These Are the Best Brands of Paint for Kitchen Cabinets to Update Your Style

40+ Sage Green Kitchen Cabinets (with Paint Colors!)

If you’re looking for examples of the most popular sage green paint colors on kitchen cabinets, this post is for you! I’ve scoured the internet and rounded up more than 40 real-life examples from the top three cabinet paint brands: Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams and Farrow and Ball.

Today the color is more popular than ever, with several paint brands choosing a muted green as their 2022 Color of the Year (including BM October Mist and SW Evergreen Fog). 

While the color is red hot right now, sage green is a neutral and earthy tone found in nature, so you don’t have to worry about it becoming outdated. I’ve always had a love for green—specifically the soft and subdued variety, so I’m 100% on board with the recent rise in popularity.

The Best Sage Green Paint for Kitchen Cabinets

Keep in mind: these examples are a great starting point, but you should always test different samples in your own kitchen before deciding. Colors will vary drastically in different spaces, different angles and different lighting. I love and recommend using peel and stick samples from Samplize (I used them to choose our recent kitchen cabinet color!)

Benjamin Moore Sage Green Kitchen Cabinets

In this post, you’ll find a wide range of gray-greens—from dark to light, and warm to cool. Let’s kick off the inspiration with a long time designer favorite, Benjamin Moore. Here are some of their most popular sage greens for kitchen cabinets:

Pin

Benjamin Moore October Mist Cabinets

Named Benjamin Moore’s 2022 color of the year, October Mist is a light, silvery-green. I love it so much, I chose it for our Modern Mediterranean kitchen!

In daylight at certain angles, it can read almost gray or blue, while it appears warmer under incandescent light. This is a great option if you’re looking for a lighter desaturated green that isn’t too warm.

Benjamin Moore Oil Cloth Cabinets

Another light green-gray, with warmer/yellow tones compared to October Mist. You may have seen it already in one of the most popular green kitchens on the internet:

Pinvia Heidi Callier DesignPinvia Heidi Callier Design

This is one color I’m eyeing for our upcoming laundry room cabinets!

Pinvia Luxe Interiors & Design

Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage Cabinets

This one is a popular choice for cabinets, and one I tested out for our kitchen remodel.

Pinvia Sweeten

It’s a true green, and isn’t as likely be mistaken for gray or blue like some of the other sages.

Pinvia Pinterest

You can also see how it looks slightly different in these photos—more proof that you should always test samples in person!

Benjamin Moore Carolina Gull Cabinets

Here’s a beautiful mid-level shade, similar to Oil Cloth but slightly darker and more saturated.

Pinvia Oak Story DesignPinPin

This color tends to look more jade in other photos online, such as in this kitchen:

Pinvia House of Jade Interiors

Benjamin Moore Forest Floor Cabinets

Forest Floor is one of the darkest examples on this list—veering into olive or forest green territory. It’s still very muted, and would be a great choice if you want a moodier sage green.

Pinvia Jillian Harris

In this kitchen, you’ll notice it looks even darker, and can almost pass as a charcoal gray:

Pinvia Francesca Albertazzi

Benjamin Moore Flora Cabinets

Flora is a cheerful, light and more saturated sage green. It leans into mint green territory just a touch, but it’s still neutral enough to classify as a sage.

Pinvia Bella Tucker

Benjamin Moore Dark Olive Cabinets

This darker shade is an intersection of olive, forest and sage green. It’s similar to Pewter Green, but with more yellow (olive) tones.

Pinvia Kate Marker Interiors

Sherwin Williams Sage Green Kitchen Cabinets

Sherwin Williams is right up there with Benjamin Moore for most popular cabinet paint colors. I’ve personally had great results with their Urethane Enamel line on cabinets. Here are examples of the most popular Sherwin Williams sage green paint colors for cabinets.

Sherwin Williams Evergreen Fog Cabinets

Evergreen Fog was named Sherwin Williams 2022 Color of the Year, and not surprising, one of the most popular SW colors for kitchens right now.

