Sage Green Interior Paint Ideas

Vertical or Horizontal Stripes

• Stripes, whether vertical or horizontal, not only add a decorative element to your home, but stripes also change the visual effect of the room. While vertical wall stripes make a ceiling appear higher, horizontal stripes make a room appear wider. This is especially beneficial in rooms with low ceilings or narrow spaces. Sage stripes, when combined with a neutral color such as cream or white, provide a soft, cozy feeling.

Divided Walls

• Instead of painting all of your walls a single hue, consider dividing them into top and bottom sections with a neutral border. For example, paint the top half of the walls a mint green and paint the bottom sage. The neutral border will offset the green shades and balance out the hues.

  Another option is to sponge the top half of the walls while leaving the bottom section a solid hue, or vice versa. Sponging creates a naturally textured look and provides an elegant addition to any room.

Accent Wall

• Create a focal point in your living space by painting a single wall in sage green. The wall behind a fireplace is an ideal accent wall, because it highlights the fireplace, making it the center of attention. Likewise, you could opt to paint one wall in a neutral tone, such as cream, and paint the rest of the walls sage green. Sage green wallpaper is another option to create an accent wall. There are numerous designs available from swirls and geometric shapes to leaf prints and other natural textures.

Flooring Options

• The color of your flooring is especially important when it comes to painting walls sage green. Certain colors do not coordinate with sage green. For example, a bold, vibrant red carpet will clash with sage green walls, so it's best to opt for neutral colored flooring or natural textures, such as wood. Walnut and maple wood accent sage green while invoking a feeling of serene nature.
