Ive never been a huge fan of the colour green, I don't have any in my home, I don't even wear green clothing, but I am trying to change my colour phobic ways, so I thought I would take a look at Olive green!
How Fantastic does olive green look paired with crisp white trims & dark timber furnishings
I have to say I have fallen in love with this room, so light & fresh...
I'm really loving hints of zebra in all sorts of rooms, it tends to add a little more character, the olive is a refreshing accent colour in this very neutral space. Don't you just love that wall of glass, what a clever design idea!
Even though this room is decorated in busy patterns I think the restful colour scheme tends to tone things down a little
Timber & white add a spa like feeling to this bathroom
An ultra modern office that would probably suit any colour scheme...
A simpler more earthy take on the olive green office!
So after saying I'm not a green person I have to admit I did love all of these images, although I think if I where to use olive green in my home I would stick to accent pieces rather than painting my walls.
How about you, do you find it easy being green?

I have always been into green in the home, but now find the 'heritage/country' faze has long passed in me. I have turned to blue when I have never had a blue room, but more in the fresh, and romantic look. I guess our tastes change as we do, but I do love the olive green and the images pictured show it beautifully. I agree that accents are the best way with the ever changing gorgeous interiors out there - then we can have any color we want! Enjoy your week Trish.

Hi Trish,I love anything green..from shabby greens to deep ones..I must admit when I was into traditional country I had it everywhere but now I just have it as a pop of colour.
Have a great spring day...xx
Hi Trish,
I love green because it's soothing AND it's a neutral! Everything goes with green.
Warmly, Michelle
It's amazing that you say green because it's the same color I've been thinking about. I don't think you can go wrong with that color in all honesty. It's relaxing and it's looking like the new neutral nowadays. Good luck on your choice!
I love green in a modern home. It always seems fresh when teamed with white.xx
Hi trish,
I have to say I am totally the same; not much green except for a few little bits in my sons room.. I guess if youre not a green person; youre just not!! Great pics though, and all so restful and calming.
Have a great day!!

Hi Trish! Olive green has never been my thing (my Little Girl has green teamed with pink in her room though), however after browsing your blog today I am looking around the house wondering where else I can work it in - the Study might just be the place.
Thank you for today's inspiration!

I am a green fan from way back but this olive green is just gorgeous! I love that glass wall idea too! Tracey xx
Hi Trish, lovely pictures. I have a white provincial kitchen with a hint of green in the walls. I have hogs bristle on the rest of my walls, 1/4 strength I think. Its quite soothing.

You're so right! I would never have thought olive can work..but when it's teamed with white it looks so fresh!
Great reference shots by the way...

Green is my favourite colour so I find it very easy to live with green. Love the images of the offices. Green teamed with white is always gorgeous! Michelle
I'm not a fan of olive green Trish, but I do love lime. I don't own a single bit of green clothing, my kacky hazel eyes don't do a thing for green!

I am really drawn to greens. Usually the lighter softer greens. I agree with you - I like the addition of zebra and animal prints in general. They are really fun!
Try the green Trish, try the green.
The last image is terrific, I love the use of the plants in amongst the diagonal shelving.

OMG Trish! That is so cool, we have to rent a flat while our house sells, and I just had it painted, you guessed it, olive green! I love it, I couldn't do anything super dark because it's a rental, but it looks so fab. It's olive green and gray, just gorgeous! XX!
I love those glass division.