This is another beautiful gray-green—a little darker and more gray than BM’s October Mist.

Pinvia Kindred Interiors

It’s also one I’ll be testing out for our laundry room cabinets.

Pinvia Schue Love

Sherwin Williams Pewter Green Cabinets

This color has been one of the most popular greens for kitchens for years—you might find more examples of it than any other sage green online:

Pinvia Bogart Interiors

It’s also one of the darkest examples in this post, and I will add that it looks even darker in a lot of other example I’ve seen (well-lit magazine photos tend to photograph lighter).

Pinvia Pottery BarnPinvia Ashley Martin Home

Sherwin Williams Retreat Cabinets

Retreat is essentially just a lighter version of Pewter Green.

Pinvia Urban Grace InteriorsPinvia Block Brothers Custom Cabinets

This shade also tends to lean towards gray/blue, although in the kitchen below, it looks much more green:

PinVia Well Done

Sherwin Williams Clary Sage Cabinets

Clary Sage has pronounced yellow/olive undertones, and is a great choice if you’re looking for a light warm sage.

Pinvia This Old House

Below you can see how it looks with shadows and artificial lighting:

Pinvia Pinterest

Sherwin Williams Sensible Hue Cabinets

Here’s another desaturated green that could pass for gray in the right lighting:

Pinvia Prairie School Studio

Sherwin Williams Acacia Haze Cabinets

Acacia Haze is a mid-level sage green with cooler tones. Looking at the swatches, it appears to be a lighter version of Retreat.

Pinvia The Creativity Exchange

It does, however, look more olive in the image below:

Pinvia Nish

Sherwin Williams Rosemary Cabinets

Rosemary is a darker green with olive undertones. It could even pass for a light forest green.

Pinvia Trim Design Co

It is more saturated than some of the other sages, and should look like a true green in all lighting conditions.

Pinvia Our Tribe of 5ive

Sherwin Williams Cornwall Slate Cabinets

Sherwin Williams classifies Cornwall Slate as green, but it could pass as gray in the right lighting.

Pinvia KBG Design

I love it in this kitchen paired with brass, white and wood tones. A great choice if you want an earthy neutral with a touch of green.

Pinvia KBG Design

Sherwin Williams At East Solider Cabinets

This shade reads as a light olive-gray, and ranges quite drastically between the example photos online. Below it appears very muted:

Pinvia Goldalamode

Below, it range from a more saturated celery green to a warm olive (lighting and editing have a lot to do with this!)

Pinvia Space Design OKCPinvia Space Design OKC

Farrow & Ball Sage Green Kitchen Cabinets

Right behind Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams, Farrow & Ball is a popular paint brand for cabinetry, used often by designers. Their color selection is much more limited, with an emphasis on rich and sophisticated tones.

Pin

Farrow and Ball Pigeon Cabinets

One of their most popular colors of all time, Pigeon is a true chameleon. It ranges from green, to blue, to gray and even brown, depending on the lighting and angle. You’ve most likely encountered it at least a few times on Pinterest or Instagram…

Pinvia dRAW ArchitecturePinvia Caitlin FlemmingPinvia In Honor of Design

If you love the idea of a tried-and-true color that takes on different moods during different times of the day, give this one a try!

Farrow and Ball French Gray cabinets

Yet another popular chameleon color from Farrow & Ball. Though French Gray falls more into the “green” category, with less blue tons than Pigeon.

Pinvia Christopher Scott Cabinetry

Farrow and Ball Lichen Cabinets

Lichen is a true sage green, though you’ll find that it also looks quite different in various examples online.

Pinvia Damsel in DiorPinvia Christopher Peters

From F&B’s website: “This calm and muted green is named after the ever changing, subtle colour of creeping algae which ages stone so beautifully. ”

Pinvia KB Kitchens

Farrow and Ball Castle Gray Cabinets

Castle Gray is has a fair amount of blue—I would call it more of a jade green. Farrow and Ball describe it as a “versatile grey-green”.

