GREY SOFA LIVING ROOM IDEAS INSPIRATION

Grey is by far the most chosen colour when it comes to sofas in the UK. It’s neutral and capable of blending in with just any theme or décor. It is classy and understated. Lastly, a grey sofa is future-proof in terms of all the furniture you can add around, without having to worry about whether new furniture will clash with your sofa’s colour tone. Below, we have presented 5 grey sofa living room ideas for your inspiration. Whether you already have a grey sofa or want to pick up one of our gorgeous grey beauties here at Abakus Direct, we hope these ideas help you with your visualization.

THE FERGUSON GREY CORNER SOFA IN A SUNLIT LIVING ROOM

Featured here is the dark grey Ferguson corner sofa with scatter back cushions. Choice of grey upholstery is a soft and textured cord chenille fabric. With chenille being an iridescent fabric, light on this sofa can have different playful tones at different times of the day. In the inspiration picture shared above, you see it set adjacent to tall panel windows basked in glorious sunlight. The garden in the background with its bursts of green provide a balanced relief to the somber emotion provided by the sofa.

An earthy distressed rug again provides relief just below the sofa’s grey presence, highlighting the expanse of an inviting and comfortable space. A lone light mustard throw pillow and matching throw provide a dash of offsetting colour, while also serving as functional accessories for when you want to curl or snuggle up on this very comfortable sofa.

A creative and abstractly styled lamp and side table make for great accompaniments. Choice of wall art on this occasion is a bit mundane, with predominantly grey and heavy blacks being used again. Wall art pieces with a lighter or more delicate colour would have been a good choice here.

With a width and depth of 200 cm, the sofa is neither too small nor too big. A footprint just enough to add some class and style into your living space.

JUMBO CORD GREY 3 SEATER SOFA PLACED ON A PAIR OF CONTRASTING RUGS

Seen here is a fabulous 3 seater jumbo cord sofa in a dark grey, again placed in a sunlit living room. A great choice for a small living room or conservatory. The designer has immediately offset the grey by placing it asymmetrically on two contrasting rugs, to break up what can otherwise be a heavy flow of grey. A contemporary and very designer spotlight lamp will accentuate the rugs and take away from the heaviness of the dark grey cord chenille upholstery.

A large distressed brick wall inspired piece of wall art provides relief behind the sofa on the right side, while a vibrant fern plant breaks up the space on the left. Black side tables are made out of wireframe style construction. You can probably switch this up with a more traditional side table made out of a blonde wood.

DARCY LIGHT GREY CORNER SOFA WITH PASTEL RUG

Shown here is the Darcy in a light grey, one of the best-selling corner sofas at Abakus Direct. The setting here shows how to smartly take full advantage of a corner sofa’s space saving ability, even in a room with an odd layout. With the living room breaking out into two entrances or exits, it would have been hard to place a sofa set or even an accompanying armchair for that matter, without crowding up the space.

Instead, the light grey corner sofa’s chaise end is placed against the wall, using the length of the sofa to cordon off what will be the secondary section of the living room.

The light grey fabric is an excellent choice of upholstery shade here, for it keeps the space open and inviting. Anything darker and it would have been a challenge to maintain the flow of the living room. A very stylish wall mounted lamp on an adjustable arm provides flexible lighting that can be used to set a mood or to provide very functional lighting.

A bookshelf and wall art that complement the sofa with paired colours help take advantage of the room’s sunlit interior. Choice of rug is excellent here. It’s an ocean blue area rug strategically placed to provide a pleasing aesthetic effect, while also giving you something soft to rest your feet on, when you take off your slippers or shoes while resting on the sofa.

GREY NAPOLI CORNER SOFA FOR SMALL LIVING ROOMS

Need grey sofa living room ideas for a small apartment. That’s exactly what has been used here. Featured here is the Napoli, a corner sofa that sells for less than £300. Despite a modest price tag, it features a very comfortable sofa with 5 scatter back cushions and a chaise lounge.

Choice of grey upholstery is a very natural linen fabric. With the grey being on the darker side, the designer has offset it with a bright and cheerful area rug that features patterns of turquoise blue balanced with white and an underlying darker shade of blue.

Colour relief around the dark grey corner sofa is also provided by an elegant designer lamp that casts the spotlight both at one end of the sofa as well as a minimal wall mount featuring small plants and wall art. A potted shrub on the right side of the sofa offsets the whole setting, taking advantage of the limited throw of sunlight, a problem that typically plagues small studio apartments or flats.

DARK GREY JUMBO CORD CORNER SOFA WITH LIGHT BROWN WALLS

Featured here is a sofa from our Jumbo Cord collection again. This time, we have an expansive corner sofa, perfect for medium to large size living rooms. The heavy grey has been beautifully balanced out by several elements such as an umbrella lamp in white and an abstract piece of modern art with a light pastel shade. The light brown walls that alternate with off-white walls provide a nice canvas for the sofa to take center stage in your living room.

A subtle Arabian inspired area rug nests both the sofa and a designer side table that features brightly colored ornamental items.
