Thus, gray is a color that has an incredibly wide range of shades. This is a significant advantage over colored furniture fabrics, which will allow you to combine such furniture with any interior, of course, adhering to the rules of the color composition.

However, you should be careful when choosing sofas in dark shades of gray. Inappropriate use of room lighting and the use of incorrect color compositions can create an undesirable "cold" atmosphere, unless of course this is the idea of ​​the author of the design.

Basic rules of combination

The atmosphere of tranquility and relaxation in the room will be enhanced by the addition of beige and white tones to the rest of the furniture. Wall decoration is of great importance - it should be in neutral colors. It is also worth remembering some more rules for combining shades:

• Combining gray with blue or purple colors will create a cool palette. However, in this case we are talking only about light shades;
• lovers of bright colors should also not forget about the dullness in the room. A sofa in this shade is perfect for other warm colored furniture (red, pink and orange). Moreover, this piece of furniture will only emphasize the colors of the surrounding elements, and will not attract all the attention to itself;
• goes well with green shades, whose softness only complements the gray;
• purple and lilac are very complex in combination with other tones, but this rule does not apply to dark gray;
• yellow will dilute the grayness or vice versa - thus the brightness of yellow will become less distinct, creating the necessary level of comfort. When choosing a gray sofa in the interior of yellow shades, you should adhere to an elementary rule - the more intense the yellow, the darker the gray should be;
• beige is one of the most delicate, delicate and calm options to combine with a light gray sofa. Pastel shades such as pale pink, light blue and light yellow also have a soothing effect. They also fit perfectly into the composition with gray. The design of the room, including such tones, will visually expand the space and increase the volume of the room;
• be careful when using white in combination with a gray sofa. This piece of furniture should be light, so as not to create a sharp color contrast, but only to mark a smooth transition;
• to combine a gray sofa with red interior elements, you must be careful about the second. An overabundance of scarlet color can add aggressiveness to the room, which in no way will add friendliness to it.

Multi-colored pillows will look great on a gray sofa.

When choosing them, you should adhere to the above rules for combining colors. The geometry of the pillows can be completely different, however, it should emphasize the overall style of the room, and their range should not go beyond the overall design concept of the room.

Selection rules

When choosing a sofa, you should be guided by generally accepted selection rules and pay attention to the build quality and finishing material... When choosing a gray product, you should definitely follow the rules for combining its shade with the color palette of the room.
