Modern Cottage
Boho meets modern in this teen girl's bedroom, from the shiplap walls painted a subtle sage and wicker accents to functional furniture (like the metal bed frame).
Soothing Shades
Design firm Daley Home finds a clever way to create the illusion of a sage green wall: floor-to-ceiling curtains behind the bed. The team then layers in calming hues with an upholstered bed and patterned area rug.

Accent Wall
The wall behind your bed is the perfect place for an eye-catching accent. Here, Workshop Studios builds a board and batten wall and paints it a cheerful green. Hint: Toss in a red accent, like a throw pillow, since it's green's complementary color.

Farmhouse Style
This sunny bedroom features wood paneling painted in Dunn-Edwards' Desert Sage, which pairs beautifully with a plaid upholstered headboard and light wood accents.
Colorful Bedding
Spruce up a neutral bedroom with a sage green duvet cover and an assortment of throw pillows. This blogger even draws a "headboard" using green paint and a black line detail.
A Dose of Pink
This cheerful color combination (pale pink and sage green) makes this bedroom feel like spring. The walls and picture frame molding are painted in Little Greene's Pea Green and the geometric wallpaper inside each frame adds to the room's visual appeal.
Vintage Flair

Paint the entire room sage green, including an exposed brick wall. Warm up this industrial design with a warm wood bed frame, leather accent chair and layered area rugs.
Bright and Light
This multi-functional space has built-in cabinets and a Murphy bed, all painted in a dreamy light sage. Farrow & Ball's Pigeon is the perfect cozy, nostalgic hue for this sun-filled room.
Traditional Details
In an historic house, sage green walls complement a white fireplace and metal bed topped with crisp bedding. Depending on the time of day, Farrow & Ball's Green Blue changes from soft green to cool blue.
More is More
When paired with wood tones and white accents, sage green can act as a calming neutral. Or, mix sage green with bright florals, animal prints and oversized art for maximalist style.
Beautiful Built-Ins
Coat built-in cabinetry in a cheery blue-green, just as designer Theresa Butler does in this teen's bedroom. When it comes to bedding, an area rug and accent wall, don't shy away from pattern.

Dark and Cozy
Opt for a deep, earthy sage in the bedroom, like this cozy look from Christine Schumacher of Localia Interiors. Play up the moodiness with a black-and-white floral wallpaper behind the bed.

Floor-to-Ceiling Sage
Go monochromatic and don't stop at painting your walls sage green. Extend the inviting shade to the ceiling. This rustic kid's bedroom flaunts Farrow & Ball's Lichen, a muted green with blue undertones.
Modern Wainscoting
Wainscoting brings a subtle pop of color and texture into this nature-inspired bedroom. The aesthetic is complete with black-and-white floral wallpaper, a wicker bed frame and cream bedding.
Warm Wood Tones
Ground light green with honey woods, whether it's a headboard, nightstands or nearby bookshelf. The end result will make you feel closer to nature.
Two-Tone Walls
Can't decide on one shade of sage? Try a darker color (Little Greene's Ambleside) on the bottom third of the wall and a gentler green (Little Greene's Aquamarine) on the upper walls.
