                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Sara Hesikova has been a Content Editor at &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; since June 2024, starting at the title as a News Writer in July 2023. She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Holly is a Content Editor at&lt;em&gt; Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; and has been working at the brand since June 2023. Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

Since the online retailer’s range is so vast, you have to weed through quite a lot of bad to get to the good – and that can get overwhelming for many. This is part of my job though, and I thoroughly enjoy hunting for these little treasures so that you don’t have to.</p><p>As <em>Ideal Home</em>’s Room Decor Editor, I have a rather expensive taste. But even I’d happily add these affordable <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/tag/christmas">Christmas decor ideas</a> to my home this festive season. Whether it’s the <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0FHQDZ8TY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">paper Christmas stars</a> which are among the biggest <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/christmas-decor-trends-2026">Christmas decor trends of 2026</a>, or the charming <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Crimbo-Style-Christmas-Skirt/dp/B0DLWRK9DY/ref=sr_1_76" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">drum Christmas tree skirt</a> to hide an ugly tree stand. Amazon is also where I recommend to <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/christmas-ideas/best-christmas-lights-indoor-188078">buy the best Christmas lights</a> so I had to include a couple of those in this top 20 shortlist. Happy Christmas shopping!</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="20be75b6-c0d7-11f1-908c-ddaae5ef5c27">            <a

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Sara Hesikova has been a Content Editor at &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; since June 2024, starting at the title as a News Writer in July 2023. She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Christmas might seem a long time away but it’s actually less than 80 sleeps until the big day. So now’s a great time to slowly start preparations in order to stay organised and avoid stress in the lead up to the holiday. Christmas decor (at least the good kind) tends to sell out long before December so now’s the time to snap up these best Amazon Christmas decoration picks.  </p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Christmas-Shop/s?k=Christmas+Shop" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Amazon</a> is a great <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/all-rooms-decor/where-to-buy-christmas-decorations">place to shop for Christmas decorations</a> on a budget - especially during <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/news/amazon-prime-day-174578">Amazon Prime Day</a> - as long as you know what to search and what to look for. Since the online retailer’s range is so vast, you have to weed through quite a lot of bad to get to the good – and that can get overwhelming for many. This is part of my job though, and I thoroughly enjoy hunting for these little treasures so that you don’t have to.</p><p>As <em>Ideal Home</em>’s Room Decor Editor, I have a rather expensive taste. But even I’d happily add these affordable <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/tag/christmas">Christmas decor ideas</a> to my home this festive season. Whether it’s the <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0FHQDZ8TY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">paper Christmas stars</a> which are among the biggest <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/christmas-decor-trends-2026">Christmas decor trends of 2026</a>, or the charming <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Crimbo-Style-Christmas-Skirt/dp/B0DLWRK9DY/ref=sr_1_76" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">drum Christmas tree skirt</a> to hide an ugly tree stand. Amazon is also where I recommend to <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/christmas-ideas/best-christmas-lights-indoor-188078">buy the best Christmas lights</a> so I had to include a couple of those in this top 20 shortlist.

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>Welcome back to another just-post-payday round-up of thrifty gifts for your home. The weather may be quite mild as I write this, but there's definitely a chill in the air - autumn is definitely upon us.  Don't worry, though; I'm not going to bombard you with pumpkin motifs and cosy-core homeware... not yet at least. The following transitional pieces are perfect for now and any time of the year.</p><p>If you're new to our website (hi there!) or have never come across this page before, let me explain... As a happy consequence of editing <a href="https://www.magazinesdirect.com/uk/ideal-home-subscription/dp/0b607f57" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Britain's best-selling homes magazine</a>, I make a list of my favourite homeware buys I spot along the way that cost £20 and under, and I round them up here the first week of every month. While our magazine and website are full of brilliant buys and investment pieces, nothing can beat the internal fist-pump feeling of snapping up a bargain, and this page is selfishly dedicated to that.</p><p>Take the <a href="https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1342813001.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">H&M Home wastepaper basket</a> for instance. It's far too nice to hide under a table, isn't it? Personally, I'd use it to store a few rolled-up woollen throws, and when the temperature gauge really starts to drop, I can grab one to snuggle into. Or what about the <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/8465850" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Habitat quilted cushion</a>? I'm a sucker for a patchwork design - they balance my love of Scandi style with graphic prints perfectly. And isn't the <a href="https://www.procook.co.uk/product/cast-iron-mini-casserole-stone-12cm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ProCook mini casserole dish</a> just crying out for a Camembert and 15 minutes in a 180ºC oven...?</p><p>A word of warning when you do scroll down and spot something you like: don't make the same mistake that I often do, popping something into my basket and coming back to it a day or two later to find it's sold out. These beauties are mostly seasonal, so once they're gone, they're gone. Instead, snap up anything sharpish that takes your fancy to avoid any disappointment. Because we all deserve a little treat sometimes, don't we?</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="2c457536-be5e-11f1-94b7-e9e6480ebf0e">            <a

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Ginevra Benedetti has been the Deputy Editor of &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; magazine since 2021, having first joined the team in 2011. She currently oversees the publication of the brand’s magazine each month, editing, writing and commissioning, from planning through to publication. With a career in magazines spanning nearly twenty years, she has worked for the majority of the UK’s interiors magazines and websites, both as staff and as a freelancer. Just some of the other brands she has written for include &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens, Livingetc, Country Homes &amp; Interiors, Good Homes&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gardeningetc.com&lt;/em&gt;. She has been fortunate enough to have interviewed some of the most talented designers in the business and she&#039;s written about pretty much every area of the home - from shopping and decorating, appliances and home tech, wallpaper and fabric, kitchens and bathrooms, even extensions and conversions.  Having lived in London for over 20 years, she recently moved north and now calls Glasgow home. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can be terribly indecisive… so I’ll go with two! In winter, it’s in the living room curled up on the sofa with a fire going. In Summer, it’s most definitely in our sun-trapped garden. With a few friends over, kids playing on the trampoline, cooking up all sorts on the barbecue, with a glass of something cold in my hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have so many! Scented candles for one. The smoky, musky scents. I’m really not keen on overly floral smells. I’m also a sucker for smart tech and home automation. I do like geeking out on how clever some of the latest tech can be and integrating it into my home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ve just bought a couple of tins of Farrow &amp; Ball’s Studio Green as I plan to repaint my office walls. It’s a really deep shade, but the room gets loads of natural light as it’s at the top of the house, so the colour will lighten up considerably. Once painted, I’ll probably add a simple shelf for some plants and things and some framed pictures. I tend to decorate in stages. I do a little, live with it.. and then tweak. Another result of my indecisiveness!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Welcome back to another just-post-payday round-up of thrifty gifts for your home. The weather may be quite mild as I write this, but there's definitely a chill in the air - autumn is definitely upon us.  Don't worry, though; I'm not going to bombard you with pumpkin motifs and cosy-core homeware... not yet at least. The following transitional pieces are perfect for now and any time of the year.</p><p>If you're new to our website (hi there!) or have never come across this page before, let me explain... As a happy consequence of editing <a href="https://www.magazinesdirect.com/uk/ideal-home-subscription/dp/0b607f57" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Britain's best-selling homes magazine</a>, I make a list of my favourite homeware buys I spot along the way that cost £20 and under, and I round them up here the first week of every month. While our magazine and website are full of brilliant buys and investment pieces, nothing can beat the internal fist-pump feeling of snapping up a bargain, and this page is selfishly dedicated to that.</p><p>Take the <a href="https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1342813001.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">H&M Home wastepaper basket</a> for instance. It's far too nice to hide under a table, isn't it? Personally, I'd use it to store a few rolled-up woollen throws, and when the temperature gauge really starts to drop, I can grab one to snuggle into. Or what about the <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/8465850" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Habitat quilted cushion</a>? I'm a sucker for a patchwork design - they balance my love of Scandi style with graphic prints perfectly. And isn't the <a href="https://www.procook.co.uk/product/cast-iron-mini-casserole-stone-12cm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ProCook mini casserole dish</a> just crying out for a Camembert and 15 minutes in a 180ºC oven...?</p><p>A word of warning when you do scroll down and spot something you like: don't make the same mistake that I often do, popping something into my basket and coming back to it a day or two later to find it's sold out. These beauties are mostly seasonal, so once they're gone, they're gone. Instead, snap up anything sharpish that takes your fancy to avoid any disappointment. Because we all deserve a little treat sometimes, don't we?</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="2c457536-be5e-11f1-94b7-e9e6480ebf0e">            <a

Considering it's been among the most popular sofa styles for the past 300 years it’s no surprise that there are so many to choose from. So I’ve tried as many as I possibly could to narrow it down to these top 12 best Chesterfield sofas.</p><p>Defined by deep button tufting, curved rolled or scroll armrests levelled with the upright backrest, this is one of the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-sofas-242350">best sofa</a> designs you could go for if longevity and timelessness are your top priorities. If you’re a fan of a more traditional and heritage-inspired aesthetic, this is the one for you, too. However, a Chesterfield can work well in a a more contemporary living room, while modern takes on the classic style have also been commonplace – some of which have found their way onto this shortlist. </p><figure role="gallery"><figure><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DuA7GUDH2NV9Hh3zCRB4AR-1920-80.jpg" alt="Sara lying down on the Furniture Village Wallace At The Helm Connaught sofa" /><figcaption>Me testing some Chesterfield sofas in store<small role="credit">Future/Sara Hesikova</small></figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ULJV7VuXWEvu3XmSqZZqCR-1920-80.jpg" alt="Sara sitting on the Furniture Village Shackleton At The Helm Apsley sofa" /><figcaption><small role="credit">Future/Sara Hesikova</small></figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DDCf2QfFbzX8FHm8H44BAR-1920-80.jpg" alt="Sara sitting on the Furniture Village Rene sofa" /><figcaption><small role="credit">Future/Sara Hesikova</small></figcaption></figure></figure><p>‘The style has evolved considerably,’ says Julia Bilotta, creative stylist at <a href="https://www.sofology.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sofology</a>. ‘Rather than being restricted to traditional leather and formal proportions, today’s Chesterfields can be oversized, upholstered in relaxed fabrics, given lower profiles or softer, more contemporary silhouettes. This has allowed the Chesterfield to retain its character while feeling relevant to modern homes.’</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d9749aee-b59d-11f1-bad2-93b6c9c803b6">            <a href="https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8817109" data-model-name="Habitat Chesterfield Blue Velvet 2 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MSbQsmHB7XDiAAMtYP2FPk.jpg" alt="Habitat Chesterfield Velvet 2 Seater Sofa - Blue"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Habitat</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Chesterfield Blue Velvet 2 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Budget Chesterfield sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2-seat; also available as 3-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W180cm x D90cm x H77cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Blue, Green, Charcoal, Natural<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Pocket sprung foam filling with wooden feet<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Sofas tend to be quite the investment, and Chesterfields are no exception. Finding a Chesterfield sofa under £1000 is very difficult, so this Habitat design's £629 price point is a bargain!

As most Chesterfields (especially leather ones as it's a tougher material), the Earle, too, is on the firmer side, especially when it comes to the button-tufted back and armrests area. But the removable cushions are actually rather squishy. The overall shape and design stays true to tradition with an upright back and scrolled, wide armrests.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>7-day delivery</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d9749cec-b59d-11f1-97cb-35b511549863">            <a href="https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/wallace-4-seater-fabric-chesterfield-sofa/ZFRSP000000000054685.html" data-model-name="Wallace 4 Seater Tawny Fabric Chesterfield Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kRv5xJZvceKnLrbA74EZdS.jpg" alt="At The Helm, Wallace 4 Seater Fabric Chesterfield Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>At The Helm</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Wallace 4 Seater Tawny Fabric Chesterfield Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Elegant Chesterfield sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 4-seat; also available as 3-seat and 2-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W239cm x D90cm x H81cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 10 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam-encased in a Dacron wrap filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If I was to invest in a Chesterfield for myself, the Wallace is likely the one I'd go for. It's a more streamlined, elevated and modern take on the Chesterfield as the rolled arms are much more minimal and neater compared to the traditional shape. I've tried the leather version of it in a Furniture Village store but I prefer the look and the idea of the fabric upholstery finish. And I love the range of colours, including this earthy Tawny shade.   <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- A more contemporary and streamlined take on the Chesterfield sofa look</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>20-year structural guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Fitted with convenient castor wheels</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Metal stud embellishment</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d9749e0e-b59d-11f1-b6da-b9ebd31a64de">            <a href="https://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/payton-range-pview" data-model-name="Darlings of Chelsea Payton Willow Tree Stain Resistant Plush Velvet 3 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2s83xNupRUkp8fy36qRr8d.jpg" alt="Darlings of Chelsea, Payton Willow Tree Stain Resistant Plush Velvet 3 Seater Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Darlings of Chelsea</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Payton Willow Tree Stain Resistant Plush Velvet 3 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Chesterfield-inspired sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat and 3.5-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W178cm x D95cm x H88cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 170 colours, 29 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Hardwood frame with a foam core with a soft fibre wrap filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Darlings of Chelsea is a very reliable brand to go to for any traditional style of sofa, Chesterfield sofas included. And while the brand has more true Chesterfield-style sofas in its offering - like the <a href="https://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/harrington-range-pview" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Harrington</a>, for example - it's the Payton sofa that I prefer. This sofa looks like a cross between a Chesterfield shape, keeping the curved, button-tufted back, and other heritage-inspired sofa styles common in the UK. And conveniently, all the sizes are also available as a sofa bed version.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Not a traditional Chesterfield shape</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Available as a sofa bed</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery choices</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime structural guarantee</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d974a098-b59d-11f1-bcd0-e5739b2da3ce">            <a href="https://www.next.co.uk/homeware/sofas-chairs/gosford-ii-deep-sit/size-3-seater-small-sofa-fabric-plush-velvet-easy-clean-ginger-orange-feet-low-turned-dark" data-model-name="Gosford II Deep Sit Plush Velvet Easy Clean Ginger Orange 3 Seater Small Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/o32AFW6EitE6jofcjoApP8.jpg" alt="Next, Gosford II Deep Sit Plush Velvet Easy Clean Ginger Orange 3 Seater Small Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Next</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Gosford II Deep Sit Plush Velvet Easy Clean Ginger Orange 3 Seater Small Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Deep-seat Chesterfield sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as snuggle, small 2-seat, 2-seat, small 3-seat, 4-seat and chaise<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W210cm x D109cm x H80cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 100 colours, 22 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid hardwood frame with a structured foam core filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>The original idea for the Chesterfield sofa back in the 18th century was centred around an upright sit that would prevent gentlemen's clothing from getting creased when sitting down. But these days, we live very differently and <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/sofas/deep-seat-sofa-trend">deep-seat sofas</a> are preferred by most, myself very much included. That's exactly why I so enjoyed sitting on Next's Gosford II sofa which takes the traditional look and silhouette of the Chesterfield but makes it deeper and lounging-friendly.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Exaggerated scroll arms</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery choices</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Deeper seat than traditional Chesterfield sofas</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Low-maintenance seat cushions</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d9749b66-b59d-11f1-ae8a-c597f303e1fb">            <a href="https://www.potterybarn.co.uk/chesterfield-tufted-upholstered-sofa-collection" data-model-name="Pottery Barn Chesterfield Pebble Heathered Chenille Grand Roll Arm Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8rDxVARQz4rTeGouBKLhY4.jpg" alt="Pottery Barn Chesterfield Roll Arm Sofa (170 Cm - 249 Cm)"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Pottery Barn</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Chesterfield Pebble Heathered Chenille Grand Roll Arm Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Traditional Chesterfield sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Grand; also available as loveseat and 2-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W249cm x D104cm x H81cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 15 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Engineered wood frame with polyester-wrapped steel sinuous springs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If you're after a Chesterfield sofa style with a design that's true to the original, Pottery Barn's Chesterfield is as authentic as they come.

But I'd argue that it's actually a very traditional take on the look, with the only contemporary addition being brass stud embellishment which makes the sofa look pretty rock'n'roll. Few leather sofas are as soft and supple as this one and the seat cushions feel really comfy, too. And if you're feeling patriotic, there's also a version with a Union Jack print across the backrest - it's not really my vibe but it's definitely a statement.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options</p><p>- Only one size available</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>30-year structural guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Free delivery with a 2-man, white glove delivery team</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Handmade in the UK</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d9749f1c-b59d-11f1-abe4-e77f1c6c0808">            <a href="https://www.sofa.com/gb/bespoke-sofas/patrick-sofa/p/FSPTR121HSTKOI" data-model-name="Sofa.com Patrick 2.5 Seat Sofa in Koi House Soft Touch" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.33%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/BVa2cr2Nu743wbpQTpBHxe.jpg" alt="Sofa.com, Patrick 2.5 Seat Sofa in Koi House Soft Touch"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Sofa.com</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Patrick 2.5 Seat Sofa in Koi House Soft Touch</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Luxury leather Chesterfield sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2.5-seat; also available as 2-seat and 3-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W204cm x D98cm x H75cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 70 colours, 25 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid beechwood frame with feather-wrapped foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>There are several reasons to love the Patrick sofa from Sofa.com - but my top reason is its perfect blend of traditional inspiration and a modern interpretation. As a result, the button tufting synonymous with the Chesterfield style is more pared-back and so are the curved rolled arms.

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>The Chesterfield sofa is one of the most instantly recognisable and iconic sofa styles. Considering it's been among the most popular sofa styles for the past 300 years it’s no surprise that there are so many to choose from. So I’ve tried as many as I possibly could to narrow it down to these top 12 best Chesterfield sofas.</p><p>Defined by deep button tufting, curved rolled or scroll armrests levelled with the upright backrest, this is one of the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-sofas-242350">best sofa</a> designs you could go for if longevity and timelessness are your top priorities. If you’re a fan of a more traditional and heritage-inspired aesthetic, this is the one for you, too. However, a Chesterfield can work well in a a more contemporary living room, while modern takes on the classic style have also been commonplace – some of which have found their way onto this shortlist. </p><figure role="gallery"><figure><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DuA7GUDH2NV9Hh3zCRB4AR-1920-80.jpg" alt="Sara lying down on the Furniture Village Wallace At The Helm Connaught sofa" /><figcaption>Me testing some Chesterfield sofas in store<small role="credit">Future/Sara Hesikova</small></figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ULJV7VuXWEvu3XmSqZZqCR-1920-80.jpg" alt="Sara sitting on the Furniture Village Shackleton At The Helm Apsley sofa" /><figcaption><small role="credit">Future/Sara Hesikova</small></figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DDCf2QfFbzX8FHm8H44BAR-1920-80.jpg" alt="Sara sitting on the Furniture Village Rene sofa" /><figcaption><small role="credit">Future/Sara Hesikova</small></figcaption></figure></figure><p>‘The style has evolved considerably,’ says Julia Bilotta, creative stylist at <a href="https://www.sofology.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sofology</a>. ‘Rather than being restricted to traditional leather and formal proportions, today’s Chesterfields can be oversized, upholstered in relaxed fabrics, given lower profiles or softer, more contemporary silhouettes.

