What colors go with sage green? Pairing and accenting tips from design experts
There’s an infinite number of greens in the spectrum – but which colors go with sage green?
Decorating with sage green allows you to create the most restful of green room ideas. This more muted, gentle tone is perfect for every space, from elegant dining rooms to casual kitchens and modernist sitting rooms. ‘Sage green has increased in popularity over recent years, not only due to its versatility but also as a reminder of our environment. It helps us feel inspired and brings life to any room,’ explains Helen Shaw, Marketing Director at Benjamin Moore.
Benjamin Moore was just one of the paint brands that chose sage green as its color of the year in 2022 – Sherwin-Williams and PPG also opted for the shade – and it’s set to be just as relevant in 2023. ‘Sage green is more popular than ever! As we seek to bring nature and calming into our lives, it is the perfect choice,’ agrees Noell Jett, of Jett Set Farmhouse.
What colors go with sage green?
What makes sage stand out from other shades, particularly when you’re decorating with green walls, is its gentle gray-green tone. Not only does this have a softness that relates to the natural world, but it also works incredibly well alongside other colors, making it a surprising all-rounder.
We asked interior designers and color professionals for their take on sage green, from the colors to pair it with to how to introduce sage green shades in pattern, via wallpaper and furnishings.
‘What’s so interesting is that there isn’t a consensus on where sage green should be used – it really does seem to suit every room and aspect,’ says Lucy Searle, Global Editor in Chief of Homes & Gardens. ‘That gives you the freedom to use sage green your own way, making this on-trend color truly timeless.’
Create a layered sage green scheme with plains and pattern
The easiest option? Sage green goes well with sage green. The painted sage green wall forms the backdrop of this scheme – the color is Card Room Green by Farrow & Ball – but it’s the many different inclusions of the shade that make this green living room so interesting. As well as the paint color, the curtain, rug, stool, seat and throw cushions all contain elements of sage green in their design.
‘One way to introduce a pattern with sage green is to use it as the main color in a patterned throw pillow or piece of artwork,’ suggests Noell Jett of Jett Set Farmhouse. ‘This will create a focal point in the room and help to draw the eye to the sage green color.
‘You could also use the color in a patterned area rug or curtains to add some texture and interest to the space. Another option is to incorporate the color into a larger pattern, such as a floral or geometric design, to create a cohesive and visually appealing look.’
