Introducing Sage sheepskin into your home
Make way beige and white, there’s a new natural colour here to stay! The botanical trend has been around for a while in interiors, bringing nature into the home with the use of earthy materials, colours and plants. It’s a trend we’ve all fallen in love with, and now Sage Green has taken the spotlight! Let’s introduce sage sheepskin in your home.
Choose from our green shades to add gentle tones to bright spaces or complement cool, monochromatic designs. From sage to teal, sheepskin rugs can instantly transform your room.
For me, green is the colour of spring. And May is such a beautiful month, don’t you agree? The leaves on the trees are fresh and vibrant, and so many wild flowers are in bloom. The Vale of Clwyd, where Baa Stool Ltd is based, looks like a vast green patchwork quilt at this time of year.
According to Martha Roberts in Psychologies, “Green has had positive, lucky connotations for millennia. The Egyptian god Osiris was depicted with green skin and, in pagan times, green was symbolic of regeneration and birth.”
But sage green, with its grey and silver tones, is a subdued shade of green. Steve at Homenish describes it as “a medium to pale shade of earthy green, with grey undertones”. Of course, it gets its name from the herb sage; this plant’s dried leaves are a perfect match for the colour.

How does sage green make us feel?
The psychology of colour works on the premise that different colours stimulate different emotional reactions in us, and colours really do seem to affect our mood. It has even been shown that colours can affect our behaviour and the decisions we make.
In colour psychology, sage green represents growth but also naivety or inexperience, so it’s the perfect colour for spring with all its fresh growth, hope and potential.
As it’s a pale, calming hue, it helps us to relax and feel peaceful, so it’s a soothing and welcoming colour to use in your home. But it’s also highly versatile and can be used in combination with many other colours. Homenish believe that the best colours to match with sage green are white, grey, coral, bright yellow, beige, tan or blush pink. Sage green also looks wonderful beside natural wood, be it wooden furniture, doors or floorboards. Personally, though, I love sage green with dark greens and blues, or even purples.

Here are a few ways to add that sage-green freshness to your home
- Why not include some soft furnishings like one of our beautiful Baa Stools or Sheepskin Rugs to add a touch of spring and bring sage sheepskin in to your home.
- Displaying house plants in various shades of green can bring the outdoors inside and can add texture to a room. You might like to have a herb box in the kitchen window, for example.
- Having soft fabrics like curtains, throws and tablecloths in sage green can help to create a tranquil mood.
- Sage green on the walls can look wonderful too. Although it isn’t technically a neutral colour, it can be used in this way to create a soothing backdrop. And a soft pink really pulls this bold use of green together creating a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.
