Art for Sage Green Walls: How to Choose Colours That Glow

Sage green has become one of the most-loved wall colours in British homes, and it is easy to see why. It is calm, earthy and wonderfully easy to live with. But which art actually looks good against it? We made a short video to show you in real rooms.

Start with warm woods and cream

Sage loves natural textures. Oak furniture, linen cushions and a cosy cream throw all make it feel warm rather than cool. Keep that warmth going on the wall and the whole room comes together.

Pick art in warm tones

Warm colours are your best friend here. Terracotta, ochre and soft gold really glow against green: the patchwork harvest colours of Ochre Fields or the shimmering gold of Golden Fronds look right at home. Blush and dusty pink work beautifully too; Gold Leaf Mist brings a soft, romantic touch above a sofa.

Or go tonal with deep green

If you prefer a layered, grown-up look, choose a painting with a deeper, richer green than your walls, such as Emerald Marble Flow. Botanical pieces and gentle landscapes, like the birch woodland of Birch Glow, feel perfectly natural with sage.

Frames that suit sage

Warm oak, walnut or antique gold frames echo the earthy feel of the colour, while crisp white keeps things light and fresh, as you can see in the video. Every Gallery 23 piece is hand painted, made to any size to fit your wall, and arrives framed and ready to hang.
