Sage Green Area Rugs

Neutral enough to be delightfully versatile but with a quirky shade that also stands out, a sage green area rug is the most effective choice to invite nature into your living room.

Green Rug

Sage green is a timeless color, but, since it has recently experienced a popular resurgence when it comes to décor, this seems like the perfect time to introduce it in your home.

Depending on the actual style of the rug and what colors you complement it with, a sage green rug can work across several interior styles, from contemporary to Scandinavian and bohemian (and more!).

To choose the right sage green rug for your home, start by deciding where you're going to place it. Measure that area, and try and leave around 18" of floor space around the rug's edges to create a balanced feel.

We also recommend taking the style of your seating area or surrounding furniture into consideration to find the right rug for it. 

For example, if your couch and chairs are either monochrome or fairly simple, you can choose a sage green rug with a more flamboyant pattern and including more than one hue.

However, if your furniture is already quite colorful and eye-catching, it'll probably be safer to opt for a humbler or monochrome sage green rug.

Is sage green warm or cool?

Sage green is a color that, thanks to its gray undertones, can be considered cold. However, most sage green hues are so soft and subtle that they'd be better described as neutral.

What colors go well with sage green?

There are different colors that go well with sage green, so it really depends on the effect that you're hoping to create:

  • For a bolder contrast, consider its main complementary color: muted red such as terra cotta or Venetian red. This will introduce a European or Bohemian feel and work particularly well as an accent color
  • Some nearly opposite shades for a more balanced contrasting effect are blue, orange, and purple
  • If you were hoping for a more neutral palette, choose gray, white, or beige as your primary color to complement your sage green rug
  • To emphasize the natural feel of sage green, pair up your rug with some earth tones like brown and yellow

Is sage green a calming color?

Yes, sage green can be considered a calming color, but we love how it still manages to bring a room to life, making it look both relaxing and vibrant.
