Neutral Color Sofas with the Most ‘Likes’ — & How to Style Them

When you shop Living Spaces, you can ‘like’ an item. So can everyone else: in fact, hundreds do, all the time. To let you in on just what you’re loving for the living room — and what everyone else is loving, too — we’re sharing our sofa likes data. Keep reading to see the most popular neutral color for sofas this year (and some designer-favorite ways to style them).  
1. Ash Grey
The most popular sofa is the McDade Ash Grey, a darker shade of the hue that adds more definition to a space than not. Lighter colors can feel faded, but this color strikes the perfect balance between neutral and stylish. Interior designer Courtney Marquez, whose tips are quoted for the rest of sofas on this list, too, lets us in on her favorite way to style this one. "Pillows with attitude — black, patterned — create a modern feel."
2. Beige
The second-most favorited neutral color sofa, from your 2024 likes, is the Reid Buff, a beige color in a soft fabric that's perfect for summer. For styling with beige sofas like this one, Courtney enlists the help of 'motion', to make beige more interesting. "The soft waves of a patterned rug, the soothing brushstrokes of a painted table lamp, all create an artistic feel around the neutral center."
3. Light Grey
The third-most-liked color on this list comes from the Linday Park, a light grey marvel. "It's almost silvery," Courtney describes, "making it perfect for white accent pieces and cool tones." Throw a blue blanket on this customer favorite sofa for a good-to-go living room color scheme!
4. White
Right behind in fourth place is the Newport White Fabric Sofa. "White isn't always the first choice for families, which is why I'm not surprised it's not number-one," the designer says. If you go that route, though, take the pro's advice on loosening up: "white as a frame for bright colors like yellow and teal truly pop, and will turn your living room into one that feels light and refreshed."

5. Cream
To wrap up the list: what's the fifth-most-liked neutral sofa of 2024? It's the Zone sofa, a cream-colored haven for relaxation and recharging. "In my mind, this is the most organic-feeling of all of them," Courtney tells us. Her expert advice for styling with this soft neutral? "Play up the natural color with nature. Small coffee table plants, or even just branches on an end table, is a great way to style any sofa, but especially ivory and cream."
