If there's one color that encapsulates the design culture of the last decade, it's sage green. It's hard to know when the trend officially started, but by the tail-end of the 2010s, it was inescapable. It was at every wedding, the color of choice for bridesmaid dresses and table settings alike, it was in our wardrobes, taking the form of a cozy knit or a summer dress, and of course, it was all over our homes. But nowhere was the shade more prolific than within the kitchen.
Seemingly overnight, sage green kitchens became the default choice for modern homes and classic cottages alike. They were everywhere, on every Pinterest board and magazine page, and it didn't take long for the trend to reach the masses. The appeal was understandable, far more interesting than a traditional white or gray, while still maintaining the understated subtlety that made those neutrals so popular in the first place — an approachable starting point for the design-anxious.
