Little items like these will take your living space from a house to a home!
Most of us spend a lot of time in our lounges. It’s where we watch TV, spend time with our families and, increasingly, where a lot of us eat our dinner. All of this means we’re spending many hours a day sat in this pivotal room of the house. If this is such an important room, then surely we should spend that extra bit of time (and money!) making it look as good as possible.
How to achieve this is the next challenge but, luckily for you, we have the answers right here. Grey accessories will lift your lounge from average to stylish in no time. There’s bound to be a shade of grey that will compliment your lounge perfectly, no matter what its current colour scheme may be.
The best grey accessories for your lounge
1 of 6Penguin Home Cushion Covers (Set of 4, Grey)
What's a sofa without cushions? Probably uncomfortable! We've found this set of four grey cushion covers to make sure your lounge as inviting and cosy as possible. The consistent use of pale grey and white ties the set together seamlessly, despite each cover being a different design. The patterns appear to be vintage-inspired which contrasts with the modern grey colour scheme. Luckily, in this case, the combination works well, meaning these cushions are the ideal accessories to help blend your antique and contemporary furniture pieces together.
2 of 6Slate Grey Ceramic Jug
We all know by now that a bunch of fresh flowers is all it takes to lift a room and we've found a gorgeous grey jug to put your next bouquet into. With a vertical line glaze in slate grey this vase feels modern with a definite nod to the crockery of the past. Whether you prefer a simple bunch of tulips or an elaborate collection of every and any flower you can find, this jug will do the job. It will look fabulous on your coffee table or mantelpiece. Wherever you choose to put it, make sure it's in pride of place like it deserves.
3 of 6Grey Felt Storage Basket, £22
Simple and elegant, we love this storage basket, with a real Scandi feel thanks to the sturdy wooden handles. Use this to hide all of your children's toys or pack away magazines and remote controls to keep your lounge tidy and chic. johnlewis.com
4 of 6Grey Velvet Round Ottoman
If you're looking for a stylish multi-functional addition to your lounge then look no further. This grey quilted pouffe can be tucked in to any corner and used for all manner of occasions. Bring it out when you fancy a luxurious foot-rest, or offer it as an extra seat when you have lots of guests over. And even when this velvet footrest isn't holding someone's body weight, it still remains useful. Just lift the lid and you have a hidden storage compartment. Fill it with board games, kids toys or maybe even some easy-to-grab evening snacks. Just don't tell anyone else about your secret hiding place.
5 of 6Cotton Rope Grey Storage Basket, £15
There's no avoiding the fact that lounges tend to accumulate…stuff. Whether magazines or blankets are your weakness, it all seems to land on the end of the sofa. Instead of letting these odds and ends ruin your relaxing living room, why not invest in a simple storage basket like this one? It may not seem like much, but having a container dedicated to papers or blankets will make a world of difference to your room. This one is affordable and practical as the rope handles mean you can move it around as desired. And, of course, it's a lovely shade of grey.
6 of 6Delicate Lace Frame (3 Pack) £12
Make your bedroom more personal by including some of your favourite snaps in these beautiful grey frames. Nowadays most of our photographs are taken on our phones and, unfortunately, they never seem to make it any further. Have a quick scroll through your camera roll and I'm sure you'll find photos from birthdays, weddings or holidays that would make for fun additions to your bedroom's decor. The set comes with three different sized frames that can be hung on the wall or grouped together in a freestanding display. next.co.uk
