How many people can sit on your sofa?
Most of our sofas are modular in design, allowing you to craft a sofa that fits your space and seating needs.
We offer options for 2-person sofas, perfect for small spaces, or larger configurations that can comfortably seat over 5 people, ideal for family gatherings.
You can co-create your dream sofa with us to perfectly suit your home.
What is considered a deep seat sofa and is it right for me?
A deep seat sofa typically has a seat depth of 56 cm or more from the front edge to the back cushion. This allows for a more relaxed, lounge-friendly seating position, as it gives ample room to sit back and stretch out your legs. Standard seat depths are usually between 45 to 56 cm, so anything beyond this is considered deep.
A deep seat sofa is great for those who prioritise comfort and want a sofa suitable for lounging. It works especially well for taller individuals who need more seat depth to sit comfortably. If you have a larger living area and like to relax or entertain guests, a deep seat sofa can be an excellent choice.
While deep seat sofas are great for comfort, they might not be ideal for smaller rooms, as they can take up more floor space. They may also feel too deep for shorter individuals, making it difficult to sit upright with feet touching the floor. Additionally, if you prefer more formal or upright seating, a deep seat sofa might not provide the support you’re looking for.
Is assembly required for your sofas?
Yes, our sofas require some assembly at the customer's place.
This usually involves attaching the legs or connecting different sofa modules.
This set up helps facilitate transportation through narrow spaces like lifts or corridors.
What is the difference between a sofa, couch, and settee?
The terms "sofa," "couch," and "settee" have different origins:
- Sofa comes from the Arabic word ṣuffah, meaning a wooden bench covered with cushions.
- Couch comes from the French word coucher, meaning to lie down, emphasizing comfort.
- Settee has British roots and traditionally refers to a long seat with a backrest for more formal settings.
Today, these terms are often used interchangeably to describe the same type of furniture — your sofa can now also mean my couch.
What type of faux leathers do you offer?
We offer two types of faux leather finishes - matte and glossy:
- Matte faux leather series: Offers a sleek, modern look, perfect for minimalist and contemporary styles. It provides a subtle, understated finish that blends well with modern decor themes.
- Glossy faux leather series: Brings a more traditional, luxurious vibe, ideal for those seeking a vintage or classic appearance. Its shiny surface adds a touch of elegance and grandeur to spaces with more ornate or retro design elements.
How to choose what faux leather to use?
The choice of faux leather depends on your lifestyle and home decor style:
- If you have pets, our matte faux leather series is more ideal as they are more scratch resistant.
- In addition, consider the overall style of your home to decide between matte or glossy finishes.
- Lastly, explore the colour options and grain patterns across different faux leather series to find the best fit to match your home’s look.
Should I choose faux leather with fine grain or textured grain patterns?
The grain pattern is determined by the embossing technique used. When it comes to selection, the following considerations are helpful:
- Durability: Textured grain patterns has a bumpy surface and are often seen as more durability as scratches and creases are less visible.
- Touch: Textured grain patterns feel more rugged and tactile while flat grain patterns provide a smoother, softer touch
- Style: Depends on your personal styling preference
What makes pet friendly faux leather scratch resistant?
When pets scratch on the pigmented surface of faux leather, it may cause the pigment to wear off, leaving scratch marks.
In pet friendly faux leather, the pigment and fabric backing are reinforced with silicone glue, improving adhesion and making it more resistant to scratches.
What is the difference between microfibre, leathaire, PU and PVC?
These terms refer to different components used in faux leather production:
- Microfiber describes the fabric backing, which uses very fine fibers. This creates fewer gaps, reducing cracks on the surface over time.
- Leathaire refers to microperforations on the pigmented surface, which improve breathability by mimicking the air pores of genuine leather. However, these perforations may reduce durability.
- PU (Polyurethane) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) are materials used for the pigmented surface. PU is considered a more durable option as it was developed as an improvement to PVC.
What is the benefit of choosing white sofa?
White sofas bring a sense of purity, elegance, and spaciousness to any room. The colour white is associated with simplicity, cleanliness, and serenity, making it an ideal choice for creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
A white sofa can enhance natural light, making small spaces feel more open, while providing a timeless, sophisticated backdrop for any decor style.
What design styles work well with white?
White sofas are highly adaptable and complement a wide range of design styles, including:
- Minimalist: White sofas are perfect for minimalist interiors, where clean lines and simplicity are key.
- Modern: In modern spaces, white sofas create a sleek and polished look, especially when paired with bold accents or metallic finishes.
- Scandinavian: White is a core element of Scandinavian design, enhancing the feeling of light and warmth in the room.
- Coastal: White sofas fit beautifully in coastal-inspired interiors, evoking a fresh, breezy vibe.
What cushions work well with white sofas?
Cushions in neutral tones like grey, beige, or taupe offer a subtle, sophisticated contrast to a white sofa.
For a pop of colour, pastel tones such as blush pink, light blue, or mint green can add a soft, refreshing touch.
Bold hues like navy blue, emerald green, or mustard yellow can also bring a striking contrast, while metallic accents add a touch of luxury.
What rugs work well with white sofas?
Neutral rugs in shades of beige, cream, or light grey enhance the elegance of a white sofa.
Textured rugs such as shag, wool, or jute bring warmth and depth, while patterned rugs, including geometric or Moroccan designs, add interest without overpowering the space.
For a minimalist look, a monochromatic rug in white or off-white provides a seamless, cohesive style.
What wall colour work well with white sofas?
Soft, neutral wall colours like cream, beige, light grey, or taupe provide a warm and balanced backdrop for a white sofa.
For a more dramatic contrast, darker shades like charcoal or navy blue can create a bold statement.
Alternatively, soft pastels such as pale pink or light blue can add a gentle, calming effect while still maintaining the room's brightness.
