Why are grey sofas so popular?

Grey is the easiest colour to live with. It pairs with almost any wall, floor and accent colour, suits modern and traditional rooms alike, and hides everyday wear better than pale neutrals while keeping a room lighter than black. It's the safe, versatile choice — which is why it's the UK's most popular sofa colour.

What shade of grey should I choose?

Light grey suits small or low-light rooms and keeps a space feeling open. Mid grey is the safest all-round choice and works in almost any room. Charcoal grounds a room and is the most forgiving for daily wear, but works best in rooms with good natural light. Order free swatches if you're unsure — call us on 02476 705 600.

Do grey sofas show marks and stains?

Mid and charcoal greys hide everyday marks well. Lighter greys show marks a little more, like any pale colour. In fabric, a tight weave is the most forgiving; in leather or Leather Aire, spills and marks wipe away in seconds.

What colours go with a grey sofa?

Almost anything. Warm accents — mustard, blush, terracotta, brass — add warmth; cool tones — navy, teal, white, chrome — keep it contemporary. Add colour through cushions, throws and rugs, and you can restyle the room without replacing the sofa.

What is the best material for a grey sofa?

Grey fabric (chenille or weave) is the most popular for a soft, warm, family-friendly sofa. Grey leather or Leather Aire is the most practical and wipe-clean, ideal for pets and young children. Velvet suits statement or lower-traffic rooms.