Pinvia Jenn Feldman DesignsPinvia Jenn Feldman Designs

Farrow and Ball Treron Cabinets

Treron is labeled as a dark green version of Pigeon, and it’s a gorgeous neutral yet moody sage.

Pinvia Ham InteriorsPinPinvia Semihandmade

Farrow and Ball Ball Green Cabinets

Ball Green is referred to as an “established silvery green”, and I see quite a bit of yellow tones in the examples online. It is one of the warmest options on this list, and a really lovely earth tone.

Pinvia The Marcum FarmPinvia The Marcum Farm

Farrow and Ball Card Room Green & Verte de Terre cabinets

Here are two of Farrow & Ball’s popular greens used together in a two-tone application. Card Room Green is the darker shade on the bottom (similar to Castle Gray, a bit less blue) and Verte de Terre is the lighter green above.

Looking for the perfect color for your kitchen and don't know how to choose a kitchen color? Check out our colorways for inspiration.

Bringing color into your kitchen design can transform and completely change the mood of your kitchen space.

Splashes of red can add drama, a touch of yellow can uplift the mood, and green can symbolize freshness and harmony.

Ben Burbidge, Managing Director of Kitchen Makers, explains: “Color affects people in different ways, so choosing the perfect scheme for your home is a purely personal decision and, strictly speaking, there is no right or wrong. However, in our experience, certain hues and color combinations tend to work especially well together to give your kitchen a modern and stylish look.”

How to choose the color of the kitchen?

Durability is a priority for a new kitchen, so you need to make sure your kitchen color choices are styles you'll love to live with for years to come. A classic color tends to stand the test of time, so deep blues, greens, and grays are always a good choice if you're worried about dating your kitchen. Wooden cabinets can always be repainted if you want to freshen up your interior in the future.

When choosing a color, the first thing to consider is the overall scheme. An uncluttered palette creates a sophisticated look, so choose a color for your closet and complement it with one or two accents. One of the great things about incorporating color into a kitchen is that you can go crazy or add just a hint of hue.

If you have a neutral kitchen and aren't quite sure which colors to include, look around your home or even your closet for inspiration. More often than not, you'll be surrounded by colors that you're comfortable with, so it's a good idea to use these shades in your kitchen.

“Deciding which colors to use in a kitchen is never easy, with endless options not only for wall colors but also for cabinet combinations,” explains Lara Hughes, kitchen designer at Neptune. “Lighter paint colors are the perfect tool for balancing kitchen tones and creating contrast. ”

One of the most popular ways is to get a colorful kitchen island. Using a single color creates a sense of serenity and can feel just as calm as soothing neutrals, as well as making the room appear larger.

Just how bold you want to go and how many colors you want to bring, but our kitchen color ideas are such that you will feel inspired… a timeless shade and color that we associate with the natural world, breathing new life into any room in the home when used to its fullest. Dulux experts explain: “A green kitchen may seem intimidating, but the versatile shade is perfect for the busiest room in the house. and dark green kitchens lend a dramatic feel to the open plan space.”

More about the color: Green in the interior and its combination with other colors

Sage Green

Pale sage green acts as a neutral in this kitchen.

The Dulux experts explain, "A sage green kitchen can add color but retain neutral design schemes, while jewel-like green kitchen walls add a touch of glamour, paired with vintage brass handles. "

Combined with smooth charcoal on the floor and in the dining area, it adds a touch of chic. If you prefer to add bright colors, adding a terracotta shade will create a Moroccan holiday atmosphere.

Mint Green

Invigorating, upbeat and fresh, Mint Green adds zest to a kitchen space. Paired with wood surfaces, complementary tiles and floating open shelves, this is an invigorating hue.