As most Chesterfields (especially leather ones as it's a tougher material), the Earle, too, is on the firmer side, especially when it comes to the button-tufted back and armrests area. But the removable cushions are actually rather squishy. The overall shape and design stays true to tradition with an upright back and scrolled, wide armrests.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>7-day delivery</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d9749cec-b59d-11f1-97cb-35b511549863">            <a href="https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/wallace-4-seater-fabric-chesterfield-sofa/ZFRSP000000000054685.html" data-model-name="Wallace 4 Seater Tawny Fabric Chesterfield Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kRv5xJZvceKnLrbA74EZdS.jpg" alt="At The Helm, Wallace 4 Seater Fabric Chesterfield Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>At The Helm</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Wallace 4 Seater Tawny Fabric Chesterfield Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Elegant Chesterfield sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 4-seat; also available as 3-seat and 2-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W239cm x D90cm x H81cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 10 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam-encased in a Dacron wrap filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If I was to invest in a Chesterfield for myself, the Wallace is likely the one I'd go for. It's a more streamlined, elevated and modern take on the Chesterfield as the rolled arms are much more minimal and neater compared to the traditional shape. I've tried the leather version of it in a Furniture Village store but I prefer the look and the idea of the fabric upholstery finish. And I love the range of colours, including this earthy Tawny shade.   <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- A more contemporary and streamlined take on the Chesterfield sofa look</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>20-year structural guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Fitted with convenient castor wheels</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Metal stud embellishment</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d9749e0e-b59d-11f1-b6da-b9ebd31a64de">            <a href="https://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/payton-range-pview" data-model-name="Darlings of Chelsea Payton Willow Tree Stain Resistant Plush Velvet 3 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2s83xNupRUkp8fy36qRr8d.jpg" alt="Darlings of Chelsea, Payton Willow Tree Stain Resistant Plush Velvet 3 Seater Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Darlings of Chelsea</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Payton Willow Tree Stain Resistant Plush Velvet 3 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Chesterfield-inspired sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat and 3.5-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W178cm x D95cm x H88cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 170 colours, 29 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Hardwood frame with a foam core with a soft fibre wrap filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Darlings of Chelsea is a very reliable brand to go to for any traditional style of sofa, Chesterfield sofas included. And while the brand has more true Chesterfield-style sofas in its offering - like the <a href="https://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/harrington-range-pview" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Harrington</a>, for example - it's the Payton sofa that I prefer. This sofa looks like a cross between a Chesterfield shape, keeping the curved, button-tufted back, and other heritage-inspired sofa styles common in the UK. And conveniently, all the sizes are also available as a sofa bed version.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Not a traditional Chesterfield shape</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Available as a sofa bed</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery choices</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime structural guarantee</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d974a098-b59d-11f1-bcd0-e5739b2da3ce">            <a href="https://www.next.co.uk/homeware/sofas-chairs/gosford-ii-deep-sit/size-3-seater-small-sofa-fabric-plush-velvet-easy-clean-ginger-orange-feet-low-turned-dark" data-model-name="Gosford II Deep Sit Plush Velvet Easy Clean Ginger Orange 3 Seater Small Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/o32AFW6EitE6jofcjoApP8.jpg" alt="Next, Gosford II Deep Sit Plush Velvet Easy Clean Ginger Orange 3 Seater Small Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Next</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Gosford II Deep Sit Plush Velvet Easy Clean Ginger Orange 3 Seater Small Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Deep-seat Chesterfield sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as snuggle, small 2-seat, 2-seat, small 3-seat, 4-seat and chaise<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W210cm x D109cm x H80cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 100 colours, 22 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid hardwood frame with a structured foam core filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>The original idea for the Chesterfield sofa back in the 18th century was centred around an upright sit that would prevent gentlemen's clothing from getting creased when sitting down.

But I'd argue that it's actually a very traditional take on the look, with the only contemporary addition being brass stud embellishment which makes the sofa look pretty rock'n'roll. Few leather sofas are as soft and supple as this one and the seat cushions feel really comfy, too. And if you're feeling patriotic, there's also a version with a Union Jack print across the backrest - it's not really my vibe but it's definitely a statement.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options</p><p>- Only one size available</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>30-year structural guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Free delivery with a 2-man, white glove delivery team</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Handmade in the UK</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d9749f1c-b59d-11f1-abe4-e77f1c6c0808">            <a href="https://www.sofa.com/gb/bespoke-sofas/patrick-sofa/p/FSPTR121HSTKOI" data-model-name="Sofa.com Patrick 2.5 Seat Sofa in Koi House Soft Touch" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.33%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/BVa2cr2Nu743wbpQTpBHxe.jpg" alt="Sofa.com, Patrick 2.5 Seat Sofa in Koi House Soft Touch"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Sofa.com</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Patrick 2.5 Seat Sofa in Koi House Soft Touch</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Luxury leather Chesterfield sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2.5-seat; also available as 2-seat and 3-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W204cm x D98cm x H75cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 70 colours, 25 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid beechwood frame with feather-wrapped foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>There are several reasons to love the Patrick sofa from Sofa.com - but my top reason is its perfect blend of traditional inspiration and a modern interpretation. As a result, the button tufting synonymous with the Chesterfield style is more pared-back and so are the curved rolled arms.

It's a more formal-style sofa with an upright sit and a supportive, foam-filled seat but I still thoroughly enjoyed having a sit on it.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Comes with only a 2-year guarantee</p><p>- Only one upholstery option</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Quick delivery with 14 days</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Legs equipped with castor wheels</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="d974a0f2-b59d-11f1-b30f-33dfe13f062e">            <a href="https://dusk.com/products/chesterfield-3-seater-sofa-cedar-earth" data-model-name="DUSK Chesterfield Cedar Earth 3 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8287auF52dR8j4nWVV4VUB.jpg" alt="DUSK, Chesterfield 3 Seater Sofa - Cedar Earth"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>DUSK</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Chesterfield Cedar Earth 3 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Budget modern Chesterfield-inspired design<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W210cm x D87cm x H76cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Cedar earth, Cream linen, Stone<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Ash wood frame with foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>I love an updated, more modern twist on a classic - and that's exactly what this DUSK sofa is, reinterpreting the iconic Chesterfield style for the 21st century. The part that I enjoy the most is the exposed ash wood platform base as it brings more texture to the design and it beautifully complements the earthy olive green shade of the upholstery fabric. But the main thing about this sofa is how affordable it is - it's rare to find a reasonably sized and stylish sofa under £1000, let alone under £700.

This sofa style gives a sense of security – as it stood the test of time for the last 300 years, it’s a worthwhile investment that won’t go out of style in a few years time. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="djeKJNEkxvLyDRU6yTQwd6" name="Neutral living room ideas katie lee new neutral" alt="A soft, earthy pink-painted living room with a brown leather Chesterfield sofa" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/djeKJNEkxvLyDRU6yTQwd6-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/Katie Lee)</span></figcaption></figure><p>‘It’s a popular style that has stood the test of time to establish itself as a tried and tested classic,’ confirms Shelley Cochrane, accessories buyer at <a href="https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Furniture Village</a>. ‘People therefore see Chesterfield sofas as a worthwhile investment and purchase them with the confidence of knowing they will never go out of style.’</p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-what-kind-of-home-does-a-chesterfield-sofa-suit"><span>What kind of home does a Chesterfield sofa suit?</span></h2><p>Although Chesterfield sofas look right at home in period homes and living rooms with a more traditional aesthetic, that doesn’t mean that it’s a no-go for more modern spaces.

She&#039;s spent the last five years researching and writing about what makes for the best night’s sleep during the day and testing out sleep products to find the best-in-class by night. So far she’s clocked up over 10,000 hours of pillow, duvet, and mattress testing experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our go-to for all things sleep-related, she’s slept on and under bestselling products from Simba, Emma, Hypnos, Tempur, Silentnight, Panda, and many many more. As a hot sleeper, Amy is always on the lookout for the most breathable bedding, but she also leads a wider team of testers to ensure our product testing encompasses both hot sleepers, cold sleepers, front sleepers, back sleepers, side sleepers, and everything in-between.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In her mission to unlock the secrets to a good night&#039;s sleep, Amy regularly attends product launches, speaks to industry insiders, spends time climbing on and off mattresses in showrooms across the country, and travels to visit factories and testing facilities – most recently the IKEA testing facility in Älmhult Sweden where the brand’s mattresses are put through vigorous testing processes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amy also lends her expertise to our furniture guides, sharing her design knowledge with our readers to help them choose the right sofa for their interior or the best garden furniture for their outside space.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before she joined &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;, Amy worked on branding and marketing at various interior and homeware brands, before joining the editorial teams at &lt;em&gt;Livingetc&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Real Homes&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gardeningetc&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;I stare at a screen a lot of the day at work, so somewhere immersed in nature and away from technology is my happy place; generally by water, woodland, or up a hill. I also love trying to bring the soothing effects of nature into my home with lots of plants, natural materials, textures, and nature-inspired colour schemes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;I definitely have a cushion addiction, to the extent I had to specifically look for a sofa that was deep enough to allow me to pile them up high! On the plus side they’re a super easy and affordable way to switch up your decor and refresh a bed or seating, and, obviously, really comfortable! On the downside I now have two blanket boxes filled with ‘spares’… That and houseplants, they seem to multiply fairly regularly too…&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Inspired by my favourite outdoor landscapes I’m planning on painting my desk green to make me feel like I’m outdoors even when I’m not.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Over the last few months, I’ve been going to all the brands’ collection previews for this autumn/winter season. And one clear living room trend that’s been consistently popping up is marble-top coffee and side tables – and I had a blast putting this list of my top 20 picks together, as they are all so beautiful to look at.</p><p>Mixing textures and materials has been a major <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/home-decor-trends-2026">home decor trend</a> for a while now as it’s the essential ingredient to creating more depth and a cosier, more intriguing home. Coffee and side tables with a wooden base and a contrasting marble (or travertine) table top fit into this perfectly, so it’s no surprise that so many brands are embracing the look.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="aiGsao6H2zvaLZ6oqtRB8R" name="Where to buy a sofa maxwell attenborough" alt="A living room with a green Habitat sofa and a Morris Co armchair" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/aiGsao6H2zvaLZ6oqtRB8R-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/Maxwell Attenborough)</span></figcaption></figure><p>While this is a current <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/living-room/living-room-trends-2026">living room trend</a>, I don’t expect it to go anywhere anytime soon as it’s a timeless and elevated look – and one I’ve seen before, just not on this scale.

Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

However, while these gorgeous Morris & Co patterns were originally reserved for wallpaper and textiles, in the last few years there has been an explosion in the number of ready-made homeware items showcasing the Victorian designer's iconic prints.</p><p>From <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/list/shop-all-morris-and-co/?tag=homepage:banner1:shop-all-morris-and-co:week30" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Habitat's hugely successful Morris & Co range,</a> which gave many of the iconic prints a modern refresh on seating and bedding, to <a href="https://ruggable.co.uk/collections/morris-and-co-rugs?srsltid=AU7gw4XlOayi1cXF6LgiHl3TAjXlcaVkcRQkqwPeTIFEwBurqRf-jGXg&sort=age_ascending" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ruggable's new rugs featuring some of William Morris's unfinished designs</a>.

It's no wonder that his designs have been adapted to appear on everything from dinner plates to modular sofas. I'm a huge William Morris fan, and have lots of his designs scattered around my home, including his <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/6607696" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sunflower Print on my Habitat x Morris & Co Sunflower armchair</a>, and the <a href="https://swyfthome.com/products/storage-ottoman-03-fruit?variant=57889516749135&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=Swyft+-+UK+-+EN+-+Smart+Shopping+-+accessories&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23011633115&gbraid=0AAAAACmcKHU8NpeEhsze6uCDgnTNS0A4X&gclid=Cj0KCQjwt9jVBhDXARIsAFSP-6fRCFKSfaaxCOgKbrGTo5SIBugCRie1dUBpkuFrYNATtRnEMsvLrRYaAoyNEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fruits pattern on a Swyft storage ottoman</a> in my bedroom. </p><p>Naturally, I have alot of strong opinions about when a brand does a Morris & Co collection well, and I have seen my fair share of bad versions. Thankfully, this year the good has outweighed the bad.

She graduated with a Master&amp;#39;s degree in magazine journalism from City, University of London in 2018, before starting her journalism career as a staff writer on women&amp;#39;s weekly magazines. She fell into the world of homes and interiors when she joined the Ideal Home website team in 2019 as a Digital Writer. In 2020 she moved into position of Homes News Editor working across &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp;amp; Gardens, LivingEtc, Real Homes, Gardeningetc&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; covering everything from the latest viral cleaning hack to the next big interior trend. In 2022 she returned full time to the Ideal Home team, where she indulges her passion for DIY projects. She is currently decorating her first home in London and enjoys thrifting through charity shops and high street stores to get a high end look without breaking the bank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is sitting in the living room at my Mum&amp;#39;s house in North Yorkshire. She lives at the top of a hill in the countryside, so the living room has huge windows looking out over the rolling fields below. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m obsessed with vintage crockery, I&amp;#39;m a magpie for scouring charity shop bric-a-brac shelves.  My best finds to date are a set of pastel blue Wedgewood candle stick holders and a set of six cut glass wine tumblers I picked up at a second-hand store in the Lake District. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just moved into my first unfurnished rental flat so we&amp;#39;re busy kitting it out. We&amp;#39;re mostly trying to stick to using second-hand items we&amp;#39;re bought cheaply or picked up for free. We inherited some wooden farmhouse chairs from a family friend that need a little upcycling love so they&amp;#39;re my next big project. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>For over 150 years, William Morris prints have been one of the best ways to inject  pattern into your home. However, while these gorgeous Morris & Co patterns were originally reserved for wallpaper and textiles, in the last few years there has been an explosion in the number of ready-made homeware items showcasing the Victorian designer's iconic prints.</p><p>From <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/list/shop-all-morris-and-co/?tag=homepage:banner1:shop-all-morris-and-co:week30" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Habitat's hugely successful Morris & Co range,</a> which gave many of the iconic prints a modern refresh on seating and bedding, to <a href="https://ruggable.co.uk/collections/morris-and-co-rugs?srsltid=AU7gw4XlOayi1cXF6LgiHl3TAjXlcaVkcRQkqwPeTIFEwBurqRf-jGXg&sort=age_ascending" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ruggable's new rugs featuring some of William Morris's unfinished designs</a>.

It's no wonder that his designs have been adapted to appear on everything from dinner plates to modular sofas. I'm a huge William Morris fan, and have lots of his designs scattered around my home, including his <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/6607696" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sunflower Print on my Habitat x Morris & Co Sunflower armchair</a>, and the <a href="https://swyfthome.com/products/storage-ottoman-03-fruit?variant=57889516749135&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=Swyft+-+UK+-+EN+-+Smart+Shopping+-+accessories&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23011633115&gbraid=0AAAAACmcKHU8NpeEhsze6uCDgnTNS0A4X&gclid=Cj0KCQjwt9jVBhDXARIsAFSP-6fRCFKSfaaxCOgKbrGTo5SIBugCRie1dUBpkuFrYNATtRnEMsvLrRYaAoyNEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fruits pattern on a Swyft storage ottoman</a> in my bedroom. </p><p>Naturally, I have alot of strong opinions about when a brand does a Morris & Co collection well, and I have seen my fair share of bad versions. Thankfully, this year the good has outweighed the bad.

