When considering the colour scheme in your living room, grey can be an attractive choice. It might not seem like the most exciting option, but it’s a colour that’s taken the design world by storm. When done right, grey living rooms can look effortlessly sophisticated and provide you with an incredible palette in which to add pops of brighter, bolder tones.
The living room is the heart of the home and somewhere that you’ll likely want to look both stylish for guests yet cosy for everyday use. From choosing the right shade of grey for your space to applying it successfully to your walls and furnishings, explore this versatile colour with our grey living room inspiration below.
Grey is a colour that suits both small and large spaces. When it comes to deciding on a specific shade for your living room, Neville Johnson boasts a plethora of options.
Softer grey tones evoke a comforting vibe and are perfect if you want your space to be a haven for relaxation. If you want to make a statement, experiment with some dark grey living room ideas. You can balance out a more dramatic aesthetic with bright accessories and furnishings. Consider bold shades, multi-coloured artwork or a concrete-finish cabinet from our Modern Grey Lounge collection.
One of the easiest ways to inject softer tones of this universally-popular shade into your living room is painting the walls. Light grey living room walls can look very effective, and it’s even possible to add depth by using several different shades simultaneously.
Layer up your grey tones to create an elegantly coordinated look. Paint walls one shade, choose a sofa in another and add a few finishing touches, such as dark grey picture frames or a grey mirror.
Grey also pairs well with various neutral tones, whether cream and taupe or black and white. Love a bit of colour? Yellow, navy and emerald green are all ideal options.
If you’re worried that a light grey living room will look cold, that really is a misconception. With some carefully chosen furnishings, a few pops of colour and some soft textures, it’s easy to create a cosy oasis that you’ll want to spend all your time in.
An inviting sofa in a complementary jewel tone will instantly make your space seem more attractive. Top it off with cushions and throws, or invest in a luxurious velvet pouffe. You could also introduce warm colours, from dusky pink to burnt orange, through your curtains, shelving or even with a patterned rug.
If you’re still stuck on exactly how to incorporate this timeless colour into your home, consider one of the following grey living room ideas.

From the moment the brochure was delivered, I was optimistic that we were buying quality. I wasn’t disappointed. All contact made was courteous, polite and clear, with phone calls confirmed by email. In short, we’re really thrilled with our library and it was effortless from start to finish.
Alison Cole, Swinton
I cannot recommend this company enough. From first contact we received very high quality service. We were informed as to everything that was going on, which was backed up by the necessary paperwork, plans and phone calls. The fitter was competent and the work he did we can’t fault.
Mrs K Holroyd, Wrexham
A real easy process, I would really recommend Neville Johnson to anyone. From the first phone call through to a very skilled fitter (who had to go above and beyond with our old house not having one straight line in it) it was all so easy. We couldn’t be happier that we chose to use Neville Johnson.
Richard Smith, Surrey
From contacting the company to the point where the cupboards were fitted I was impressed by the whole process. The initial salesperson that visited was knowledgeable and helpful. I would certainly use Neville Johnson again and highly recommend this company.
Mrs S. D, Lincolnshire
Our new staircase looks fantastic. We’ve had lots of compliments and it has transformed our hallway. The whole experience was great from beginning to end, from discussing our requirements to the finished article.
Mr & Mrs Begbie, Hampshire
From our initial enquiry to the completion of our staircase, we have found all the members of the team at Neville Johnson to be very helpful, courteous and professional in all our dealings. The staircase has transformed our living space. We have been very impressed with this company from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Pauline Treston, Northumberland
From the outset of our contract with Neville Johnson, we were supported with design choices, given expert advice and all deadlines were met. Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. The craftsmanship is superb; our staircase is now an outstanding feature of our open plan lounge.
Judith Scorer, Stockport
From the initial meeting with the senior designer to discuss our needs, to the surveyor and then the installer, we were extremely delighted with the end result. The installation process went without any problems. All the staff were very professional and we would recommend Neville Johnson without hesitation.
Rosalind Tunnicliffe, Solihull
From the initial contact with the company to the completion and installation everything was utterly professional; we have no hesitation in recommending the company to anybody. We are so pleased, that Neville Johnson is returning to install a new staircase!
Mr and Mrs Thorpe, Radcliffe
The room is transformed and has been hugely admired by family and friends. I was pleasantly surprised by the attentive and courteous client care – everything went according to plan and nothing seemed too much trouble. They were in regular contact before and after the installation. I would highly recommend Neville Johnson to anyone wanting to transform a room.