The Dulux experts explain: “Mint green kitchens are fresh when paired with white cabinets.”

Bright White

You might be surprised that white can make a bold statement and is especially well suited to a room where cleanliness is a must. Clean, crisp white can make a room look bigger, and paired with light wood finishes and brass accents, white is instantly warmer.

If white sounds too sterile, don't worry, there are many different shades of this classic kitchen hue and plenty of ways to spice it up - just check out these white kitchen ideas.

Turquoise and bronze

This interesting and down to earth combination will suit those who like to stand out from the crowd. Bronze brings warmth, which makes it suitable for use in rooms facing north or south. However, we recommend that you think twice before reproducing this look in a light-deprived room.

Pale sand floor tiles reflect light well and pair well with darker tones.

Blue

Soft, inviting and soothing blue is a great shade for both small and large kitchens. It may seem a little tricky to add such an eye-catching shade, but you don't have to cover your entire kitchen with it to add personality.

If you have limited space, you can choose a corner with an accent color, or opt for shade cabinets on an island, for example.

Navy blue

For a classic look that will stand the test of time, nothing beats navy blue. Complementing many colors and materials, navy blue can act as a neutral, opening up so many possibilities for interesting combinations. Add darker countertops, fluted glass, and boldly use walls that blend in with the interior.

More about the color: Blue color in the interior

Dark blue and brass

Do you prefer blue and white, or is dark blue not your style? Deep navy blue is a rich tone that you might find more attractive. This rich tone will make your space very warm and stylish. Pair with gold accents, brass hardware, copper utensils, yellow splashes, white marble, exposed brick, bold patterns and more.

Charcoal Gray

If you like to stay safe about color but like to make a statement, play with a more whimsical palette in Charcoal Dark Gray. Whether you choose matte or glossy, dark gray will look very sophisticated. Balance it out with light-colored countertops and wall cabinets to keep the room feeling airy, or spruce it up with a light backsplash.

Gray and yellow

If dark gray seems too dark, choose cool and soothing soft gray furniture, and save dark gray on the kitchen island. This minimalist cooking space combines rattan, bright yellow lighting and a marble back to keep it fresh, modern and fun.

Gray

A fan of beige and gray, but can't decide what to prefer? Enter greige... the sweet spot with the warmth of beige and the neutrality of grey. Pair with dark wood, dramatic brass lighting, matching veined marble and light wood flooring for a look that screams luxury.

Color details: Gray in various interior styles

Yellow and Neutral

If sunny yellow sounds too bright, you might want a two-tone effect. Choose a bold color for the bottom units and balance it on top with a neutral hue or open shelves so it doesn't seem overwhelming like this island.

Pink and green

Pink wall cabinets set against an emerald green tiled wall create a striking effect but are also energizing and fun.

Adding a few colorful patterned tiles can be a very quick way to create an accent piece in your kitchen. The backsplash is the obvious place to add color, but why not go bold and copy this idea by tiling the entire wall! Really practical, tiled walls are easy to clean and perfect for areas that get heavily splattered during cooking, but they can also add interest and texture to a kitchen.

See our full gallery for more green kitchen ideas.

Red

There are very few color schemes as bright as red, and when used in the kitchen, this shade creates a feeling of warmth and comfort. It might not work in other rooms, like the bedroom, but in the kitchen, this shade looks really good, especially when paired with wood.

If bold raspberry cabinets make you wince, you can opt for an eggplant hue for a more sophisticated look, or why not add a touch of red to your scheme as a patterned splashback or dramatic lighting.

More about the color: Red color in the interior of the apartment and its combinations

Black

The glossy and matte black finish of the body looks ultra-modern, but the black color will look good both on a shaker and on a modern design.

Add bright white accents to worktops and wall cabinets for the perfect balance of light and shadow, perfect for large or small kitchens.

And there's nothing that makes us swoon more than matte black cabinets paired with gold accents... .

