Some may think that the grey sofa has had its time – however there are ways that we can revamp our décor. In fact, a grey sofa has more decorating potential than any other furniture piece in your home. Think of a grey sofa as a blank canvas with an infinite number of decor combinations possible.

In fact, grey sofas may be the best option for a home boasting any design style as they pair well with all kinds of colour schemes and are timeless and much easier to keep clean than an all-white sofa.

Some of the best ways to style a gray sofa is the use of..

1.       PILLOWS

The first step in decorating your couch should always be with pillows. And with a grey couch, I’d recommend one layer of high-sheen pillows and another layer of pillows with a more matte fabric.

Go for high-sheen pillows that echo colours found elsewhere in the room. You can also add a statement-making central pillow to work as a focal point.

2.       THROWS

When warmer seasons come, go for thin and fine-knit patterned and printed throw blankets to revive spirits and energize a room. And when the weather gets cold out, pile on plus comforting throws to keep yourself warm and cozy.

Inexpensive throw blankets can be swapped out easily as seasons and trends change so try out unexpected combinations and see what sticks. Pick a colour or material that contrasts against the fabric of your sofa.

3.       COFFEE TABLE

With any interior design scheme, it’s important to consider the shape and contour of your furniture pieces. So, if you have a square sofa, consider a coffee table with a bit of curve, to add depth.

4.       UNEXPECTED COLOUR

Add a sense of the unexpected by bringing in indulgent pops of colour in even the smallest of doses. This is also useful when you want to have a quick change of colour scheme – or decorate according to the seasons.

5.       AREA RUG

Area rugs are a great way to add some needed texture or pattern in your space. And to keep your space feeling cohesive, source an area rug that incorporates colours found elsewhere in your design scheme.
