiling, curtains); in this case, the interior will be harmonious if you choose one main shade, for example, olive or pistachio.
If, in addition to the bed, accessories or decor are planned to be green, it is recommended to complicate the palette with accent colors. Apple, light green, lime, chartreuse, and ultra-green tones will help add juiciness to the atmosphere. Basic green can be supplemented as follows:
- Olive bedroom. Olive is a natural shade; its predominance makes the interior cozy and harmonious. As a companion to olive, choose brown, mustard, light yellow tones. The combination of light olive with dark gray looks interesting. If the olive color seems old-fashioned and boring to you, nothing prevents you from using it fragmentarily, in the form of upholstery on an ottoman or a rug near the bed.
