Grey matter - 5 grey velvet sofas to think about

Smoke, Slate, Ghost, Granite and of course our favourite, elephants breath. Evocative captions for the calmest of colours - Grey. 

Calm and cordial, grey provides the perfect neutral palette for our homes. That is not to say that grey does not offer depth - of all hues, few can match the diverse and greatly varied range that grey gives. From bright airy tones to dark, and moody resonance. Blues, greens, yellows even pinks - all eagerly embraced within greys great breadth of tranquillity.   

In an increasingly frenetic, raucous environment, grey can offer some solace. It’s little surprise, therefore, that so many of us are choosing to fill our homes with this greys serene saturation. 

Tantalisingly tactile, velvet oozes luxury and radiates colour from its shimmering, sleek surface with a lustre other materials simply cannot compete with. It’s unsurprising, therefore, that velvet sofas are increasingly becoming a mainstay in our homes. 

Exceedingly enticing, Velvet sofas will not only help a room to feel softer and more intimate, they also inject a real sense of glamour and allure. 

With a rich offering of velvet-swathed sofa families, we’ve picked out 5 of our best that will really sing in grey.
