12 Beautiful Colors That Go Well With Sage Green Walls

The sage green trend took over the world some years back and held strong. It's great at mellowing out a room, which is why it's used for major elements like furniture pieces and large surfaces like walls. After you've found the perfect sage green paint color, though, you need to choose the right colors to use in the rest of the room. Classic metal shades like gold and silver, and specific tones like navy blue and hunter green, are a few of the beautiful colors out there to consider.

One thing to keep in mind when decorating your home with soft sage green is that it helps to layer it with different shades of green. Whether you want to maintain its coolness or make it more warm, there are many other greens out there that will bring your specific vision to life. This is good to remember as you try to match sage green with other colors because layering can help bring everything together. When pairing sage with gray, for example, visual interest can be created when you use a mix of greens that make the space come alive.

There are many calming sage green paint colors, and it's good to add other elements that can match the shade you choose while maintaining this relaxing effect. Wood brown natural materials are a good example. The presence of these tones can create the feeling of warmth and be a great complement to sage, which is typically cool-toned. You can easily do this with wooden side tables, chairs, and cabinets. A tip is to choose one finish and maintain it throughout to really enhance its effect.

Sage green and dusty pink have become a common combination because they create a great contrast. One design idea that can be fun is to think a bit less about balancing them evenly and choose one color to lean more into. For a neutral space, you can limit the dusty pink to pops of color through throw pillows and wall art on the sage green wall. For a more chic space, you can use the dusty pink for large elements in the sage space like curtains and duvets and then add in other shades of pink and white to create dimension.

Cream with sage green creates a really beautiful harmony. Still, you can have a very different vibe based on the shade of sage you pick. A light shade will blend in very well with the cream and make the space feel airy, which can be great for a space like the kitchen or the laundry room where you want to feel at ease. A dark sage green will lean towards more moody and can be a great color to pair with cream if you want that vibe in your living room or a secondary space like an entertainment room or home library.

Orange is an easy color to use to brighten up a space where a muted green like sage dominates, and pink-orange coral is one to consider. With this warm color, one way to use it well would be to add a vibrant piece of furniture or decoration. This is versatile enough so it can be done in any room — you can do it with things like pillow covers, short curtains, throw blankets, or small area rugs. These small touches will instantly add some life and vibrance to the space without taking anything away from the sage green walls.

This is a combination that can create something unique in a room. The earthiness of sage green coupled with the elegance of navy blue can provide a nice balance of down-to-earth and elevated. Just note that this can make the atmosphere feel rather cool, so it might not be the best in spaces where you want to cultivate feelings of warmth. We recommend this combination in a study room or reading nook to keep you sharp. Try navy blue with a couch, the bed linens, or an upholstered ottoman bench.

White goes well with everything, so it can help when decorating a room with sage green walls. White can add light and airiness to the space when used abundantly, like all-white bedding. It can also give the eye something to focus on when placed directly against the wall, like in the case of a white bed frame or white picture frames. Because these are two calm neutrals, something you can do to make the design more interesting is to add in patterns. A white and green patterned rug or bedspread can do the trick.

Another beautiful color to combine in a room with sage green walls is pale gray because both are cool neutrals so they naturally flow together. One tip for this combination is to layer the colors. Instead of sticking to just pale gray and one kind of sage green, don't be afraid to mix in multiple shades of both, which will make the space more interesting. You can do this by using different colored linens for the bed or various pillows for the living room couch. White can also be thrown into the mix if you need visual breaks.

Go for gold when choosing elements in a room with sage green walls because it can elevate the space and make it feel more luxurious, serving as a good complement to the muted sage. In the kitchen, gold can be used for the cabinet pulls and fixtures like the sink faucet. For the living room or bedroom, it can be used for a side table, mirror frame, or light fixtures. One tip is to really maximize the gold because a few touches can get lost when there are many other colors and materials present.

One of the most loved aspects of sage green is that it reminds us of the outdoors. Hunter green can help intensify this effect. The beautiful combination of greens will create a connection to nature that can reflect your own love for the outdoors or simply make you feel a bit more calm when you look around. This can be fitting for a bedroom, living room, or home office to make it a serene space. Sofas, armchairs, and even large leaf plants are great ways to incorporate hunter green into a room with sage green walls.

A deep, dark brown creates a strong contrast when next to deeper sage green, and this unique combination can be great for your home's exterior or interior. If you've committed to a sage green house, consider dark brown for other parts of the exterior like the roof, siding, shutters, or even the garage doors. Inside the home, dark brown features and sage green walls will make your house feel charming and give it character. Wherever it's used, this pairing creates a nature-inspired, moody effect.

Another beautiful color, silver can go well with sage green walls. Some accents and features you can choose in this metal are mirror frames, cabinet pulls, light fixtures, sinks, and faucets. Then, you can throw in elements of one or two other colors that you like to add more interest. For instance, dusty pink with silver accents in a sage living room can make it feel chic and contemporary, while greens and plants with silver accents in the kitchen can make it look more lively and warm.

Yellow is always an easy color to add some brightness and vibrance, so consider bringing it into the space with sage green walls. You can do this with a yellow couch, throw pillows, or yellow cabinets in the kitchen. You can even choose a yellow front door if you have sage walls on the exterior. For a lighter presence, you can choose multi-colored pieces, like a rug, duvet, or art piece, where yellow is mixed in with other colors. One tip for this combination is to try choosing a sage green shade with yellow undertones to make it more cohesive.
