This blog post is all about the best sage green bedroom ideas!

Sage green is an elegant and soothing color that has taken the interior design world by storm in the last few years. It has effectively become what we can call a “new neutral”. This category includes neutral tones that are more unique and rich than the standard white, beige, black, and grey.

Personally, I find sage green to be the ideal choice for a sophisticated room with an inviting atmosphere. Something about it makes it an incredibly versatile and chic addition to your color palette of choice. It adds depth and dimension to any space while remaining understated and looking great both in darker spaces, as well as in bright natural light.

That’s why in this post, I wanted to explore a few ideas to incorporate this stunning color into a bedroom. If you want to design the perfect sage green retreat, you can do much more than settle for a simple sage green bedroom wall. Get ready to be inspired!

16 Sage Green Bedroom Ideas

1. Layer On The Decorative Pillows

Throw pillows are a fantastic way to make any bedroom feel cozier. They give you a chance to layer different fabrics, textures, and colors to create some variety and keep your decor comfortable but visually interesting. They work especially well to elevate day beds if you live in a studio or have a guest bedroom.

When choosing pieces for your sage green bedroom, make sure to curate a collection of decorative pillows in this color. You can also include complementary tones like beige or brown, as well as contrast accent pieces like orange or pink. I think these jacquard green pillows would pair extremely well with these embroidered beige ones.

If you want your pillows to look extra fluffy, make sure to look for a feather insert. They are easy to fluff up and look so luxurious!

2. Include A Neutral Statement Chandelier

Especially if you decide to go for sage green bedroom walls, it can be a good idea to balance things out by introducing a neutral light fixture into your space. A neutral chandelier can look interesting and make a statement without becoming a strong focal point for your space.

Consider materials like wood, wicker/rattan, or even crystal. The goal is to select a piece that can elevate your bedroom design without taking attention away from your sage green accents. I like boho-inspired designs like this one or even pieces with a more minimalist approach like this one.

3. Make Sure To Add A Sage Green Throw Blanket

A colorful throw is the perfect way to introduce a sage green accent into your space. The best part: it’s an affordable idea and a great starting point if you plan on slowly introducing sage green details into an existing design or colour scheme. I especially like to see green throws as contrast elements against white bedding or other white textiles like pillows and curtains.

You can display it at the end of your bed by folding it neatly or store it in a wicker basket for some cozy and practical bedroom corner decor. You’ll see how despite being such a small piece, it can start introducing into your space the upscale and calming effect that is so characteristic of sage green decor.

As far as materials are concerned, I would recommend you invest in at least two throws: one for spring/summer and one for fall/winter. Materials like linen or cotton will be perfect for the warmer months, while wool and cashmere will keep you warm and cozy during the colder seasons.

4. Paint A Sage Green Accent Wall 

​Adding a sage green paint color to your bedroom is the quickest way to embrace this color and transform your space. However, a full set of sage green walls can be scary to commit to, especially if you are used to simple, white walls. That’s why an accent wall can be a good choice to create a beautiful focal point for your space without taking too much of a design risk.

Another great idea is to invest in some sage green wallpaper. If you have been reading the blog for some time, you know I love how chic and transformative wallpaper can look in almost any space. If you’re feeling bold and like a bit of a vintage vibe, consider a botanical pattern like this one by William Morris. For a more modern and understated look, opt instead for something more simple.

5. Opt for A Fabric Headboard

A sage green headboard is a must-have if you want to achieve a cohesive look around this theme. Especially if you choose an upholstered headboard, this piece has the potential to truly set the tone for the entire room. You can invest in it as a stand-alone piece, or upgrade your entire bed frame depending on the budget you are working with.

The style of headboard you choose depends, of course, on what type of sage green bedroom you are designing. The great thing about the increased popularity of this color is that you will find plenty of options to match all styles and interior decor trends!

Also, don’t be afraid of pairing a statement green headboard with contrast pieces like a white nightstand or bright-colored bedding. The juxtaposition will add a fun, eclectic touch to your design making for a more unique bedroom.

6. Hang Sage & Cream Striped Curtains

Upgrading your curtains is a quick and easy way to refresh your bedroom design without investing a ton of time or money into it. Curtains are not only functional – especially in the bedroom, privacy is an absolute must – but they also help create a more serene atmosphere. Like all textile decor, they make your space feel more cozy and welcoming.

Forget about plain curtains and look instead into a beautiful pattern combining bright whites and a gorgeous sage green shade. For example, I love stripes as they are a timeless classic that looks both fun and elegant. A floral print or simple, flowy linen pieces can also work.

7. Add Plenty of Greenery

As all interior designers will tell you, greenery is a great way to add an organic touch to your bedroom. In this case, greenery pairs exceptionally well with a sage green theme. It brings into your design natural elements, new textures, and a small pop of color without straying too much from the original palette.

