Color Fabulous: Olive Trends

by / Friday, 31 August 2012 / Published in Color Crush, INSPIRATION STATION

Olive green is a color people may not think to use in interior design as often as other colors, but it can actually create a very comfy and soothing aura. I

t is a great color to use in combination with other colors or other shades of green.

We hope this post inspires you to expand your color choices. You might surprise yourself and actually really enjoy something different.

The olive is a great combination with the different greens in this room and there are a variety of shapes and patterns- I love it!

Olive is a great earthly tone so it goes well with the browns in this room as well as the plant, giving it a very natural look.

Olive is a unique color to use for a home office. It really makes the white bookshelves pop on the wall.

Olive is a wonderful color to combine with yellow, like the combination in the bedroom above.

The olive sofa and love seat compliment a very natural looking room that creates a space anyone could call home.

The olive green chairs contrast nicely against the black theme of the room. Great idea for a kid’s craft room!
