For those who wondered if bringing gray into their homes would be a folly, this will come as a great relief.

For long, it has been white and beige couches that have dominated the living room landscape. But the last few years have seen homeowners move away from more of the same and towards gray sofas. The gray sofa can be far more versatile than the traditional white or cream couch. It can act as a statement piece in a room that is white or can blend into the backdrop and disappear entirely! A lot depends on the shade of gray you choose and the style of the living room itself. With that in mind, this is a look at the 25 best gray sofa ideas; ample inspiration for everyone looking to buy a new couch this Holiday Season –

Coupled with Color

We start off with living rooms where homeowners chose to do much more than paint a picture just with the neutrals. Bright and beautiful colors have been added to the living room spectrum and this has been done while keeping the gray sofa constant and at the heart of it all. A large gray sofa in darker tones can beautifully anchor the living space while the white or light gray backdrop would allow you to introduce vivacious accent additions. This can come in the form of fiery red pillows, yellow club chairs, a second smaller couch in blue or even lamp shades in green and pops of orange! Pretty much every color works well with the versatile gray couch.

Defining Style, Space and Finishes

Once you have decided on the fact that you want a gray sofa for the living room and also picked the tentative shade you prefer, it is time to think about the functional aspects. A large sectional will perfectly utilize the forgotten corner of the small living room or can create a room-within-a-room by delineating space in an open plan setting. The fold-out gray couch is perfect for those who want to occasionally use the living space as guest room while a couch with velvet finish oozes opulence with ease. More than the color, it is the style and finish of the gray sofa that allows it to blend in with the style of your own living room.
