Help! DFS Zinc sofa - grey or charcoal?

[ginger09]

Just ordered a 3 seaters in charcoal, but not sure whether I should change it for grey, which seems more popular! Has anyone seen the both colours in real? Their stores are obviously closed now, and it's so difficult to solely rely on the screen. Help!

This is our living room. The sofa will be placed against the wall on the opposite side, which is plain white!

Wow that’s a stunning room! What did you decide?

I would go for charcoal.

Old post!!

@peachypetite Thanks! We went for grey in the end, but still waiting for the delivery 🙈🙈

@namechange12a Don't tell me that because I ended up ordering a grey!! 😂 We are still waiting for the delivery tho. Hope we like the colour!

I’ve posted some sofa threads lately, this is now one of my contenders due to the dimensions fitting
I like the navy velvet and also the mink coloured one. What is the delivery lead time?

I'm biased because mine is grey and I thought the dark colour would be a nice contrast to the white wall. I'm sure grey is just as lovely though.

Mine is charcoal, not grey.

We have it in teal and looking at it honestly makes me so happy.

@GloriousTechnicolour I just got my teal one on Friday. I love it.

How long have you waited for delivery?

@peachypetite Ordered on 28 May and was supposed to wait for 12 weeks, meaning until late Augst, but just got a call this morning it will come tomorrow! yay!!

@namechange12a In fact we later painted the wall in dusty pink! Hope they go well together. Just got a call this morning the sofa is coming tomorrow yoohoo!!

I’m liking the sound of the dusky pink wall with it! Can we have pictures please when it’s here

I think the pink and grey sounds lovely. I second pictures.

Dusky pink sounds lovely. Great it didn’t take as long. So my living room is dark brown walnut floor, the tiniest hint of blush white paint on my walls. Can’t decide whether to get the velvet or more neutral mocha. I am pregnant and not sure how practical velvet is with young kids? The velvet is also more ££

@peachypetite @namechange12a There you go!!

I think that looks absolutely gorgeous. I bet you're over the moon. That pink is just lovely and those floors are divine. Great choice.

That is LOVELY

Grey will quickly go out of fashion in a couple of years and look dated. Just like the dark brown leather sofas people had. Go for a timeless, classic colour. Everything grey makes it look like your sat in a cave anyway ...cold, dull and damp depressing colour .

I'd go for neutral, mushroom, pumice timeless and dateless. Brown leather sofas quickly came in and out of fashion before they looked dated , grey go quickly out and front doors, fences, walls , bathrooms everything people are going crazy with grey . Home furnishings , designers will be on thinking about the next in colour fashion , it's about profit making changes so people go out and buy things the new in colour. It's called profit and making the old look drab with grey will. Go classic and timeless colour. Xx

If you read the thread, the OP has already bought the sofa and there's a picture of it in situ. It looks lovely. Grey is a perfect neutral and I don't see how it will go out of fashion.

Grey definitely isn’t going anywhere! It looks lovely

@peachypetite Thanks I love it!! :) Talking about the velvet - I'm not an expert, but given my experience with a velvet chair we have in the living room, I love its look, super lovely, but I hate these pressure marks so much! Ours is just a £60 chair from Amazon though. Not sure good quality velvet would do any better? I personally wouldn't go for velvet if it's for your main sofa!