If your kitchen is otherwise white, but you don't plan on refurbishing anytime soon, bright pendant lights bring warmth and joy to a white kitchen.

Color contrasts

Another way to add color is to play with contrasting colors for walls and cabinets.

By consciously choosing two shades that are opposite each other on the color wheel, you can easily create an attractive scheme that also seems harmonious.

Multicolor Blinds

Adding a colorful curtain or a bold freestanding cabinet is another easy win if you're not looking to redo the entire kitchen.

If you're sure you want to keep your furniture neutral, how about painting the inside of your cabinets a bright vibrant color?

A splash of surprise will bring joy every time you open the cabinet. It also adds a discreet yet impactful element to the color scheme.

Combining walls and cabinets

Instead of contrasting colors, paint the walls the same color as your cabinet, this can fool the eye and make the kitchen look bigger. You can then add interest to a statement backsplash or countertop next to your favorite artwork.

Island orange

For a dramatic look, try a bright kitchen island. Having an island in a vibrant color like orange instantly elevates a neutral décor, and this color can act as a springboard for artwork and other accessories.

More about color: Orange in the interior

Bright bar stools

Not everyone needs a bright kitchen, but that doesn't mean you can't bring color to a neutral room with brightly colored furniture.

Using contrasting dining chairs or bar stools can add a fun element to your décor and completely energize the space. And because the rest of the space stays so simple, they don't overwhelm the room.

Turquoise and Orange

You can play with this contrast in other areas of the kitchen as well, so try pairing a soft turquoise cabinet color with an equally soft orange on the wood doors and window frame, for example.

If you're lucky enough to have a pantry or laundry room, this is the perfect place to try out the bold color.

This is not a room you are likely to sit in for hours, so take the opportunity to experiment.

For example, painting cabinets pink makes a dull, functional room look quite dynamic.

Floor Setting

An easy way to add some color is to add a pattern in the form of wallpaper or a patterned floor. Choose hues that harmonize with the interior and add a touch of personality, as well as introducing a color that could perhaps be paired with accessories in your kitchen such as a bar stool, appliances and lighting.

Or why not do something different and lay tiles from wall to floor?

Wow Factor Tile

Avoiding anything that can irritate you, choose a stylish patterned tile that goes well with your existing space to add instant color.

If you have a Victorian property, why not look for antique tiles to add some extra character, or if you have a super modern space, consider geometric patterns to bring out the style.

Retro Blues

Retro kitchens are definitely making a comeback and a key part of the design trend is the abundance of color. These simple kitchen cabinets are painted with Normandy paint - try pairing this darker shade with candy flowers and vintage crockery to recreate that look.

Petrol Blue and Gold

Choosing a palette of just a few similar colors can lead to an outstanding kitchen. We love the blue and gold color scheme in this kitchen, it's a very simple design when you look closely but the colors keep it from being simple.

Yellow, black and red

Who would have thought that we would be attracted to black and yellow?! There's even some red in the terracotta floor tiles. It shouldn't work, but it totally does. This black kitchen proves that you can pair black with other bolder colors without the room looking too crazy.

The main thing is to stick to more muted tones. The yellow is still bold here, but it's more mustard than citrus, and the same goes for the red, it's more of an earthy red than a vibrant base tone. There is also plenty of light in this kitchen, which helps, and the white walls and ceilings balance out all the colors.

Wood, white and green

If you're not ready to make your kitchen stand out in a techno color, or maybe you're renting a space rather than create the colorful kitchen of your dreams, try adding some color with an apron.

Marine Blue & White

If you're remodeling a kitchen on a budget and don't want to splurge on flashy kitchen cabinets, try painting your existing cabinets.

Rustic Pastels

If you didn't think a bold kitchen color scheme could work in a country kitchen, think again. The pastel colors of this kitchen look great in a more traditional space. Pair these pale colors with a marble countertop and gold accessories without looking too trendy.

