Olive wallpaper in the interior: the main criteria for proper use (22 photos). Olive living room - photos of the most unusual color schemes in the living room Gray with an olive tint

Being a derivative between green, yellow and gray, olive color in the interior of living space is not used as often as it could be. And the reason for this is the intense absorption of light and, as a result, darkening of the room. If you are planning to use this shade of green in the design of a living room, hallway or bedroom, then you cannot do without a thorough study of the theme and techniques that will allow you to create a harmonious interior.

It is the solution to this issue of using olive color that we will tackle today on the “Dream House” website, revealing all the secrets of the successful combination of this color with other shades.

How to use olive color in your living space

Let us warn you right away that if you are not sure that you can use the color of olive in the interior without losing the quality of the “picture,” then it is better to abandon this idea at the initial stage and select shades that are easier to combine. If your decision is firm and cannot be appealed, then our advice will help give the room organicity and completeness.

First of all, it must be said that this color shades the room and makes it a little gloomy. To avoid this effect, you need to use two techniques:

• saturate the room with a sufficient number of lighting sources - and the light should be white, not yellow;
• use light shades in interior design, in particular, olive perfectly refreshes white.

In the first option, equip the room not only with a traditional chandelier in the middle of the ceiling, but also even with directional spots and wall sconces. In the second option, use white inserts as accents - these can be white stripes on the walls, white curtains or snow-white bedspreads and tablecloths. Be that as it may, the white color will do its job and dispel the boredom of muted olive.

What shades does olive color go with in the interior?

Like all plant colors, the combination of olive color in the interior is most successful with natural shades - the color of the sky, green grass, yellow leaves And bright colors. In each individual case, companion colors are chosen individually, depending on the purpose of the room and its orientation in space.

For example, you should not include bright accents, for example, crimson, in the interior of your office - they will simply distract from your work. But this shade will make olive kitchen more cheerful. The same rule applies in other rooms - if the living room can be saturated with color accents, then in the nursery this color will seem somewhat bright.

The olive color of the walls combines especially well with chocolate brown and white. You can use them alternately, or you can use them all together - then white inserts will perfectly dilute the “dry” interior.

If such a radical contrast does not suit you, then adopt a softer combination of muted olive with “delicious” colors of the caramel palette - gently creamy, milky or coffee with milk. In this case, the differences between colors will be smoothed out by pleasant light shades.

Colorful accents in the form of fuchsia chair covers or shelves on the wall will add brightness and ambiguity to the olive interior. Such cheerful colors go well with olive. Among the others, no less bright, we can note: carrot, brick, orange, bright yellow. Of the deep shades, it is good to combine olive with color sea ​​wave, mustard, burgundy. How to use them? It could be a mustard-colored sofa or sea-green curtains - in any case, such a combination will not disrupt the harmony of the interior.

Olive color in your kitchen

Let's see how to use olive color in the kitchen interior. Usually in the kitchen space there is one of two types of combining olive color with others (and in some cases they can even be combined in one room):

• with a brown palette - chocolate, light brown;
• with contrasting colors - light gray, white, red, .

In the first case, we get a peaceful atmosphere, which is more typical of classic interiors; in the second, the olive kitchen turns out to be dynamic and “alive” and fits well into newfangled styles.

What is the best way to use these colors in your kitchen interior? You can install olive-colored furniture with a brown tabletop, and make the main background light gray. Or, on the contrary, you can paint the walls olive green, and the light spot will be kitchen set the color of baked milk. In this case, you can even add bright accents - an orange tablecloth, textile napkins of the same color and a wall picture or a life-affirming orange color.

Psychology of shade

Olive interior will set you up for work

This is the very personification of life, youth and health - this is how adherents of this color explain its perception. However, its related tones are shades of military or khaki (color military uniform), so to many he seems unfriendly and hostile. Perhaps, but this can only be said about dark shades of great saturation, which are rarely used in the color of wallpaper and interior textiles.

Some people associate it with maturity, prudence, and a certain touch of antiquity. Therefore, designers often use olive paint for antique furniture - sideboards, chests, benches. This is the "welcome guest" in country houses and interiors of urban kitchens in retro style.

Advice. If you want to make new upholstery for old upholstered furniture, choose olive velor or flock with a silver tint without a pattern. Designers claim that this is the best choice, emphasizing the exquisite nobility of antique classics.

Many people consider the olive color in the interior to be old-fashioned, but without a doubt this color is calming, mysterious and calm. When you mention this color, these words and associations are the first to come to mind. This interesting shade of color is a combination of three colors of different colors, namely: green, gray and yellow. The combination and different saturation of these components affect the saturation of the olive shade as a whole.

