Sofa colour trends: vibrant colours are on the rise, but neutrals are not going anywhere

Grey has been the most searched sofa colour in the UK for three years in a row.

Mark Reynolds, Retail Buyer - Furniture Village commented: "This shows that consumers are still opting for neutral large furnishings, which they can then bring to life with accessories".

Green sofas were the 2nd most searched colour and have seen a 22% increase in interest since 2020.

As Mark Reynolds points out, "The colour green is having its moment within interiors this year, not just in sofa colours, but throughout the home. From forest hues to softer muted tones."
