As a major anchor of any living room arrangement, a sofa can define your decorative possibilities – it's crucial to select a sofa that can adapt to your decor as it changes over time. Gray sofas are a popular choice for this reason. It's hard to go wrong with a neutral! What colors go with gray sofa designs? It depends on the undertones. Warmer greys are a friend to oranges, yellows, reds, and wood tones. Cooler greys are perfect for blues, purples, greens, etc. True neutral greys can flatter the spectrum.
