Sofas are the centre of our worlds. From late night half-asleep film watching to passing a cup of tea and a few biscuits to a long missed friend, we spend a lot of time on our sofas, so they should be little islands of love and harmony in our homes.

If you’re looking for a new sofa, or if you’ve just bought a blue velvet sofa for your living room, here are some of the best tips and tricks for styling it into your own front room oasis.

Life isn’t always black and white. There’s plenty of grey in between. Which is why it’s the perfect colour to design your living room around. But, if you choose it as your main hue, you might be left wondering what colours go with a grey sofa?

Grey is such a popular colour for home decorating. But with so many homes coming readily installed with beige carpets and cream coloured walls, a lot of people are dubious about putting grey and beige together.

Both colours are on the neutral spectrum, but since grey is often deemed a colder colour, while beige is a warmer tone, the two feel like opposites that don’t quite match.

So, do grey and beige go together?

Not everyone will think so. But with a little planning, there are plenty of ways to blend the two, or to create an intentional clash.
