I have no idea how to pull a room together and need help! We have grey sofas and grey and white cushions and a white mantlepiece. Sort of scandi ish look but all a bit messy. The room is west facing and is Victorian with high ceilings etc. Any ideas?? Thanks

Thanks for all these brilliant suggestions. Am going to look up all those colours and start getting tester pots. I think a pale colour i.e. Blush or lilac grey and then more colour with accessories might work

I have a very similar room to you, high ceilings, white fireplace, west facing. I got new charcoal grey sofas just before Christmas and have painted the walls in F&B's All White. I originally planned to have an accent colour for a rug, curtains etc but instead have stuck with a monochrome colour scheme and I love it. I do have a bit of blush pink on the cushions and will eventually have some colour in the artwork (when I find it).

Yep, anything goes with grey. We have Gunmetal grey sofas, green cushions, 3 walls are a light/sage green colour (French Vine from b&q), and the other walls (it's a funny shaped room) are painted in dulux almond white. Looks lovely. Our living room doesn't get much natural light so we had to go with light colours otherwise it would have looked dingy.

I have grey sofas and a grey feature wall so i have deep purple acessories i think they go really well together.

I used Dulux Almost Oyster Matt , goes beautifully with our grey sofa.

Virtually anything goes with grey so you've picked a good base colour there!

I have light grey sofas, light grey walls and duck egg curtains, cushions etc. It works really well. I'm debating adding a few burnt orange bits in as well but haven't decided yet

Hmmm, with that sofa I'm wondering about Dulux Dusted Moss? It comes in different strengths, and is a beautiful pearly grey with just a hint of green. You could then accessorise with either dusky pink and gold, or teal and mustard, or plum and charcoal.

You want dusky pal colours, duck egg, lilac etc.

But you should also consider jewel colours, deep ones, aubergine, dark turquoise and those sorts of colours.

Definitely a pale dusky blush. Almost a bit like dried plaster.

If you want a lilac grey I used dulux potters clay...I can't remember if it was 2 or 3. It didn't work for me as I wanted a colder grey but it might be one to work for you. And when I say doesn't work...I was initially disappointed it wasn't more grey and has in fact grown on me!

We have Natural Hessian (Dulux) next to doors which are a kind of pale french grey. Kind of warm coordinating neutrals feel. It went on lovely as well.

We have F&B Churlish Green - which I love for the name alone. Quite a strong colour so not one for the whole room, but sofa looks great against it and we have F&B Purbeck Stone on the facing wall which is a gorgeous grey. Love F&B as the colours really seem to change according the light.

This is the sofa we have from Bemz so it is quite light. I am realising reading these threads that I probably do need to match things more to pull it all together. I like the idea of neutral walls too and maybe I need to add colour with the blinds and cushions. I do like the grey and white cushions though. No idea why I find living rooms so tricky!

Jealous of all the lovely grey sofas.
I've recently just bought a dark brown, leather and child proof sofa.

Anyway, I'd go for duck
egg and some yellow and duck egg cushions.

It's part of the suite, 3seater with chaise at one end and a big chair. From SofaWorld (I think, slept since then Wink)

I need to know too. I am absolutely rubbish at this sort of thing. Mine are a very dark charcoal grey from IKEA.

Blush pink and sand pink (slightly warmer/more coral but still light) goes really well with most greys.