I couldn’t be happier with my sofa, but if I had the space I would definitely go for a bigger size like this corner number. The design is definitely modern with a low profile and a curved shape which might not be for everyone. But the ability to change the covers is a great benefit – so you can opt for this dark green colourway in the fluffy Leura S finish and get a spare set of covers to mix it up. I change mine for the different seasons as apart from various colourways, King Living also offers different upholstery finishes.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia – my sofa took almost three months to arrive</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable, washable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year steel frame warranty</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d1f0e-b056-11f1-99a4-81a52bf8e6f0">            <a href="https://sofaclub.co.uk/products/hoxton-textured-chenille-right-corner-sofa-cocoa-powder" data-model-name="Sofa Club Hoxton Cocoa Powder Textured Chenille Right Corner Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cZf6AcVpJy46q5rTckKBnA.jpg" alt="Sofa Club Hoxton Textured Chenille Right Corner Sofa - Cocoa Powder"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Sofa Club</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Hoxton Cocoa Powder Textured Chenille Right Corner Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> A modern sofa with clean lines<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Corner; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat and double corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W274cm x D183cm x H73cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Cocoa powder, Dusty cream<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid hardwood frame with foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>As soon as I saw this sofa at the Sofa Club showroom, I thought it looked so modern and cool. It's the quintessential 'modern sofa' with its clean, sleek lines and pared-back look. But I also really like that it's a sectional design so it can be separated into two sections. And the speckled finish of the upholstery brings the style a little more dimension, too. The feel of the sofa is on the firmer, more supportive side but it's not too firm so it still feels comfortable to lounge and relax on. And the fact that it can arrive within 24 hours is a great benefit.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options to choose from</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>24-hour delivery available</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Contemporary design with clean lines</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Sectional design</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d2314-b056-11f1-82ad-e1ba399f982c">            <a href="https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/gemini-fabric-3-seater-power-glider-sofa/GEMI3SP-FAB-001.html" data-model-name="Furniture Village x Ideal Home Gemini Beige 3 Seater Power Glider Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hEu3D4kDDwMPhs5hnuXf8F.jpg" alt="Furniture Village x Ideal Home Gemini Fabric 3 Seater Power Glider Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Furniture Village x Ideal Home</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Gemini Beige 3 Seater Power Glider Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> A gliding extendable sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 3-seat storage chaise, 2-seat, 4-seat, U-shape<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W319cm x D112cm x H90cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Beige, Tumeric, Brown, Forest green, Caramel, Mist<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam and fibre filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>I've visited one of Furniture Village's showrooms to try the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/sofas/i-tried-the-ideal-home-furniture-village-sofa-collection-in-person">Ideal Home x Furniture Village range of sofas</a> in person. And it was the ingenius Gemini sofa design that stood out and quickly became my favourite. The pared-back look of the sofa is very modern. But what makes this sofa particularly contemporary are its smart features. The gliding function powered by a remote control extends each of the seats - together or separately - and transforms a sofa into a daybed with just a push of a button. And when not in use, the remote can be attached to the side of the sofa as both are magnetic. Like I said - genius!</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options to choose from</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Seats extend with remote-operated power gliders</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Seats can be extended individually and together</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Magnetic remote can be attached to sofa's side</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d1f90-b056-11f1-b919-e7033159189f">            <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-elara-4-seater-chaise-end-sofa-dark-leg-natural/p114994662" data-model-name="John Lewis Elara Natural 4 Seater Chaise End Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7bqxqEzZMJbaV25oCwPK6E.jpg" alt="John Lewis Elara 4 Seater Chaise End Sofa, Dark Leg, Natural"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>John Lewis</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Elara Natural 4 Seater Chaise End Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> A generously-sized, deep modular sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 4-seat chaise; also available as medium 3-seat, large 3-seat, grand 3-seat, medium 3-seat open corner, large 3-seat open corner, large 3-seat corner, 4-seat corner, medium 4-seat chaise, large 4-seat corner witch chaise and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W290cm x D296cm x H90cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Natural + 85 colours, 18 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Wood frame with foam filling and wooden legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>The <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/sofas/john-lewis-elara-modular-sofa">Elara is John Lewis' latest modular sofa</a> launch. Seeing it in various colours, fabrics and configurations at the retailer press preview, I was instantly impressed with the modern design. It has very deep, comfortable seats perfect for lounging and the clean lines of the design are complemented by the gentle curves of the sofa's armrests. The Elara also takes the idea of modularity to a whole new level as you can choose from various widths of the individual modules to build the perfect sofa for you and your living space.</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Large footprint; not very small-space friendly</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Comfortable deep seats</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d1ff4-b056-11f1-990a-4b5a763bafed">            <a href="https://www.mycozmo.com/products/float-3-seater-sofa-brick-boucle-ii" data-model-name="Cozmo Float Brick Boucle 3 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oVQFxHK82iErkeYEHQMtoG.jpg" alt="Cozmo, Float 3 Seater Sofa | Brick Boucle Ii | Natural Trim"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Cozmo</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Float Brick Boucle 3 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Modular design with removable covers<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 1.5-seat, 2-seat, 3-seat chaise, 4-seat chaise, medium corner and large corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W240cm x D100cm x H74cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 16 colours, 5 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>FSC-certified solid wood and birch plywood frame with memory foam and duck feathers<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Even though Cozmo's Float sofa looks incredibly modern with its blocky design, the brand actually quotes cubism as a reference point for this sofa style. And that is the case with a lot of contemporary-looking sofa styles as they often look to the likes of 1970s designs. But aside from its modern look, the Float is also one of my favourite sofas for its modular design, removable and interchangeable covers (so clever and flexible!) and extremely comfortable and soft seats which make you feel like you're sitting on a cloud. So much to love about this one!</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Longer delivery lead times - between 10 and 12 weeks</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable, interchangeable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Extremely comfortable sit</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d2058-b056-11f1-b90c-87d607b50753">            <a href="https://www.arloandjacob.com/felix-grande-sofa" data-model-name="Felix Thicket Aqua Chenille Grande Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8CEpDMfSDCkGu3i9KhkujK.jpg" alt="Arlo & Jacob, Felix Thicket Aqua Chenille Grande Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Arlo & Jacob</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Felix Thicket Aqua Chenille Grande Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Comfortable design with statement legs<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Grande; also available as snuggler, small, large, small corner, large corner, grande corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W230cm x D84cm x H77cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 120 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>European FSC-certified hardwood timber frame with feather-topped foam or fibre-topped foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>While many of Arlo & Jacob's sofa style lean more traditional, there's something very modern about the Felix which is one of my favourite designs from the brand. For one, it's extremely comfortable and cocooning thanks to the generously sized seats and raised enveloping armrests. And to ensure the comfort levels are perfectly tailored to you, you can choose the filling of the seat cushions. And secondly, there's something very contemporary about the ball feet which also create something of a statement. </p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Higher price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Made in the UK by one pair of hands from start to finish</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options to choose from</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d20bc-b056-11f1-8387-7b7b00c6047a">            <a href="https://swyfthome.com/products/model-03-3-seater-seaglass" data-model-name="Swyft Model 03 Seaglass 3-Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/VSzdzgR3RbKttUnsT3E8yM.jpg" alt="Swyft, Model 03 3-Seater Sofa, Seaglass - Seaglass"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Swyft</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Model 03 Seaglass 3-Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> 24-hour delivery sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, chaise, corner and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W254cm x D92cm x H71cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 20 colours, 8 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid and engineered wood frame and foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>When I tried Swyft’s Model 03 at the brand's physical store I was taken with its classic look characteristic for modern modular sofas – angular, boxy modules with low-rise back rest. It's definitely on the more supportive side rather than feeling soft and cushiony. But the main reason why Model 03 is so popular is that it arrives deconstructed in a box and therefore fits through any entrance. And the short lead times make it an even bigger hit – if you order through the Swyft website, you can receive it within 24 hours which is so hard to come by.</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- The sofa has a bulkier design that might not be ideal for small lounges</p><p>- All upholstery fabrics apart from real leather are synthetic</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Quick delivery</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Arrives flat-packed in a box</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d2120-b056-11f1-b2a4-3942a2eda4f2">            <a href="https://www.hollowaysofludlow.com/products/hay-mags-soft-2-seater-sofa-combination-3-right?variant=54035402883457" data-model-name="HAY Mags Soft Linara 142 2+ Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UR6TZDQ9SkZ7C5gJJQSxwQ.jpg" alt="Hay Mags Soft 2+ Seater Sofa Combination 3 Right, Stitching - Linara 443 / White Stitching / Low Armrest"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>HAY</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Mags Soft Linara 142 2+ Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Designer modular modern sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2-seat chaise; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat, 3-seat chaise and 3-seat corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W256.5cm x D135.5cm x H67cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 5 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Hardwood plywood frame with foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>When I was searching for the best modular sofa for my home, the HAY Mags sofa was one I considered. Even though I ended up going in a different direction, I'm still a big fan of this sofa. In the last year, a friend of mine bought this sofa and I've spent a couple of evenings lounging on its deep seats by this point - and I was extremely comfortable. So if you're after something modular, modern, low-profile and a design icon, then I very much recommend the HAY Mags Soft sofa. There's a firmer version - just take away the Soft part - if that's your preference.</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Higher price point</p><p>- Limited upholstery options</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Iconic design</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d224c-b056-11f1-9152-9fa8e6e27efb">            <a href="https://www.heals.com/products/prado-medium-settee?variant=53414509642061" data-model-name="Ligne Roset Prado Alcantara Sea Sand Medium Settee" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/XAoWmBwLB5FBDnGnzxpeo4.jpg" alt="Ligne Roset, Prado Medium Settee - Alcantara Sea Sand"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Ligne Roset</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Prado Alcantara Sea Sand Medium Settee</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Luxury, minimalist look<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Medium settee; also available as large settee<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W200cm x D100cm x H87cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 9 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Goose feather and foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Whether you're working with a small space or prefer a super minimalist look when it comes to sofas, Ligne Roset's Prado settee is the perfect choice. The brand is most known for its Togo sofa but if you're after something truly contemporary and clever, the Prado with its clean lines and purity of design would be my top pick. The lumbar goose feather-filled cushions can be moved to suit your needs and they're weighted so they won't budge once in place, unless you pick them up and move them.

It's a very pared-back design with clean, very modern lines, blocky design and slightly curved back and armrests. It's a really great sofa for lounging around as it's spacious and comfortable enough. And one of the best features of this sofa is also its modular design - so you can rearrange or add to it in the future. Heather's Cohen is upholstered in a grey-coloured woven fabric but I think something like this dark green velvet really makes the shape stand out.</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- The foam filling can start to dip in areas where you sit often - this has happened to Heather's sofa in one particular area</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime frame guarantee</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d21e8-b056-11f1-bcde-2b75093bf1f4">            <a href="https://www.kingliving.co.uk/shop/living/sofas/max/max-package-1?Legs=Standard_Black_Fixed_Leg&Cover=Byron_Blush" data-model-name="King Living Max Byron Blush Modular Sofa with Chaise" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/CThUgPti6WBvBfTvMMK5Dk.jpg" alt="King Living, Max Modular Sofa with Chaise"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>King Living</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Max Byron Blush Modular Sofa with Chaise</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Modular sofa with removable covers<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Chaise; also available as corner, 3-seat and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W304cm x D197cm x H94.5cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 200 colours, 35 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Steel frame with five layers of CFC-free foam and fibres<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>I'm a big fan of King Living's sofas.

It's a low-profile sofa with very deep seats and removable back cushions filled with a mix of feather and down. The blocky modular design also comes with removable, washable covers as all King Living sofas do, so you can easily change the look of your sofa with a new set of covers if you ever feel like it.</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable, washable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame warranty</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d22b0-b056-11f1-bdfb-3dd408235ee5">            <a href="https://www.heals.com/products/wonder-3-seater-sofa" data-model-name="Gubi Wonder 3 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DhQ9RbFvkxBPTacfQsC9R8.jpg" alt="Gubi Wonder 3 Seater Sofa - Dedar Karakorum 001"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Gubi</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Wonder 3 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Contemporary take on a 1970s look <br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat chaise, corner and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W280cm x D95cm x H76cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Dedar Karakorum<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid pine wood, particle board and plywood frame with<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Many modern sofa designs like Gubi's Wonder are contemporary reinterpretations of 1970s styles, this one included.

Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>The term ‘modern sofa’ can mean various things – and it can mean a few different styles of living room seating. But if you favour a more contemporary aesthetic in your home and want to make your lounge look considered yet relaxed at the same time, these are the 12 best modern sofas that will help you do just that.</p><p>When it comes to other <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-sofas-242350">best sofa</a> categories - whether that’s <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/collection/all-rooms/sofas/best-mid-century-style-sofas">mid-century style sofas</a> or <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/collection/all-rooms/sofas/best-curved-sofas">curved sofas</a> - it’s much more straightforward to pinpoint and describe exactly what style of sofa we’re talking about and exactly what it might look like.</p><p>‘“Modern” isn’t really one particular sofa shape – it can encompass a number of different styles and silhouettes,’ says Julia Bilotta, creative stylist at <a href="https://www.sofology.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sofology</a>. ‘Modern sofas tend to prioritise comfort, softness and a more relaxed silhouette, rather than the formal, highly structured appearance associated with traditional sofas.’</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d1e96-b056-11f1-827b-293d1285777e">            <a href="https://www.kingliving.co.uk/shop/living/sofas/1977/1977-pkg-6-uk-v3?Cover=Leura_S_Mangrove" data-model-name="1977 Leura S Mangrove Modular Curved Corner Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.33%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/gNALLcq9cAGne2rYYcBeq7.jpg" alt="King Living, 1977 Leura S Mangrove Modular Curved Corner Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>King Living</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">1977 Leura S Mangrove Modular Curved Corner Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Modular design with removable covers<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Curved corner; also available as corner, 3-seat chaise, 3-seat, 2-seat, single seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W361cm x D130cm x H71cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 27 colours, 5 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Steel frame with five layers of CFC-free foam and fibres<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>I own a slightly different configuration of this very sofa – but I've also had the pleasure of sitting on the corner arrangement. I couldn’t be happier with my sofa, but if I had the space I would definitely go for a bigger size like this corner number. The design is definitely modern with a low profile and a curved shape which might not be for everyone. But the ability to change the covers is a great benefit – so you can opt for this dark green colourway in the fluffy Leura S finish and get a spare set of covers to mix it up. I change mine for the different seasons as apart from various colourways, King Living also offers different upholstery finishes.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia – my sofa took almost three months to arrive</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable, washable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year steel frame warranty</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d1f0e-b056-11f1-99a4-81a52bf8e6f0">            <a href="https://sofaclub.co.uk/products/hoxton-textured-chenille-right-corner-sofa-cocoa-powder" data-model-name="Sofa Club Hoxton Cocoa Powder Textured Chenille Right Corner Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cZf6AcVpJy46q5rTckKBnA.jpg" alt="Sofa Club Hoxton Textured Chenille Right Corner Sofa - Cocoa Powder"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Sofa Club</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Hoxton Cocoa Powder Textured Chenille Right Corner Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> A modern sofa with clean lines<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Corner; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat and double corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W274cm x D183cm x H73cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Cocoa powder, Dusty cream<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid hardwood frame with foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>As soon as I saw this sofa at the Sofa Club showroom, I thought it looked so modern and cool. It's the quintessential 'modern sofa' with its clean, sleek lines and pared-back look. But I also really like that it's a sectional design so it can be separated into two sections. And the speckled finish of the upholstery brings the style a little more dimension, too. The feel of the sofa is on the firmer, more supportive side but it's not too firm so it still feels comfortable to lounge and relax on. And the fact that it can arrive within 24 hours is a great benefit.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options to choose from</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>24-hour delivery available</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Contemporary design with clean lines</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Sectional design</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d2314-b056-11f1-82ad-e1ba399f982c">            <a href="https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/gemini-fabric-3-seater-power-glider-sofa/GEMI3SP-FAB-001.html" data-model-name="Furniture Village x Ideal Home Gemini Beige 3 Seater Power Glider Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hEu3D4kDDwMPhs5hnuXf8F.jpg" alt="Furniture Village x Ideal Home Gemini Fabric 3 Seater Power Glider Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Furniture Village x Ideal Home</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Gemini Beige 3 Seater Power Glider Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> A gliding extendable sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 3-seat storage chaise, 2-seat, 4-seat, U-shape<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W319cm x D112cm x H90cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Beige, Tumeric, Brown, Forest green, Caramel, Mist<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam and fibre filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>I've visited one of Furniture Village's showrooms to try the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/sofas/i-tried-the-ideal-home-furniture-village-sofa-collection-in-person">Ideal Home x Furniture Village range of sofas</a> in person. And it was the ingenius Gemini sofa design that stood out and quickly became my favourite. The pared-back look of the sofa is very modern. But what makes this sofa particularly contemporary are its smart features. The gliding function powered by a remote control extends each of the seats - together or separately - and transforms a sofa into a daybed with just a push of a button. And when not in use, the remote can be attached to the side of the sofa as both are magnetic.

It has very deep, comfortable seats perfect for lounging and the clean lines of the design are complemented by the gentle curves of the sofa's armrests. The Elara also takes the idea of modularity to a whole new level as you can choose from various widths of the individual modules to build the perfect sofa for you and your living space.</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Large footprint; not very small-space friendly</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Comfortable deep seats</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d1ff4-b056-11f1-990a-4b5a763bafed">            <a href="https://www.mycozmo.com/products/float-3-seater-sofa-brick-boucle-ii" data-model-name="Cozmo Float Brick Boucle 3 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oVQFxHK82iErkeYEHQMtoG.jpg" alt="Cozmo, Float 3 Seater Sofa | Brick Boucle Ii | Natural Trim"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Cozmo</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Float Brick Boucle 3 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Modular design with removable covers<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 1.5-seat, 2-seat, 3-seat chaise, 4-seat chaise, medium corner and large corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W240cm x D100cm x H74cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 16 colours, 5 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>FSC-certified solid wood and birch plywood frame with memory foam and duck feathers<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Even though Cozmo's Float sofa looks incredibly modern with its blocky design, the brand actually quotes cubism as a reference point for this sofa style. And that is the case with a lot of contemporary-looking sofa styles as they often look to the likes of 1970s designs. But aside from its modern look, the Float is also one of my favourite sofas for its modular design, removable and interchangeable covers (so clever and flexible!) and extremely comfortable and soft seats which make you feel like you're sitting on a cloud.

For one, it's extremely comfortable and cocooning thanks to the generously sized seats and raised enveloping armrests. And to ensure the comfort levels are perfectly tailored to you, you can choose the filling of the seat cushions. And secondly, there's something very contemporary about the ball feet which also create something of a statement. </p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Higher price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Made in the UK by one pair of hands from start to finish</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options to choose from</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d20bc-b056-11f1-8387-7b7b00c6047a">            <a href="https://swyfthome.com/products/model-03-3-seater-seaglass" data-model-name="Swyft Model 03 Seaglass 3-Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/VSzdzgR3RbKttUnsT3E8yM.jpg" alt="Swyft, Model 03 3-Seater Sofa, Seaglass - Seaglass"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Swyft</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Model 03 Seaglass 3-Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> 24-hour delivery sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, chaise, corner and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W254cm x D92cm x H71cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 20 colours, 8 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid and engineered wood frame and foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>When I tried Swyft’s Model 03 at the brand's physical store I was taken with its classic look characteristic for modern modular sofas – angular, boxy modules with low-rise back rest. It's definitely on the more supportive side rather than feeling soft and cushiony. But the main reason why Model 03 is so popular is that it arrives deconstructed in a box and therefore fits through any entrance. And the short lead times make it an even bigger hit – if you order through the Swyft website, you can receive it within 24 hours which is so hard to come by.</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- The sofa has a bulkier design that might not be ideal for small lounges</p><p>- All upholstery fabrics apart from real leather are synthetic</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Quick delivery</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Arrives flat-packed in a box</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d2120-b056-11f1-b2a4-3942a2eda4f2">            <a href="https://www.hollowaysofludlow.com/products/hay-mags-soft-2-seater-sofa-combination-3-right?variant=54035402883457" data-model-name="HAY Mags Soft Linara 142 2+ Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UR6TZDQ9SkZ7C5gJJQSxwQ.jpg" alt="Hay Mags Soft 2+ Seater Sofa Combination 3 Right, Stitching - Linara 443 / White Stitching / Low Armrest"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>HAY</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Mags Soft Linara 142 2+ Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Designer modular modern sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2-seat chaise; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat, 3-seat chaise and 3-seat corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W256.5cm x D135.5cm x H67cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 5 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Hardwood plywood frame with foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>When I was searching for the best modular sofa for my home, the HAY Mags sofa was one I considered. Even though I ended up going in a different direction, I'm still a big fan of this sofa. In the last year, a friend of mine bought this sofa and I've spent a couple of evenings lounging on its deep seats by this point - and I was extremely comfortable. So if you're after something modular, modern, low-profile and a design icon, then I very much recommend the HAY Mags Soft sofa. There's a firmer version - just take away the Soft part - if that's your preference.</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Higher price point</p><p>- Limited upholstery options</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Iconic design</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d224c-b056-11f1-9152-9fa8e6e27efb">            <a href="https://www.heals.com/products/prado-medium-settee?variant=53414509642061" data-model-name="Ligne Roset Prado Alcantara Sea Sand Medium Settee" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/XAoWmBwLB5FBDnGnzxpeo4.jpg" alt="Ligne Roset, Prado Medium Settee - Alcantara Sea Sand"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Ligne Roset</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Prado Alcantara Sea Sand Medium Settee</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Luxury, minimalist look<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Medium settee; also available as large settee<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W200cm x D100cm x H87cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 9 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Goose feather and foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Whether you're working with a small space or prefer a super minimalist look when it comes to sofas, Ligne Roset's Prado settee is the perfect choice. The brand is most known for its Togo sofa but if you're after something truly contemporary and clever, the Prado with its clean lines and purity of design would be my top pick. The lumbar goose feather-filled cushions can be moved to suit your needs and they're weighted so they won't budge once in place, unless you pick them up and move them.

It's a very pared-back design with clean, very modern lines, blocky design and slightly curved back and armrests. It's a really great sofa for lounging around as it's spacious and comfortable enough. And one of the best features of this sofa is also its modular design - so you can rearrange or add to it in the future. Heather's Cohen is upholstered in a grey-coloured woven fabric but I think something like this dark green velvet really makes the shape stand out.</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- The foam filling can start to dip in areas where you sit often - this has happened to Heather's sofa in one particular area</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime frame guarantee</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d21e8-b056-11f1-bcde-2b75093bf1f4">            <a href="https://www.kingliving.co.uk/shop/living/sofas/max/max-package-1?Legs=Standard_Black_Fixed_Leg&Cover=Byron_Blush" data-model-name="King Living Max Byron Blush Modular Sofa with Chaise" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/CThUgPti6WBvBfTvMMK5Dk.jpg" alt="King Living, Max Modular Sofa with Chaise"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>King Living</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Max Byron Blush Modular Sofa with Chaise</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Modular sofa with removable covers<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Chaise; also available as corner, 3-seat and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W304cm x D197cm x H94.5cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 200 colours, 35 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Steel frame with five layers of CFC-free foam and fibres<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>I'm a big fan of King Living's sofas.

