Sofas

Currently, neutral sofas are really having a moment. Gentle tones such as beige, grey and soft pastels are all in vogue, with their subtle colours pairing well with most interior styles. Velvet sofas are also still going strong, offering a luxurious feel and adding a touch of elegance to any room. For more advice, check out our predictions for the biggest sofa trends for 2025.

Don’t buy the wrong size, it’s essential to measure up before investing in a new sofa. Also, avoid cheap materials - you don’t have to worry about that here at Furniture and Choice, all our sofas are produced with quality materials, made to last.

A well-made sofa can last anywhere from 7 to 15 years. The lifespan of your sofa will depend on the quality of the materials and construction, but also how well you look after it once it’s in your home.

Firm sofas are a great option if lifespan is essential to you, this is because they maintain their shape and support slightly better than their softer counterparts over time. That’s not to say softer sofas won’t still last well. It’s all down to the quality of construction.

Throws are a great way to dress up your sofa. Casually drape a throw over the back or arm of the sofa for a relaxed look or use multiple throws in different textures and colours to add depth to your look. Throws are also an easy way to style up your space from season to season. Read our round-up on the best ways to dress your sofa for more advice.
