Sage Green Theory Says That This Calming Hue Is The Go-To Home Decor Color That Most Couples Can Agree On After Moving In Together
When I moved into my first apartment after graduating college, what I refer to as my first ‘adult’ apartment, I unconsciously settled on a sage green motif for my bedroom. I selected a sage green throw blanket and some sage curtains.
The same goes for my living room, as my roommates and I admired some sage green decor items.
Then, I learned through social media that I was not alone. Sage green has taken over the world of home decor and design and is now one of the safest colors to select when building your home solo or with a partner.
It’s understandable why sage green has become such a popular color for interior decorating. It’s gender-neutral, it goes with a lot of other colors, it reminds us of nature, and it’s calming yet optimistic at the same time.
There’s also the ‘sage green theory,’ dubbed by TikTok creator Avery (@averybrynn1), who predicts that as women move in with their boyfriends and start designing their homes, sage green will come into the mix somehow.
“There will be a day; you will not see it coming,” says Avery in her viral video.
“[You’ll be] trying so badly to make his Dallas Cowboys memorabilia go with your Serena and Lily decor [and] inevitably, you are going to turn to sage green. You are not alone; please don’t feel ashamed.”
Whether or not you’re moving in with your partner, if you’re decorating your space and find yourself picking out some sage green pieces, as Avery said, you’re not alone.
It’s a great color, and even if it is popular right now, that doesn’t take away from its greatness.

If you’re looking for ways to incorporate sage green into your home, here are some ways to do it.
Curtains
I’m telling you, I love my sage green curtains. They’re an especially great choice if you’re putting them in a space with neutral-colored walls and furniture or bedding.
For instance, I have off-white walls and white bedding, so my sage green curtains add a sweet pop of color to my bedroom.
Throw blankets and pillows
Sage green is great for specifically furniture-related accessories like throw pillows and blankets because it goes well with so many basic furniture colors.
For instance, if you’re struggling to brighten up and add a pop of color to your grey couch, lean on sage green.
Vases
I love the versatility of vases in home decor, as they can hold more than just flowers or even just stand on their own.
Sage green vases are a nice way to add some natural green colors to your home and are great for filling any negative or empty space.
Area rug
An area rug that’s mostly sage green or has specks of sage green can add a lot of cozy energy to a space.
If your floors aren’t looking great or you want your living room section from an open floor plan to stand out, a nice rug with sage green accents will add something special.
Coasters
If you’re not sure how you feel about sage green yet and want to start with very small accents, you can start by buying some pretty sage green coasters.
The plus side is that sage greed goes great with most types of wood, adding a nice and natural feel to any coffee or end table.
Again, sage green is a great color. If people judge you for using sage green because it’s “basic” or “overused,” remember that if it makes you happy, that’s all that matters!
