Choosing Your Ideal Sofa Style

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.

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.