It's a low-profile sofa with very deep seats and removable back cushions filled with a mix of feather and down. The blocky modular design also comes with removable, washable covers as all King Living sofas do, so you can easily change the look of your sofa with a new set of covers if you ever feel like it.</p><p><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable, washable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame warranty</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="733d22b0-b056-11f1-bdfb-3dd408235ee5">            <a href="https://www.heals.com/products/wonder-3-seater-sofa" data-model-name="Gubi Wonder 3 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DhQ9RbFvkxBPTacfQsC9R8.jpg" alt="Gubi Wonder 3 Seater Sofa - Dedar Karakorum 001"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Gubi</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Wonder 3 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Contemporary take on a 1970s look <br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat chaise, corner and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W280cm x D95cm x H76cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Dedar Karakorum<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid pine wood, particle board and plywood frame with<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Many modern sofa designs like Gubi's Wonder are contemporary reinterpretations of 1970s styles, this one included.

Eating with weighty, ergonomic cutlery is one of life's simple joys, and it's worth investing in. </p><p>While a classic set of cutlery is essential, there's a new trend that is quickly taking over. As a self-confessed cutlery snob, I wasn't initially convinced by the colourful silverware trend, but with more brands creating their own rainbow-inspired styles, it's safe to say that it's not going anywhere. </p><p>Iconic cutlery from <a href="https://sabre-paris.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sabre Paris</a> has led the way for this trend, providing a bistro-inspired look for a tablescape that makes adding colour feel simple and accessible - no matter how confident you are with experimenting. There's so much versatility with this, too - you can choose to match your <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/kitchen/kitchen-ideas/kitchen-colour-schemes-65091">kitchen colour scheme</a> or introduce an entirely new shade. </p><p>It's one of the simplest ways to spruce up a tablescape, particularly if you like to keep the rest of a dining space pared-back. <a

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Holly is a Content Editor at&lt;em&gt; Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; and has been working at the brand since June 2023. Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>There's a few small details within a kitchen that I have a big opinion about, and cutlery is one of them. Eating with weighty, ergonomic cutlery is one of life's simple joys, and it's worth investing in. </p><p>While a classic set of cutlery is essential, there's a new trend that is quickly taking over. As a self-confessed cutlery snob, I wasn't initially convinced by the colourful silverware trend, but with more brands creating their own rainbow-inspired styles, it's safe to say that it's not going anywhere. </p><p>Iconic cutlery from <a href="https://sabre-paris.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sabre Paris</a> has led the way for this trend, providing a bistro-inspired look for a tablescape that makes adding colour feel simple and accessible - no matter how confident you are with experimenting. There's so much versatility with this, too - you can choose to match your <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/kitchen/kitchen-ideas/kitchen-colour-schemes-65091">kitchen colour scheme</a> or introduce an entirely new shade. </p><p>It's one of the simplest ways to spruce up a tablescape, particularly if you like to keep the rest of a dining space pared-back. <a href="https://www.addisonross.com/products/wave-cutlery-periwinkle-pale-blue-16-piece-set" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Addison Ross' wavy periwinkle set</a> is my chosen 'fun' set that I bring out to 'oos' and 'ahs' at dinner parties, but I also have my eye on a mismatched set inspired by those found at French brocantes. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4"

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Amy is &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s Sleep Editor and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-sleep-amy-lockwood&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert on Sleep&lt;/a&gt;. She&#039;s spent the last five years researching and writing about what makes for the best night’s sleep during the day and testing out sleep products to find the best-in-class by night. So far she’s clocked up over 10,000 hours of pillow, duvet, and mattress testing experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our go-to for all things sleep-related, she’s slept on and under bestselling products from Simba, Emma, Hypnos, Tempur, Silentnight, Panda, and many many more. As a hot sleeper, Amy is always on the lookout for the most breathable bedding, but she also leads a wider team of testers to ensure our product testing encompasses both hot sleepers, cold sleepers, front sleepers, back sleepers, side sleepers, and everything in-between.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In her mission to unlock the secrets to a good night&#039;s sleep, Amy regularly attends product launches, speaks to industry insiders, spends time climbing on and off mattresses in showrooms across the country, and travels to visit factories and testing facilities – most recently the IKEA testing facility in Älmhult Sweden where the brand’s mattresses are put through vigorous testing processes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amy also lends her expertise to our furniture guides, sharing her design knowledge with our readers to help them choose the right sofa for their interior or the best garden furniture for their outside space.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before she joined &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;, Amy worked on branding and marketing at various interior and homeware brands, before joining the editorial teams at &lt;em&gt;Livingetc&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Real Homes&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gardeningetc&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;I stare at a screen a lot of the day at work, so somewhere immersed in nature and away from technology is my happy place; generally by water, woodland, or up a hill. I also love trying to bring the soothing effects of nature into my home with lots of plants, natural materials, textures, and nature-inspired colour schemes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;I definitely have a cushion addiction, to the extent I had to specifically look for a sofa that was deep enough to allow me to pile them up high! On the plus side they’re a super easy and affordable way to switch up your decor and refresh a bed or seating, and, obviously, really comfortable! On the downside I now have two blanket boxes filled with ‘spares’… That and houseplants, they seem to multiply fairly regularly too…&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Inspired by my favourite outdoor landscapes I’m planning on painting my desk green to make me feel like I’m outdoors even when I’m not.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Not so long ago the summer daylight seemed endless, and I'd almost forgotten where the light switches were in my bedroom. But now it's mid-September, the nights are definitely drawing in, and that can only mean one thing: it's bedside lamp season. </p><p>Luckily, the high street is awash with some *very* stylish lighting right now, and for AW26, it's all about turning your bedside table into a work of art. </p><p>Think sculptural shapes, tactile textures, and materials that make bedside lighting from M&S, John Lewis, and H&M look more like it's high-end designer than high street. </p><a href="https://www.westelm.co.uk/louis-table-lamp-h12088" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><figure class="van-image-figure

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>While the past few years favoured more angular sofa designs, more recently, sofas with curved and organic-inspired shapes have been rising in popularity. If you, too, have succumbed to the soft, relaxed and statement-making silhouettes then you’ve come to the right place for a curated shortlist of the best curved sofas I’ve tried and would recommend. </p><p>Over a year ago now, I wrote a piece about the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/curved-sofa-trend">curved sofa trend</a>. But what may have appeared as a potentially fleeting trend at first now seems like a look that’s here to stay. Especially since there are so many different ways you can embrace the curvy look when choosing your <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-sofas-242350">best sofa</a>.</p><p>‘We’ve seen a wider shift towards softer, more organic shapes across interiors, and sofas are a big part of that,’ says Monika Puccio, director of buying at <a href="https://sofaclub.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sofa Club</a>. ‘People still want comfort, but increasingly they also want their sofa to bring personality and visual interest to the room. </p><p>'That’s coming through in curved backs, rounded arms, asymmetrical forms and softer silhouettes. There’s often a retro influence, particularly from 1970s design, but the latest interpretations feel much more refined and contemporary.’</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce4d40-a6dd-11f1-a710-f7a20b1178c6">            <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-pleat-large-4-seater-lhf-chaise-end-sofa-ginger/p114957690" data-model-name="John Lewis Pleat Ginger Large 4 Seater Chaise End Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2xDtwLBqVnm2T6hcEYtZHb.jpg" alt="John Lewis Pleat Large 4 Seater Lhf Chaise End Sofa, Ginger"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>John Lewis</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Pleat Ginger Large 4 Seater Chaise End Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Art deco-inspired design<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 4-seat chaise; also available as 3-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W267cm x D182cm x H75cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Ginger, also available in 85 other colours, 18 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam and fibre filling with plastic legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>As soon as I first spotted the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/sofas/john-lewis-pleat-sofa">John Lewis Pleat sofa</a> last summer shortly ahead of its launch, I was smitten. With its pleated base and its curves, the design is inspired by the art deco movement but it still looks contemporary and unique - unlike any other sofa I've seen before or since. And it didn't disappoint even upon the sit test - the seat is comfortable with a good amount of support and the perfect depth and the curved, raised armrests feel cosy and cocooning.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Not many different sizes available to choose from </p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Unique, art-decor inspired design with a pleated base</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of made-to-order upholstery options</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Ready-made Ginger colourway can be delivered with 7 days</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce4e62-a6dd-11f1-8014-99f9bc4894e0">            <a href="https://www.castlery.com/uk/products/solari-performance-fabric-corner-sofa" data-model-name="Castlery Solari Performance Fabric Corner Sofa in Performance Margot Olive" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Mcm22wSfAoNKb9dbxwJwL.jpg" alt="Castlery, Solari Performance Fabric Corner Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Castlery</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Solari Performance Fabric Corner Sofa in Performance Margot Olive</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Curved corner sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Corner; also available as 3-seat, extended 3-seat, L-shape, single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W240cm x D240cm x H69cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> performance margot olive, performance maeve cream<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Plywood and engineered wood frame with feather, foam and fibre-filled cushions<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Castlery only launched in the UK last autumn which is when I had the pleasure of trying some of its most stylish sofas, including the Solari which instantly caught my eye with its uniquely curved design reminiscent of the Soho Home style. But it's priced much more affordably than the aforementioned luxury home brand. I love the speckled green upholstery finish which is also spill-resistant. And it's a curved design that can actually work placed against a wall or even in a corner unlike most curved sofas.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options to choose from </p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Delivery within two weeks</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Spill-resistant upholstery fabric</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce5182-a6dd-11f1-9756-bdd69d25f05d">            <a href="https://schplendid.com/products/lionel-three-seater" data-model-name="Schplendid Lionel Off Off White Lightweight Linen Three Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8SA39nNYEuxu3H6FAFgjZF.jpg" alt="Schplendid, Lionel Three Seater Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Schplendid</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Lionel Tawny Velvet Three Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Modular curved sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat with footstool, 4-seat L-shape, big L-shape, custom lay-outs<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W274cm x D100cm x H74cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 22 colours, 3 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Beech and plywood frame with bio-foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Although this sofa launched about a year ago - just as the sustainable sofa brand Schplendid did - I only got to experience it in person more recently in the brand's new London showroom. And it did not disappoint. The statement, 70s-inspired shape is very unique and earned the sofa a highly commended mention in the 'best sofa' category at the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/living-room/ideal-home-awards-2026-living-room-winners">Ideal Home Living Room Awards 2026</a>. The sofa is made only with natural and eco-friendly materials - and it's modular on top of that. It's not the softest sofa as it's more on the supportive side but it has a good bounce to it.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Low-profile design might not be ideal for someone with mobility issues</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Sustainable design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>All-natural materials</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Free delivery</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce4ed0-a6dd-11f1-8ccd-c5e528f3b9f1">            <a href="https://sofaclub.co.uk/products/carmen-soft-woven-texture-right-medium-corner-sofa-parchment-beige" data-model-name="Sofa Club Carmen Parchment Beige Medium Corner Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/EkSFAzSfSiQPKey4zoyqYA.jpg" alt="Sofa Club Carmen Soft Woven Texture Right Medium Corner Sofa - Parchment Beige"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Sofa Club</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Carmen Parchment Beige Medium Corner Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Next-day delivery curved sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> medium corner; also available as large corner, XL, large, medium, single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W292cm x D166cm x H74cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Parchment beige<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid hardwood frame with foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>I recently visited one of Sofa Club's large showrooms and the Carmen was the sofa design that stood out to me the most. It's the beautiful curved design which changes slightly based on the size and configuration of the style paired with the modular design that sold me on it. And the comfort levels are just perfect for my liking - not too soft or too hard but the ideal in-between balance.

But this design's ingenious benefits don't stop there. This sofa also comes with removable covers which can be changed and washed, as well as 'connect brackets' which allow for the backrest to be adjusted from an upright position to a more reclined one. A removable bolster headrest is also included in this package, as is the brand's 'Smart Pocket' design which allows for smart features like a charging side table to be synced.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia</p><p>- Higher price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Hidden internal storage</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable washable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Adjustable backrest with two different positions</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce5024-a6dd-11f1-bc52-29748d56c64c">            <a href="https://www.sofa.com/gb/bespoke-sofas/ren-modular-sofa/p/FMREN335BSTBRY" data-model-name="Sofa.com Ren Berry Brushstroke Modular Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.93%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/CYVED3yjMZhNHo7MUzroxU.jpg" alt="Sofa.com, Ren LHF Modular Sofa in Berry Brushstroke"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Sofa.com</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Ren Berry Brushstroke Modular Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Storage curved sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> chaise; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat, corner, single seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W335cm x D180cm x H89cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 70 colours, 25 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Feather and fibre topped foam cushions<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>As soon as I saw and tried Sofa.com’s Ren sofa IRL, I knew it was no coincidence it was awarded the best sofa winner in the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/ideal-home-living-room-award-winners-2024">Ideal Home 2024 Living Room Awards</a> when it first launched.

And the brand has a penchant for curved styles. The Oona is one of my favourites, although I find it a bit underrated as I haven't heard many people talking about it compared to other styles. The design is modular and super comfortable with feather-wrapped, deep seats and back and armrests that are just as soft and squishy. And the pleated-style base is the perfect cherry on top.  <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- High price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Super comfortable deep seats</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Made in the UK</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce4dea-a6dd-11f1-8327-0f01465d3535">            <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-lozenge-grand-5-seater-rhf-chaise-end-sofa-metal-leg/p6054158" data-model-name="John Lewis Lozenge Twisted Boucle Putty Grand 5 Seater Chaise End Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.93%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/V6Nt8fB7bgiamEPJ69d8t6.jpg" alt="John Lewis Lozenge Grand 5 Seater Rhf Chaise End Sofa, Metal Leg, Twisted Boucle Putty"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>John Lewis</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Lozenge Twisted Boucle Putty Grand 5 Seater Chaise End Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Airy raised-off-the-floor curved sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 5-seat chaise; also available as 3-seat and corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W264cm x D164cm x H80cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Putty, also available in 85 other colours, 18 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam cushions and metal legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>This John Lewis sofa really embraces its irregular, soft, organic shape. It's one that gives whoever sits (or lies) on it plenty of space. And it does that while looking very airy and light and not taking up too much visual space, owing to the slim, tapered metal legs the sofa is equipped with. It's not a soft and cushiony type of sofa but I appreciate the support it provided when I tried this sofa, without it being uncomfortable or hard whatsoever. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Irregular curved shape takes a lot of space which is not small living room-friendly</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of made-to-order upholstery options</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Unique curved design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Slim, tapered legs give an airy look</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee </li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce509c-a6dd-11f1-a288-df8e3b53ef2b">            <a href="https://www.castlery.com/uk/products/marlow-performance-boucle-l-shaped-sofa" data-model-name="Castlery Marlow Performance White Quartz Boucle L-Shaped Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/6S7pcvLEZkgQMJnLCqREP7.jpg" alt="Castlery, Marlow Performance Bouclé L-Shaped Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Castlery</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Marlow Performance White Quartz Boucle L-Shaped Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Curved sofa with a playful shape<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> L-shape; also available as chaise, 3-seat, 2-seat and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W254cm x D254cm x H76cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Performance white quartz boucle, Performance rust (ginger) infinity boucle<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Laminated veneer lumber and plywood frame with foam and fibre filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>I don't know about you but every time I look at this sofa I think of a croissant, and I love that about this style. When I got to test out this sofa in person, I was surprised at how much more comfortable it is than it looks. It's not necessarily a super deep-seated sofa for curling up and lounging, but this where the sofa makes up for the curved shape that would otherwise take up a whole lot of space. Just like many other Castlery sofas, this one, too, is modular and the upholstery is spill-resistant. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options to choose from</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Playful croissant-like shape</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Spill-resistant upholstery fabric</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce4fb6-a6dd-11f1-9dc5-6dfee93f506c">            <a href="https://www.kingliving.co.uk/shop/living/sofas/1977/1977-pkg-3-uk-v3" data-model-name="1977 Modular Sofa with Chaise in Leura Sandstone" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/w6u4QqicbSCKuPbj7ofomk.jpg" alt="King Living, 1977 Modular Sofa with Chaise in Leura Sandstone"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>King Living</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">1977 Modular Sofa with Chaise in Leura Sandstone</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Sofa with curved edges <br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat chaise; also available corner, curved corner, 3-seat, 2-seat, single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W264cm x D148.5cm x H71cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 27 colours, 5 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Steel frame with five layers of CFC-free foam and fibres<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>This is the modular sofa that I invested in for my own living room. And I couldn’t be happier with it. The design is definitely more modern but with a 1970s influence, boasting a low profile and a lightly curved shape which I think is perfect if you don't want to go overly curved but just a little bit around the edges. The ability to change the covers is a great benefit – I change mine for the different seasons as apart from various colourways, King Living also offers two different upholstery finishes. And while the Tempest fabric is perfect for the warmer months, the fuzzy teddy-like Leura is great for autumn and winter. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia – my sofa took almost three months to arrive</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable, washable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year steel frame warranty</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce510a-a6dd-11f1-9106-99ededa4eb1e">            <a href="https://www.westelm.co.uk/laurent-2-piece-wedge-chaise-sectional-h12004" data-model-name="West Elm Laurent Performance Marled Basketweave Camel 2-Piece Wedge Chaise Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/gFDEeaqrMFuKpQpcHrzjTf.jpg" alt="West Elm, Laurent Performance Marled Basketweave Camel 2-Piece Wedge Chaise Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>West Elm</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Laurent Performance Marled Basketweave Camel 2-Piece Wedge Chaise Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Curved sofa with clean lines<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Chaise<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W283cm x D201cm x H78cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Performance camel marled basketweave, Alabaster yarn dyed boucle<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid and engineered wood frame with fibre-wrapped, high-resiliency polyurethane foam cores<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>There's something very sleek and elevated about West Elm's Laurent sofa. Despite the curved design, the outlines of the sofa are very clean which in turn makes the design look extremely polished. This is definitely one for those that prefer a slightly firmer seat which I usually do - I don't necessarily want to sink into a sofa. If you're worried about fitting it through your entryway, fear not - the sofa separates into two sections which are held together alligator clips.  <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options to choose from</p><p>- Brand doesn't offer structural frame warranty</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Separates into two sections</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Sleek design</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce5268-a6dd-11f1-9536-83258d6a17e3">            <a href="https://www.andrewmartin.co.uk/sofas-and-chairs/sofas/custom-made-sofas/lunar-sofa" data-model-name="Andrew Martin Lunar Cable Ecru Custom Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/vBVDy8p97s8epLEMDPz6Dh.jpg" alt="Andrew Martin, Lunar Cable Ecru Custom Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Andrew Martin</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Lunar Cable Ecru Custom Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Curved sofa with many upholstery options<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W220cm x D112cm x H83cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 109 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid birch and beech hardwood frame with foam cushion filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>While the seat of Andrew Martin's Lunar sofa features a common curved sofa shape, it's the raised, plushly padded armrests which seamlessly turn into the backrest that make this piece stand out from the rest. Not to mention how comfortable and cocooning it is. There's a vintage-inspired quality to this sofa - while the brand cites the 60s and 70s as inspiration, I'd go even as far as the art deco era.

