The Groovy Goodness of Olive Green Decor
Olive green has been around since the dawn of time, but lately, it’s emerging as a major player in home decor. This earthy, versatile hue brings a sense of groovy calm to any space. Let’s explore why you should join the olive green revolution!
Why Olive?
Like enjoying a tapenade with a crisp white wine, olive green perfectly balances the vibrant and tranquil. It provides a muted vibrancy that energizes without overpowering. This chameleon shade range pairs well with other colors from crisp whites to deep blues. It brings harmony and interest through contrast.
Olive plays well with many styles from modern farmhouse to bohemian. It's associated with nature, growth, and renewal, bringing an organic vibe. And it makes a sophisticated neutral backdrop for punches of color. Try olive walls or furniture then add zing with pillows, art, and accessories in complementary tones.
This Millennial-approved color is nostalgic, reminiscent of the 70s era of shag carpets and earthy craftsmanship. Yet it also feels fresh, forward-thinking, and full of potential, much like a newly ripened olive waiting to be harvested into something delicious.
Decor Ideas
Paint a feature wall or entire room olive to make a design statement. Use multiple shades for a nuanced look. Olive pairs beautifully with white trim, creating a crisp contrast.
Bring in olive upholstery or throw pillows to provide a soothing color against neutral furnishings.
Use olive in entryways or dining rooms to greet guests with an earthy welcome. Mix patterns and textures like woven blankets or ceramic accents for interest.
Add olive kitchen accessories like canisters, dish towels, or tabletop items. Introduce elements of wood and rattan to enhance the organic vibe.
In bedrooms, layer in olive bedding, window treatments, and decorative objects. Teal and plum add nice accent colors.
Olive furniture makes a versatile statement - try a velvet sofa, woven chair, or live edge wood dining table. Then build around it with other elements.
Let olive factor into your exterior too with a front door, shutters, benches, or planters. For patio vibes, add throw pillows, tabletop items, and greenery.
No matter the space, olive is the new neutral that packs a punch. It allows your other pieces to shine while providing an earthy backdrop. So embrace and deploy this multifaceted hue for a look that’s both timeless and of the moment. Find your olive grove - this shade is anything but plain!
