Time for a new sofa?
The sofa is the most important part of any living space. As the most used item in the living room, you want it to be comfortable, stylish, and as big as possible, all without compromising floor space. You don't want to just stick your new sofa in any available space but rather make it a focal point of your design scheme, and a big part of that is deciding what colour to choose.
If you're planning to invest in a new sofa in 2023, we have looked at the most searched-for sofa colours (using search data from Semrush) to establish which will prove to be most popular, and unsurprisingly, trusty grey tops the list ahead of nature-inspired calming shades like green and blue. But perhaps the most surprising top five entry is pink – no longer a colour solely used within the confines of a child's bedroom, pink sofas can be a sophisticated choice for grown-up spaces too.
The most popular sofa colours forecast for 2023:
1. Grey sofas
2. Green sofas
3. Blue sofas
4. Pink sofas
5. Black sofas
6. Navy sofas
7. Teal sofas
8. Beige sofas
9. Orange sofas
10. White sofas
11. Yellow sofas
12. Brown sofas
Kelly Collins, interior designer and head of creative at Swyft Home, says: 'We’ve seen pastel pinks and blushes re-enter the interiors space in the last year or so, but this year we can expect more striking hot pinks start to trend. Styling is set to be more bold in the year ahead, so no more shying away from the bold pink tones in favour of the muted colours. Being brave with colourways is almost a trend within itself.'
Taking inspiration from the top sofa colours of 2023, we've found 12 fabulous sofas in this year's most on-trend hues.
