In a highly ambitious design project, Kate Hudson has transformed her office into one of the most fabulous home bars we've ever seen. In a recent Instagram reel, the actress had her makeup done in the room, giving us a glimpse into the all-around entertainment room. The sage, olive-green space has built-in shelves with beautiful glassware, and an entire wall covered in floral William Morris wallpaper.
One of the best parts of Kate Hudson's home bar is the stunning olive green color scheme. The green room color scheme is a favorite among interior designers for its numerous benefits.
'Olive green is slightly muted and provides a calming atmosphere wherever it is used. It lends itself to just about any design style, which makes it very versatile,' says Megan Dufresne, Sourthern-California-based interior designer and founder of MC Design. She continues, 'I like to use it on kitchen cabinets, and doors, as an accent in a living room, and I've even made it the theme color for an entire room. Done right, there is no limit to how you can use this color.'

Courtney Wollersheim, interior designer at FLOOR360 adds, 'Olive green is deeply inviting, evokes nature, and pairs well with wood, marble, and other neutral colors. It's an earthy shade that makes a statement while providing warmth and comfort. Olive is versatile in you can mute and blend it or bring it forward to be the featured player in your space.'

It's no surprise then that the home bar is one of Kate Hudson's favorite spaces in her home, as reported by Drew & Jonathan, the Property Brothers' blog. She told them, 'I find my favorite rooms are always the ones where I’m not afraid to commit to color. Since this isn’t the house I’m going to live in forever, I wanted to be a little bolder.'
Kate Hudson's boldness in design is paying off because this color scheme is poised to be a huge interior design trend in 2024. Megan says, 'This trend is an offshoot of the deep jewel tone greens we saw in years past. We see olive green everywhere; kitchens, living rooms, even in exteriors.'