But if you choose the right design, a curved sofa can also be a great <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/living-room-ideas/small-living-room-ideas-87905">small living room idea</a>. ‘Curved sofas work particularly well in open-plan living spaces where the furniture can help define different zones. Rather than automatically positioning the sofa against a wall, placing a curved design more centrally can create a natural boundary between living, dining and kitchen areas while still keeping the overall space feeling open,’ Monika at Sofa Club says.</p><p>She continues, ‘They can also work beautifully in more compact rooms. You don’t necessarily need a huge space to embrace the trend – softer arms and rounded corners can introduce the look without requiring a dramatically curved sofa.’</p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-cons-of-curved-sofas"><span>Cons of curved sofas</span></h2><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="MVv4pR4VHENzsGQwEXgbp" name="Sofa trends 2025 James Merrell" alt="A terracotta red-painted living room with a curved blue velvet sofa" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MVv4pR4VHENzsGQwEXgbp-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/James Merrell)</span></figcaption></figure><p>As much as a curved sofa’s irregular shape is its major selling point, it’s also its biggest drawback. Especially if you’re dealing with a smaller space or are thinking long-term (as you should) about how this sofa shape might fit into your lounge if you were to move.</p><p>‘Curved sofas bring presence and warmth into a space, but they’re not one size fits all,’ starts Leah Howatson, general manager of international markets at <a href="https://www.castlery.com/uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Castlery</a>. ‘They don’t fit flush against a wall so naturally require a larger footprint, but where space allows, they can make a room feel everything from cosy to opulent. It's also worth thinking about longevity. A curve that anchors an open-plan living room may feel oversized in a smaller next home.’ </p><p>John at Darlings of Chelsea continues, ‘A curved sofa can be harder to position efficiently, particularly in smaller or unusually shaped rooms, and you may have fewer options when it comes to arranging other furniture around it. It’s worth considering the room’s proportions and layout carefully before choosing one.’</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="C5ExP6hTzs3iqXkH6rP7Uj" name="Modular sofas katie lee" alt="A white living room with a brown King Living 1977 modular sofa and a gallery wall" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/C5ExP6hTzs3iqXkH6rP7Uj-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/Katie Lee)</span></figcaption></figure><p>When choosing your next sofa it’s always important to think about what’s right for you, your aesthetic, your lifestyle and your living room.

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>While the past few years favoured more angular sofa designs, more recently, sofas with curved and organic-inspired shapes have been rising in popularity. If you, too, have succumbed to the soft, relaxed and statement-making silhouettes then you’ve come to the right place for a curated shortlist of the best curved sofas I’ve tried and would recommend. </p><p>Over a year ago now, I wrote a piece about the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/curved-sofa-trend">curved sofa trend</a>. But what may have appeared as a potentially fleeting trend at first now seems like a look that’s here to stay. Especially since there are so many different ways you can embrace the curvy look when choosing your <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-sofas-242350">best sofa</a>.</p><p>‘We’ve seen a wider shift towards softer, more organic shapes across interiors, and sofas are a big part of that,’ says Monika Puccio, director of buying at <a href="https://sofaclub.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sofa Club</a>. ‘People still want comfort, but increasingly they also want their sofa to bring personality and visual interest to the room. </p><p>'That’s coming through in curved backs, rounded arms, asymmetrical forms and softer silhouettes. There’s often a retro influence, particularly from 1970s design, but the latest interpretations feel much more refined and contemporary.’</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce4d40-a6dd-11f1-a710-f7a20b1178c6">            <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-pleat-large-4-seater-lhf-chaise-end-sofa-ginger/p114957690" data-model-name="John Lewis Pleat Ginger Large 4 Seater Chaise End Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2xDtwLBqVnm2T6hcEYtZHb.jpg" alt="John Lewis Pleat Large 4 Seater Lhf Chaise End Sofa, Ginger"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>John Lewis</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Pleat Ginger Large 4 Seater Chaise End Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Art deco-inspired design<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 4-seat chaise; also available as 3-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W267cm x D182cm x H75cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Ginger, also available in 85 other colours, 18 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam and fibre filling with plastic legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>As soon as I first spotted the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/sofas/john-lewis-pleat-sofa">John Lewis Pleat sofa</a> last summer shortly ahead of its launch, I was smitten. With its pleated base and its curves, the design is inspired by the art deco movement but it still looks contemporary and unique - unlike any other sofa I've seen before or since. And it didn't disappoint even upon the sit test - the seat is comfortable with a good amount of support and the perfect depth and the curved, raised armrests feel cosy and cocooning.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Not many different sizes available to choose from </p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Unique, art-decor inspired design with a pleated base</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of made-to-order upholstery options</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Ready-made Ginger colourway can be delivered with 7 days</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce4e62-a6dd-11f1-8014-99f9bc4894e0">            <a href="https://www.castlery.com/uk/products/solari-performance-fabric-corner-sofa" data-model-name="Castlery Solari Performance Fabric Corner Sofa in Performance Margot Olive" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Mcm22wSfAoNKb9dbxwJwL.jpg" alt="Castlery, Solari Performance Fabric Corner Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Castlery</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Solari Performance Fabric Corner Sofa in Performance Margot Olive</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Curved corner sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Corner; also available as 3-seat, extended 3-seat, L-shape, single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W240cm x D240cm x H69cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> performance margot olive, performance maeve cream<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Plywood and engineered wood frame with feather, foam and fibre-filled cushions<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Castlery only launched in the UK last autumn which is when I had the pleasure of trying some of its most stylish sofas, including the Solari which instantly caught my eye with its uniquely curved design reminiscent of the Soho Home style. But it's priced much more affordably than the aforementioned luxury home brand. I love the speckled green upholstery finish which is also spill-resistant. And it's a curved design that can actually work placed against a wall or even in a corner unlike most curved sofas.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options to choose from </p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Delivery within two weeks</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Spill-resistant upholstery fabric</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce5182-a6dd-11f1-9756-bdd69d25f05d">            <a href="https://schplendid.com/products/lionel-three-seater" data-model-name="Schplendid Lionel Off Off White Lightweight Linen Three Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8SA39nNYEuxu3H6FAFgjZF.jpg" alt="Schplendid, Lionel Three Seater Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Schplendid</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Lionel Tawny Velvet Three Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Modular curved sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat with footstool, 4-seat L-shape, big L-shape, custom lay-outs<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W274cm x D100cm x H74cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 22 colours, 3 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Beech and plywood frame with bio-foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Although this sofa launched about a year ago - just as the sustainable sofa brand Schplendid did - I only got to experience it in person more recently in the brand's new London showroom. And it did not disappoint. The statement, 70s-inspired shape is very unique and earned the sofa a highly commended mention in the 'best sofa' category at the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/living-room/ideal-home-awards-2026-living-room-winners">Ideal Home Living Room Awards 2026</a>. The sofa is made only with natural and eco-friendly materials - and it's modular on top of that. It's not the softest sofa as it's more on the supportive side but it has a good bounce to it.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Low-profile design might not be ideal for someone with mobility issues</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Sustainable design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>All-natural materials</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Free delivery</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce4ed0-a6dd-11f1-8ccd-c5e528f3b9f1">            <a href="https://sofaclub.co.uk/products/carmen-soft-woven-texture-right-medium-corner-sofa-parchment-beige" data-model-name="Sofa Club Carmen Parchment Beige Medium Corner Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/EkSFAzSfSiQPKey4zoyqYA.jpg" alt="Sofa Club Carmen Soft Woven Texture Right Medium Corner Sofa - Parchment Beige"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Sofa Club</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Carmen Parchment Beige Medium Corner Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Next-day delivery curved sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> medium corner; also available as large corner, XL, large, medium, single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W292cm x D166cm x H74cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Parchment beige<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid hardwood frame with foam filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>I recently visited one of Sofa Club's large showrooms and the Carmen was the sofa design that stood out to me the most. It's the beautiful curved design which changes slightly based on the size and configuration of the style paired with the modular design that sold me on it. And the comfort levels are just perfect for my liking - not too soft or too hard but the ideal in-between balance.

Launched only earlier this year, this is one of the very few <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/sofas/storage-sofas">storage sofas</a> that also feel comfortable to sit and lie on I've tried. But this design's ingenious benefits don't stop there. This sofa also comes with removable covers which can be changed and washed, as well as 'connect brackets' which allow for the backrest to be adjusted from an upright position to a more reclined one. A removable bolster headrest is also included in this package, as is the brand's 'Smart Pocket' design which allows for smart features like a charging side table to be synced.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia</p><p>- Higher price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Hidden internal storage</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable washable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Adjustable backrest with two different positions</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce5024-a6dd-11f1-bc52-29748d56c64c">            <a href="https://www.sofa.com/gb/bespoke-sofas/ren-modular-sofa/p/FMREN335BSTBRY" data-model-name="Sofa.com Ren Berry Brushstroke Modular Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.93%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/CYVED3yjMZhNHo7MUzroxU.jpg" alt="Sofa.com, Ren LHF Modular Sofa in Berry Brushstroke"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Sofa.com</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Ren Berry Brushstroke Modular Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Storage curved sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> chaise; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat, corner, single seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W335cm x D180cm x H89cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 70 colours, 25 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Feather and fibre topped foam cushions<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>As soon as I saw and tried Sofa.com’s Ren sofa IRL, I knew it was no coincidence it was awarded the best sofa winner in the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/ideal-home-living-room-award-winners-2024">Ideal Home 2024 Living Room Awards</a> when it first launched.

And the brand has a penchant for curved styles. The Oona is one of my favourites, although I find it a bit underrated as I haven't heard many people talking about it compared to other styles. The design is modular and super comfortable with feather-wrapped, deep seats and back and armrests that are just as soft and squishy. And the pleated-style base is the perfect cherry on top.  <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- High price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Super comfortable deep seats</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Made in the UK</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce4dea-a6dd-11f1-8327-0f01465d3535">            <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-lozenge-grand-5-seater-rhf-chaise-end-sofa-metal-leg/p6054158" data-model-name="John Lewis Lozenge Twisted Boucle Putty Grand 5 Seater Chaise End Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.93%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/V6Nt8fB7bgiamEPJ69d8t6.jpg" alt="John Lewis Lozenge Grand 5 Seater Rhf Chaise End Sofa, Metal Leg, Twisted Boucle Putty"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>John Lewis</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Lozenge Twisted Boucle Putty Grand 5 Seater Chaise End Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Airy raised-off-the-floor curved sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 5-seat chaise; also available as 3-seat and corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W264cm x D164cm x H80cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Putty, also available in 85 other colours, 18 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam cushions and metal legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>This John Lewis sofa really embraces its irregular, soft, organic shape. It's one that gives whoever sits (or lies) on it plenty of space. And it does that while looking very airy and light and not taking up too much visual space, owing to the slim, tapered metal legs the sofa is equipped with. It's not a soft and cushiony type of sofa but I appreciate the support it provided when I tried this sofa, without it being uncomfortable or hard whatsoever. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Irregular curved shape takes a lot of space which is not small living room-friendly</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of made-to-order upholstery options</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Unique curved design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Slim, tapered legs give an airy look</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee </li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce509c-a6dd-11f1-a288-df8e3b53ef2b">            <a href="https://www.castlery.com/uk/products/marlow-performance-boucle-l-shaped-sofa" data-model-name="Castlery Marlow Performance White Quartz Boucle L-Shaped Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/6S7pcvLEZkgQMJnLCqREP7.jpg" alt="Castlery, Marlow Performance Bouclé L-Shaped Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Castlery</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Marlow Performance White Quartz Boucle L-Shaped Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Curved sofa with a playful shape<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> L-shape; also available as chaise, 3-seat, 2-seat and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W254cm x D254cm x H76cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Performance white quartz boucle, Performance rust (ginger) infinity boucle<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Laminated veneer lumber and plywood frame with foam and fibre filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>I don't know about you but every time I look at this sofa I think of a croissant, and I love that about this style. When I got to test out this sofa in person, I was surprised at how much more comfortable it is than it looks. It's not necessarily a super deep-seated sofa for curling up and lounging, but this where the sofa makes up for the curved shape that would otherwise take up a whole lot of space.

And I couldn’t be happier with it. The design is definitely more modern but with a 1970s influence, boasting a low profile and a lightly curved shape which I think is perfect if you don't want to go overly curved but just a little bit around the edges. The ability to change the covers is a great benefit – I change mine for the different seasons as apart from various colourways, King Living also offers two different upholstery finishes. And while the Tempest fabric is perfect for the warmer months, the fuzzy teddy-like Leura is great for autumn and winter. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia – my sofa took almost three months to arrive</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable, washable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year steel frame warranty</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce510a-a6dd-11f1-9106-99ededa4eb1e">            <a href="https://www.westelm.co.uk/laurent-2-piece-wedge-chaise-sectional-h12004" data-model-name="West Elm Laurent Performance Marled Basketweave Camel 2-Piece Wedge Chaise Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/gFDEeaqrMFuKpQpcHrzjTf.jpg" alt="West Elm, Laurent Performance Marled Basketweave Camel 2-Piece Wedge Chaise Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>West Elm</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Laurent Performance Marled Basketweave Camel 2-Piece Wedge Chaise Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Curved sofa with clean lines<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Chaise<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W283cm x D201cm x H78cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Performance camel marled basketweave, Alabaster yarn dyed boucle<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid and engineered wood frame with fibre-wrapped, high-resiliency polyurethane foam cores<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>There's something very sleek and elevated about West Elm's Laurent sofa. Despite the curved design, the outlines of the sofa are very clean which in turn makes the design look extremely polished. This is definitely one for those that prefer a slightly firmer seat which I usually do - I don't necessarily want to sink into a sofa. If you're worried about fitting it through your entryway, fear not - the sofa separates into two sections which are held together alligator clips.  <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options to choose from</p><p>- Brand doesn't offer structural frame warranty</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Separates into two sections</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Sleek design</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a4ce5268-a6dd-11f1-9536-83258d6a17e3">            <a href="https://www.andrewmartin.co.uk/sofas-and-chairs/sofas/custom-made-sofas/lunar-sofa" data-model-name="Andrew Martin Lunar Cable Ecru Custom Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/vBVDy8p97s8epLEMDPz6Dh.jpg" alt="Andrew Martin, Lunar Cable Ecru Custom Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Andrew Martin</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Lunar Cable Ecru Custom Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Curved sofa with many upholstery options<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W220cm x D112cm x H83cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 109 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid birch and beech hardwood frame with foam cushion filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>While the seat of Andrew Martin's Lunar sofa features a common curved sofa shape, it's the raised, plushly padded armrests which seamlessly turn into the backrest that make this piece stand out from the rest. Not to mention how comfortable and cocooning it is. There's a vintage-inspired quality to this sofa - while the brand cites the 60s and 70s as inspiration, I'd go even as far as the art deco era.

You don’t necessarily need a huge space to embrace the trend – softer arms and rounded corners can introduce the look without requiring a dramatically curved sofa.’</p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-cons-of-curved-sofas"><span>Cons of curved sofas</span></h2><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="MVv4pR4VHENzsGQwEXgbp" name="Sofa trends 2025 James Merrell" alt="A terracotta red-painted living room with a curved blue velvet sofa" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MVv4pR4VHENzsGQwEXgbp-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/James Merrell)</span></figcaption></figure><p>As much as a curved sofa’s irregular shape is its major selling point, it’s also its biggest drawback. Especially if you’re dealing with a smaller space or are thinking long-term (as you should) about how this sofa shape might fit into your lounge if you were to move.</p><p>‘Curved sofas bring presence and warmth into a space, but they’re not one size fits all,’ starts Leah Howatson, general manager of international markets at <a href="https://www.castlery.com/uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Castlery</a>. ‘They don’t fit flush against a wall so naturally require a larger footprint, but where space allows, they can make a room feel everything from cosy to opulent. It's also worth thinking about longevity. A curve that anchors an open-plan living room may feel oversized in a smaller next home.’ </p><p>John at Darlings of Chelsea continues, ‘A curved sofa can be harder to position efficiently, particularly in smaller or unusually shaped rooms, and you may have fewer options when it comes to arranging other furniture around it. It’s worth considering the room’s proportions and layout carefully before choosing one.’</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="C5ExP6hTzs3iqXkH6rP7Uj" name="Modular sofas katie lee" alt="A white living room with a brown King Living 1977 modular sofa and a gallery wall" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/C5ExP6hTzs3iqXkH6rP7Uj-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/Katie Lee)</span></figcaption></figure><p>When choosing your next sofa it’s always important to think about what’s right for you, your aesthetic, your lifestyle and your living room.

It's not that we don't love our kids, but it's been a long, sweaty summer, and it would be fair to say that not having to fork out for yet another club to keep our kids occupied, while we juggle work, housework and the rest, is a welcome relief.<br><br>With the prospect of reclaiming all that extra time and money, we can finally turn our attention to a slightly neglected area of our lives all summer - our homes. Yes, we might have been using our gardens and balconies loads, but step inside, and everything has become a little chaotic with all the comings and goings. So this monthly round-up of the best buys for £20 and under couldn't be more perfectly timed.<br><br>Every month, I have the enviable job of scouring all the high street stores and independents to find you the very best that £20 (or less) can buy you. Everything from vases to tableware, cushions and bedlinen, lighting and accessories is covered, and there's not a single thing on this list that I wouldn't personally buy myself.<br><br>This month, there's something for everyone - a smart new <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/black-blum-cooler-lunch-bag-6-7l/moss-green/p112736645" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Black + Blum lunchbag from John Lewis</a> for the new season, a <a href="https://hugrug.co.uk/products/bright-broken-stripe-coir" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">beautifully colourful doormat from HugRug</a> to perk up your doorstep and some oh-so-chic <a href="https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/2pk-embroidered-cloth-napkins-taupe-991182636606" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">napkins from Primark </a>that are an absolute steal at just £5 for two.<br><br>So consider this your first homework of term: make yourself a cuppa (biscuit optional), find somewhere comfortable to sit and take your time looking through the list below.

