Which shade of grey sofa is the most practical?
A mid grey such as pewter or a grey marl. It hides dust, small marks and most pet hair better than light grey or charcoal.
Does a grey sofa get dirty easily?
Mid greys hide everyday dust very well. Light grey shows tea, oil and food marks, and charcoal shows lint and light-coloured pet hair.
Is a grey sofa good for a north-facing room?
Yes, but choose a warm grey or pewter. North light is cool and makes blue-leaning greys look cold.
Does a grey sofa fade in the sun?
Dark greys can drift to a slightly brownish or purplish tone after long direct sun. Mid greys fade too but show it less. Sheer curtains help in west-facing rooms.
What colour floor goes with a grey sofa?
Wood and wood-look floors suit every grey. On white marble choose mid or dark grey, and on beige tiles choose a warm grey.
What colour cushions go with a grey sofa?
Mustard, rust, teal, blush and indigo are the most reliable. Pick one main accent and repeat it two or three times in the room.
Is charcoal or light grey better for a small room?
Light or mid grey usually works better in a small room, especially on raised legs. Charcoal suits larger rooms with good daylight.
Is a grey sofa good with pets?
Often yes. Choose a grey close to your pet coat colour and a tight weave rather than loops, so hair blends in and claws do not catch.
Can I see the grey fabric before ordering?
Yes. Ask for swatches and check them near a window in daylight and again under your evening lights before you confirm.
What is grey marl fabric?
Marl is woven from yarns of two tones twisted together, giving a flecked look. It hides dust and crumbs better than a flat single-colour weave.
Do you make grey recliners?
Yes. Grey is one of the main colours in our recliner range, in both fabric and leather, including wall-hugger designs.
Can I change the size of a grey sofa?
Yes. Every sofa is made to order, so length, depth and often the arm style can change. We confirm everything on a drawing before production.
