What colour goes with a grey sofa?
Grey works with almost any colour. Warm colours such as terracotta, or a deep green, stand out most. Pick one colour and repeat it two or three times.
Which colour stands out against your grey?
Choose the grey closest to your sofa to see two colours that stand out.
- Light grey sofa: choose Royal Blue or Jade Green. Deep colours stand out against pale grey.
- Mid grey sofa: choose Sunlit Terracotta or Jade Green. A warm colour or a deep green stands out against cool grey.
- Charcoal sofa: choose Sunlit Terracotta or Snow White. Bright colours stand out against dark grey.
These are suggestions, not rules. Do you already love a colour in a cushion or an artwork? Then use that colour instead.
How do you repeat the colour?
- Choose one colour, such as terracotta.
- Look for it in a cushion or a throw you already own.
- Place the right piece, or the right pair, on a table near the sofa.
Two or three touches of one colour are enough. The colour then looks planned, and the grey sofa looks at home.

Which WINKOO piece adds the colour?
Every WINKOO vase comes in one solid colour, so it is easy to match. Most people choose Noma at 24 cm, which costs A$169.
Noma is our most chosen shape. Jade Green is our most chosen colour, and Royal Blue is in the top two.
Every piece is designed and made in Melbourne in small premium batches.
What if one piece looks a bit small?
Add a second piece in the same colour beside it. An 18 cm vase beside a 24 cm vase is the usual fix. Two heights give the spot a clear shape.
You can find the 18 cm size in the shop. You can also read how to style two vases together.
Your room doesn't need more. It needs the right piece, or the right pair.
Do you need to change anything else?
No, you can keep the sofa, the walls and the furniture you have. One repeated colour is enough.
