Olive color in the interior of rooms

Luxurious olive color allows you to create a special, slightly old-fashioned, but nevertheless stylish interior design. Premises in such colors emanate calm, mystery and nobility. With the right combination of colors, the color of the fruit of the southern tree can enliven any room. Correct lighting is also important, which sets off the color palette and creates a unique harmony.

When giving preference to this color scheme, you need to remember that it darkens the room. To prevent this from happening, you must use the following techniques:

• It is recommended to illuminate the room with several lamps with white lamps.
• An olive-toned interior should contain accessories and finishing elements in a snow-white color scheme.

Color combinations

Olive color belongs to the palette of plant shades. Therefore, olive is most successfully combined with sky blue, the tone of lush grass, autumn fallen leaves, and bright flowers. But you shouldn’t use the entire palette at the same time. The purpose and dimensions of the room and the degree of lighting brightness should be taken into account. For example, it is not appropriate to use crimson color in a work office, as it will distract from the work process. But for the kitchen, the tone of ripe raspberries is ideal. In this case, the room will seem more cheerful and bright. In the olive living room in the photo, fuchsia accents will be in place. But for a child’s room, it is recommended to choose less bright color combinations.

For the bedroom, the best choice would be to use chocolate, olive and snow-white. In this case, the furniture can be chestnut in color, the walls are painted in an olive shade, and the curtains and bedspread can be in white. If the white tone does not seem suitable for you, you can replace it with milky or cream pigments. With this solution, the transitions between colors will look more organic.

The olive interior in the hall in the photo is successfully complemented by orange covers on the chairs and capes on the fuchsia furniture. Rich colors combine perfectly, dilute a boring interior, and add a touch of cheerfulness.

Olive color in the kitchen

When decorating a kitchen, do not use one shade. To obtain a beautiful interior, several tones are combined.

In combination with olive color use:

• The whole palette of brown - from chestnut to light coffee shade.
• Bright pigments - lilac, scarlet, lemon, gray.

In the case of a brown palette, you get a calm olive kitchen in the interior, characteristic of the classical direction. Bright colors are appropriate for a fashionable environment, which can be implemented in any modern style. For example, against the background of light gray walls, you can place an olive-colored set, and make the work surface in a dark chocolate color.

The walls can be decorated in olive color, and the kitchen set can be chosen in a soft milky shade. Accents in rich colors will dilute this atmosphere - an orange tablecloth, napkins, a kitchen clock in the shape of a tomato.

Decorating the living room

For living rooms in a classic style, an olive tone is best suited. In this option, you should not use contrasting paints. The main background should not be diluted with other colors. To emphasize the style, it is better to leave the olive color in the interior in the photo in natural tones.

The only thing that can be allowed in such an interior is wallpaper with an unobtrusive floral pattern in a soft milky color and a sofa with a striped pattern.

Olive decor in the bedroom

In the bedroom this color should be light. Since it is necessary to create a calm environment in the rest room, the color palette is selected in gentle, unobtrusive tones. For example, against the background of light olive walls, use milky curtains and a mustard-colored bedspread.

By the way, a floor lamp or bedside rug can be made in mustard color. This color combination will create a calm but interesting environment.

Recommendations from professionals on choosing furniture colors

What color the furniture will be in a particular room depends on the effect you want to achieve as a result. For example:

• To add rigor to modern interiors, use furniture in dark shades.
• Against the backdrop of olive walls, white furniture creates a solemn atmosphere.
• For small rooms, you can purchase furniture made from light wood. Against the backdrop of olive-colored walls, this setting will create a feeling of space.
• If the walls in the kitchen are painted in a light tone, then the kitchen set may well be made in olive color.
