If one green has come to define calm, considered interiors, it's sage. Soft, grey-tinged and beautifully muted, sage green is the shade that behaves almost like a neutral — gentle enough to wrap a whole room in, characterful enough never to feel plain. It has the restfulness of green with none of the boldness, bringing a quiet, natural serenity that suits modern and country homes alike. Sage is the green you can live with anywhere, in any room, for years.
At Claret & Key, that soft sage is yours to make exactly right. Because every design is printed to order, you choose the precise tone — a pale eucalyptus, a classic sage, a deeper sage-grey — and any of our designs can be made in it. Made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
Why sage green works so well
Sage's magic is its softness. The grey in it tempers the green, so it feels calm, sophisticated and endlessly easy to live with — a true modern neutral. It flatters natural woods and rattan, warm whites and creams, soft pinks and gentle blues, and it lets a floral or botanical design feel delicate and fresh. Sage brings the calm of the garden indoors without ever dominating a room.
Where sage green wallpaper works
Sage suits any room you want to feel restful and natural. In a bedroom, it's soothing and serene, ideal for sleep. In a living room, it's a calm, characterful backdrop. In a kitchen, sage feels fresh and timeless against wood or cream cabinetry. And in a bathroom or hallway, it brings a clean, spa-like calm. Its gentle, grounded quality makes it one of the most soothing shades in the house.
Choosing your sage
Because we print to order, the exact tone is yours — a pale eucalyptus, a classic mid-sage, or a deeper, greyer sage. Every design comes in three finishes: Traditional (150gsm, super-matte), Heavy-Grade (300gsm) and Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm), all printed on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper.
Sage shifts softly with the light, so order a sample and see your shade in the room, morning and evening, before you commit.

This wallpaper is just gorgeous! I used the one that requires glue and it was super easy to i stall. One roll was enough for a 6’ wide laundry closet with 7’5” ceilings. Even on our orange peel walls it set beautifully. I did this behind our new washer dryer set up in our laundry closet with white oak cabinets and it’s perfect! Highly recommend!
Truly love this wallpaper. Looks amazing in both our bathroom (the original project) and as an accent in the back of a cabinet (what we did with the extra). Everyone who sees it comments on how classy and beautiful it is. For these reasons five stars!
However I do want to call out two concerns:
1. The online "calculator" on the site recommend nine roles, which seemed excessive for our less than 100 sq ft bathroom. I even reached out to support to double check and they said to go by the calculator. I'm glad I didn't because I ended up ordering five roles and only needing 4. I will say returning the 5th role was a pretty smooth process, so kudus to Claret and Key for that.
2. Strangely the "autumn" color with pale nutmeg background reads more green than brown in certain light. With bright overhead light it comes across as the soft brown we intended, but in natural light it reads much more green. Not anything to terrible just unexpected.
Beautiful paper! Our decorator commented on its quality and how nice and easy it was to work with compared to other wallpaper he had used in the past. Thank you.
So in love with this wallpaper. We wanted a cosy cottage bedroom vibe so we chose the Eloise. It’s such a pretty design that completely transformed the space. The wallpaper is such great quality .We have very uneven walls but didn’t have any issues. Hanging it was a joy. Highly recommend.
We used Blanche to paper some built in wardrobes that double up as room dividers. It was brilliant to be able to sample several background colour options and we are delighted with the finished result
Thank you. Fabulous Wallpaper.
Great quality paper and easy to hang.
The design is so rich in colour and adds such decadence to my dressing area. Now for the finishing touches.
Poor customer service - rolls are only available as one off 10m runs, so if you need 11m.. unfortunately you’ll be paying double for a second roll! Unless your walls are 8m or less, I’d avoid. Wrongly assumed Claret & Key would be slightly more compassionate about the situation and even help with a slightly discounted second roll, considering we only needed 1m. How wrong we were!
Store owner replied:
Hi Emily,
I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the service.
We sell our wallpaper by the roll, and we are unable to manufacture shorter rolls. This will be the same for most manufacturers as 10m rolls are standard, and most rooms require more than 1 roll to complete the job.
Thanks,
Claret & Key
I really loved this paper and thought it would look nice in my attic space. Delighted with the end result. Great service, excellent quality of paper and it really transforms the room. The eves are very low so the space was not utilised so making a feature with the wallpaper has created a cosy space to relax in. Thank you. M
Love this wallpaper. It’s just enough to show a statement but not so loud that it overpowers the space. Being able to pick the color is such a great thing also. You’re not stuck with 5 options so it can match your style and colors of your space. Would recommend to anyone looking for wallpaper. Very happy and my installer said its super easy to install this pattern.
This wallpaper is thick and sturdy. It’s very easy to work with and easy to apply. It was my first time hanging wallpaper and this paper was very forgiving. Great product!
