My Favourite Two Seater Sofas
My Favourite Two Seater Sofas
Some sofas do not have to be big just to fill a room. Nowadays, you can have 2 seater sofas instead of 2, 3, 4 or more seaters.
The fact is buying a new sofa is a big investment. Shopping for your sofa of choice can be overwhelming with so many sizes, styles, fabrics, cost and colours to weigh up.
There a number of key things to bear in mind. Firstly, to avoid any problems, ensure you have measured your space accurately and clocked potential pitfalls like hallways, staircases and doors. If space is tight, choose a sofa that can at least partially be assembled in situ, or one with removable arms.
Get a sense of how the sofa will look in proportion with the rest of the room by marking it out on the floor with newspaper. If interested in a reclining sofa, check there will be enough room for it to fully extend. Square arms are the most modern choice and there are plenty of slender options; classic scroll arms can look grand but add a lot to the sofa’s overall width, which may not be practically suited to a city flat.
Look for foam upholstery if you want a firmer and more support required. Feather or fibre-filled cushions are best for those looking for something more casual, who don’t mind turning them regularly. Buying something classic is always a good shout as you don’t have to worry about your sofa looking dated. If you’re in need of some style but short on space, choose one of my favourite two-seater sofas.

A leather sofa is always without a doubt be timeless classic furniture. It will never be dated and this beautiful tan DFS French Connection looks like a vintage piece that has gone back in time! It is 100% Leather and my one of my favourite sofa around.
The square arms sit at a natural level and are wide enough to lean on and the legs are hidden away, giving the sofa an illusion of floating in space. This stylish piece of furniture looks like it would take centre stage in your living room, backed up by other retro touches. It would look great with wooden floorboards and a rich, earthy-toned rug. It also comes in a three-seater sofa, an armchair, a footstool and there are other colours in black, brown or conker-stained leather.
Its great value for the price tag, giving two people plenty of room to stretch out. The frame and springs are guaranteed for 15 years, so you can enjoy it worry-free. When leather aged, it gets its character from use. Use a special leather cleaner to get out a stain and dab rather than rub.
