Cushions for a Grey Sofa

What colour cushions go with grey sofas?

The best colour cushions for a grey sofa include; neutral tones like white, beige and cream, bright pops of colour such as vibrant pink, teal or yellow, earthy tones like brown, mustard, or rust, and soft pastels such as mint green, blush pink, and light blue.

It’s best to avoid too many tone-on-tone grey combinations in the same colour that lack any diversity as this can result in a look that feels flat, cold, and lifeless. Check out our suggested colour cushions for grey couches and sofas below or shop our full range here.

Use neutral cushions on grey sofas for a sophisticated look
Grey is a neutral colour, so using a simple collection of solid colours in other neutral tones, such as a lovely white, beige, or cream, can complement it nicely and create an elegant statement.

Neutral doesn’t have to mean boring! You can incorporate neutral patterned cushions, such as stripes or geometric designs, or use different shapes and sizes to add visual interest to your grey sofa.

To add some depth, try mixing neutrals in different textures. You can combine designs made of linen, cotton, velvet, or other materials to create a layered look.

Try bright colour cushions on grey sofas for a playful feel
When choosing cushions for your sofa, know that plain grey is the perfect backdrop for bold accent colours. Colours like bright pink, teal, or yellow are wonderful cushion colours for grey sofas and can make your living room feel more playful and inviting.

This approach is perfect for spaces lacking in colour and provides you with the opportunity to make your grey sofa a focal point in your room that represents your unique style.

Choose a colour palette with two to three bright colours (complementary or triad on the colour wheel) and look for designs with vibrant prints, patterns and textures for a fun and eclectic look. To balance it out, add some neutrals in a solid colour, such as white or beige, to break up the bright hues.

Use earthy colour cushions on grey sofas for warmth and cosiness
Styling a grey sofa with earthy colours such as brown, mustard, or rust, can create a warm and cosy look that is inviting to you and your guests.

For a classic and timeless look, you can mix designs in shades of beige and brown in fabrics like cotton and linen for a look that is both layered and textured.

Using mustard and some rust cushions on grey sofas will add a warm pop of colour. These rich earthy tones combine together beautifully on grey, and for added luxury try picking designs made in velvet.

Try pastel colour cushions on grey sofas for a relaxed atmosphere
Soft and subtle pastel shades, such as mint green, blush pink, and light blue, are wonderful colours to use in cushions for grey sofas.

Pair light pink cushions with a grey sofa to create a soft and endearing look. You can also add a white or cream throw blanket to complement the pastel pink cushions.

Add pastel blue cushions to a grey sofa for a calming look that can be built on with other shades of blue to create a monochromatic colour scheme that is stylish, but also tranquil and inviting.
