Breathe New Life into Your Home with Sage Green

You know all about butter yellow, and you’re no stranger to mocha mousse, but there’s another color trend on the rise that hasn’t saturated the mainstream just yet. Can you guess what it is? I suppose I gave it away already...Sage green home accents are the next big thing in interiors, and you heard it here first.

As a lifelong lover of the color, I’m especially excited to dive into this one with you. If your space is feeling dull or in need of a reset, verdant décor will fix that right away. And there’s a whole spectrum of hues, from pale pistachio to deep olive, to choose from. Because the color is so closely associated with nature, I’ve found that green elements can have a really energizing effect on a space, so without further ado, let’s talk shop.

Luxe Lighting

Lighting isn’t typically considered a “trend,” but 2025 is changing that. At Milan Design Week, statement fixtures were some of the most memorable and talked-about pieces. Much to everyone’s surprise, even overhead lighting is making a comeback. In my opinion, a little mood light can cover a world of hurt, so consider a colorful lamp or sconce. It’ll have more impact than you think.

Bits and Baubles

For lack of a better word, this is the fun stuff—the type of accessories you likely associate with home décor. The advantage of trinkets and wall art is that you can often find affordable options that are easy to switch out whenever you move on to a new aesthetic.

Linen and Throws

Feeling lazy? Drape a green throw blanket over the back of the couch, and boom, you’re done. Sheets, quilts, throw pillows, and pillowcases are a very subtle way to lean into this trend. If the room in question is relatively neutral, you could also incorporate colored curtains.

Accent Furniture and Rugs

For those who are committed to the bit and unafraid to go for it, a pop of green furniture will make the most impact. While you’ll likely spend more money and keep the item for at least a few years, these are the items that can really transform a room.

Table Settings

Ain’t no party like a dinner party! Whether you’re actually hosting, making brunch for one, or just displaying a pretty tablecloth, your kitchen goods should serve double duty: function and style. Kitchenware is an element that most people don’t even think about when redecorating, but I’m here to fix that.
