Sofa Builds & Upholstery
The build of your sofa and the fabric choice you make will not only impact the aesthetic of your sofa, but also will play a large role in how your sofa will perform and feel, these are important factors to consider when making your decision.
Back Types
The backing type of your sofa will have a large impact on the firmness of it, on top of this they all offer a varied look making them a perfect choice for different home settings.
Tight Back Sofas have their backing cushions integrated onto the sofa, these backs offer sturdy back support while providing a classical, formal look.
Seat Types
Similarly to back types, the seat cushion type you choose will also play a vital part in the support provided, the comfort, and the aesthetic of your sofa.
Fixed Seat Cushions are firmly packed, integrated seat cushions. These cushion types offer a firm yet comfortable support and the most formal look. What’s more is that due to the integrated design these cushion types do not require plumping.
Loose Seat Cushions are separated from the sofa base, these cushions are typically softer than fixed cushions and can be plumped when needed. The Loose Seat Cushion also provides a more laid back aesthetic.
Upholstery
When it comes to choosing your upholstery fabric for your sofa there are a few things you’ll want to think over before making a decision; these include the overall look and feel of your sofa as well as the aftercare you’ll require.
Leather
Leather Sofas provide a sleek and stylish look making them great for modern homes. With use, the leather will develop a personal character and charm making your sofa truly a unique piece. Leather sofas are known for being long lasting as well as easy to clean making them ideal for families.Â
Fabric
Fabric Sofas will bring a chic and cosy feel to your space, these sofas come in a wide selection of varying colours, patterns, textures and prints making them extremely versatile. Modern upholstery fabrics have been made easier to clean than ever and are now just as durable as leather sofas.
