2. Contrast With Neutral Bedding
Use your walls and windows to showcase the sage green shade by painting your trim a deeper hue and walls a lighter one. Bring contrast to the deeper trim by opting for ivory and cream bedding that adds softness and is welcome to interest with a floral or paisley pattern.

3. Rest In Traditionalism
Light sage green shades pair excellently with red wood bedroom sets to create a traditional aesthetic. Red wood furniture is reminiscent of the natural color of trees in nature and has a historical appeal. It also provides a contrast between light and dark while the bedroom set completes all your furniture needs for the room.
4. Showcase in Bedding
You don’t have to include sage green in every area of your bedroom. Keep the shade controlled by only using it in your bedding. Sage green bedding provides a nice subtle pop of color against purer neutral shades and also keeps you cozy as you sleep!
5. Mix In Blue
Sage green and blue are complementary colors that mesh well in the form of paisley bedding. These cool shades add whimsy to your bedroom with the swirls of paisley that are balanced with white lines.

6. Match Your Wallpaper
Put sage green on blast in your bedroom by matching your bedding with sage green wallpaper. Wallpaper is a fun way to add interest to your room with a playful pattern that includes this chosen color rather than leaving your walls a solid shade. If your bedding and wallpaper is a deeper sage green, we recommend balancing it out with a white nightstand.

7. Warm With Brass
Does your bedroom have sage green walls? Warm (and illuminate) the space with a pair of brass wall sconces to place off to the sides of your headboard. Since sage green is a cool shade, the brass finish provides the warmth in this functional area for extra design and a unique switch up from the standard ceiling placement.
8. Pair With Pink
Bring pink into your sage green bedroom for a sweet complementary color. These shades pair well together since the coolness of green is balanced out with the softness of pink. Prop some pink throw pillows onto your sage green bedding for this pretty pair to stand out and add extra plushness to your sleep space.
9. Keep It Fresh
Lighter shades of sage green create a fresh, earthy look in a bedroom with white shiplapped walls, as seen in the picture above. The shiplap planks bring wooden texture and brightness for a fresh, earthy appeal.
10. Go Sheets Only
For a subtle sage green bedroom, keep the color confined to the bed sheets and pillowcases. Bed sheets peek out from the comforter and top pillows for a small inclusion of color that ties in well with an olive tree in the room. Olive trees have lighter green leaves that serve as a decorative element and another option to invite this color into your space.

11. Make It Mid-Century Modern
Into the mid-century modern aesthetic? Sage green with brown undertones is included in its color palette to create a space that’s modern and full of shapes. After painting your walls this mid-century modern color, place a floor lamp that combines clean lines and spheres next to a wooden mid-century modern bed for a room that speaks to this aesthetic.

12. Invite Luxury Fabrics
Add sophistication to your sage green bedroom with the inclusion of a velvet bench at the foot of your bed. Velvet is deemed a luxury fabric for its smooth and polished appearance that’s a great place to bring your chosen sage green shade for more style and function. Place a decorative tray along with a few home accents on top to elevate this decorative touch.

13. Slide In Yellow & Coral
Blue and pink aren’t the only colors that complement a sage green bedroom – coral and yellow add an eclectic pop of color to the room too. Layer a coral area rug underneath your bed before placing a yellow bed runner on top of your comforter to mix these brighter shades with the cool green.

14. Go Against the Wood Grain
For a truly warm room, we love pairing sage green walls with leather bedroom benches and hardwood flooring. The browns in both pop against the cool green wallpaper and include a lot of interest from the texture of the wood grain floors and pattern in the wallpaper design.
15. Seeing Double
Whether you’re styling a guest bedroom or a bedroom for two kids, use two sage green beds for symmetry and an instant eye-catcher. Two twin sage green beds give everyone their individual sleep area and are easy to style with a gold wall mirror and gray nightstand in the middle.
16. Channel the Tropics
Want to feel like you’re in your favorite vacation spot? Use sage green to channel the tropics with tropical patterned bedding and a palm tree. This vibrant aesthetic contains notes of rich sage green hues that will make you feel as if you’re at your beloved beachy spot.
Tip!
To balance the green and add texture, style the room with a seagrass basket like the picture above!
17. Leave It to the Bed
Beds are the focal point of any bedroom since they’re the biggest furniture piece and center of attraction. Leave the shade to this piece by going with a sage green bed to set the tone for the rest of the room. If your walls are a light neutral (similar to the picture), a sage green bed is sure to pop and demand attention.
18. Cluster Your Lighting
Make a statement with lighting in your sage green bedroom with clustered pendant lighting. These pendants contain at least three bulbs draping down from the ceiling to add depth to the room while lighting and warming the space at the same time. The bronze or gold finishes of the pendant add warmth to the room to make the space feel extra calming.
19. Go Half & Half
If you don’t want sage green to overtake your walls, go half and half. Paint the top half of your walls sage green before pasting a lighter pattern with gray and white on the bottom half. The mix of neutral and cool shades plus solid colors and patterns add visual interest to the room for a fun spin on sage green bedroom ideas.
20. Bring Color to Rustic Charm
The farmhouse aesthetic is full of creamy neutrals, so sage green makes the perfect colorful addition to this space. Sage green has an earthy element that correlates with the neutral for a cohesive look you can create with a green bed runner on top of farmhouse bedding along with matching curtains or drapes.
