Natural Textures and Materials

Age is a subdued tone, so whether it’s a darker or lighter shade, it will always go well with earthy tones and natural materials and textures. Such as lots of natural wood, irregular shapes, even marble, and minimalist decor.

Blue Rug

One of the accent colors that go well with sage green is the blue. It doesn’t disturb the relaxing tone that the former sets and anchors the interior with earthy tones.

Greenery

We’ve already established that sage green is a natural and earthy color. That’s why it is so popular these days when we’re all talking about sustainable design and repurposing. Even though a sofa in this color has nothing to do with these ideas, it alludes to them with its color.

If we’re moving on to lighter shades of sage green (to the point where it’s washed out and almost white) the missing saturation of a color can be added with simple accent pillows in a vibrant tone. Bright green works well, of course.

Mixing and Matching Colors

While a sage green sofa in a living room requires the color scheme to be mostly neutral (white walls, light floors), you can add a lot of decor interest by mixing and matching furniture. So choose other shades of green, even pale purples will work. Bright yellow lamps will make the interior playful.

Adding More Pastel Colors
