5 interior colour schemes to complement sage green
Discover the magic of sage green and explore five popular pairings that will add personality to your home, from classic combinations to unexpected twists.
Home office
In a home office, sage green pairs beautifully with soft wooden tones and whimsical pinks, promoting clarity and creativity. To enhance the space further, we introduced a geometric wallpaper in complementary colours, adding a touch of fun and seamlessly integrating it into the home environment.
2. Living room
Drawing inspiration from a painting, we've curated a cosy, inviting living room scheme. Rich burgundy and soft pink hues blend harmoniously, creating a warm, comforting atmosphere perfect for relaxation. It's a space where you can unwind and feel right at home amidst colours that wrap you in comfort and tranquillity.
3. Guest bathroom
We opted for a nostalgic and natural wallpaper from Designers Guild for this small downstairs bathroom. Its muted tones and botanical and animal motifs effortlessly bring the outdoors inside. To harmonize the green hues, we introduced a soft sage fabric for the blind, complementing the pink tongue-and-groove lower walls. Finally, a delicate delphinium blue evokes the sky, completing the tranquil vibe of the downstairs retreat.
4. Master bedroom
In the bedroom, textures reign supreme—a plush velvet quilted throw pairs effortlessly with frill-edged cushions, complemented by Roman blinds adorning the windows. Anchored by a serene sage green, this palette of warm colours welcomes you into the room, promising a peaceful night's sleep.
5. Boy’s bedroom
Sage green and olive green are the foundation of this 10-year-old boy's bedroom. We incorporated wood elements, including a headboard and acoustic wall panel, to enhance the soothing ambience and absorb sound. The natural texture of wood adds warmth and depth to the space. Off-white ceilings reflect light, while grey and yellow stripe curtains provide warmth and a vibrant touch of colour.