If you pick up the fruit olive tree, then its color will seem to us dark green, mustard, but the most important color of olives is the color of restraint and refreshing coolness. Olive color in the interior differs from dark green or green different levels color rendering under different lighting: sunlight and incandescent light affects it differently. It was this fact that opened up broad prospects for the use of shade in the organization of interiors.

The combination of olive color in the interior

People often wonder what color olive goes with. The answer to this question will be simple rules for using the following color directions:

• Olive combined with brown. These two colors cannot be combined in cooking, but they go well together in interior design. The main rule that must be followed when using brown is to use sufficient lighting, since Brown color absorbs light without reflecting it from its surface. To avoid this, glossy surfaces are often used. In addition, for additional “lighting” you can use white or light insert areas on the walls or in the set. A striking example The following interior design can serve as an option: olive walls and furniture with a brown shade of texture, sofas with brown upholstery and WHITE pillows, capes, etc. It is recommended to combine olive and brown when the room is equipped with large windows on sunny side. In this case, the color combination will be ideal.

• Beige and olive. Beige is an alternative color to brown. Softer, more pliable and more combinable. Most often, ceilings or various accessories are decorated in beige. As a second alternative, you can use a color scheme that will be close to the color of coffee with milk. But additional colors should not dominate the main color - olive. Using more light colors does not exclude options for additional or powerful lighting. For lighting, you can use neutral sources, such as flashlights suspended ceilings. Often only daylight is used. Yellow color from incandescent lamps is unacceptable.

• Various shades of green and olive. Olive green color. Typically, green in various shades is used to decorate kitchens in combination with color olive oil or faint olive color. This combination of colors is called “eco-friendly” and is often done in country cottages and houses. Green cannot be used as a background; it is used in the form of small inserts or background inclusions - arches, inserts in walls, etc.

• Combination with white. White color is perfect for accentuating olive or soft olive. The two colors perfectly highlight each other, so their combination is winning. But the “accentuation” rule can easily be violated: two colors can be used equally in terms of application volumes. As a classic example of wall and floor design, the following color scheme is used: olive shades, a gradient is possible, and the floors are painted in white gloss. You can emphasize the white against the olive background with the help of red or red wine-colored inserts. You need to be as careful as possible with red, since red inherently does not go well with olive.

Combination of furniture of different colors and olive walls

First of all, you need to think about what effect the combination of olive with furniture of the chosen color should have:

• moderate monumentality and solidity can be achieved through the use of dark furniture, which will contrast moderately against the background of soft olive walls. In this style, you can decorate a living room in a classic or art deco style, which can add rigor to modern rooms or interiors;
• furniture in light colors can be used in any style and decor. This range of colors gives the room festiveness, freshness and beauty;
• the use of light-colored furniture is perfect for small rooms, children's rooms, offices, etc. Olive color in the interior practically merges with the color of light green furniture, without contrasting - it calms, has a positive effect on the child's psyche or performance.
• Olive-colored furniture sets are rarely used, as a rule, for kitchens. It looks very unobtrusive and elegant against the background of white walls.

Olive color in the interior of a city kitchen

Olive can be used very interestingly and effectively for kitchens. This color itself adjusts the appetite and is a kind of “outline” for a light meal. As a rule, kitchen interiors are combined with olive colors in combination with the following color schemes, together forming an ideal color palette:

• various tones of brown - from the color of light milk chocolate to rich brown-black;
• with bright expressive colors - purple, white (zinc white), black;

These two olive-toned color combinations are the opposite of each other. In the first case, if you use the color of brown caramel and other shades, you get a general atmosphere of peace and tranquility, regularity, reliability and comfort. In the second case, if you combine olive with soft purple, you get an interior that pushes the owner to act as an introvert, altruism, cheerfulness and non-stop life.

As a rule, the walls in the kitchen interior are decorated in olive color, and curtains, furniture or furniture installed in the kitchen are used as a dilution. For example, the general background created by olive walls is diluted with color spots on tablecloths of cream or any other recommended color, etc.

If the interior of a country kitchen of a cottage or private house is being designed, then it is necessary to take into account the state of lighting and space. Small space The kitchen should be decorated with light olive-colored walls, which is designed to “expand” the space through lighting and light colors. Dimming, on the contrary, significantly changes the design, making the room cozy and comfortable.

Living room decoration in olive tones

This is a new word in the interior, which brings novelty to the usual foundations of design.

• red or burgundy. These colors give additional coziness, comfortable isolation, ideally emphasize the romance of meetings and dinners by candlelight, etc. For decoration, burgundy can be used decorative pillows, curtains, capes, ottomans, etc.;
• use of olive glossy with materials of other textures. The gloss of the walls will be perfectly emphasized by matte or rough inserts in light shades. The use of photographic collages and portraits in light frames or mats is encouraged.

Olive color in the bedroom interior

The color is not intrusive and promotes the rapid onset of sleep against a general background of peace. For use in the interior, it is necessary to use this color correctly.
