Sage green dining area: how to decorate

Sage green — the muted, greyed green — is one of the most loved colours right now. It's as calm as a neutral but as alive as a colour, and it ages beautifully.

How sage green works in the dining area

In the dining area, a sage feature wall gives a soft, nature-near backdrop for wood and ceramics.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the wall behind the table as a backdrop and a gathered feel. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.

Colours that pair well with sage green

Sage loves off-white, beige, light wood and brass; terracotta or dusty pink give a warm contrast.

Materials and details

Linen, wool and light wood lift sage; matte surfaces and brass make it elegant.

The most common mistake

Pairing sage with too-cool greys — choose warm neutrals so the muted green comes forward.

Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the dining area and type "repaint the dining area in sage green".
