Sage Green Walls
As you can see in this Scandinavian living room. Sage green is the perfect natural base to decorate your room with. Combine it with natural materials and a gallery wall and you have created a calm colorful living room.

Because sage green is such a calm color tone it is also perfect for the bedroom. In this bedroom by Ave Styles the half-painted sage green wall is combined with warm earthy textures.