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Ginevra Benedetti has been the Deputy Editor of &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; magazine since 2021, having first joined the team in 2011. She currently oversees the publication of the brand’s magazine each month, editing, writing and commissioning, from planning through to publication. With a career in magazines spanning nearly twenty years, she has worked for the majority of the UK’s interiors magazines and websites, both as staff and as a freelancer. Just some of the other brands she has written for include &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens, Livingetc, Country Homes &amp; Interiors, Good Homes&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gardeningetc.com&lt;/em&gt;. She has been fortunate enough to have interviewed some of the most talented designers in the business and she&#039;s written about pretty much every area of the home - from shopping and decorating, appliances and home tech, wallpaper and fabric, kitchens and bathrooms, even extensions and conversions.  Having lived in London for over 20 years, she recently moved north and now calls Glasgow home. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can be terribly indecisive… so I’ll go with two! In winter, it’s in the living room curled up on the sofa with a fire going. In Summer, it’s most definitely in our sun-trapped garden. With a few friends over, kids playing on the trampoline, cooking up all sorts on the barbecue, with a glass of something cold in my hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have so many! Scented candles for one. The smoky, musky scents. I’m really not keen on overly floral smells. I’m also a sucker for smart tech and home automation. I do like geeking out on how clever some of the latest tech can be and integrating it into my home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ve just bought a couple of tins of Farrow &amp; Ball’s Studio Green as I plan to repaint my office walls. It’s a really deep shade, but the room gets loads of natural light as it’s at the top of the house, so the colour will lighten up considerably. Once painted, I’ll probably add a simple shelf for some plants and things and some framed pictures. I tend to decorate in stages. I do a little, live with it.. and then tweak. Another result of my indecisiveness!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>It's back-to-school season, and while that might fill most children with dread, the parents among us will be (shush) quietly delighted. It's not that we don't love our kids, but it's been a long, sweaty summer, and it would be fair to say that not having to fork out for yet another club to keep our kids occupied, while we juggle work, housework and the rest, is a welcome relief.<br><br>With the prospect of reclaiming all that extra time and money, we can finally turn our attention to a slightly neglected area of our lives all summer - our homes. Yes, we might have been using our gardens and balconies loads, but step inside, and everything has become a little chaotic with all the comings and goings. So this monthly round-up of the best buys for £20 and under couldn't be more perfectly timed.<br><br>Every month, I have the enviable job of scouring all the high street stores and independents to find you the very best that £20 (or less) can buy you. Everything from vases to tableware, cushions and bedlinen, lighting and accessories is covered, and there's not a single thing on this list that I wouldn't personally buy myself.<br><br>This month, there's something for everyone - a smart new <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/black-blum-cooler-lunch-bag-6-7l/moss-green/p112736645" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Black + Blum lunchbag from John Lewis</a> for the new season, a <a href="https://hugrug.co.uk/products/bright-broken-stripe-coir" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">beautifully colourful doormat from HugRug</a> to perk up your doorstep and some oh-so-chic <a href="https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/2pk-embroidered-cloth-napkins-taupe-991182636606" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">napkins from Primark </a>that are an absolute steal at just £5 for two.<br><br>So consider this your first homework of term: make yourself a cuppa (biscuit optional), find somewhere comfortable to sit and take your time looking through the list below. And should you find something you love? Top marks go to you...</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="100e89be-a85d-11f1-bf3f-034e935e7b68">            <a

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Molly is &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&#039;s&lt;/em&gt; Kitchen Appliances Editor and Certified Expert on Appliances and Cookware. Since she started testing products four years ago, she has evaluated hundreds of small appliances in both controlled test environments at the Ideal Home test facility and in her own kitchen, giving her insight into what &lt;em&gt;actually&lt;/em&gt; works for home cooks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since joining in 2022, she&#039;s worked to apply real-world testing to every piece of kitchen-related buying advice you see on the website, which has involved reviewing everything from ice-cream makers to mixing bowls. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While her expertise spans everything you would want to hand in a kitchen, she&#039;s particularly known on the team for her comprehensive knowledge of air fryers, having systematically tested pretty much every model released since 2022. She’s tested bestselling products from the biggest names in coffee machines and cooking appliances, including the likes of Ninja, De’Longhi, Sage, Breville, Russell Hobbs and more. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To stay ahead of the next must-have kitchen buy, Molly regularly immerses herself in the world of kitchen technology, from exploring the research and testing facilities of industry leaders like Ninja Kitchen to attending cooking classes with Le Creuset and heading off to major consumer shows like IFA in Berlin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Her hands-on approach and deep technical understanding allow her to spot not just what&#039;s new, but what&#039;s actually going to make a difference in your home when it comes to new kitchen tech. Before joining her treasured &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;, she developed her expertise whilst working on the editorial teams for &lt;em&gt;Real Homes, Homes &amp; Gardens, and Livingetc.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;The beach! I love finding a great new beach but I have a real soft spot for UK ones (rain or shine!) so I&#039;ll pick one either in my hometown of Bournemouth or in Cornwall. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kitchen gadgets are my ultimate home addiction, even outside of work time. Luckily I have a section of floor-to-ceiling open shelving in my flat where I can stash my favourites, but I still find myself overflowing with sourdough jars and herb keepers. It&#039;s a great perk of the job!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;I need to find a way to display my cast-iron cookware stylishly. The farmhouse-style kitchen of my dreams with open shelving is off the cards for now, so I&#039;m looking for a way to replicate the look in my rental kitchen for a bit less.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>It can't just be me who thinks that your chosen crockery makes <em>so</em> much difference to how your food tastes. For me, every dinner not eaten out of a plate bowl (also known as a pasta bowl or even a blate, in some circles) is an opportunity missed.</p><p>By definition, these dishes have wide, flat bottom surfaces combined with raised curved edges. It makes them deliciously suited to saucier dishes – noodles, pasta and bakes – as well as suitable for foods that need to be cut on a level surface. </p><p>Plate bowls are a <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/kitchen/kitchen-trends-halfway-through-2026">kitchen trend</a> with serious staying power, with all of the most fashionable homeware brands buying into this viral hybrid product. From my favourite at-home pick from <a href="https://fromourplace.co.uk/products/dinner-bowls" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Our Place (of Always Pan fame)</a> to my dream kitchen pick from <a href="https://uk.fable.com/products/pasta-bowl" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fable Home,</a> these are the pasta bowls that are on my radar for 2026 and beyond.

But mid-century style sofas are one of those rare styles that have stood the test of time – and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.  </p><p>Mid-century sofas’ timelessness and versatility makes them one of the most popular and <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-sofas-242350">best sofa</a> categories for most styles of living rooms. They’re largely defined by a simple, functional design with clean lines, small footprint and tapered legs.</p><p>‘Mid-century furniture originated in a post-war era where simplicity and function were prioritised over the heavily ornate fashions of previous decades,’ explains Leah Howatson, general manager for international markets at <a href="https://www.castlery.com/uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Castlery</a>. ‘That philosophy is exactly what has kept it so popular today, but its resurgence now also comes down to versatility. Rooted in minimalism, the less-is-more approach still resonates with people today. A mid-century sofa is a low-risk choice for anyone designing their home around pieces that will outlast a passing trend.’</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402502-9d6e-11f1-a0d4-d94e0d4b8102">            <a href="https://swyfthome.com/products/model-02-3-seater-sofa-airforce" data-model-name="Swyft Model 02 Airforce 3-Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Sizipnb6h9fqmnAV4VqynJ.jpg" alt="Swyft, Model 02 3-Seater Sofa, Airforce"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Swyft</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Model 02 Airforce 3-Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Fast delivery<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat with ottoman, 2-seat with ottoman, loveseat, sofa bed<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W205cm x D85cm x H83cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 27 colours, 7 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid wood plinth and legs with 50% crumbed foam and 50% hollow fibre cushioning<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>For me, this is a very quintessentially mid-century style sofa if there ever was one. Clean angular lines, not a very deep seat which encourages a more upright (and somewhat formal) position and tapered wooden legs in dark wood. The sofa also comes with an exposed wooden plinth base which matches the legs. It's a very stylish sofa but the feel of it is not very soft, it's more on the supportive side.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- A very upright sit, not the best sofa for lounging</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Can be delivered in 24 hours</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Comes with two coordinating bolster cushions</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402494-9d6e-11f1-afb0-25f0b43f1eb9">            <a href="https://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/soho-range-pview" data-model-name="Darlings of Chelsea Soho Large Sofa in Vintage Velvet Crocodile" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/FcB78mKagMNTcCi3UgqLX6.jpg" alt="Darlings of Chelsea, Soho Large Sofa in Vintage Velvet Crocodile"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Darlings of Chelsea</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Soho Large Sofa in Vintage Velvet Crocodile</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Comfortable mid-century sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Large; also available as medium, loveseat, extra large and sofa bed<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W222cm x D103cm x H87cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 170 colours, 29 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Hardwood frame with A foam core and a soft fibre wrap<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>The main downside of most mid-century sofas is that they're not the most lounge-ready and the most comfy sofas out there. But that's not the case with the Soho sofa from Darlings of Chelsea. This sofa manages to balance the sleek mid-century look of clean lines, a simple silhouette and tapered wooden legs with high levels of comfort as the seat is decently deep and the removable seat, back and armrest cushions are nice and soft. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Higher price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Handmade to order in the UK</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime guarantee</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402642-9d6e-11f1-953b-d938001782d6">            <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-barbican-5-seater-corner-sofa/p747056?ab863=barbican&fabricSku=111705960" data-model-name="John Lewis Barbican Aquaclean Aston Natural 5+ Seater Corner Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/siQ4Qc5d99Wp7szrPrkmUP.jpg" alt="John Lewis Barbican 5+ Seater Corner Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>John Lewis</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Barbican Aquaclean Aston Natural 5+ Seater Corner Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Corner mid-century sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 5-seat corner; also available as small 2-seat, medium 2-seat, large 3-seat, grand 4-seat, sofa bed<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W256cm x D98cm x H90cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 85 colours, 18 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Fibre-wrapped foam seat and fibre back with wooden legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>There aren't many mid-century style corner sofas out there. Named after one of the biggest icons of midcentury design and brutalist architecture, the Barbican centre in London, this sofa is one of the few corner mid-century styles - but it has a lot more going for it than that. This is one of the very few mid-century sofas that made me want to lounge and curl up thanks to the decently deep seats - as most of the others encourage a more formal upright sit. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- 12-week delivery lead time</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Deep seats</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e94026ce-9d6e-11f1-b4d8-e5fad489a0e8">            <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/8863524" data-model-name="Habitat Julien Navy Blue Velvet 2 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hAXHYzSuuHYfmv3ox3bpGe.jpg" alt="Habitat Julien Velvet 2 Seater Sofa - Navy Blue"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Habitat</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Julien Navy Blue Velvet 2 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Budget mid-century style<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2-seat; also available as 3-seat, 4-seat and corner chaise<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W180cm x D97cm x H83cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Navy, Dark green, Natural, Charcoal, Orange, Tan faux leather<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam seat filling with fibre cushion filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If you're working with a more limited budget, this is one of the best affordable sofas you could get - and it also happens to feature a mid-century-inspired look. And for the price, this is one comfortable sofa. The fixed fibre-wrapped foam seats are on the slightly firmer side but it still has a good amount of squish and seat depth. The low armrests are well-padded and the perfect head height for naps, while the slim black metal legs perfectly balance out the bulkier seats.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited choice of upholstery options</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Affordable price point</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Comfortable deep seats</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e940273c-9d6e-11f1-a386-17bacea42e8c">            <a href="https://www.sofa.com/gb/bespoke-sofas/jack-sofa/p/FSMDX130VELJMG" data-model-name="Sofa.com Jack 3 Seat Sofa in Multi Green Lattice Velvet" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/45XZ3Baox5q2SBbuKJPxp4.jpg" alt="Sofa.com, Jack 3 Seat Sofa in Multi Green Lattice Velvet"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Sofa.com</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Jack 3 Seat Sofa in Multi Green Lattice Velvet</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Patterned mid-century style<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat and sofa bed<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W200cm x D94cm x H91cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 125 colours, 33 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam seat filling with fibre back cushion filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>The Jack sofa, created in partnership with Jack Wills, is Sofa.com's most affordable sofa and also one of its most popular designs. You'd be hard pressed to find a sofa like this for under £500 anywhere else. But this sofa is also the perfect example of mid-century style with tall tapered legs and lightly curved armrests. I'm a big fan of the retro-inspired print it comes in, while many other upholstery options are available, too. It's not the most comfortable and squishy sofa I've tried as it's more on the supportive, formal side. But I still liked it very much when I tested it.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Only 2-year frame guarantee</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Budget-friendly price point</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options to choose from</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402804-9d6e-11f1-a7ae-4f9c2b5c4fd5">            <a href="https://www.sohohome.com/products/atlanta-sofa/79921302" data-model-name="Soho Home Atlanta Olive Velvet 4 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/gxCeqYUnXBJHUi2Pj8tUTL.jpg" alt="Soho Home, Atlanta Four Seater Sofa, Velvet, Olive"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Soho Home</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Atlanta Olive Velvet 4 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Exposed frame mid-century style sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 4-seat; also available as 3-seat and loveseat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W250cm x D87cm x H80cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 18 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid oak frame with rattan panelling and foam, fibre and feather filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If you're after high levels of style then Soho Home, the homeware and furniture brand behind Soho House, never disappoints. The Atlanta sofa is a beautifully executed example of a style of mid-century sofas that we don't see that often these days anymore. It's based on an exposed wooden frame with slim wooden armrests that are also bench-like. It comes with a spindle back, rattan panels on the sides and it's upholstered in sumptuous velvet covering soft seat and back cushions filled with a mix of feather, fibre and foam. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Higher price point</p><p>- Long delivery lead times, up to 16 weeks</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Stylish design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Slim armrests make it perfect for small living rooms</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>High upholstery rub count</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402570-9d6e-11f1-b936-9d1558b4b2dd">            <a href="https://swyfthome.com/products/model-10-3-seater-sofa-bronze" data-model-name="Swyft Model 10 Bronze 3-Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/rqeh6DrGHTMmWTbvvhwmgc.jpg" alt="Swyft, Model 10 3-Seater Sofa, Bronze"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Swyft</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Model 10 Bronze 3-Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Sofa in a box<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat with ottoman, 2-seat with ottoman, sofa bed and loveseat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W213cm x D87cm x H79cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 25 colours, 7 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid ash wood plinth with wooden legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Just like any other Swyft sofa, Model 10, too, can be with you within 24 hours - as the brand offers such fast delivery - and it comes compactly flat-packed in a box so if you have a narrow entrance, you can rest assured it will fit. The feel of this sofa is more bouncy than soft ut it's by no means hard or uncomfortable. As with most mid-century style sofas, the seat is rather narrow so it's for a more upright sit.

Aside from the wide range of colours of leather you can choose from, the biggest standout feature for me is the partly exposed wooden frame which extends into legs. It's a beautiful combination and layering of textures. And while it's a super stylish sofa, it's also very comfortable with a good amount of squish in the cushions.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Existing customers have noted the odd and very obvious placement of seams on the cushions</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Available in a range of colours of leather to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Stylish design which mixes materials</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402872-9d6e-11f1-9fba-dd38a6446289">            <a href="https://www.heals.com/products/outline-3-seater-sofa?variant=53414472057165" data-model-name="Muuto Outline 3 Seater Sofa in Refine Leather Cognac" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UH47jf9zTgnbrafR9JQczY.jpg" alt="Muuto Outline 3 Seater Sofa - Refine Leather Cognac / Black"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Muuto</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Outline 3 Seater Sofa in Refine Leather Cognac</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Luxury mid-century style sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, corner chaise and corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W220cm x D84cm x H71cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Cognac leather, Black leather, Light grey, Dark green, Dark grey, Dark blue<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Wood and steel frame with powder-coated aluminium legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>There are several sofa styles from Muuto that I rate highly, but in terms of mid-century sofas, it's all about the Outline. It features a very obviously Scandi take on the mid-century look and is perfect for smaller spaces with its airy, raised-off-the-ground design. This is a high quality sofa that will last for many years to come.

But it deserves its spotlight as it's perfect for more compact living rooms and city flats, given its sleek shape that gives a hint of mid-century inspiration but made contemporary. In fact, the founder of King Living, David King himself has revealed to me that he has the Neo sofa in his own flat when I interviewed him. And as with any King Living sofa, one of the biggest benefits are the removable and washable covers.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable and interchangeable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of colours and fabrics to choose from</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e94028d6-9d6e-11f1-9fb9-d716748953d3">            <a href="https://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/shoreditch-range-pview" data-model-name="Darlings of Chelsea Shoreditch 2.5 Seater Sofa in Stain Resistant Chenille Auburn Dust" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/sQhiwb84VjQjEuH8Zn8tVf.jpg" alt="Darlings of Chelsea, Shoreditch 2.5 Seater Sofa in Stain Resistant Chenille Auburn Dust"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Darlings of Chelsea</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Shoreditch 2.5 Seater Sofa in Stain Resistant Chenille Auburn Dust</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Wide range of upholstery choices and sizes<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2.5-seat; loveseat, 2-seat, 3-seat, loveseat chaise, 2-seat chaise, 2.5-seat chaise, 3-seat chaise, U shape, large corner and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W190cm x D102cm x H90cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 170 colours, 29 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Hard-wood frame with a foam core and soft fibre wrap<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Darlings of Chelsea is the master of customisation - pretty much anything you ask for, the brand can do for you. For a price, of course. And Darlings of Chelsea brings this approach to its stylish, mid-century style Shoreditch sofa, too. Available in over 170 upholstery options, the design comes with two coordinating bolster cushions and tapered wooden legs. And while this 2.5-seater is a great all-rounder, I also love that the Shoreditch comes in so many different sizes, including single-seat modules (unusual when it comes to mid-century sofas) and a large U-shape sofa. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Higher price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>A very customisable design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime frame guarantee</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e940293a-9d6e-11f1-b7b2-cdf98872fe1b">            <a href="https://www.westelm.co.uk/pierce-ward-bentwood-sofa-h13630" data-model-name="West Elm x Pierce & Ward Bentwood Deluxe Velvet Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2i4ktFjUA6Ubfc6VXMmsyA.jpg" alt="West Elm x Pierce & Ward, Bentwood Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>West Elm x Pierce & Ward</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Bentwood Deluxe Velvet Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Small spaces<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W122cm x D80cm x H88cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 170 colours, 29 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Kiln-dried FSC-certified solid and engineered wood frame with fibre-wrapped polyurethane foam core cushioning<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>To say that I'm obsessed with everything from West Elm's collaboration with the interior design duo behind Pierce & Ward would not be an understatement. And that, of course, includes this chic sofa. The mid-century design inspiration is apparent through the walnut-finish curved wooden armrests which extend into tapered legs. And the curve of the armrests is beautifully mirrored in the curve of the backrest, too. But this piece is also super practical and handy if you're not working with a lot of space as it takes up next to nothing.  <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Only one size available</p><p>- Only one upholstery option available</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Compact design, doesn't take up a lot of space</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Made with sustainably sourced wood</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Created in collaboration with renowned interior designers </li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-why-should-you-buy-a-mid-century-sofa"><span>Why should you buy a mid-century sofa?</span></h2><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-versatility"><span>Versatility</span></h3><p>A mid-century style sofa is one of the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/living-room-decor/mid-century-living-room-recipe">things every mid-century living room has in common</a>.

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>There are very few styles of sofas that can truly be called timeless and which have stayed relevant for more than 70 years. But mid-century style sofas are one of those rare styles that have stood the test of time – and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.  </p><p>Mid-century sofas’ timelessness and versatility makes them one of the most popular and <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-sofas-242350">best sofa</a> categories for most styles of living rooms. They’re largely defined by a simple, functional design with clean lines, small footprint and tapered legs.</p><p>‘Mid-century furniture originated in a post-war era where simplicity and function were prioritised over the heavily ornate fashions of previous decades,’ explains Leah Howatson, general manager for international markets at <a href="https://www.castlery.com/uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Castlery</a>. ‘That philosophy is exactly what has kept it so popular today, but its resurgence now also comes down to versatility. Rooted in minimalism, the less-is-more approach still resonates with people today. A mid-century sofa is a low-risk choice for anyone designing their home around pieces that will outlast a passing trend.’</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402502-9d6e-11f1-a0d4-d94e0d4b8102">            <a href="https://swyfthome.com/products/model-02-3-seater-sofa-airforce" data-model-name="Swyft Model 02 Airforce 3-Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Sizipnb6h9fqmnAV4VqynJ.jpg" alt="Swyft, Model 02 3-Seater Sofa, Airforce"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Swyft</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Model 02 Airforce 3-Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Fast delivery<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat with ottoman, 2-seat with ottoman, loveseat, sofa bed<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W205cm x D85cm x H83cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 27 colours, 7 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid wood plinth and legs with 50% crumbed foam and 50% hollow fibre cushioning<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>For me, this is a very quintessentially mid-century style sofa if there ever was one. Clean angular lines, not a very deep seat which encourages a more upright (and somewhat formal) position and tapered wooden legs in dark wood. The sofa also comes with an exposed wooden plinth base which matches the legs.