Medium gray with bright red

Gray counts as a color too, right? Steal the idea of ​​this kitchen and bring some color to a neutral scheme. We love the bright red hue of the bar stools, but there's also this lovely, more subtle turquoise from the single glass front cabinets.

The exterior doesn't look crazy, but the colorful accents really bring this drab kitchen to life, making it more fun and less monotonous.

Blue Gray

If you don't think crazy bold colors will work in your kitchen, try darker and more muted shades.

Gone are the days when dark colors in the kitchen and living areas were "doom and gloom". Color completely changes the mood of a room. When used skillfully, darker hues add sophistication and drama to a space, especially when paired with eye-catching metal hardware and well-placed lighting.

Lemon Blue

We have a tendency to play it safe in small spaces - all white will make the space look bigger, right? Wrong! You can still be bold in a small kitchen, just check out this lovely blue kitchen with this lovely muted yellow for contrast. The space still feels light and airy, but also full of personality.

Big tip here - look out for the lack of wall cabinets, which really help make a small kitchen look bigger, so if you can afford to stick with floor cabinets only.

There are many more ideas for small kitchens in our gallery.

Rose pink and navy blue

We are big fans of the kitchen island. They are a great way to add a little extra storage, more prep space, and you can always use them to mark extra seating. But besides being practical, they also give you the opportunity to be more adventurous in your choice of finish or color, or perhaps allow you to choose a more expensive countertop material that you would not dare to use for the entire kitchen.

Forest Green

Do you want to give your kitchen a real charm? Our answer: bold, vibrant green. The luscious green hue will really bring out the quality of your cabinets and bring other details like lighting and handles to life.

This kitchen is a truly stunning example of the bold use of color. We love how the same color and finish has been applied to the walls and cabinetry, which brings out the decorative elements of the kitchen. The addition of marble completes the luxurious eclectic look.

Olive green with patterned wallpaper

Like paint, kitchen wallpaper ideas can be a very easy way to subtly introduce color. We love that this wallpaper matches almost exactly the green of the cabinets, but still brings in that pink hue for contrast - another beautifully done two-tone kitchen.

Baby Pink & Pastel Green

Is it getting more dreamy than pale pink and sage green? You can recreate this combination by painting your kitchen cabinets and walls, but if your kitchen is already a fairly neutral space, consider adding these two tones in a smaller and simpler way. Paint the wall pink and look for sage-colored accessories and kitchenware to create a similar vibe, but with less effort.

Warm and playful pink is a universal shade for the kitchen. It can be softened and balanced with muted wood accents, paired with black or gray for an industrial feel, or contrasting bright hues for a lively and dynamic design.

What are the best colors for the kitchen?

The best colors for the kitchen are entirely up to you. That being said, if you're looking for a durable kitchen, you really have to think about what colors you can live with for a long time.

Classic colors like blue, green and gray are always a win-win, but if you want to get bold just make sure you order lots of samples and samples, maybe even try painting a wall in your potential choice and see if it fits. it's for life in the long run.

When choosing a cabinet shade, make sure you consider your space first - kitchens with a lot of light can have a bolder and darker color than a more closed room, where bright white, soft cream or warm dark brown cabinets will help create an illusion. more space.

Usually we see a lot of bold furniture colors - people seem bolder than before. Shades of blue and green seem to be the most popular, especially when paired with warmer taupes, moving away from cool grays.

Red is something you've probably seen a lot in commercials, and for good reason. It is the color of fire that conveys intensity and passion. Red is also a color that exudes bubbling energy, so you can also expect it to stimulate a frantic vibe in the kitchen. Not only that, red is known to promote appetite, so it is suitable not only for the kitchen, but also for the dining room.

Blue is known to have calming properties that can transform busy spaces like the kitchen into a more relaxed atmosphere. You can also opt for pastel colors by pairing white with most colors. This two-tone palette can also create a refreshing vibe.

