Colour Focus: Sage Green

What colours go with sage green?

Sage is very easy to use in both classic and contemporary decor, as both a sophisticated heritage shade and a cool, calming pastel.

Can you pair sage green with dusky pink?

Sage green and dusky pink is a match made in heaven. Since both colours have similar saturation levels, they match nicely, working hard to bring the best out of one another. The greyish nature found in both colours prevents these colours from clashing, instead providing an exciting yet subtle canvas from which to expand your decor.

For a softer, feminine feel, pairing sage with pale lilacs or dusky pinks works beautifully, especially in bedrooms.

Sage green and mineral blue

Similarly to dusty pink, mineral blue is also on the grey side of the colour spectrum making it a great partner for sage green. As green and blue are quite closely related, mixing sage and mineral blue as part of a pattern may cause each to lose some vibrancy; however, having larger items in a block colour sat next to each other will make a space feel very comfortable and chic.

Sage green and earthy tones

In many ways, contrast is key for multiple interior design trends to really excel. That said, colours can sometimes contrast in a way that’s not very graceful and potentially clash.

Sage and earthy tones however will not clash, they contrast against each other beautifully retaining a sense of nature and the wider outside world which helps us to relax and unwind. Consider brown and terracotta shades as counters to the sage green in your home.

Sage green and emerald green

This partnership offers an often underappreciated treasure. It’s striking, energising and while eye-catching, it’s not gaudy or overbearing.

Unlike warmer tones, different shades of green easily complement one another, helping to add a dignified feeling of depth to the decor. Contemplate adding an emerald green curtain or green roman blind to your sage green walls for a truly stylish space. 

Other green shades, like jade, fennel, and mint, will also harmonize beautifully with sage. 

Where can you enjoy sage green at home?

The inherent calming nature of sage green makes it a strong contender for many spaces within the home. In most rooms, we like to unwind – or focus – and fortunately, sage green can help us to achieve both.

Why choose sage green for kitchens?

Sage green kitchens are a very popular and exciting choice in many style-conscious homes. Reflecting many of the herbs and spices that enrich our lives every day, sage green in the kitchen will help you to relax and focus your mind onto the task of making lovely meals and enjoying the company of family and friends! Consider sage green roller blinds – in a stylish and functional moisture proof fabric – alongside matching quality green lamp shades to enrich the decor.

How to style sage green in bedrooms?

Creating a comfortable environment is very important for enjoying a perfect night’s sleep, and green is an excellent colour for this purpose. Team with dusky pinks or pale lilacs for a soothing, feminine feeling, or add pops of teal or turquoise for a bolder statement.

What makes sage green ideal for living rooms?

Similarly, sage green can make a subtle style statement in living rooms. Places where we relax benefit greatly from colours that encourage that relaxation. Moreover, living rooms often feature some of the larger windows in the home, making them excellent places for curtains! Sage green curtains will add depth and movement to your decor, and when partnered with a blind in the recess, you can help to create a truly fashionable three-dimensional sage green space. Sage green blinds are also a great alternative, offering a clean, tailored look while still maintaining the soft, natural feel of the colour scheme. 

Sage also pairs beautifully with natural wood grains, from pale oak to rich walnut, and metals such as gold, brass, pewter, and chrome. Monochrome schemes with black and white accents also work well with sage.