But that's not the case with the Soho sofa from Darlings of Chelsea. This sofa manages to balance the sleek mid-century look of clean lines, a simple silhouette and tapered wooden legs with high levels of comfort as the seat is decently deep and the removable seat, back and armrest cushions are nice and soft. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Higher price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Handmade to order in the UK</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime guarantee</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402642-9d6e-11f1-953b-d938001782d6">            <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-barbican-5-seater-corner-sofa/p747056?ab863=barbican&fabricSku=111705960" data-model-name="John Lewis Barbican Aquaclean Aston Natural 5+ Seater Corner Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/siQ4Qc5d99Wp7szrPrkmUP.jpg" alt="John Lewis Barbican 5+ Seater Corner Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>John Lewis</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Barbican Aquaclean Aston Natural 5+ Seater Corner Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Corner mid-century sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 5-seat corner; also available as small 2-seat, medium 2-seat, large 3-seat, grand 4-seat, sofa bed<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W256cm x D98cm x H90cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 85 colours, 18 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Fibre-wrapped foam seat and fibre back with wooden legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>There aren't many mid-century style corner sofas out there. Named after one of the biggest icons of midcentury design and brutalist architecture, the Barbican centre in London, this sofa is one of the few corner mid-century styles - but it has a lot more going for it than that. This is one of the very few mid-century sofas that made me want to lounge and curl up thanks to the decently deep seats - as most of the others encourage a more formal upright sit. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- 12-week delivery lead time</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Deep seats</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e94026ce-9d6e-11f1-b4d8-e5fad489a0e8">            <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/8863524" data-model-name="Habitat Julien Navy Blue Velvet 2 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hAXHYzSuuHYfmv3ox3bpGe.jpg" alt="Habitat Julien Velvet 2 Seater Sofa - Navy Blue"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Habitat</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Julien Navy Blue Velvet 2 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Budget mid-century style<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2-seat; also available as 3-seat, 4-seat and corner chaise<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W180cm x D97cm x H83cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Navy, Dark green, Natural, Charcoal, Orange, Tan faux leather<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam seat filling with fibre cushion filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If you're working with a more limited budget, this is one of the best affordable sofas you could get - and it also happens to feature a mid-century-inspired look. And for the price, this is one comfortable sofa. The fixed fibre-wrapped foam seats are on the slightly firmer side but it still has a good amount of squish and seat depth.

You'd be hard pressed to find a sofa like this for under £500 anywhere else. But this sofa is also the perfect example of mid-century style with tall tapered legs and lightly curved armrests. I'm a big fan of the retro-inspired print it comes in, while many other upholstery options are available, too. It's not the most comfortable and squishy sofa I've tried as it's more on the supportive, formal side. But I still liked it very much when I tested it.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Only 2-year frame guarantee</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Budget-friendly price point</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options to choose from</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402804-9d6e-11f1-a7ae-4f9c2b5c4fd5">            <a href="https://www.sohohome.com/products/atlanta-sofa/79921302" data-model-name="Soho Home Atlanta Olive Velvet 4 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/gxCeqYUnXBJHUi2Pj8tUTL.jpg" alt="Soho Home, Atlanta Four Seater Sofa, Velvet, Olive"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Soho Home</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Atlanta Olive Velvet 4 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Exposed frame mid-century style sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 4-seat; also available as 3-seat and loveseat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W250cm x D87cm x H80cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 18 colours<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid oak frame with rattan panelling and foam, fibre and feather filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If you're after high levels of style then Soho Home, the homeware and furniture brand behind Soho House, never disappoints. The Atlanta sofa is a beautifully executed example of a style of mid-century sofas that we don't see that often these days anymore. It's based on an exposed wooden frame with slim wooden armrests that are also bench-like. It comes with a spindle back, rattan panels on the sides and it's upholstered in sumptuous velvet covering soft seat and back cushions filled with a mix of feather, fibre and foam. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Higher price point</p><p>- Long delivery lead times, up to 16 weeks</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Stylish design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Slim armrests make it perfect for small living rooms</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>High upholstery rub count</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402570-9d6e-11f1-b936-9d1558b4b2dd">            <a href="https://swyfthome.com/products/model-10-3-seater-sofa-bronze" data-model-name="Swyft Model 10 Bronze 3-Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/rqeh6DrGHTMmWTbvvhwmgc.jpg" alt="Swyft, Model 10 3-Seater Sofa, Bronze"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Swyft</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Model 10 Bronze 3-Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Sofa in a box<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat with ottoman, 2-seat with ottoman, sofa bed and loveseat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W213cm x D87cm x H79cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 25 colours, 7 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Solid ash wood plinth with wooden legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Just like any other Swyft sofa, Model 10, too, can be with you within 24 hours - as the brand offers such fast delivery - and it comes compactly flat-packed in a box so if you have a narrow entrance, you can rest assured it will fit. The feel of this sofa is more bouncy than soft ut it's by no means hard or uncomfortable. As with most mid-century style sofas, the seat is rather narrow so it's for a more upright sit.

Aside from the wide range of colours of leather you can choose from, the biggest standout feature for me is the partly exposed wooden frame which extends into legs. It's a beautiful combination and layering of textures. And while it's a super stylish sofa, it's also very comfortable with a good amount of squish in the cushions.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Existing customers have noted the odd and very obvious placement of seams on the cushions</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Available in a range of colours of leather to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Stylish design which mixes materials</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e9402872-9d6e-11f1-9fba-dd38a6446289">            <a href="https://www.heals.com/products/outline-3-seater-sofa?variant=53414472057165" data-model-name="Muuto Outline 3 Seater Sofa in Refine Leather Cognac" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UH47jf9zTgnbrafR9JQczY.jpg" alt="Muuto Outline 3 Seater Sofa - Refine Leather Cognac / Black"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Muuto</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Outline 3 Seater Sofa in Refine Leather Cognac</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Luxury mid-century style sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, corner chaise and corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W220cm x D84cm x H71cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Cognac leather, Black leather, Light grey, Dark green, Dark grey, Dark blue<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Wood and steel frame with powder-coated aluminium legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>There are several sofa styles from Muuto that I rate highly, but in terms of mid-century sofas, it's all about the Outline. It features a very obviously Scandi take on the mid-century look and is perfect for smaller spaces with its airy, raised-off-the-ground design. This is a high quality sofa that will last for many years to come. And if you're not a fan of leather, it's also available in a small range of woven upholstery fabrics.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- High price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Visually light thanks to tall slim legs and slim silhouette</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Scandi meets mid-century look</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e94027a0-9d6e-11f1-8731-1ba038f19f04">            <a href="https://www.kingliving.co.uk/shop/living/sofas/neo/neo2-3-str-low-arms-v2-uk?Cover=Byron_Blush" data-model-name="King Living Neo Byron Blush 3 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ERaEFL9DTfpeeH3Jg3bgRB.jpg" alt="King Living, Neo 3 Seater Sofa in Byron Blush"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>King Living</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Neo Byron Blush 3 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Removable-covers sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as chaise with ottoman, chaise and deluxe<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W284cm x D92cm x H81cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 200 colours, 35 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Steel frame with five layers of CFC-free foam and fibres<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>The Neo is not necessarily the most talked about King Living sofa. But it deserves its spotlight as it's perfect for more compact living rooms and city flats, given its sleek shape that gives a hint of mid-century inspiration but made contemporary. In fact, the founder of King Living, David King himself has revealed to me that he has the Neo sofa in his own flat when I interviewed him. And as with any King Living sofa, one of the biggest benefits are the removable and washable covers.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable and interchangeable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of colours and fabrics to choose from</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e94028d6-9d6e-11f1-9fb9-d716748953d3">            <a href="https://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/shoreditch-range-pview" data-model-name="Darlings of Chelsea Shoreditch 2.5 Seater Sofa in Stain Resistant Chenille Auburn Dust" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/sQhiwb84VjQjEuH8Zn8tVf.jpg" alt="Darlings of Chelsea, Shoreditch 2.5 Seater Sofa in Stain Resistant Chenille Auburn Dust"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Darlings of Chelsea</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Shoreditch 2.5 Seater Sofa in Stain Resistant Chenille Auburn Dust</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Wide range of upholstery choices and sizes<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2.5-seat; loveseat, 2-seat, 3-seat, loveseat chaise, 2-seat chaise, 2.5-seat chaise, 3-seat chaise, U shape, large corner and single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W190cm x D102cm x H90cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 170 colours, 29 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Hard-wood frame with a foam core and soft fibre wrap<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Darlings of Chelsea is the master of customisation - pretty much anything you ask for, the brand can do for you. For a price, of course. And Darlings of Chelsea brings this approach to its stylish, mid-century style Shoreditch sofa, too. Available in over 170 upholstery options, the design comes with two coordinating bolster cushions and tapered wooden legs. And while this 2.5-seater is a great all-rounder, I also love that the Shoreditch comes in so many different sizes, including single-seat modules (unusual when it comes to mid-century sofas) and a large U-shape sofa. <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Higher price point</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>A very customisable design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Lifetime frame guarantee</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e940293a-9d6e-11f1-b7b2-cdf98872fe1b">            <a href="https://www.westelm.co.uk/pierce-ward-bentwood-sofa-h13630" data-model-name="West Elm x Pierce & Ward Bentwood Deluxe Velvet Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2i4ktFjUA6Ubfc6VXMmsyA.jpg" alt="West Elm x Pierce & Ward, Bentwood Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>West Elm x Pierce & Ward</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Bentwood Deluxe Velvet Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for: </strong>Small spaces<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W122cm x D80cm x H88cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Over 170 colours, 29 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Kiln-dried FSC-certified solid and engineered wood frame with fibre-wrapped polyurethane foam core cushioning<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>To say that I'm obsessed with everything from West Elm's collaboration with the interior design duo behind Pierce & Ward would not be an understatement. And that, of course, includes this chic sofa. The mid-century design inspiration is apparent through the walnut-finish curved wooden armrests which extend into tapered legs. And the curve of the armrests is beautifully mirrored in the curve of the backrest, too. But this piece is also super practical and handy if you're not working with a lot of space as it takes up next to nothing.  <br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Only one size available</p><p>- Only one upholstery option available</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Compact design, doesn't take up a lot of space</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Made with sustainably sourced wood</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Created in collaboration with renowned interior designers </li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-why-should-you-buy-a-mid-century-sofa"><span>Why should you buy a mid-century sofa?</span></h2><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-versatility"><span>Versatility</span></h3><p>A mid-century style sofa is one of the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/living-room-decor/mid-century-living-room-recipe">things every mid-century living room has in common</a>.

These clever desks you pack away at the end of the day have been popping up all over my Instagram feed.  As someone who spent five years with a ladder desk constantly in my eyeline from bed, I'm a huge fan of the concept of a hideaway desk. A clever design that is not only small-space savvy but can be folded away at night, allowing you to switch off from work. Out of sight, out of mind.</p><p>There have always been a folding bureau here or a clever cabinet desk there on offer on the high street. However, in the latest autumn and winter furniture collections I've seen, even smarter designs coming through, from swivel sideboards to pull-up coffee tables.</p><p>I've gone on a deep dive to pick out 12 of the best hideaway desks that will give your work-from-home space a reset, ready for September. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="c7a6acdc-a09c-11f1-8965-796077e35559">            <a href="https://www.next.co.uk/style/sv116335/v35394" data-model-name="Light Natural Mango Wood Effect Arches Hideaway Desk -

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Rebecca Knight has been the Editor on the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; Website since 2025; previously, she was the Deputy Digital Editor from 2022.  She graduated with a Master&amp;#39;s degree in magazine journalism from City, University of London in 2018, before starting her journalism career as a staff writer on women&amp;#39;s weekly magazines. She fell into the world of homes and interiors when she joined the Ideal Home website team in 2019 as a Digital Writer. In 2020 she moved into position of Homes News Editor working across &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp;amp; Gardens, LivingEtc, Real Homes, Gardeningetc&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; covering everything from the latest viral cleaning hack to the next big interior trend. In 2022 she returned full time to the Ideal Home team, where she indulges her passion for DIY projects. She is currently decorating her first home in London and enjoys thrifting through charity shops and high street stores to get a high end look without breaking the bank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is sitting in the living room at my Mum&amp;#39;s house in North Yorkshire. She lives at the top of a hill in the countryside, so the living room has huge windows looking out over the rolling fields below. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m obsessed with vintage crockery, I&amp;#39;m a magpie for scouring charity shop bric-a-brac shelves.  My best finds to date are a set of pastel blue Wedgewood candle stick holders and a set of six cut glass wine tumblers I picked up at a second-hand store in the Lake District. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just moved into my first unfurnished rental flat so we&amp;#39;re busy kitting it out. We&amp;#39;re mostly trying to stick to using second-hand items we&amp;#39;re bought cheaply or picked up for free. We inherited some wooden farmhouse chairs from a family friend that need a little upcycling love so they&amp;#39;re my next big project. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>One of the biggest home decor changes I've witnessed in my 7 years of writing about homes and interiors has been the rise of the at-home workspace. <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/home-office">Home offices, </a>once a luxury, are now a necessity for many homes, and desks in a bedroom are no longer only an essential for kids' rooms; they're now a key fixture in most adult bedrooms too.</p><p>However, the size of our homes has not necessarily kept up with these new working-from-home demands; enter the 'hideaway' desk. These clever desks you pack away at the end of the day have been popping up all over my Instagram feed.  As someone who spent five years with a ladder desk constantly in my eyeline from bed, I'm a huge fan of the concept of a hideaway desk. A clever design that is not only small-space savvy but can be folded away at night, allowing you to switch off from work. Out of sight, out of mind.</p><p>There have always been a folding bureau here or a clever cabinet desk there on offer on the high street. However, in the latest autumn and winter furniture collections I've seen, even smarter designs coming through, from swivel sideboards to pull-up coffee tables.</p><p>I've gone on a deep dive to pick out 12 of the best hideaway desks that will give your work-from-home space a reset, ready for September. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="c7a6acdc-a09c-11f1-8965-796077e35559">            <a href="https://www.next.co.uk/style/sv116335/v35394" data-model-name="Light Natural Mango Wood Effect Arches Hideaway Desk -

Or alternatively, consider investing in a folding chair (I find <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/5048878" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Habitat's metal folding chairs, £13,</a> surprisingly comfortable) that can be hung up on the back of a door or slipped under a bed or sofa when not in use.</p><p>These new space-saving designs are the ideal solution if you don't have space for a dedicated home office or full-sized desk.</p>

My next project is the entryway – or rather the lack thereof. And my first planned purchase to make this happen is a stylish storage stool.</p><p>As I was searching through various brands’ offerings, looking for the best <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/hallway/hallway-decor/small-hallway-storage-ideas">small hallway storage idea</a> for my space, I came across a few different storage stool designs that married form and function beautifully. So I thought I’d share them with you so that you, too, can get yourself extra hidden storage space, an additional seat and a pop of colour, pattern or an interesting texture. Even though I’d happily incorporate any of these into my home, I only have space for one so someone else should go and snap up some of the other ones, too. </p><p>Personally, I’m planning to go with the <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/8693220" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Habitat Leo fabric storage ottoman</a> to help me <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/hallway/hallway-decor/how-to-fake-a-hallway">fake a hallway</a> in my studio flat – I’m just deciding between the plum and the <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/7266263" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">blue stripe</a> colourways.  But the beauty of all of these storage pouffes is their versatility – they make for a great addition to any living room (especially if you’re in need of <a

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Even though it’s been a year since I moved into my current flat, I’ve been taking my time decorating it, really thinking about what I want to do with the very small space and what I want to add, tackling one area at a time. My next project is the entryway – or rather the lack thereof. And my first planned purchase to make this happen is a stylish storage stool.</p><p>As I was searching through various brands’ offerings, looking for the best <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/hallway/hallway-decor/small-hallway-storage-ideas">small hallway storage idea</a> for my space, I came across a few different storage stool designs that married form and function beautifully. So I thought I’d share them with you so that you, too, can get yourself extra hidden storage space, an additional seat and a pop of colour, pattern or an interesting texture. Even though I’d happily incorporate any of these into my home, I only have space for one so someone else should go and snap up some of the other ones, too. </p><p>Personally, I’m planning to go with the <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/8693220" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Habitat Leo fabric storage ottoman</a> to help me <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/hallway/hallway-decor/how-to-fake-a-hallway">fake a hallway</a> in my studio flat – I’m just deciding between the plum and the <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/7266263" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">blue stripe</a> colourways.  But the beauty of all of these storage pouffes is their versatility – they make for a great addition to any living room (especially if you’re in need of <a

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>Whether you call it a loveseat, a snuggle chair or a cuddle chair, this cosy-coded seating style sits somewhere between a regular armchair and a small two-seater sofa in terms of size. And whether you’re looking for compact seating for a small living room or a generously-sized addition to an open-plan lounge, these are the best loveseats I’ve tried and would highly recommend to anyone.</p><p>As <em>Ideal Home</em>’s Room Decor Editor, it’s part of my job to regularly try sofas, as well as other forms of <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/living-room-ideas/living-room-seating-ideas-300447">living room seating ideas</a> in search of the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-sofas-242350">best sofas</a>, best accent chairs etc. So I’ve tried my fair share of loveseats, too. </p><p>But while some people might try to sell you on the idea that they snuggly fit two people, I disagree with that. A loveseat is really just a generously sized seating for one person – at a push, you can fit an adult and a small child. But they make for a super comfy and cosy spot to snuggle up with a cup of tea and read a book, watch TV or just chat with family and friends if you have a <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/living-room/conversation-first-living-room-trend">conversation-first living room</a>.</p><p>‘Originally rising to popularity in the early 19th century, loveseats have remained a timeless favourite thanks to their combination of comfort, versatility and space-saving design,’ says Julia Bilotta, creative stylist at <a href="https://www.sofology.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sofology</a>.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="ae7be816-9706-11f1-bd96-7d0d88be46d3">            <a href="https://schplendid.com/products/vesper-love-two-seat" data-model-name="Schplendid Vesper Moutarde Lightweight Linen Loveseat" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8Vt4YSNtGrcyX4B7DwFeab.jpg" alt="Schplendid Vesper Loveseat"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Schplendid</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Vesper Moutarde Lightweight Linen Loveseat</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Most comfortable loveseat<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Loveseat; also available as 3-seat, 4-seat, 5-seat L shape, 6-seat big L shape<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W137cm x D107cm x H90cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 22 colours, 3 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Beech and plywood frame with Italian goose down, feather, coconut husk and wool<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If comfort is your number one priority when it comes to your loveseat, then I couldn't recommend Schplendid's Vesper enough.

The biggest selling point of this 1.5-seater which sets it apart from the rest is the two-toned upholstery and the removable nature of all the cushion covers. So you can change them up seasonally or get new ones if you ever tire of the look or they're past they're best.

