Bedrooms are often decorated in olive or pistachio colors. The main characteristics of the color scheme:

• helps to calm and eliminate anxiety;

• looks harmonious in the room and does not change brightness regardless of the light level.

The main advantage of olive tones in interior design is the ability to make the bedroom more noble and modern. Besides this color is more lively and energetic compared to the classic gray, beige or even white.

An olive bedroom requires the use of special materials to decorate the ceiling, walls and floor. Designers are advised to pay special attention to the selection of finishing materials.

Any shades of olive are suitable for decorating the walls of the bedroom: from light to dark. In this case, a combination of paint and wallpaper will look very good. Designers are advised to experiment with wall decoration. So, you can paint one part of the room in a dark olive shade, and decorate the opposite side with a light color. This contrast will attract attention and make the room feel cozy.

If you choose among other finishing materials, then the olive color will look good when using decorative plaster. When choosing this material, preference should be given to reliable manufacturers.

For finishing the bedroom floor, choose:

• parquet;
• laminate;
• linoleum.

Designers give preference to light colors. Bleached oak works well. Such a choice will perfectly fit into the olive interior and maintain the uniqueness of the design.

The traditional option is a white ceiling. Recently, however, interior designers have chosen to go beyond the ordinary. For finishing the ceilings in the bedroom, you can use:

• plasterboard structures;
• glossy and matte stretch fabrics;
• multilevel ceilings.

It is better to give preference to white or cream colors. Also, in the decoration, you can use delicate olive shades, with which you will be able to emphasize the beauty of the style. Remarkably, olive-toned bedrooms look good in a wooden house.

To arrange a bedroom in olive shades, you need to take care of the correct arrangement of furniture. This will help focus the attention of visitors to the room on the right things and make the interior more comfortable.

When choosing olive-colored furniture, the walls should be:

• white;
• beige;
• cream.

Snow-white furniture will look attractive against the background of dark olive walls in a warm shade. If, in addition, it is planned to place a wardrobe, sideboards or a chest of drawers of impressive size in the bedroom, then you can decorate the structures with mirrors, photo printing. Such a solution will help the furniture fit into the interior, the headset will be in perfect harmony with the olive color.

Before talking about the successful combinations of olive with other shades of the spectrum, it is necessary to consider the basic rules for the ratio of colors. Standard ratio of used shades in the interior:

• 60% - the main color of the walls;
• 30% - the second color (furniture, upholstery, textiles);
• 10% is accounted for by decorative elements.

Let's list other equally important rules for creating a comfortable and stylish design

1. Interior accents. They will help to make the room individual, relieve from the monotonous design. The successful placement of color accents will refresh the living space, the rule for the minimalism style is especially relevant. So, you can dilute olive with yellow, blue, red or green.
2. Analog colors. The best solution for decorating a bedroom is with colors that are located next to the olive shade in the color scheme. A competent combination of colors will make the interior calm, and turn the room into a place to relax.
3. Classic black. Despite the use of olive color, which can be called rather gloomy, in the interior, designers are advised to add black to the project. With this color, it will be possible to emphasize the brightness of the room.

So, there are two options for combining olive with different shades: bright and neutral. It is worth considering each in detail.

What colors will help create a unique and stylish design? I should think. If you carefully examine the color wheel, you can conclude that olive will look good with:

• blue;
• green;
• blue;
• chocolate;
• caramel.

You can also use green and red shades to decorate the bedroom.

Among the neutral shades, you should choose delicate colors:

• White;

• warm gray.

Much depends on how the designer plans to use olive to decorate the bedroom. The final color combination is determined by the project, which takes into account the characteristics of the room and the arrangement of furniture.

Light is something that also needs to be taken into account when decorating a bedroom. Olive has the ability to absorb light, so you need to take care of lighting solutions in the room. In addition to natural light, it is worth considering:

• spot lighting;
• chandeliers;
• sconces.

Other sources of additional light are also suitable, which will help to make the room cozy. At the same time, designers are advised to choose lamps that emit a white rather than yellow glow.

The choice of textiles will be limited only by the imagination of the one who will live in the bedroom. Before deciding on the final version, it is recommended to take into account the texture and shades of textiles and curtains.

When choosing materials, it is important to look at the fact that textiles do not end up merging with decor items. Olive color in any shades will be appropriate. You can also give preference to fabrics decorated with stripes, patterns, ornaments.

Olive color in textiles will look good in any interior design, regardless of the chosen style (classic, minimalism, modern). The main thing is to correctly place accents, complementing the interior with decor items or accessories.

If the design of the bedroom turned out to be calm and you want to revive it a little, then, in addition to colored curtains, you can add bright pillows and bedspreads. Blue and yellow shades are often used together with olive. Light green is also suitable if the main color of the finish is dark.
