Professional interior designers will tell you that if you’re looking to invest in a luxury sofa that will stay on trend for years to come, pick a grey one. Why? Well because grey is both classic and timeless, goes beautifully with any colour scheme, is easy to maintain and acts as the perfect blank canvas, allowing you the creative license to transform your living room into a masterpiece.
Our expert team have put together their hottest tips on how to style one flawlessly.
A light grey couch is an ideal choice, bringing cooler tones into your living space and giving your room a sophisticated aesthetic, making it easy to add layers of colour with some beautifully considered cushions. Here are some guidelines.

In the warmer months, embrace a summery vibe by finding thinner, patterned fabrics that will lift the room and make it vibrant. Then swap it out during winter for something with a deeper pile in a rich colour that reflects cosiness and warmth.
Using accessories like cushions and throws is a fantastic way to keep your sofa looking trendy, which will add to its longevity.
Grey has a way of bringing a level of refinement to any space and opens up the opportunity to include a variety of different textures that will highlight your interior.
This can be done with cushions and throws, but you can also include things like plush curtains and a gorgeous, tasselled rug. Think about fabrics like velvet, linen, corduroy and suede or bring in a woven carpet made from rustic sisal or jute.
Choose artwork and other accessories that will create unique points of interest throughout the room.
Luxury lighting is a key element in any room and has the potential to bring a touch of glamour to your space. So make sure you pick out at least one focal piece for the centre of your room that will draw in the eye and place attention on your main feature which is, of course, your couch.
For some extra sparkle, a pendant light or chandelier is a fabulous idea. Our designers are mad about this contemporary Ruby chandelier design by Eichholtz.
Coffee tables are a must-have in any elegant sitting room but take care to choose one that fits in with your design strategy and give some thought to their shape and contours.
If you have a rectangular sofa, adding a rounded coffee table will create a counterbalance and stop your space from looking formal and rigid, especially if it has a glass top and sculptural base. For some inspiration, have a look at the Hive coffee table collection by Naos.
In keeping with all the latest biophilic trends, plants have become a means of connecting with nature, purifying the air and adding a sense of wellness to the overall aesthetics of any living area.
Find a range of gorgeous indoor planters that will enhance your sofa and fill them with beautiful blooms or luscious leafy indoor trees – it’s a brilliant, cost-effective way to augment your décor.
A grey couch is one of the most iconic pieces of furniture you could choose for your living room, ticking all the boxes when it comes to colour integration and easy styling.
