How to Decorate a Bedroom Using Sage Colors

Select a theme that allows you to decide on a color palette and furniture style. Think of how you want your bedroom to feel and go from there. If you want a comfortable, casual mood, you might enjoy a country theme. Or you might prefer a contemporary or traditional look.

Pick a color palette that revolves around sage. You don’t have to paint the walls sage, but if you want sage to be the primary color in the room, walls are a good place to start. For a balanced color palette, choose one primary color and two accent colors. If you want a bold, striking room, combine sage walls with mauve and brown. Another stunning combination is tangerine and cream. For an edgy vibe, put lavender on your walls and use sage on the bed, windows and floor. If you want something a little less bold, go with a warm golden yellow on the walls to make your room feel inviting.

Hang window treatments that do not compete with the color of your walls. Look to the colors on your bedspread or a floor rug for inspiration.

Add harmony to your bedroom with accessories. Bring accent colors into your room with the bedspread, cushions, throws, pillows, curtains and rugs. If sage is on your walls, use a different color on your bedspread and window treatments. If your walls are tan or white, use sage liberally throughout the room to establish its presence.

Add interest to your decorating style with texture. One of the easiest ways to do this is with different types of fabric. If you have a country theme in your room, try adding a wool throw on the bed. If your room is more feminine, try velvet pillows. For an elegant touch, hang silk curtains. Put a shag rug on your floor. Other ways to bring texture to your room is with pottery, ironwork and baskets.
