Grey Sofa Couch Shopping Tips

Now I know I sound like a broken record but it’s super important to start with a floor plan of your space. Without this, you will not know the exact size sofa you need.

It’s especially important when you are shopping for a modular or sectional sofa. The worst thing that can happen is your sofa gets delivered and doesn’t fit in your space.

Trust me no one is happy when that happens!

Whether you are shopping online or in the furniture store images are deceiving. This is especially true when shopping in person.

You have to remember the lighting and scale of the store are NOT the same as the space of your home.

To begin the design process download this how-to-measure guide so you have a “map” to follow. That way you’ll know the exact size sofa for your interior design.

Download your FREE how-to-measure guide to avoid returns!

Once you have your measurements you’ll be able to order your furniture with confidence.

This video will help you create a floor plan based on the measurements of your space.


Grey Couch Living Room Ideas

Now for the fun part! Check out all the resources below that will help you get started with your living room. I recommend looking at the entire design as a whole BUT I have learned most people just start with the couch.

When I worked as a design consultant clients could not move forward until after they finalized the sofa style. They were overwhelmed with the thought of pulling everything together to create a balanced design.

If this sounds like you, no worries, let’s just focus on the modern grey couch styles for now.
