Grey Sofa Covers
If you want a grey sofa, but don’t want to spend a fortune for buying a new one – here is a perfect solution – a grey sofa cover. You can match a cover with many different Ikea and pottery barn couches. A wide variety of shades of grey allow you to match the cover to the whole interior design. What’s more – you can create more complementary look using covers on all your furniture. Ikea Armchair Covers and Ikea Footstool Covers will do a great job!
Color schemes that perfectly complement a light or dark grey sofa
1. Neutral tones for a balanced look
Neutral shades like white, beige and cream work beautifully with grey sofas. These shades create a calming, sophisticated atmosphere and work particularly well if you have a sofa cover in a grey shade with a grey rug.
2. Bold colors for contrast
For a more bold effect, pair grey with bold hues like mustard yellow, teal blue, green or burgundy. These accent colors pop against a dark grey sofa cover or a graphite grey sofa cover, adding a pop of energy to the room.
3. Pastels for soft elegance
Light grey sofas shine when combined with pastel shades like blush pink, mint green, or baby blue. These delicate tones create a serene, inviting living space.
4. Monochromatic magic
Using various shades of grey, from light to dark, can result in a chic monochromatic look. Add some texture with rugs and throws to break any monotony and add a fresh accent.
