Is grey a good color for a sofa?
Grey works well with other colors, such as shades of blue, green, yellow and pink, as well as other neutrals like black and white. A grey sofa will allow you to be flexible in the rest of your choices in a design scheme.
'There’s been some hate against 'millennial grey' interior spaces lately,' says Madison Adam, Interior Design Services Manager, Article. 'In my opinion, it’s not so much the color itself but how it contributes to the aesthetic of the space as whole.
'A grey sofa with grey accents and a grey rug creates a one-note room, almost like a movie in black and white. Grey is a neutral tone so consider it a blank canvas.
'A grey sofa can juxtapose a brightly colored accent chair, like rust or grass green, or bold prints and patterns in a rug or home decor item. So feel free to use it to get playful and ramp up the energy in the room.'
