Today, the gray sofa is very popular in interior design.

A gray sofa will perfectly get along with the restrained color scheme of such an interior style as an Alpine chalet, which does not tolerate thick and bright colors - blue, red and orange, as well as small and bright details. It is based on three colors - cream, white and dull (almost white) blue. The walls and ceiling are covered with wood, for example, unpainted "knotty" clapboard, and the interior is filled with upholstered furniture with shaggy blankets, rugs and pillows. The lighting should be warm and not bright. The decor should create an atmosphere of coziness, in the creation of which the gray sofa will play a key role.
