Hues of green are extremely popular for kitchen designs. Dark olive, in particular, is a color to watch out for when it comes to kitchens. It’s the perfect shade to add richness to a room, it’s calming and stylish and won’t go out of fashion. Here are some advantages of olive green in the kitchen and ways to style such a space.
Why Is Olive Green Good For Kitchens?
Olive is a classic color that will never go out of style. It’s sophisticated and will transform any kitchen. Whether you have a more modern design or a traditional kitchen, the color shade will look amazing in everyone’s home. It compliments neutral shades and dark tones like navy or maroon. More than that, olive green can be pulled off in many kitchens of different styles: mid-century modern and contemporary, industrial and farmhouse, minimalist and Scandinavian. Olive green is perfect for creating moody or, on the contrary, colorful kitchens.
If you feel like your kitchen is dull, then olive is the perfect color to add that drama! 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.
You won’t see olive green in kitchens often, probably no one of your friends has it. Step outside of the social norm and do something different. Design is all about discovering what you like and having fun with it. An olive green kitchen can help transform the tone of your home and your life!

What Colors Go With Olive Green?
Try complementary colors like peach or light pinks for a playful look that will brighten up the room. For a daring look, pair olive green walls with pink kitchen cabinets. Or try pale pink walls with olive units for a more classic look, that’s equally fun. Choosing contrasting colors like blue and green is great for defining the space and differentiating cooking from dining areas – for example, use blue on the kitchen island only to separate it from the rest of the room. Tie the two colors together with light greys or whites to keep the whole space feeling cohesive. Black and white are always among the coolest colors for pairing them with anything as they are universal, and here they will add a fresh and bright touch to the space.
