painting bedroom a sage color, what color coordinates?

Question

I am painting my bedroom in a sage color. I need coordinating colors. I want a warm, cozy, relaxing room, nothing bright and i hate gold. Anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

To have coordinating colors you need to stay on the same side of the color wheel.You could use browns for a natural and warm feeling.The cocoa or chocolate are very popular now.Then your third color would need to used for accents.Since your walls are sage and that is considered 60% of the room, use the coordinating color or brown in 30% as in furniture,wainscoating,etc and then the remaining 10% will be the accent color.You could use a dark tourquoise or a darker green than the sage, for the third color, for a very warm room.Then your personal touches would give life to the room with splashes of color,texture, and light.Best wishes!

Answer 2

Sage is a very neutral color, so it looks good with a lot.
Sage and cream are a great starting point. Then you should pick a really dark color. Every room should have something quite dark to sort of anchor it. Chocolate Brown, Black, Navy Blue or Really Deep Plum would all look nice. The Brown will probably be the warmest. I generally tend to add another color as well when decorating in my home. Maybe burnt orange (with a touch of red)? Orange is a very warm color, but strong as well. You may want to just use touches here and there if you go that route.

If you go to Behr.com you can look at different color options. Try "glowing firelight" "rootbeer" and "raffia cream."

Answer 3

Yes, I am doing a guest bed room in sage green and cream. This is a very pretty combination--looks clean and will also add some light to the sage green. For the third color you might consider adding a few touches like pillows in a coral color. --You know that a room is supposed to be made up of three colors. The sage , cream and a small amt of third color coral is a very pretty look. Some people add black pillows or touches of black instead of coral . Black painted furniture is very popular now. I just bought a black desk that looks pretty against the colors you mention.. Try black touches- sage and cream---or go with the cream and coral. I think you will be happy with either look. Good luck to you-- i love decorating and I do like color in my house instead of bland walls.

What Color Is Sage

Answer 5

a cream color would be warm and cozy and would go great with sage but dont leave any white on the trims paint all trim and roof if possible in the cream color any white in the room throws off the warm feeling depending on the color of your furniture is how good it would look. if you dont like the cream color ideas a dull red would also look good, or a darkesh purple but not too dark you dont want it to be close to a black color the would ruin your room. and if you like any of these ideas let me know im thinking about getting a degree for interior design

Answer 6

Sage and eggplant are a good color combination, very warm; sage and rust are harvest colors; sage and silvery gray are very deco glam and mutued. Chesapeake colors--soft sage and soft smokey blue gray with cream. Martha Steward paint colors are all very muted and soft--you could mix & match the chip cards to get ideas and get a feel of those you like (They are carried by Sherwin Williams).

Answer 7

My bedroom is sage green...honestly , I'm tired of it already and it's only been about a year. But I did dusty rose , lavenders and cream colors with it.

Answer 8

Shade of browns with a deep maroon or deep reds will give you the look your after. Anything in the white family is going to make that color pop instead of being subdued same with yellows. Accents of black and if you can find just the right color dark turquoise will give it a tailored look also.

Answer 9

Pale pink or cream. If you go for pale pink, try to find a bit on the bedding that you want to copy and see if someone can do a colour analysis on it to enable it to be reproduced as a paint. I know Dulux do this in the UK but I dont know how large a section they need to scan to get the colour match. If you go for cream, go towards the slightly stony creams as that seems to be the tone of the cream used in your bedding. Its certainly not a yellow cream.

Answer 10

think beach colors. a sand color would go nice, A slightly deeper sage to mimic waves.
