Painting bedroom a sage color, what color coordinates?

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?

Painting bedroom a sage color, what color coordinates?
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!
Reply:Tan, brown, orange,even yellows. Happy decorating.
Reply:I would use lavendar and cream
Reply: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
Reply:soft browns, off-white, try to go to natural colors.
Reply:linen white and tangerine
Reply:Pale yellows,pale pinks,beige or lite gray...
Reply: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.
Reply:think beach colors. a sand color would go nice, A slightly deeper sage to mimic waves.
Reply: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.
Reply: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 %26amp; match the chip cards to get ideas and get a feel of those you like (They are carried by Sherwin Williams).
Reply:use eggshell or a soft white to accent.

Lavender, yellows, warm oranges and natural tones might work well.
Reply:cream color white, light-ish brown
Reply:How about coco
Reply:a light red or pink and white.
Reply: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."
Reply:a rusty shade of brown or burgundy will go well.

Reply: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.
Reply:Lavender, pale and darker pinks, soft yellows, darker shade of green, light blues, and creams/beige.
