In interior decoration, it is true that light tones are the easiest to live with. But adopting strong colors means bringing personality into your home. Green, and especially khaki, is a shade that is easy to tame and brings a lot of authenticity.
Discover our tips & inspirations that will make you want to adopt it.
The color khaki green
Very trendy in recent years, khaki green has managed to carve out a nice place in interior decoration.
This color, difficult to define, lies between green, brown, and warm gray. A bit mysterious, it aims to be deep and intense, perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere.
The khaki color is easy to adopt, regardless of the decor style of your interior: whether it is elegant, bohemian, or industrial. In any case, it will bring character and a lot of presence to the room.
What colors to pair with khaki green in decor?
Khaki is a color highly appreciated for its strength but also for its softness. It is perfect for highlighting pure white or intense black. It also knows how to pair with gray tones, yellow, navy blue, and red. For a powdery atmosphere, it can be associated with pale pink or violet.
When it comes to materials, the choice is abundant. Khaki green can be paired with light or dark wood. It will enhance the natural aspect of natural materials like rattan or wicker. Beautiful atmospheres can also be created with wool and leather.
Finally, khaki will shine even more with details in golden brass.
Where to find khaki paint?
To choose a quality paint with a truly convincing finish, we recommend turning to a specialized colorist.
When it comes to shades, you will have plenty of options. You can already do your research online, but do remember to order samples to test your khaki green paint directly in your interior.
For this, we recommend making a sample in a large format like A3, and fixing it on the wall you wish to repaint. This way, you can see how the color evolves throughout the day!
Finally, the current trend encourages us to opt for a matte finish for a very velvety look. But of course, it is primarily a matter of taste!
Khaki green decoration: the most beautiful inspirations room by room
One of the major advantages of khaki green is its timeless character. Unlike some fleeting color trends, khaki green remains an elegant choice that does not go out of style over time. It easily adapts to different decor styles, but also to all rooms in the house.
A living room in khaki green
Khaki green, with its subtle shades of green and brown, embodies the harmony between nature and tranquility, creating a warm and soothing atmosphere, perfect for a room like the living room. This color can be adopted on a piece of furniture, such as a small armchair, a rug, or even a sofa.
But also on small decorative objects like vases, paintings, or curtains. The bolder can also choose it to create an accent wall in the living room.
