What Colour Sofa Goes With Grey Carpets - Neutrals

There's nothing wrong with keeping your sofa in the same colour family as your flooring, and this can create a harmonious look.

Go Lighter

Going for a darker rug or carpet and lighter sofa like in these 2 examples helps add light and height to the room, especially when paired with lighter walls.

Go Darker

By making your sofa a darker shade of grey than your rug or carpet, you add depth and dimension to a room. When the walls are also lighter, like in the 1st example, the room still feels airy and the sofa really stands out. However, When the walls and the sofa are both darker, like in the 2nd example, it can create a luxurious sophisticated feel, with the lighter floor adding width to the room.

Match It - All Dark Or All Light

Mono rooms are chic and striking. You could match the shade of your sofa to the shade of your rugs and contrast it with the walls and flooring to make it all really stand out.

What Colour Sofa Goes With Grey Carpets - Colours

You can really add some character to your room with a coloured sofa. Rich, sumptuous fabrics in gorgeous jewel tones are really in right now, and that looks set to stay, but your choice of colour can influence the overall feel of the room.

Go Warmer

Buy this rug and this sofa.

Add warmth to your room by choosing reds, oranges and pink sofas to sit with your grey rugs or carpets. Bolder colours coupled with luxurious velvet fabrics will be on-trend and sumptuous, while softer and more gentle shades will create a calmer environment (note: dusky pinks complement grey really well!).

Go Cooler

And this sofa, too.

Cool colours such as greens and blues are calming and reflect shades we see in the natural world. These are colours that anchor, meaning that can really tie a room together and draw the eye. They also look fabulous when coupled with gold accessories to give a real feeling of royalty.
