The Sage Green Aesthetic
I’ve been reading a lot recently about the ‘sage green aesthetic’—have you ever heard the term before? There seems to be an ‘aesthetic’ for just about everything these days, doesn’t there? But sage green interiors are a perennial favourite, and it’s easy to see why. Sage green is such a soft, restful colour. It gives interiors a tranquillity and a peaceful feel, perfect for bringing a touch of biophilic design into the home.
Why is Sage Green So Popular?
Sage green in an interior space is popular for various reasons.
As I’ve already mentioned, its muted, earthy tones lend a sense of calmness and tranquillity to spaces, which is particularly appealing in today’s fast-paced, digital world. It’s a reflection of the natural world and can evoke feelings of serenity and harmony, making it a popular choice for creating peaceful environments in bedrooms, offices, and other spaces.
And when it comes to trends, sage green never seems to go out of fashion. It is considered a timeless colour. Depending on what it’s paired with, it can be both traditional and understated and sleek and modern, making it a favourite with designers and homeowners alike.
From my perspective, sage green is such a versatile shade. It’s a true neutral that pairs well with so many other colours, allowing for endless possibilities. I love it!
