The Allure of Sage Green Paint

Sage green has taken the top spot on more than a few Colour of the Year lists recently. With its botanical character and muted quality, it's not hard to see why this colour has become such a modern classic. 

If you're growing tired of the same old neutral colours, sage green is an easy choice. Even the lightest sage has bags of character, with a natural hue inspired by the medicinal herb it's named after. 

Looking to redecorate a bedroom? A mid-tone sage is a simple way to create a more serene space. What's more, it's a far richer and more visually appealing alternative to off-whites, neutral greys or blush-inspired hues. 

Sage might be a more muted colour palette, but it's far from boring. In fact, it's a popular choice for more contemporary interiors, serving as an excellent alternative to blue-based green colours like eggshell. 

The Allure of Sage Green Paint

Swapping out muted neutrals for a light sage green is a greater design choice. A pale sage green paint can offer the same reflective qualities as off-whites or magnolias while bringing much-needed depth to your interiors. 

If you're looking for a sage green light shade that won't disappoint, consider something like Serpentine V447. Although a lighter take on this botanical colour family, there's a strong hint of blue and grey in the mix here. Perfect for living spaces, this rich sage will add warmth and intensity to grown-up living spaces. 

Sea Smoke X447 is an even lighter choice. It's fresh and uplifting, with a pale blue backbone that gives you plenty of leeway when it comes to introducing complementary colours to your decor. When in doubt, stick to pure white and natural woods to bring out the innate beauty of this spectacular sage. 

Tvt H377 is something else to think about if your spaces are crying out for a sage-infused makeover. This pale khaki has more blue undertones than some of our other sage paint colours, but it will still pair beautifully with the other greens and earthy tones.

If you're planning on decorating a living room, master bedroom or dining area, a dark sage green is a good choice. Armed with a richer hue, creating an intimate and sophisticated interior is easy. 

A dark sage green paint like Waterlilly will work well in modern or contemporary spaces. This mossy green can be used liberally and works particularly well when paired with pure white. 

If you'd prefer something with more green character, go with Boating Party Grape. This sumptuous sage has more than a hint of forest green, but it's still a relatively mellow hue. As such, it's a go-to choice for muted decor schemes. 

Nephrite N494 is another standout selection from our range of dark sages. This one boasts more blue and grey, making it a good pick for more masculine spaces. Pair it with charcoal or rich teals for a dramatic tonal effect. 

Where Do Sage Green Paints Work?

Sage green is a favourite with interior designers thanks to its versatility. It's a staple of traditional interiors, but the right hue can work beautifully in a more modern home. What's more, sage can be used to great effect in any room. 

Living Room

There's nothing more relaxing than a rustic sage-green living room. If you're considering a complete makeover of your living space, use a sage shade in place of your usual neutral. 

Once you've selected a signature hue, you can add additional layers of colour to create a coordinated interior. 

As with a rustic sage green bedroom, a sage-infused living space will help you relax. Even the most saturated sages bring a sense of serenity to your interiors, while more muted tones can help brighten up dim spaces. 

If you're unsure about going all in, think about introducing colour slowly. Sage green panelling is a particularly stunning design feature that will instantly elevate any living space. 

Bedroom

Sage green paint and bedrooms were made for each other. Used correctly, a sage palette will turn even the busiest bedroom into a stylish sleep sanctuary. 

Go for lighter colours if you're looking to create a modern sage green bedroom. Coordinate with hardwood flooring and simple drapery for a timeless aesthetic with plenty of contemporary character. 

Nursery

Welcoming a new addition to your family? A sage green nursery is a great idea. 

Subtle sage shades are perfect for creating a serene space for little ones to relax in. What's more, a sage nursery can be redesigned as they grow. 

Kitchen

A palette peppered with sage shades is a great design choice for kitchen makeovers. For a modern sage green kitchen, pick a deeper hue to repaint existing cabinets and shelving. For added depth, choose sage green tiles a shade darker than the paint you've used to recoat your units. 

A sage green dining room is another timeless design choice. Richer hues work best in smaller spaces, creating an intimate space for dining and entertaining. If you've opted for a lighter green for your walls, go with dark green dining chairs to add character to a coordinated space. 

Hallway

A sage green hallway will put you at ease the second you step through the door. When decorating a hallway, it's always best to go with a lighter colour. These spaces tend to receive little natural light, so a muted neutral will ensure your walls are as reflective as possible. 

Outdoors

Sage green has serious kerb appeal. If you're tired of staring at crumbling brickwork or cream-coloured cladding, sage-infused exterior paints are the answer to your prayers. 

Get your exterior makeover off to a great start with sage green fence paint. Once you've taken care of that, accent your home with a sage green door or sage green windows. 

What Colours Go with Sage Green?

Wondering what colours go with sage green? As with any neutral, you can pair this colour family with other hues inspired by the natural world. 

Some of the best colours that compliment sage green walls include taupe, beige and cream. A grey and sage green living room is definitely something to consider if you're after a timeless interior. 

Decorating a kitchen or dining space? Farmhouse sage green kitchen cabinets will work well alongside a neutral wall colour. Avoid high-maintenance white and go for a grey-infused pigment whenever possible. 

You can also embrace more daring shades when decorating with sage green. Contrasting shades like purple will enrich sage hues, especially if you're using them for something like a feature wall. If you're searching for warm colours that compliment sage green, consider experimenting with earthy tones like chocolate brown, mocha and mustard yellow.
