Corfe Grey Furniture & Wall Paint by Sophie James Paint
Choosing the right grey isn't always easy. Go too dark and a room can feel enclosed. Choose a brilliant white and it can sometimes feel cold or clinical. Sophie James Corfe Grey sits comfortably between the two, offering a soft light grey that feels fresh, balanced and effortlessly liveable.
Its subtle tone makes it one of those colours that works almost anywhere. Whether your home leans towards modern minimalism, traditional country style or Scandinavian-inspired interiors, Corfe Grey blends naturally with its surroundings while allowing furniture, artwork and accessories to stand out.

Corfe Grey is particularly well suited to painted furniture. It gives wardrobes, chest of drawers, display cabinets, dining tables and kitchen cupboards a clean, updated appearance without losing their original character. Pair it with natural oak for warmth, brushed brass for a touch of luxury or matte black hardware for a more contemporary finish.
As a wall colour, Corfe Grey creates bright, welcoming spaces that feel open without becoming stark. It's equally at home in kitchens, bedrooms, hallways, lounges and home offices, providing a neutral backdrop that's easy to update with seasonal accessories and changing décor.
With suitable preparation, Corfe Grey can also be used on exterior woodwork and garden furniture, making it simple to create a consistent look throughout your home.
One Paint, Countless Possibilities
Sophie James Paint has been trusted by professional decorators for more than 30 years and combines commercial-grade performance with a water-based formula that's easy to use.
Designed for furniture, walls, wood, MDF, metal, brick, concrete and glass, it delivers a smooth, durable finish across a wide variety of interior and exterior surfaces.
Whether you're restoring a vintage sideboard, repainting fitted furniture or updating an entire room, Sophie James Paint is designed to help you achieve professional results with confidence.
Covers More, Wait Less
Each litre provides coverage of up to 14m², helping you complete projects efficiently with fewer coats. Thanks to its quick-drying formulation, a second coat can usually be applied within around two hours, allowing decorating projects to progress quickly.
Designed to Simplify Decorating
The self-priming formulation includes a built-in protective wax, removing the need for separate primers, finishing waxes or varnishes on most projects. Fewer preparation stages mean less time spent waiting and more time enjoying the finished result.
A Modern Formula Built to Last
Rather than relying on chalk, Sophie James Paint uses carefully selected natural minerals together with advanced water-based resins to create excellent adhesion, durability and weather resistance. The result is a hard-wearing finish that's suitable for busy homes while remaining smooth and easy to apply.
Create Your Own Finish
Every colour in the Sophie James collection can be mixed together, giving you complete freedom to create bespoke shades.
Corfe Grey is also an excellent base for layered paint effects. Leave it crisp and contemporary for a clean modern look, or gently distress edges to reveal timber beneath and create furniture with plenty of character.
Peel & Stick Samples and tester pots are available if you'd like to see how Corfe Grey looks in your own home before choosing a larger size.
Better for Everyday Living
Sophie James Paint is water-based, low odour and complies with the UK Paint Directive 2012 for Low VOC products, containing no more than 10g of VOCs per litre. Recyclable packaging and biodegradable packing materials are used wherever possible.
How to Apply
Begin by making sure every surface is clean, dry and free from grease, polish, wax and loose paint. Wash with sugar soap where required, rinse thoroughly and allow the surface to dry before decorating.
Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion before removing any dust.
Stir the paint thoroughly before use and apply with a quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for the best finish, although some surfaces or colours may occasionally require an additional coat.
Once complete, clean brushes and rollers with water and reseal any remaining paint ready for future projects.
