18 Sage Green Living Room Ideas
There’s no better way to soften a room than with a tranquil shade of sage. Use these 18 sage green living room ideas to invite serenity into your space and balance out the other colors in your color scheme.
1. Sage and neutral living room
You can’t go wrong with a classic neutral living room scheme. Use sage green as the base color and layer in lots of light, airy hues such as beige, white, and pale woods.
The key to making this color palette work is to add in subtle pops of black, like we have here with the picture frames and the side table. It stops the room from feeling too washed out and adds a bit of contrast.
2. Sage green and grey living room
If you want to create a really calming, serene living room, then team sage green with grey. This color combo is so easy to get right and is perfect for a living room as it’s just the right side of moody, but still light and fresh.
You could paint all the walls in your living room white and then add in sage green and grey with the furniture and decor. We love the touches of black in this room too, the mirror, the coffee table, and the picture frames all add a bit of contrast to the soft color palette.
3. Sage green and pink living room
Pink and sage green is a classic color combination and it’s easy to see why. The soft, pastel hues work so well together, creating a lovely, calming color scheme that’s perfect for a living room.
In this space, the sage green is on the walls and the pink is brought in through the soft furnishings. The two colors are also balanced out by the warm neutral tones in the rug and the cream-colored sofa.
4. Sage green and black living room
If you want to give your living room a bit of a moody makeover, then pair sage green with black. It’s a classic color combo that’s perfect for living rooms as you can see in this space.
The dark walls and the black and white rug create a dramatic backdrop in this room, but the sage green sofa and the lighter touches in the room, like the lamp and the cushions, bring in some balance and stop the space from feeling too dark.
5. Sage green and white living room
The combination of sage green and white has a classic, timeless look.
This living room is a great example of how you can use a color scheme that’s been around for centuries but still make it look fresh and modern.
The white walls and ceiling keep the room looking light and airy, and the sage green sofa and area rug add just enough color to keep things interesting.
To prevent the room from feeling too stark, the designer added a few black accents, like the throw pillows and the coffee table, and a brass chandelier and sconces bring in a touch of warmth.
6. Sage green and dark wood living room
This shade of sage green is so warm and inviting, and it’s been paired with some lovely dark wood tones in this living room. The paneling, the floor, and the furniture all have a really rich, dark wood finish and it really makes the sage green pop.
This is a great example of how you can bring a more traditional color into a modern space. The sage green here is the only nod to a more traditional color palette, but it’s been used so effectively to warm up the cool greys and whites in the rest of the room.
7. Sage green and yellow living room
Yellow and sage green are a match made in heaven. These soft, pastel hues work so well together to create a light, fresh color scheme that’s perfect for living rooms.
This living room has been kept very simple, with just a few pops of yellow added through the cushions, the artwork, and the vase on the coffee table. The rest of the room has been kept very neutral with white walls, a cream sofa, and a jute rug.
8. Sage green and blue living room
If you have a large living room, you can use the color of the walls to create different zones within the space. Here, the sage green walls define the seating area, and the blue wall behind the sofa creates a backdrop for a console table.
The colors are then brought together with the rug and the throw pillows, and the rest of the room is tied in with touches of blue and green in the artwork and the accessories.
9. Sage green and metallic living room
If you want to add a touch of luxury to your sage green living room then metallics are the way to do it. Gold, copper, silver, and brass all work really well with sage green, and you can bring them in through your lighting, your coffee table, and other accessories.
This living room has a lovely mix of sage green and gold. The color scheme is grounded by the dark wood floor and the pops of black in the coffee table and the artwork.
10. Sage green and patterned living room
If you are looking to add a subtle pop of color to a neutral living room, introducing a sage green sofa is a great idea. This living room design shows how well sage green can work with other soft colors, like the blush pink and light blue.
The traditional patterned rug and the velvet cushions add texture and a lovely vintage feel to the space. The artwork above the sofa adds a splash of color and ties in the other hues used in the room.
11. Sage green living room with botanical accents
Botanical prints are a great way to bring a hint of color into a sage green living room. The prints in this living room have been used as inspiration for the color scheme. The soft green of the walls, the warm neutral of the sofa, and the hint of pink in the throw all come from the artwork.
The color scheme is balanced with plenty of crisp white and a few darker accents. The botanical print on the wall, the houseplant, and the vase of flowers on the coffee table all bring a fresh, natural touch to the room.
12. Sage green living room with a gallery wall
A gallery wall is a great way to add a feature to a living room, and it’s a particularly good option if you want to add color and pattern.
This sage green living room is a lovely example of how a gallery wall can be used to bring in a soft, muted color like green. The rest of the room is kept very neutral, with just hints of the green repeated in the cushions and the vase on the coffee table.
13. Sage green living room with mid-century furniture
The mid-century modern furniture in this living room by Studio McGee is the perfect match for the soft sage green walls. The furniture is kept simple and streamlined, but it’s the mix of textures and patterns that make it feel so inviting.
The rug, throw pillows, and artwork all bring in different colors and patterns, but they all complement the sage green color scheme.
14. Sage green living room with a boho vibe
Boho rooms are always a hit with us, and this sage green living room is no exception. The colors are kept soft, with plenty of layers of texture and pattern to bring in the bohemian style.
You might not be able to see it in this image, but the wall behind the sofa is actually wallpapered. If you want to bring some subtle pattern into a sage green living room, a delicate print like this is perfect. You could even just wallpaper a panel of the wall to create a feature that’s super subtle.
15. Sage green living room with a Scandi vibe
The soft sage green used in this living room is the perfect backdrop for the simple Scandi decor. This is a great example of how you can add a color to a room without it becoming the focus.
The green is used in the curtains, cushions, and just very subtly on the walls, creating a cohesive look that doesn’t feel too overdone.
16. Sage green living room with a traditional feel
Green is a color that has long been associated with traditional decorating. It’s a popular color for classic living rooms, but this sage green living room shows how you can give the look a modern update.
The walls are painted in a soft sage green that creates a calming backdrop for the room. The dark wood floor and fireplace surround add depth to the room, while the white ceiling and trim keep the space feeling bright and airy.

The sharp lines of the furniture and the monochrome color scheme in this living room give the space a modern feel. The sage green walls balance out the stark black and white, adding a softness to the room.
18. Sage green living room with an eclectic feel
If you are looking for a sage green living room idea that’s a little more unique, try adding a single wall of sage green paint and then mix in some other colors and patterns.
The dark blue in the area rug and throw pillow adds a lovely contrast to the green, and the mustard yellow in the sofa and the gold in the side tables bring in some warmth. The gallery wall and the oversized artwork add a lot of interest to the room, and the eclectic mix of furniture in the space gives it a unique, collected feel.
