No matter your style, there are so many ways to decorate any living room with a Grey Sofa. 

Grey sofas have been all the rage for a while, and being in the furnishings industry, we can let you know that’s not going to change any time soon. 

We’ve heard from some of our customers that they have wondered which colours they should pick for decorating their living room when they have a Grey Sofa. With this being the case, we thought we’d better share some of what we’ve learned about which colour schemes look best with grey so that you have some decorating ideas for your home. 

Some people feel that they can only go with various shades of grey wallpaper and carpet, but that’s certainly not true - a grey sofa opens all kinds of doors when it comes to colour. You can be very bold with colour, or if that’s not for you, you can go with something far more muted, such as white or dusty pink.

Adding teal accents to a room with a grey sofa gives a living room that glam and modern look. Friends and family will look to you for your design advice if you get this right.

If the feminine is your thing, team grey with dusty pink to get a warm and inviting look. Add a few matching accessories to bring out the warmth.  

• Orange 

If you’re a fan of bold colours, something is so compelling about orange cushions on a grey sofa. The contrast is explosive and memorable. You can work out from the pillows by adding other accent pieces. This is going to look particularly good in an office environment or a more contemporary home.

• Lime green

Throw on a few scatter cushions and add a few accents to the room, and lime with your grey sofa will be a natural winning combination. Clean and fresh, lime goes very well with grey. 

• White

White and grey is a gorgeous combination reminiscent of Scandinavia, and it’s going to look good in any room. This is a colour scheme that you can use as the foundation and build up by adding other colours over time.

• Bright red

 Bright red with grey is a classic. Add a little texture with a few different fabrics and accessories, and you’ll be creating a room with a fabulous colour design that is cosy and warm.
