What Color Trim to Use for Sage Green?
If you've decided to paint your walls sage, a light to medium green shade, a trim color to accompany it should be based on your decorative preferences and design scheme. A variety of trim colors can serve to make the sage hue the color star of the room, while others add a bold contrast that made sage green appear especially subdued. Does this Spark an idea?

Types
-
The type of room you're decorating should dictate the trim color you use. For instance, if your little girl's room is painted sage green, trim color in a brighter color like a medium shade of purple or fuchsia provides a balance between bright and understated color. If you're decorating the living room with sage green walls, tan or gold trim adds sophistication to the color scheme.
Size
-
The size of the room can also serve as a deciding factor in trim color. For a room that you want to lend an intimate feel to, like the bedroom or library, deep aubergine, charcoal gray or even black is ideal for wall trim and makes the room appear a little more closed-in. For smaller areas like the kitchen or dining room, bright white or yellow trim gives the space an open look.

Considerations
-
Since sage is considered a neutral color, the trim shade you use can coordinate with the boldest piece of furniture in the room. For instance, if you have a burgundy armchair in a room with brown or tan furniture, paint the trim a plum color; if the table in the space has bronze accents, use this shade as the wall trim hue.
