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 is the overall width for a 2 seater?
A standard 2 seater sofa typically measures between 170cm to just under 200cm in width.
This size allows for a seating width of at least 60cm per person, ensuring a comfortable seating experience for two individuals
What is the difference between a loveseat and a 2 seater sofa?
While both a loveseat and a 2 seater sofa are designed to seat two people, a loveseat is generally more compact, often used for cozy seating arrangements in smaller spaces.
A 2 seater sofa tends to offer more seating room and is designed with a slightly larger frame compared to a loveseat.
What type of leathers do you offer?
We use top grain leathers with both matte and glossy finishes for our leather sofas.
- Matte finish: Ideal for casual or modern interiors, matte finishes offer a soft, understated look. They're great for spaces where minimalism or a more natural feel is desired.
- Glossy finish: Best suited for formal or contemporary settings, a glossy finish adds a touch of luxury and sophistication. It reflects light and can make a bold statement in more refined or elegant interiors.
What is the difference between a half leather and full leather?
The difference between half leather and full leather lies in the material coverage and cost. Full leather sofas are entirely upholstered in genuine leather on all visible areas, including the seat, back, and sides. This option offers a consistent, high-quality leather feel and is more durable, as leather resists wear over time better than synthetic materials. However, this durability and premium look come at a higher cost since genuine leather is used throughout.
Half leather, on the other hand, combines genuine leather on high-contact areas like the seat cushions, armrests, and backrest with synthetic materials on less-visible parts, such as the sides and back. This option provides the look and feel of leather where it matters most while remaining more budget-friendly. Although half leather may require a mix of care routines—leather conditioning for the seating areas and basic cleaning for synthetic sections—it is an economical choice for those seeking a leather appearance without the full expense.
Choosing between the two often depends on your preference for durability, uniformity, and budget.
How to choose what leather to use?
When choosing real leather, consider the following:
- Finish: Decide whether a matte or glossy finish best suits your home’s style. Matte leather offers a more relaxed, understated look, while glossy leather provides a sleek, modern edge, adding a touch of sophistication to your space.
- Grain pattern and colour: Select a grain pattern (fine or textured) that complements the aesthetic of your space. Choose a colour that aligns with your existing color scheme for a cohesive design.
Should I choose leather with fine grain or textured grain patterns?
The grain patterns on leather are created through different embossing techniques. When choosing, consider:
- Durability: Textured grains tend to hide wear and tear better, making them more durable over time.
- Touch: Fine-grained leather feels smoother, while textured leather can provide a more tactile experience.
- Style: Fine grains are often associated with sleek, contemporary looks, while textured grains give off a more rugged or vintage appearance.
How to maintain leather overtime?
To keep your leather sofa looking its best, follow these tips:
- Prevention: Protect your sofa from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and avoid placing it near heat sources to keep the leather from drying out.
- Maintenance: Regularly dust and wipe your sofa with a soft, damp cloth. From time to time, use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and to prevent cracking.
What is the difference between full grain leather, top grain leather, genuine leather, nappa leather and aniline leather?
- Genuine Leather: Refers to any leather made from cowhide, typically lower grade than full grain or top grain.
- Full Grain Leather: The highest quality, it includes the entire grain layer, which is more durable and develops a natural patina over time.
- Top Grain Leather: Slightly less natural than full grain, top grain has the top layer sanded and treated, offering a more uniform appearance.
- Corrected Leather: A heavily treated leather that undergoes sanding and embossing to remove imperfections, often used for more uniform finishes.
- Nappa Leather: Known for its soft, supple texture, Nappa is usually made from top grain hides of lamb, sheep, or cow, and is often left minimally treated.
- Pigmented Leather: This leather is coated with a protective layer of pigment, which makes it more resistant to stains and fading.
- Aniline Leather: Treated with soluble dyes that penetrate the leather without covering the surface, aniline leather retains its natural texture but is more prone to wear.
What is the benefit of choosing green sofas?
Green sofas bring a refreshing and natural feel to any room. The colour green is often associated with growth, harmony, and tranquillity, making it an ideal choice for creating a relaxing atmosphere.
Depending on the shade, green can evoke feelings of calm or add a bold, lively touch, enhancing both contemporary and classic interiors.
What design styles work well with green?
Green sofas are versatile and can fit into a wide variety of design styles, including:
- Botanical and Natural: Light or mid-tone greens complement plant-filled spaces and natural wood finishes.
- Modern: Dark green sofas add depth and sophistication to modern interiors, especially when paired with minimalist decor and metallic accents.
- Traditional: Rich, deep green tones work well in more formal, traditional settings, especially alongside dark wood furniture.
- Eclectic: Green can blend with a range of textures and patterns, making it a bold choice in eclectic interiors.
What cushions work well with green sofas?
Neutral cushions in shades like beige, cream, or light grey pair well with green sofas, providing a subtle contrast.
For a pop of colour, consider mustard yellow, burnt orange, or blush pink, which add warmth and brightness.
Gold or brass tones can add a luxurious touch, while darker greens or even navy blue can create a cohesive, monochromatic look.
What rugs work well with green sofas?
Neutral rugs in cream, beige, or light grey provide balance for the richness of a green sofa.
For more texture and interest, patterned rugs with hints of green or botanical motifs can complement the sofa.
Rugs made from natural fibres like jute or sisal also work beautifully to enhance a natural or bohemian vibe.
What wall colour work well with green sofas?
Light, neutral wall colours such as soft white, cream, or light grey help a green sofa stand out without overwhelming the room.
For a more daring approach, deep jewel tones like rich emerald or sapphire can create a sophisticated, dramatic look.
Earthy tones like taupe, beige, or warm terracotta also pair harmoniously with green sofas.
