So, I’m Joe, and I’m here to tell you a little story about my own personal struggle with finding the perfect sofa color to match my grey walls.

It all started when I moved into my new apartment. I had just painted the walls a beautiful shade of grey, and I was feeling pretty good about myself, like I had just won the interior design lottery or something.

But then came the hard part: picking out a sofa. I spent hours at furniture stores, staring at swatches, and trying to envision what each color would look like in my living room.

It was like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. I was starting to feel like the grey walls were cursed, and that I would never find a sofa that would match them.

But then it happened. I found the perfect sofa, in the perfect color, and it was like the heavens opened up and angels sang.

I was so excited, I practically skipped out of the store. I couldn’t wait to get it home and see how it looked in my living room. But when I got home, I realized something…

My Sofa Wasn’t The Only Thing That Was The Wrong Color

It turns out that my walls weren’t actually grey. They were more of a “greige” (a mixture of grey and beige) and my new sofa was more of a “beigey grey” (a mixture of beige and grey).

So, my sofa didn’t match my walls at all. It was like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

So, I’m here to tell you, don’t make the same mistake I did. Don’t just assume that because your walls are grey, that any old grey sofa will match.

There are countless shades of grey, and you need to find the one that will complement your walls, not clash with them.

What Colors Go With Grey Walls?

First things first, let’s talk about the undertones of your grey walls. Are they cool or warm? Cool greys have a blue undertone, while warm greys have a beige or brown undertone.

Once you’ve determined the undertone of your walls, you can narrow down your sofa options.

Cool Grey Walls

If your walls have a cool undertone, you’ll want to look for sofas in shades of:

• Navy
• Plum
• Teal

Warm Grey Walls

If your walls have a warm undertone, you’ll want to look for sofas in shades of:

• Mustard
• Rust
• Olive

The Great Debate: Matchy Matchy or Contrast?

So now that you know what colors will complement your grey walls, it’s time to decide whether you want to go matchy-matchy or contrasty-contrasty.

Matchy Matchy

If you’re a fan of the matchy-matchy look, you’ll want to find a sofa that is a similar shade to your walls. This will create a cohesive look in your living room, and will make your space feel more calming and relaxing.

Contrasty Contrasty

On the other hand, if you’re feeling bold and daring, you can go for a contrasting sofa color. This will create a statement piece in your living room, and will make your space feel more vibrant and exciting.
