Unsurprisingly, grey topped the list as the most sought-after sofa colour for 2023. "Grey is likely a slightly more popular sofa colour choice as it's the most versatile of all the neutral colours," says Ben White, design and trade expert at Swyft Home.
In 2022 we want to bring the outside in, and both bold and subdued colors will have a moment in 2022, as long as they're earthy shades. The colors of the beach, like light blues, soft grays, and other stone colors, as well as soft pinks and oranges from the terracotta family will dominate the pastel range.
If you want timeless furniture, go for a timeless color. Yes, a color! A blue, yellow, or black sofa will be a lot more timeless than the popular gray. The gray sofas of today are just the brown leather sofas of 10 years ago.
The most popular living room color is green—particularly greens inspired by the colors of nature. Designers love it because it is a soothing color that pairs well with soft neutrals, crisp whites, and a bevy of earthy greys, browns, and blues. What's the best furniture color for living rooms?

Pantone's Very Peri
Pantone's 2022 Color of the Year is making history with its best reveal yet: an entirely new hue created, for the first time ever, to serve as Color of the Year. They call it Very Peri (17-3938).
The sofa color that will work in pretty much any style sofa with almost any color palette is beige. With cooler beiges and warmer beiges available there's a beige for every space.
A sofa that matches the wall colour will make your room look larger. Neutral colours like beige, white, cream, taupe or grey are always safe choices. If your flooring is very dark, and you choose a sofa colour that's also dark, it might seem to disappear into the space.
“Heading into 2023, we're really into darker and dramatic shades, such as deep charcoals and browns. These tones are not only elegant and upscale when complemented with tonal furnishings and accessories, but they bring a warm and comfortable feel to the space.”
Cerulean blue, fiery red, mint green and imperial yellow are the lucky colours for 2022. These colours are derived from the four elements of Feng Shui — wood (primary element of the tiger), water (element of the year 2022), fire, earth and the Yang polarity.
White and off-white are the most popular colors for painted furniture. Red comes in second.
For many, a neutral color, like a soft white sofa or a gray sofa, makes the most sense. Particularly if you have a complicated color palette, a neutral sofa is most likely to fit the best. You might also consider a darker neutral, like a dark gray, black, or brown for your living space to offset high traffic and dirt.
For furniture design trends in 2022, look for curves, texture, and comfort. You'll see lots of curved chairs, sofas with gently sloping arms, and round poufs in velvet, linen, and nubby boucle fabrics. In addition to natural wood tones and vintage pieces, we'll also see a return of black accent pieces.
So, what colors make a room look bigger? For an optimum effect, go with soft tones like off-white, blues, and greens, and always remember that brighter rooms feel bigger and more inviting. And here's another hack: Try painting your wall trim and moldings in a lighter color than your walls.
Sometimes, dark walls can close in the room, especially if there isn't enough lighting, so adding a dark sofa might make the room look a bit gloomy. Neutral coloured walls go well with dark sofas, as the sofa will stand out against the walls.
Decorating and paint trends for 2023 are looking like they are split into two camps - going bold and bright, or keeping things neutral. When it comes to bold colour, it's all about luxe greens, inky blues, berry reds and burnt oranges, giving rooms a touch of drama alongside warmth and cosiness.
Is white and gray out of style? Experts agree that this color pairing will no longer dominate trends in 2023. It's hard to believe we could ever see the total end of gray and white – the two (seemingly timeless) tones that have been at the forefront of our decorating agendas for decades.
Sectional Sofa
Sectional sofas are one of the most popular sofa styles. Sectionals are made of multiple independent pieces and can often be arranged in different configurations, making them easy to fit into different room layouts and optimize your space as much as possible.
Here's the good news: Unlike some interior design trends, brown will be in “forever,” Sikes says. Concludes Colding: “It is one of those colors that will always be back.
