A stylish alternative to run-of-the-mill grey, this sage will serve as the perfect base for colour palettes in any room. Use it in a living room if you’re looking to strike the right balance between traditional and contemporary.

When decorating more traditional spaces, you’ll want a heritage-inspired paint colour for your walls. Antique Sage is definitely something to consider if you’re eager to preserve the historic charm of a period property. 

While this sage is fairly muted, that’s exactly what you want if you’re trying to create a calming atmosphere. With its minty undertones, this sage is also a refreshing and uplifting addition to any colour palette. Stick to time-honoured accents like traditional white, or consider a more dramatic colour combination with intense black paint.

Where Do Sage Green Paint Colours Work Best?

You can use sage green paint colours wherever you’re looking to create calm. This makes this enchanting colour family a great option for bedrooms and bathrooms. If your interiors are on the small side, stick to subtler sages.

Sage can also be an eye-pleasing option those looking for kitchen paint. Grey-infused greens are particularly effective alongside stainless steel finishes and wooden cabinets and countertops. However, you’ll need to consider the colour of your units before deciding on how pale or dark to go. 

Darker sages work particularly well in dining spaces and living rooms. Again, you’ll want to think about the textures and colours of your furniture and room accessories before settling on a shade to coat your walls. 

Sages are commonly used in south-facing rooms that receive plenty of direct sunlight. However, this doesn’t mean they can’t be put to use in a north-facing room. The right hue can enrich and uplift a darker space, but it’s important to choose something that will add warmth. Anything with yellow undertones should work well.
