If you’re looking for a large sofa that will work for a busy family home, we’d recommend our Mabel, Betsy or Oscar three-seaters. These designs are roomy enough to kick off your shoes and lie down, cuddle your partner, snuggle up with the kids or even allow your pets to jump up and get cosy. The seat and back cushions are soft and squishy, helping to make these styles the sort of sofas that you can sink into. They’re ideal for larger rooms and look amazing when chosen in bright pops of colour – although we do also offer several shades of grey if you’re looking for a more subtle colour.

We think you’d love one of our classic Chesterfield sofas! The Hugo and the Albert are two of our best-selling styles thanks to their timeless design and the range of sizes and colours available. It sounds like you’re after more of a traditional sofa, so perhaps one of our shades of grey would work best for you but we could sway your mind with our vintage green or midnight blue velvet fabrics. Both of these colours look stunning in both contemporary and traditional homes, especially when pared with neutral walls and floors.

It sounds like you prefer more minimal styles, so we think you’ll find something you like in our Urban collection. Our Chorlton and Bramhall sofas offer simple, stylish designs with comfy seats, providing sofas that look good with minimal fuss. Choose from a variety of fabrics, including our popular aquaclean velvet and new corduroy. There are plenty of subtle shades of grey, or bolder hues are also available. Our Chorlton model is also available as a corner sofa, if you’re on the hunt for something larger.

If you’re looking for a stylish sofa that doesn’t compromise on comfort, we’d recommend taking a look at our new Urban collection. The sleek silhouettes, streamlined legs and on-trend shapes of the Didsbury, Richmond and Dulwich sofas help to create stylish designs that will look amazing in modern homes. A wide range of colours and fabrics are available, including on-trend blush pink and deep terracotta shades alongside more neutral greys. There’s also a full range of sizes to choose from, whether you’re looking for an armchair, a three seater or even a large corner sofa.

It sounds like one of our snuggle seats would suit you perfectly! Our Hugo, Betsy and Kew sofas are available as snugglers that are the perfect size for couples to get cosy on but also make the perfect seats to snuggle up on your own with a good book. They take up much less room in your home than our larger sofas without compromising on comfort or style. All these styles are available in a range of colours with both bright and neutral options, whether you’re looking for something that pops or a more classic design.
