Martini Olive Green Is Coming for Your Home

Kermit the Frog famously lamented that it's not easy being green, but when it comes to home decor, it's not only easy to incorporate the verdant hue into your space—it's also trendy to do so. Over the years, it seems like every shade on this color spectrum has had its moment in the interiors spotlight. Soothing sage? Can't-miss chartreuse? An auspicious aloe? Been there, decorated with that. For this year, martini olive green is poised to take over your home.
More muted than your typical forest green—and tinged with subtle yellow undertones—this It color was all over fashion runways and coated on cool-girl manicures on social media, so it's only fitting that it would make its way into our homes. Industry insiders add that the martini olive green hue also has ties to previous design trends. "[It] falls perfectly in line with the rising popularity of incorporating natural materials and sustainable design," Houston designer Kara Childress tells House Beautiful. "Similar to the warmth of textured woods and aged antiques, martini olive green has a 'dirty' tone and earthy feel." Meanwhile, designer Denise Morrison claims it's a perfect follow-up to the quiet luxury phenomenon because the color "evokes a sense of calmness and luxury, making it perfect for adding depth and character to any room."
The pros are on board with the color trend, but you may be wondering how to actually incorporate olive green tones into your home. Luckily, you have plenty of options here. While Childress says martini olive green can accent a neutral palette—think a decorative throw pillow on a bed—you can also give the trend a main character energy by using this shade as an accent wall; or opting for a large piece of furniture in this tone (think a sofa or dresser!). "Whether used sparingly or as a focal point, this shade of green adds a touch of sophistication and refinement to any interior space," Morrison adds. To help you, we're serving up the best martini olive green pieces worth adding to your cart ahead. Let's drink to that!