Along with the colors and rich aroma of your recipe, features and decorative accessories can also create a warm feeling that can make your kitchen even more unique than other spaces in your home.

Best Colors for Small Kitchens

When thinking about which color to choose for your kitchen, it's important to consider the size of your space as well as the amount of natural light you have to play with. For small kitchens, it is recommended to avoid dark colors as you risk reducing the space. Although this does not mean that darker shades will not work for your room.

Best color choices for large kitchens

If you have more space, you have a lot more freedom, whether it's adding bold statements or introducing colors.

Those with a large kitchen with plenty of natural light and a high ceiling can experiment with darker hues as the amount of light and space in the kitchen ensures that the room still feels airy.

In fact, using too much white in a kitchen of this size can make it appear sparse, meaning that lighter tones need to be balanced with warmer, darker tones.

Sage color in the interior | Articles about furniture and interior

Neutral colors have long been loved by interior designers, because they can be used as a base that opens up wide opportunities for experimentation. And one of these favorites is the color of sage. Known as Desert Sage in interior palettes, this subdued soft shade of aquamarine with a touch of gray and white is good both on its own and in combination with other tones.

What is the secret of the popularity of sage color and why for many seasons in a row has it not lost its attractiveness for owners of exquisite taste? It's simple:

And the calm and delicate sage in the interior is absolutely versatile, and this is one of the main advantages. Due to its natural neutral character, it goes well with the texture of natural materials - terracotta tiles, wood of different species, wicker decor, natural fabrics, accessories made of clay, bronze and copper. No less interesting is the tone in combination with glass, glossy surfaces and even metal.

Shades of sage can be used to create interiors of rooms that differ in their functional purposes. At the same time, even being background or partially included, they do not lose their attractiveness and play a major role in the design.

Sage in kitchen design

The design of the room, which is rightly called the "heart" and soul of the house, shades of sage will give notes of calm and measured comfort. They seem to stop the passage of time, giving the opportunity to enjoy life instead of constant fuss.

The color is relevant for interiors in a colorful country and Provencal style. It is these areas, filled with the spirit of simple romance and comfort, that are most often used to create an atmosphere of home warmth and comfort.

Sage in kitchen design can be combined with olive, mint, turquoise and pale yellow tones. In wall decoration, they are placed in the lower part, smoothly shifting the sage tone higher - to the level of direct visual perception.

In sage color, the facades of the headset, kitchen apron can also be decorated. Window curtains, chair cushions, decor items are suitable as accents. Household appliances to match will look very impressive and stylish.

Sage shades in the interior of the living room

Once in the living room, the sage color demonstrates incredible metamorphoses - from a thoughtful and reasonable sage, he turns into a real dandy, filling the interior with a special subtly refined chic.

Shades of sage can create a cool and even rather austere atmosphere in the living room. But this happens only when they are combined with white and is relevant for modern interiors in the trendy style of Scandi.

If the choice fell on warmer and pastel beige, milky, terracotta, tones, diluted with the luxury of textures of natural wood, gilding, copper and bronze, then there will be no trace of the deliberate coolness of sage tones.

As for interior items, in the living room there is a place for sage velor in the upholstery of sofas, poufs and armchairs. As an addition, live plants, photographs in neat wooden frames, lamps, vases or figurines in a bronze or gilded shade are suitable.

Bedroom decoration

The life-giving power of sage, and more specifically, the bedroom interior in this shade, will help to ensure healthy sleep and good rest. It can be used in textile solutions or in wall decoration, decorating only one accent wall or using it as the main tone in the entire room. Even if you combine sage in textiles and wall decoration, this option will not be intrusive.

If there is no need for a colossal change of scenery, you can choose bedding or decorative pillows in sage color. This will be an amazing first step towards falling unconditionally in love with the calm and noble magic of an unusual shade.

The warm texture of natural wood in furniture and flooring, as well as gold-plated accessories, will help to emphasize the noble softness of sage color.
