Move over sage, mint, and lime, and make way for olive green. Warm and inviting, olive green is showing up in interiors everywhere, and for good reason. Both timeless and trendy, olive green is earthy and inviting and will add warmth and beauty to any room in your home.

Olive green is the new neutral

If you prefer the subtle look of neutral paint colors but want something different for a change, olive green is a great choice. Olive green will not overpower a room and it has just the right amount of color to add interest to a room. It is a good choice if you want to paint your entire interior in the same color, as it will make the transition from room to room easy on the eye.

If you are not ready to go all in with olive walls, use it for an accent wall in a beige room to create a pleasing contrast. You can also use it to refresh windows, doors, molding, or other trim in off-white rooms. 

Olive green plays well with other colors

When it comes to complementing other colors, olive green is a winner. Paired with other neutral shades, such as brown and gray, olive green is sure to grab attention. It also makes a great contrast to buttery shades of yellow or rusty hues of red.

Olive green is associated with peace

Olive branches are often associated with peace, and olive-green paint lives up to its reputation. Green is also associated with health and wellness. Olive green is both peaceful and refreshing and is sure to transform the atmosphere of your home into a peaceful sanctuary.

Olive green works with any decorating style

Olive green will be at home with any decorating style. In rustic, farmhouse, and country homes olive green is the perfect match with the wooden furniture common in these styles. Olive is a natural fit with the distressed white furniture used in coastal or cottage homes and it has just enough subtle color to soften the look of modern or contemporary styles.

If you are looking for a new color to transform the look of your home, olive green will not disappoint. Often considered a neutral shade due to its earthy undertones, olive green is a refreshing change from standard neutrals like beige, gray, and off-white. It will be just as welcome in the kitchen as it is in the bedroom and will bring a feeling of peace and serenity to your home.
