Buying guides

Sofas

Your sofa sets the tone for the whole living room, so size, shape, fabric and comfort all matter.

2 seater sofas

A 2 seater sofa suits smaller living rooms, snugs and bedrooms, or pairs with a larger sofa.

3 seater sofas

A 3 seater is the go-to family sofa, with room to stretch out.

4 seater sofas

A 4 seater sofa seats the whole family and makes a statement in a large room.

Sofas in a box

A sofa in a box arrives flat-packed in boxes and is assembled in the room, so it can go where a traditional sofa won't fit.

Velvet sofas

Velvet sofas feel soft and look rich, with a sheen that shows off deep colours.

Armchairs

An armchair adds a comfortable seat for reading or relaxing and a chance to bring in colour.

Beanbags

Beanbags give relaxed, movable seating for gaming, reading and lounging, indoors or out.

Pouffes and footstools

A footstool or pouffe adds a place to put your feet up, an extra seat or a soft coffee table.

Coffee tables

A coffee table anchors the seating area and keeps drinks, books and remotes within reach.

Sideboards

Sideboards provide long, low storage for living and dining rooms, with a top for lamps and display.

Rugs

A rug defines a space, adds softness underfoot and pulls a colour scheme together.

Cushions

Cushions are the quickest way to add colour and comfort to a sofa, chair or bed.

Corner sofas

Corner sofas tuck into a corner and seat more people in less floor space.

Fabric sofas

Fabric sofas come in a huge range of textures and colours, from soft chenille to looped boucle and plush velvet.

Accent chairs

Accent chairs bring colour, shape or texture into a room and add an extra seat where you need it.

Bookcases

Bookcases store and display books and treasures in any room.
