Cushions for a Dark Grey Sofa

What colour cushions go with dark grey sofas?

The best colour cushions for a dark grey sofa include; warm neutral solids in beige, taupe, or cream, different shades of light blue and light pink, and bold jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, or amethyst purple.

It’s best to avoid black cushions when styling a dark grey sofa. Even though they are both neutral colours that can work together, when combined on seating, black can create a heavy look that can overwhelm a room. Here are our recommended colour cushions for dark grey couches and sofas.

Use warm neutral cushions on dark grey sofas for an inviting feel
Beautiful designs in slightly warm shades of beige, taupe, and cream can help create a cosy and inviting feel to a room when used on a dark grey sofa.

The aim here is to keep it simple by using cushion covers in these three analogous solid colours. You can make use of differences in fabric and size to also create visual interest.

Vary the shades to fit with other elements inside your room and experiment with different arrangements. The result is a subtle, yet luxe look that breathes life into the dark grey.

Try light blue and pink cushions on dark grey sofas for a calming vibe
Dark grey sofas love light blue and light pink cushions because they are complementary colours on the colour wheel and create a striking visual effect when paired together.

Soft shades of blue can create a calming and serene ambience when used in cushions on dark grey sofas. This combination works especially well if you want to create a beachy or coastal look.

Soft pink colours add warmth to a dark grey sofa and help balance out the heaviness of charcoal to create a style that is fresh and delicate.

Use bold jewel-tone cushions on dark grey sofas for a striking look
Emerald green, sapphire blue, or amethyst purple are beautiful colours to use in cushions for a dark grey sofa. These bold jewel tones can add a striking and luxurious element to your living space.

Being highly saturated colours, they have a deep, rich hue that contrasts strongly against the dark grey producing a dramatic and eye-catching effect.

Turn up the opulence by using a combination of velvet cushions in these colours if you want to create a rich and sophisticated atmosphere in your living room.
