Sage green kitchen: 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 kitchen

In the kitchen, sage cabinets give a muted, timeless look that beats white for character without shouting.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: that cabinets and worktops are fixed, so colour comes via walls, details and textiles. 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.

See sage green in the kitchen — before you paint

The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the kitchen and type "repaint the kitchen in sage green". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
