Sofas

A sofa is usually the piece a living room gets built around, so getting the size and finish right matters more than with almost any other item in the room. Our French sofas range covers 2 seater sofas through to larger 3 seater designs, in styles from classic buttoned backs to more contemporary leather and velvet finishes. Whether you want a bold statement piece or something that sits quietly in the background, there's a French style sofa to match.

Choosing Between 2 Seater and 3 Seater Sofas

A 2 seater sofa suits smaller rooms or works well as a second seating piece alongside a larger sofa or armchairs. A 3 seater sofa gives more seating for a main living room and tends to work best as the room's central piece rather than a secondary chair. Before choosing based on seat count alone, measure the wall space available, since a 3 seater needs noticeably more length than a 2 seater and can crowd a smaller room even if the extra seating would be useful.

Buttoned Back and Classic French Styles

A buttoned back sofa uses deep button detailing across the back cushion for a more tailored, traditional look, and tends to suit rooms already built around detailed furniture like carved cabinets or armoires. Plainer french sofa designs without buttoning work better in more contemporary rooms, where you want the sofa to sit quietly rather than draw attention. Both styles are available across the 2 seater sofa and 3 seater sofa sizes in this range.

Velvet, Linen and Leather Finishes

The fabric changes the whole feel of a sofa as much as its shape does. A velvet sofa gives a richer, more luxurious finish, particularly in deeper colours. A linen sofa gives a softer, more relaxed look that suits lighter, more casual rooms. A leather sofa gives a more contemporary, low-maintenance finish that tends to suit rooms mixing french style with more modern pieces. If you're unsure which fabric will suit your room, ordering a swatch first is a lower risk way to check the finish against your existing furniture.

FAQs

Do you offer 4 seater sofas?

The current range focuses on 2 seater and 3 seater sizes, along with a corner sofa option for larger seating needs, so get in touch if you're specifically looking for a 4 seater format.

What's the difference between a buttoned back sofa and a plainer french sofa?

A buttoned back sofa has deep button detailing across the back cushion for a more tailored look, while a plainer design keeps the upholstery flat and simple for a more contemporary feel.

Is a leather sofa harder to maintain than a fabric sofa?

Leather generally needs less regular cleaning than fabric, since spills wipe off rather than soaking in, though it should still be kept away from direct heat sources to avoid drying out.

Will a velvet sofa show marks more easily than a linen one?

Velvet can show light marks from brushing against the pile in one direction, though these usually smooth out, while linen tends to show creasing more than marking.

How much wall space does a 3 seater sofa need compared to a 2 seater?

A 3 seater is noticeably longer than a 2 seater, so measure your wall space before choosing based on seating capacity alone, particularly in smaller rooms.
