Erin Williamson Design painted this bedroom in a soothing muted sage green that highlights the height of the ceilings and shape of the roofline. As our interior experts explain, this cool colour is a soothing choice if you're looking to redecorate, or just freshen up your space with on-trend accents and accessories. You can make the contrast even more pleasing by opting for a shade of red with heavy orange undertones, such as poppy red. Although poppy red and sage green are essentially a directly contrasting color pairing, the fact that the shades used are not pure and bright means that the contrast is not overwhelming and instead comes across as interesting and deep. Being a colour derived from nature brown pairs perfectly with the natural appeal of sage green, creating a soothing colour scheme that feels like a country landscape. Whether used in small doses, as seen here with furniture details and brown cushions providing an accent colour on a neutral sofa against a calming sage green painted wall or whether you choose to paint the walls brown and use sage green as the accent, this colour combination is always a winner. Perfect for upcycling old furniture into your new favourite piece! Revive chairs, restore wardrobes or revamp an old chest of drawers with a smooth chalky matt finish in just one coat. No priming or sanding necessary beforehand.
