Sage green is here to stick around as a new neutral! While the Pantone color of the year may be a deep purple, the popularity of sage has spiked greatly this year, and it\u2019s easy to see why. Sage can freshen up your space and give it a stunning look without being boring. Here are four reasons to love using sage throughout your home.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1. It Has Dual Uses<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cushionsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CushionSource_Sage_ThrowPillows-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sage Green Throw Pillows\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cushionsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CushionSource_Sage_ThrowPillows-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cushionsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CushionSource_Sage_ThrowPillows-1-460x307.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.cushionsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CushionSource_Sage_ThrowPillows-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cushionsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CushionSource_Sage_ThrowPillows-1-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the great things about sage is there are so many ways it can be used. The grayish-green soft hue steps out of the background as a neutral color, unlike typical neutrals that are there to just fill the space. It can also be used as a pop of color by pairing it with a combination of light neutrals and stark colors.<\/p>\n<h2>2. It Blends Seamlessly<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7885\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cushionsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CushionSource_Sage_Blends-1.jpg\" alt=\"Decorating with Sage\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cushionsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CushionSource_Sage_Blends-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cushionsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CushionSource_Sage_Blends-1-460x307.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.cushionsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CushionSource_Sage_Blends-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cushionsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CushionSource_Sage_Blends-1-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><br \/>\nAnytime you are picking a neutral color, you think about what it will be surrounding and how it will pair with what you already have. With sage, you don\u2019t have to worry how it will look with everything else &#8211; it blends perfectly with anything. From earthy wood tones to stark metals, sage complements anything it is paired with.<\/p>\n<h2>3.
