50 Shades of Grey: Which hue are you?

Made.com - It's not just the literary world that's fallen for all things grey. Whatever the shade, grey has an understated elegance that we just can't get enough of.

From the book charts to the catwalks, grey is back on top. Edgier than beige, cooler than taupe, grey furniture is a great way to enhance your living areas without overpowering your existing look.

Spice it up with colourful accessories for a fresh colour pairing, or use it to lighten a darker room. From persian to slate to anthracite, there's sure to be a shade for you.

Bring a little Victorian drawing-room romance to your home with the Flynn 3 Seater Sofa. Here classic button detailing is made modern by deliciously tactile cotton-linen mix fabric in a fresh Persian Grey. With contrasting dark wood feet and vintage bronze studs for a contemporary take on heritage glamour. The perfect finishing touch for a bright airy living room. Alternatively, a sofa in this hue is ideal for offsetting a dark feature wall.

Retro lovers will adore the Kubrick Wing Back Chair in Anthracite Grey. In a darker shade, it’s a subtle, complex alternative to black.  Built for the brooding Christian in your life with its dramatic styling and colour. Curl up in its super comfy clutches to read your favourite book or watch the latest rom-com.

The great thing about grey is that it goes with almost everything, so there’s no need to worry about it clashing with your existing colour schemes. Bring out the best of this shade with a bright scatter cushion or pair with an eclectic mix of furniture for true retro styling.

For those still sceptical, the Jonah Double Bed in Warm Grey has a hint of pink for a more feminine colour option. Its cute curves, linen mix fabric and birch legs keep it feeling fresh without taking over the style of your bedroom.

If you like a little more passion, team with the matching upholstered bench in berry red for a pop of colour. Style with white bedding for a natural soothing look or go crazy with patterns and colours.
