Sage is a team player and as such works well with a variety of colors. Softer hues can lean into the gentle side of sage while darker tones can play on its green foundation and deliver more drama. “A soft palette of blues and greens can look beautiful paired with a sage green rug. For a more impactful scheme, black and white geometrics pair well with sage green,” says Elisabeth Lyons Becker, Design Director at MDI Interior Design. If you opt for a patterned floor piece, this makes it easier to identify accent colors from your rug which you can use as accents in your scheme. It will also ensure that the result feels cohesive and isn’t overwhelming.
