Measure the width and depth of the area and compare this to the sofa dimensions to ensure it’ll fit. If you have a sloping ceiling, don’t forget to measure the height of the area to check there’s enough space for the sofa.
Top tip: Try the 2:3 (two-thirds) approach, choosing a sofa roughly two-thirds of the length of the wall where you plan on placing it. This allows space for extra décor like a side table or a lamp, without it becoming too cramped.
All our sofas come with removable cushion covers. These can be wiped clean, but they can’t be machine washed. We have an upholstery care kit to keep your sofa in tip-top condition, available to buy, or it comes free with any of our sofas over £849.
We offer FREE fabric samples across our sofa ranges. Just look for the “request a swatch” button (located under add to basket). If the button isn’t there, it means we don’t have this sample in stock to send out to customers.
When it comes to furnishing your living space, the sofa is often the centrepiece, around which the rest of the room is arranged. Therefore, choosing the right sofa size is crucial to the functionality and aesthetic of your room. From loveseats designed for cosy spaces to sprawling corner sofas, understanding the variety of sofa types is key. Loveseats and armchairs are ideal for small rooms or as complementary seating, while sectional sofas offer versatile seating options for larger spaces.
Choosing Your Ideal Sofa Style
At Furniture123, we offer a broad selection of top-quality sofas in various styles and designs. Firstly, let's explore the different types of sofa designs. From timeless Chesterfield sofas to modern l shaped sofas, there's a style for every taste and preference. If you fancy a sleek, modern look then our August range is the perfect choice. If you are after a traditional, timeless design, you'll find a wide variety of options within our Payton range.
When it comes to sofa materials, there are several favourites. Leather sofas are celebrated for their lavish and timeless appeal. They are durable, easy to maintain, and develop a beautiful patina over time. However, if you're after a budget-friendly option, faux leather or bonded leather sofas are worth considering. They offer a similar look to genuine leather at a lower cost. Fabric sofas, on the other hand, offer a wide variety of styles, colours, and patterns to pick from. They are generally more affordable than leather and can provide a snug and comfortable seating experience. Boucle sofas have surged in popularity, thanks to their unique texture, inviting comfort, and visually appealing aesthetics. They offer a perfect blend of comfort, style, and sophistication. Their textured appeal, coupled with an inherent cosiness, makes boucle sofas a favoured choice for adding depth and interest to interior spaces. Our Hudson and Elvi ranges have got you covered when it comes to boucle sofas.
To maintain and care for your sofa, follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintenance. Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning can help keep your sofa looking its best. It's also a good idea to rotate cushions and avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Colour choices and adding final touches
One of the most crucial decisions you'll make is selecting the right sofa colour. The colour of your sofa can greatly affect the overall vibe of your living space. If you're aiming for a timeless and versatile look, neutral colours like beige, grey, or cream are excellent choices. These shades effortlessly blend with any interior style and allow you to experiment with different accent pieces.
Also, consider matching furniture and footstools can enhance the overall harmony of your living room. Choosing furniture pieces that complement your sofa's design, such as coffee tables or side tables in similar finishes or materials, can create a harmonious and well-coordinated look.
