Hues of green will be very popular during the fall and winter seasons. Dark olive, in particular, is a color to watch out for when it comes to interior design. It’s the perfect shade to add richness to a room. If you are looking to spice up your kitchen then I would recommend an olive green kitchen. Paint your cabinets with a dark hue to create a luxurious and warm look. No matter what style you want to design your kitchen after, olive green can get the job done. If you’re still unsure about painting your kitchen green, then check out the three reasons why you should just in time for fall!

1. Timeless Color

Olive is a classic color that will never go out of style. It’s sophisticated and will transform any kitchen. Whether you prefer a more modern or traditional-looking kitchen, the olive-colored theme will look amazing in anyone’s home. It complements neutral shades and dark tones such as navy or maroon. You can use olive as an accent shade for a kitchen island to add some contrast to your white or oak cabinets. No matter what season you’re in, your olive green kitchen will remain an eye-catching part of the house. It truly is a timeless color that will elevate the look of your home. You won’t regret having olive kitchen walls.

2. Add Some Drama to Your Life

If you feel like your kitchen is dull, then dark olive green kitchen cabinets are the perfect color to add to make your kitchen pop and stand out! It certainly adds some drama compared to the boring old kitchen colors that everyone else has. An olive kitchen will give you that “wow” factor that you are looking for in your kitchen design. Try adding gold accents and finishes for a more luxurious finish.

3. Be Unique

I guarantee if you walk into your friends’ kitchens, you will not see an olive green kitchen. You will probably see white, grey, oak or amber cabinets. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s so common. Don’t be like your friends! Step outside of the social norm and do something different. Make your house unique! Olive green kitchen paint will elevate any average kitchen style. Design is all about discovering what you like or dislike and having fun with the things you enjoy. An olive green kitchen can help transform the style of your home and your life!

Dark olive green cabinets have so much versatility! There are so many different shades of it you can create a whole monochromatic look in the kitchen just by making things a shade lighter or darker. You can make your counters sage green, cabinets dark green, and tables a farmhouse green. And they also work so well with so many different styles.

How to Pair Olive Green Cabinets With Other Colors

Don’t know what colors go with olive green? We got you! If you’re looking to add some brighter colors to light up your kitchen, white will go super well with your olive green cabinets. Or maybe you want something more cool and neutral-toned. In that case, beige, tan or grey will be the colors for you. If you want some stark contrast of colors in your kitchen, try red or maroon. Contrasting colors help draw attention to the objects and your kitchen will become the ‘main attraction’ of your house. No matter how you’re trying to design your kitchen, there are a variety of colors that can work with olive green. An olive green kitchen with some complementary or contrasting colors will for sure elevate your kitchen and home and create a more elegant and cozy feeling.
