Sage green living room: 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 living room

In the living room, sage works almost like a neutral — a sofa or wall in sage feels calm but never dull.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the room's largest colour surfaces and a clear seating group. 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 living room — 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 living room and type "repaint the living room in sage green". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
