A muted green walnut shade that is usually found on store shelves
, has a practically therapeutic effect on the body.
It is not too bright, so it does not excite the nervous system, but at the same time it is not oppressively dark, as they say, just right. At the same time, pistachio color is perfectly complemented by other shades of the natural palette.
In general, it’s good no matter what.
What do delicate green colors usually go with?
Combination of pistachio and blue
This is an unusual combination that evokes thoughts of summer, vacation and the Crimean coast.
Two rather bright colors interact interestingly with each other: the coolness of blue refreshes the warmth of pistachio. However, they can “argue” a little, so it is better to “add” another, more neutral shade to this pair. For example, light colors such as milky, grayish, beige are ideal for this role.
Interesting examples
Furniture and textiles
In light green, upholstered furniture looks restrained and respectable. This feeling is enhanced many times over if it is placed in rooms with large footage.
Pistachio furniture in the kitchen and living room in the Baroque and Empire style looks amazingly beautiful and presentable. Curved wooden legs under upholstered seats and backrests, upholstered in a deep golden olive hue, are just perfect to complement these types of interiors.
Pompous elements of classic textile window decoration in the form of lambrequins and cascades look great in any interior shade of pale green.
Contrasting colors are traditionally used in edging. A successful edging is made from white, dark chocolate, cappuccino, or beige material.
And if the decoration and furniture create the desired atmosphere and mood, then details such as decor add individuality and emphasize the style. In stores specializing in interior decor, it is easy to find interesting items in shades of green with a golden tint.
These can be unusual panels, wall clocks, mirrors with rich frames, carved boxes, twisted baskets, boxes, flowerpots, stands for flower pots, carved consoles.
Things are a little more complicated with book stands and mannequins in the desired shade of green. Most often you have to tint them yourself. The latest trend in fashionable interior design is huge Cameroonian feather hats and so-called sun mirrors. But if you are not ready for such an extravagant decision, then it is better to spend money on dishes made of natural onyx or jade.
A screen with stained glass windows in golden green color will fit especially chic into any living space.
Classic in the interior
The use of pistachio is duplicated in other items - textiles, decorative elements, furniture. Green with a touch of gold is allowed to decorate an accent wall to visually expand the boundaries of the room.
Bright colors
Pistachio color serves as a winning background for sunny orange, berry red and deep pink.
At the same time, to create such an interior there is an unshakable rule: no more than three catchy colors for one room. Otherwise, your gaze will quickly get tired.
You need to carefully select accents in shades, taking into account their “consonance” with each other.
Light contrast
The color “pistachio” in the company of gray, chocolate, light blue and other neutral tones will be contrasting, but not intrusive. It is acceptable to use several shades: for example, light green and green with a brown tint - they are not similar, but compatible.
If you want to enhance the contrast, you should play with textures, attract attention with convex textures and intricate shapes.
It is extremely rare for rooms to be decorated exclusively in pistachio tones.
The merging of surfaces does not allow for contrasts. Such an interior looks boring and tense without decorative details of companion flowers.
Combination of pistachio and yellow
The pistachio shade itself comes from a combination of green and yellow.
, therefore, such an alliance is more than logical and harmonious. In the interior with green and yellow shades, comfort, coziness and warmth reign even in the coldest winter.
However, it is important to understand that if the room’s windows face south, too warm or even hot a combination will make it stuffy.
This psychological effect can prevent you from enjoying a beautiful interior and make you think about buying a fan.
Interior decor
If finishing materials and furniture create the mood, then decorative items make the room truly stylish.
In domestic interior decor stores, the easiest way to find these items is in golden-green color:
- creative clocks, mirrors;
- different-sized panels for photographs;
- caskets, baskets, boxes;
- vases, bottles;
- flower stands, flowerpots;
- figurines, candlesticks;
- aroma lamps;
- pillows, bolsters;
- pedestals, racks, consoles;
- fireplace portals, boxes.
Things will be worse with the search for bookends and mannequins. You will have to take these untinted and paint them yourself.
Today, the most fashionable pistachio-colored interior decor is considered to be huge Cameroonian hats made of dyed feathers and the so-called solar mirrors. If you have the opportunity to spend a lot of money, the best interior decoration in green tones can be dishes made of onyx or jade. A handmade golden-green stained glass screen will bring special beauty to any living space.
Combination of pistachio and rose
A delicate pink bud and a bashfully hidden pistachio nut are a curious pairing.
This could be the love of a lifetime, or, on the contrary, it could be a designer’s worst nightmare.
Therefore, it is very important to choose the right tones so that life in such a dollhouse does not turn into hell. Sconce Sonas, white

Rules for using pistachio in design
In order to ultimately obtain satisfactory results, experts advise adhering to certain proportions when decorating a room:
- Approximately 60% of the area is counted on the base color.
- 30% is given to the additional tone.
- Accordingly, 10% remains for the accent (usually brighter) shade.
Against the background of pistachio walls or floors, almost any furniture looks ideal, all its advantages are emphasized. And the brightest or darkest shades are often used only as an additional color in the form of curtains, bedspreads, for example, or carpeting on the floor.

Which pattern to choose is a matter of style: there is a certain rule - the more modern the interior, the more laconic and stylized the ornament. The traditional monogram will remain for the classics.