If you don’t mind the maintenance of fresh flowers, consider displaying a new bouquet each week on your dresser or vanity using a sage green vase like this one. Alternatively, you can opt for a small potted tree in a beautiful seagrass basket (small olive trees would be perfect for this idea!)

You can also go for a faux plant or artificial flowers if you’re not gifted with a green thumb (no judgment here from me and my endless stream of dead plants!) or if you’re decorating a low-traffic area like a guest bedroom.

8. Add Sage Green Accents

The sage green color does not need to be the main feature of your bedroom for it to belong in your space. It actually works extremely well as an understated accent tone, especially for neutral bedrooms that look a bit flat or monotone.

You can simply replace your neutral bedding with a light sage green print and watch your bedroom immediately look more sophisticated. A set like this one looks extra classy and dreamy!

9. Stick to The Theme With A Gallery Wall

A gallery wall is an amazing way to showcase your taste in your personal space while creating a powerful focal point above your bed. No matter whether it’s a huge collection or just a few pieces, the right gallery wall can be the finishing touch your sage green bedroom is currently missing.

I recommend you spend some time curating a selection of prints, artworks, and photos that you love. It’s a bit more time-consuming than defaulting to a pre-made gallery but I promise the result will be worth it and extra unique. My favorite website for this is Desenio. I used it to create my living room gallery wall and fell in love with so many of their prints!

As far as frames are concerned, sage green walls will pair with pretty much anything. You can go for vintage, gold pieces for a glamorous touch or stick to a simple black or wooden slim frame to let the art speak for itself.

10. Pair Sage & Baby Pink For A Delicate Palette

Sage green pairs well with a lot of different shades. However, there is one color it’s often used with to create a timeless combination: pink. These two colors result in a delicate, botanical-inspired color scheme that can soften any room and make it so much dreamier!

This color combo can also be used in bedrooms with a more modern appearance. The key, in this case, is to use pink more sparingly, as an accent, and go for pieces that are a bit more stylish and minimalist.

11. Opt for Natural Wood Furniture for An Organic Element

Sage green being a nature-inspired color, it naturally works well with wooden furniture. The use of natural materials like wood is always something that can elevate your space, especially if you decide to invest in high-quality, hand-made pieces.

If you want to create a more modern, contemporary design, look into Scandinavia-inspired wooden furniture where clean lines and simple shapes are synonymous with understated elegance. For a more boho vibe, opt instead for warm bamboo tones to lean into that organic and carefree spirit. Lastly, red wood furniture can help you introduce an element of contrast into your design.

The possibilities are endless!

12. Use Ambient Lighting

The right light fixtures set the mood for the entire room and they are fundamental elements of design, especially in a space like your bedroom. You need functional lighting that can also set the right ambiance for you to relax and unwind in the evening.

When it comes to choosing the perfect ambient lighting for your sage green bedroom, focus on warm light bulbs. This will help you make the space feel more cozy, making sure you don’t bring out too much of the blue undertones of this color.

You can also combine several, small light sources to create more diffused lighting for your space. For instance, place a floor lamp in the corner and a set of cute table lamps on your nightstands. Wall-mounted sconces are another great alternative for accent lighting for your wall decor or as elevated reading lights.

13. Hang Macramè Wall Decor

Painting your bedroom walls sage green is not necessarily all you need to do to make your room feel complete. Think of your new colorful walls as the perfect base for a statement decorative element or beautiful wall art.

For example, I think a macrame piece can be the perfect way to add some character and a bohemian spirit to your space. The natural fibers bring a ton of texture and depth to the wall, while the neutral color pairs effortlessly with the sage green background. I find this so chic!

14. Invest in a Beautiful Area Rug

An area rug is a must-have in all bedrooms – it grounds your large pieces of furniture and makes your space feel cozier and warmer. It’s also a simple yet effective way to elevate your overall design by bringing in texture and making the room appear more complete.

For your sage green bedroom, consider investing in a large area rug as the perfect finishing touch. Various styles can work with this color, and the right piece should tie together your existing decor. If you have a traditional bedroom, a green floral rug may be exactly what you need. For a more modern, minimalist bedroom, go instead for something like this – simple but contemporary. Jute is also a fantastic option for something more affordable and straightforward.

If you have pets or children, make sure to choose a rug that is easier to maintain and clean. Patterns tend to hide stains better and synthetic materials are more washing-machine-friendly than wool or silk pieces.

15. Invest in Sage Green Bedding

Sage green duvet covers are one of the most simple ways to introduce this color into your bedroom. Sage green bedding can be affordable, impactful, and a great way to test out if you’d love to have this color in your space. This is also the perfect color choice if you want neutral bedding but are tired of the more traditional options like white, beige, or gray.

16. Add Pops of Color For A Stylish Design

A modern sage green bedroom is the perfect place to mix up this versatile color with different colors for fun and unexpected accents. Pair sage-green paint colors with tones like bright red, deep blue, or orange for a touch of sophistication. This is your chance to embrace a bit of an eclectic approach and step out of your comfort zone!
