Olive Green Scheme

Curtain wall

A green scheme can often be regarded as “cold”. This is true if the colour has a hint of grey or blue.

For a warmer, richer feel, choose a tone of green which has a hint of brown or yellow such as olive or khaki.

An olive green represents the traditional colour of peace.

Dark wood, natural fibre floor covering, printed fabrics, and house plants have been added to energise this green scheme.

The next step is to layer this scheme with rugs, blinds, art, and mirrors.