I'm usually a big fan of Swyft's bulkier <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/best-modular-sofas">modular sofas</a> - but for a more compact loveseat, this is the one to get. And just like the bigger pieces, it conveniently arrives flat-packed and as quickly as within 24 hours.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Flat-pack delivery</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>24-hour delivery available</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="ae7be8d4-9706-11f1-9c07-8fd89e961b7d">            <a href="https://www.barkerandstonehouse.co.uk/arundel-cuddler-swivel-chair" data-model-name="Barker and Stonehouse Arundel Neutral Fabric Swivel Snuggle Chair" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.93%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/P2y2DTjM2imbQGUHVetaT9.jpg" alt="Barker and Stonehouse Arundel Cuddler Swivel Chair"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Barker and Stonehouse</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Arundel Neutral Fabric Swivel Snuggle Chair</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Swivel loveseat<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Swivel snuggle chair; also available as snuggle chair and large chaise<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W131cm x D126cm x H83cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> Zelda golden<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Sustainably sourced hardwood timber frame with foam and fibre wrap filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>When testing out different living room swivel chairs for my <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/living-room-swivel-chairs-trend">best swivel chair guide</a>, it was actually the round, loveseat-sized swivels like the Arundel that were my favourite. It provides enough room to curl up on and the swivel motion almost rocked me to sleep. Given the curved shape and large size, it's not the most small living room-friendly.

A coffee table or footstool placed between them helps define the space, while a generously sized rug beneath the seating anchors the arrangement, creating a cosy, clearly defined zone that adds warmth and balance to the room,’ Julia at Sofology recommends.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="WjnRaTAgCDswSMrkBuP5jX" name="Loveseats rachael smith" alt="A corner of a room with a grey velvet loveseat and colourful cushions on top" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/WjnRaTAgCDswSMrkBuP5jX-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/Rachael Smith)</span></figcaption></figure><p>But a loveseat doesn’t just have to be a living room idea.

They're also a great solution for awkward corners that might otherwise go unused. Paired with a floor lamp and a side table, a loveseat can transform an overlooked area into one of the most inviting spots in the home,’ John at Swyft says.</p><p>Where are you putting your loveseat once you choose the best one for you and your home?</p> ]]></dc:content>

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Whether you call it a loveseat, a snuggle chair or a cuddle chair, this cosy-coded seating style sits somewhere between a regular armchair and a small two-seater sofa in terms of size. And whether you’re looking for compact seating for a small living room or a generously-sized addition to an open-plan lounge, these are the best loveseats I’ve tried and would highly recommend to anyone.</p><p>As <em>Ideal Home</em>’s Room Decor Editor, it’s part of my job to regularly try sofas, as well as other forms of <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/living-room/living-room-ideas/living-room-seating-ideas-300447">living room seating ideas</a> in search of the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-sofas-242350">best sofas</a>, best accent chairs etc. So I’ve tried my fair share of loveseats, too. </p><p>But while some people might try to sell you on the idea that they snuggly fit two people, I disagree with that. A loveseat is really just a generously sized seating for one person – at a push, you can fit an adult and a small child. But they make for a super comfy and cosy spot to snuggle up with a cup of tea and read a book, watch TV or just chat with family and friends if you have a <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/living-room/conversation-first-living-room-trend">conversation-first living room</a>.</p><p>‘Originally rising to popularity in the early 19th century, loveseats have remained a timeless favourite thanks to their combination of comfort, versatility and space-saving design,’ says Julia Bilotta, creative stylist at <a href="https://www.sofology.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sofology</a>.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="ae7be816-9706-11f1-bd96-7d0d88be46d3">            <a href="https://schplendid.com/products/vesper-love-two-seat" data-model-name="Schplendid Vesper Moutarde Lightweight Linen Loveseat" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8Vt4YSNtGrcyX4B7DwFeab.jpg" alt="Schplendid Vesper Loveseat"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Schplendid</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Vesper Moutarde Lightweight Linen Loveseat</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Most comfortable loveseat<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Loveseat; also available as 3-seat, 4-seat, 5-seat L shape, 6-seat big L shape<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W137cm x D107cm x H90cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 22 colours, 3 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Beech and plywood frame with Italian goose down, feather, coconut husk and wool<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If comfort is your number one priority when it comes to your loveseat, then I couldn't recommend Schplendid's Vesper enough. It feels like a comforting hug and a cosy cocoon to sit down and ideally curl up in. I could sit on one of these for hours on end. The seat, back, and side cushions are all pillowy soft yet plump, filled with Italian goose down, feather and coconut husk.

I love a bargain and all things stripes, so I'm fully on board. In comparison to some of the other loveseats in this round-up, it's not necessarily as cosy and comfortable – but the Beatrice makes up for it with its stylish, timeless design that won't break the bank.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- The seat is wide but no that deep</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Budget-friendly price</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Classic shape</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>On-trend striped upholstery</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="ae7be69a-9706-11f1-8d52-c970b5991b1b">            <a href="https://www.mycozmo.com/products/cozy-1-5-seater-sofa-dark-green-velvet" data-model-name="Cozmo Cozy Cream Fleece and Dark Green Velvet 1.5 Seater Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.93%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kxCSG6gapo5T3sdFtkmKfP.jpg" alt="Cozmo, Cozy 1.5 Seater Sofa | Dark Green Velvet | Brick Trim"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Cozmo</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Cozy Cream Fleece and Dark Green Velvet 1.5 Seater Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Removable-cover loveseat<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 1.5 seat; also available as 1.5-seat chaise, 2-seat, 3-seat, 3-seat chaise, 4-seat chaise, 5-seat, 5-seat chaise<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W106cm x D85cm x H75cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 48 colours, 10 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>FSC-certified solid wood and birch plywood frame with memory foam and duck feather cushioning<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Rather than calling it a loveseat, Cozmo calls this seating size a 1.5-seat sofa. The biggest selling point of this 1.5-seater which sets it apart from the rest is the two-toned upholstery and the removable nature of all the cushion covers. So you can change them up seasonally or get new ones if you ever tire of the look or they're past they're best.

I don't blame them - I'm also a huge fan of the super chic striped design. And the loveseat version is just as stylish and just as comfortable - this is one of those pillowy soft designs that you'll want to stay in for hours on end.

It's a more recent addition to the collection but Dunelm's Armitage already boasts over 50 five-star reviews. The stylish and contemporary shape is complemented by on-trend statement ball feet and the seat is well-balanced in terms of width and depth. Given the foam and fibre filling, it's more of a supportive feel rather than a super soft one.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Limited upholstery options</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Affordable price point</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Contemporary, stylish design with ball feet</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="ae7be87a-9706-11f1-b8f2-a9b21982bede">            <a href="https://swyfthome.com/products/model-10-loveseat-pumice" data-model-name="Swyft Model 10 Pumice Linen Loveseat" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/25cePGUc8a7nyrGBSafjR3.jpg" alt="Swyft, Model 10 Loveseat, Pumice - Pumice"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Swyft</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Model 10 Pumice Linen Loveseat</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Midcentury-style loveseat<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Loveseat; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat, 3-seat with ottoman, 2-seat with ottoman<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W128cm x D87cm x H79cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> 27 colours, 7 fabrics<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Responsibly sourced plywood frame with foam and fibre filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Midcentury seating styles like Swyft's Model 10 are perfect for smaller spaces.

It provides enough room to curl up on and the swivel motion almost rocked me to sleep. Given the curved shape and large size, it's not the most small living room-friendly.

They're also a great solution for awkward corners that might otherwise go unused. Paired with a floor lamp and a side table, a loveseat can transform an overlooked area into one of the most inviting spots in the home,’ John at Swyft says.</p><p>Where are you putting your loveseat once you choose the best one for you and your home?</p>

Since she started testing products four years ago, she has evaluated hundreds of small appliances in both controlled test environments at the Ideal Home test facility and in her own kitchen, giving her insight into what &lt;em&gt;actually&lt;/em&gt; works for home cooks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since joining in 2022, she&#039;s worked to apply real-world testing to every piece of kitchen-related buying advice you see on the website, which has involved reviewing everything from ice-cream makers to mixing bowls. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While her expertise spans everything you would want to hand in a kitchen, she&#039;s particularly known on the team for her comprehensive knowledge of air fryers, having systematically tested pretty much every model released since 2022. She’s tested bestselling products from the biggest names in coffee machines and cooking appliances, including the likes of Ninja, De’Longhi, Sage, Breville, Russell Hobbs and more. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To stay ahead of the next must-have kitchen buy, Molly regularly immerses herself in the world of kitchen technology, from exploring the research and testing facilities of industry leaders like Ninja Kitchen to attending cooking classes with Le Creuset and heading off to major consumer shows like IFA in Berlin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Her hands-on approach and deep technical understanding allow her to spot not just what&#039;s new, but what&#039;s actually going to make a difference in your home when it comes to new kitchen tech. Before joining her treasured &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;, she developed her expertise whilst working on the editorial teams for &lt;em&gt;Real Homes, Homes &amp; Gardens, and Livingetc.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;The beach! I love finding a great new beach but I have a real soft spot for UK ones (rain or shine!) so I&#039;ll pick one either in my hometown of Bournemouth or in Cornwall. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kitchen gadgets are my ultimate home addiction, even outside of work time. Luckily I have a section of floor-to-ceiling open shelving in my flat where I can stash my favourites, but I still find myself overflowing with sourdough jars and herb keepers. It&#039;s a great perk of the job!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;I need to find a way to display my cast-iron cookware stylishly. The farmhouse-style kitchen of my dreams with open shelving is off the cards for now, so I&#039;m looking for a way to replicate the look in my rental kitchen for a bit less.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Timelessness versus trends is the eternal debate of those who love poring over interiors. But one area in which retro designs <em>always</em> win out is with small kitchen appliances. With an aesthetic borrowed from the 50s and 60s, essentially all of the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-toasters-dualit-breville-kitchenaid-196260">best toasters</a> and <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-kettles-196523">kettles</a> on the market have rounded, pastel silhouettes that are picture perfect for kitchen counters. </p><p>Smeg is synonymous with the retro kitchen look. As well as their standard small appliances, they have an incredibly capable range of <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-bean-to-cup-coffee-machines-236098">bean-to-cup coffee machines</a> available in a gorgeous range of colours that no other brand comes close to. Here at Ideal Home we've reviewed a huge number of Smeg coffee machines. The EGF03 Espresso Machine is our top-rated choice after our <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/kitchen/smeg-egf03-bean-to-cup-coffee-machine-review">review</a> and by far the prettiest option, too. </p><p>If you're undertaking a September reset in your kitchen then these retro-style appliances might be just the ticket to give your worktops a new lease of life.

After graduating from City, University of London in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism, Kezia kicked off her career spending two years working on women’s weekly magazines. It was here she developed a love for women’s lifestyle, leading the way to a keen interest in homeware and interior design. Kezia is always on the lookout for the latest home news, finding you the best deals and trends - so you don’t miss a thing!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place has to be in the bath after a long day. Which is why I like to keep my bathroom filled with as many pretty things as possible - little soap dishes to trinkets I’ve picked up on holiday. I also go for things on the quirky side - just recently I picked up a Joe Lycett painting of Gail Platt to hang in my bathroom!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I love a bohemian style but I’m also a little bit of a magpie - I love anything with a bit of sparkle. My mum made me a lampshade out of second-hand beads and it&#039;s my favourite part of my bedroom. I also have a moderate obsession with leopard print - I’m currently on the hunt for leopard print glassware.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m currently in the process of decorating my living room. It’s a standard rental property so I’m trying to inject as much fun into the room as possible. My friend and I are planning to mosaic the coffee table, turning it from standard Ikea white to a Grecian dream with blue and white tiles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>I am sure we can all agree that the right laundry basket can make washing and sorting clothes, sheets and towels easier.

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>As we start looking towards the new season, new looks and trends for our homes are starting to trickle in. The tassel and fringe trend is one I’ve been seeing popping up in the homes of some of the most stylish people. But it’s really coming into its own for the autumn/winter season ahead.</p><p>That’s why I put together a list of my top 20 picks celebrating this fresh <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/home-decor-trends-2026">home decor trend</a> rooted in vintage inspiration and nostalgia. ‘There’s definitely a nostalgic element to the trend – it borrows from glamorous 1920s Art Deco interiors to Victoriana,’ says Lucy Mather, interiors expert at <a href="https://www.arighibianchi.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Arighi Bianchi</a>. But that doesn’t mean you have to have a maximalist or vintage-filled home for this trend to look good in your space. On the contrary.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="UzR5mTJ5b8HCTz8Fiyq53Z" name="Tassel trend katie lee" alt="A bedroom with a pink palm leaf-print wallpaper, a tassel curtain tie on a dark green velvet curtain and a fringe-trimmed cushion" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UzR5mTJ5b8HCTz8Fiyq53Z-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/Katie Lee)</span></figcaption></figure><p>‘I look at it as almost like jewellery for a room! You don’t need to over-do it. A lot of people think tassels go hand-in-hand with traditional - or even old-fashioned - furniture, but a fringed lamp or footstool actually works really well in a clean, modern room because it breaks up the straight lines and hard edges,’ Lucy explains. Not to mention that it brings in a natural sense of movement, as well as character.</p><p>As Lucy already mentioned, you can inject the look into a room with a tasseled light fixture like the <a href="https://www.lighting-direct.co.uk/175657-wisteria-vanta-flush-ceiling-light-natural.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wisteria Vanta semi-flush ceiling light from Lighting Direct</a> or a stylish stool with a fringed trim like the luxe <a href="https://www.sohohome.com/products/marta-footstool-velvet/78144915" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Marta velvet stool from Soho Home</a>. But this can also be a great opportunity for an <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/diy-and-decorating/easy-diy-projects-246320">easy DIY project</a> if you just buy some <a href="https://www.dunelm.com/product/tassel-fringe-trimming-1000257592" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">tassel fringe trimming like this from Dunelm</a> and attach it to a lampshade. Or you can buy a single <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/jones-Florentine-Tassels-Beige-Ivory/dp/B00VTXI1IK/ref=sr_1_5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">tassel like this one from Amazon</a> and simply add it to anything from a door handle to the bottom of a pendant light.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a3ac4a28-9a28-11f1-8d02-87c430339d27">

tassels and fringe detailing into your home that are a little more out of the box, ‘I’m also a big fan of adding fringing in the surprising spots you might not think of at first – small tassels on cabinet keys, decorative trim on the edge of a headboard, artisan fringed placemats on a tablescape. It’s different, it’s fun, and it feels intentionally individual.’ </p><p>I'm personally quite tempted by those beautiful, super-sized decorative fans with a single tassel adorning them used as wall decor. So chic!</p> ]]></dc:content>

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>As we start looking towards the new season, new looks and trends for our homes are starting to trickle in. The tassel and fringe trend is one I’ve been seeing popping up in the homes of some of the most stylish people. But it’s really coming into its own for the autumn/winter season ahead.</p><p>That’s why I put together a list of my top 20 picks celebrating this fresh <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/home-decor-trends-2026">home decor trend</a> rooted in vintage inspiration and nostalgia. ‘There’s definitely a nostalgic element to the trend – it borrows from glamorous 1920s Art Deco interiors to Victoriana,’ says Lucy Mather, interiors expert at <a href="https://www.arighibianchi.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Arighi Bianchi</a>. But that doesn’t mean you have to have a maximalist or vintage-filled home for this trend to look good in your space. On the contrary.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="UzR5mTJ5b8HCTz8Fiyq53Z" name="Tassel trend katie lee" alt="A bedroom with a pink palm leaf-print wallpaper, a tassel curtain tie on a dark green velvet curtain and a fringe-trimmed cushion" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UzR5mTJ5b8HCTz8Fiyq53Z-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/Katie Lee)</span></figcaption></figure><p>‘I look at it as almost like jewellery for a room! You don’t need to over-do it. A lot of people think tassels go hand-in-hand with traditional - or even old-fashioned - furniture, but a fringed lamp or footstool actually works really well in a clean, modern room because it breaks up the straight lines and hard edges,’ Lucy explains. Not to mention that it brings in a natural sense of movement, as well as character.</p><p>As Lucy already mentioned, you can inject the look into a room with a tasseled light fixture like the <a href="https://www.lighting-direct.co.uk/175657-wisteria-vanta-flush-ceiling-light-natural.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wisteria Vanta semi-flush ceiling light from Lighting Direct</a> or a stylish stool with a fringed trim like the luxe <a href="https://www.sohohome.com/products/marta-footstool-velvet/78144915" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Marta velvet stool from Soho Home</a>. But this can also be a great opportunity for an <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/diy-and-decorating/easy-diy-projects-246320">easy DIY project</a> if you just buy some <a href="https://www.dunelm.com/product/tassel-fringe-trimming-1000257592" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">tassel fringe trimming like this from Dunelm</a> and attach it to a lampshade. Or you can buy a single <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/jones-Florentine-Tassels-Beige-Ivory/dp/B00VTXI1IK/ref=sr_1_5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">tassel like this one from Amazon</a> and simply add it to anything from a door handle to the bottom of a pendant light.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="a3ac4a28-9a28-11f1-8d02-87c430339d27">

tassels and fringe detailing into your home that are a little more out of the box, ‘I’m also a big fan of adding fringing in the surprising spots you might not think of at first – small tassels on cabinet keys, decorative trim on the edge of a headboard, artisan fringed placemats on a tablescape. It’s different, it’s fun, and it feels intentionally individual.’ </p><p>I'm personally quite tempted by those beautiful, super-sized decorative fans with a single tassel adorning them used as wall decor. So chic!</p>

The reasonable price is the top reason for its title as leather sofas can easily cost upwards of £3000, while this one is half that price.

And it looks just as great upholstered in maple brown leather, if not better. When I tried this sofa at the brand's physical store I was taken with its classic look characteristic for modern modular sofas – angular, boxy modules with low-rise back rest. And I think the brown leather usually associated with more traditional and retro styles creates the perfect balance and an interesting look.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- The sofa has a bulkier design that might not be ideal for small lounges</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Quick delivery</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Arrives flat-packed in a box</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="86365bd2-91b3-11f1-b082-2d78a1885b61">            <a href="https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/columbus-leather-3-seater-sofa-with-castors/ZFRSP000000000059769.html" data-model-name="Furniture Village Columbus Leather 3 Seater Sofa With Castors in Midnight" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/yLhoLKMAiCd2s8VBEcoVHP.jpg" alt="Furniture Village, Columbus Leather 3 Seater Sofa With Castors"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Furniture Village</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Columbus Leather 3 Seater Sofa With Castors in Midnight</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Chesterfield leather sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W220cm x D104cm x H80cm<br><strong>Leather upholstery options:</strong> Midnight, Chestnut, Emerald, Tan, Simply Taupe<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam and Dacron cushioning with wooden legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If you're after the traditional and classic allure of a leather Chesterfield sofa then Furniture Village's Columbus design is my top pick. I'm not usually a big fan of Chesterfield sofas as they can be a little bulky. But that's not the case with the Columbus. Its lighter, slimmer appearance is further enhanced by tall tapered legs on castor wheels which also allow for easy movement. But there's also a version with castors available.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- It's a more supportive-feel sofa, rather than a soft, cushiony kind</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Comes with legs on castor wheels</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Available in a range of colours of leather</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Traditional hand-tied buttoning design</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="86365d8a-91b3-11f1-86ee-79c54037d20d">            <a href="https://www.kingliving.co.uk/shop/living/sofas/reo-recliner/reo3-2str-smart-uk?Cover=Prestige_Palomino" data-model-name="King Living Reo 2 Seater Sofa with Smart Pockets in Prestige Palomino" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/sM3exnpZdMfsXVP6Cbam4c.jpg" alt="King Living, Reo 2 Seater Sofa with Smart Pockets"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>King Living</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Reo 2 Seater Sofa with Smart Pockets in Prestige Palomino</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Reclining leather sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2-seat; also available as 2.5-seat and 3-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W198cm x D105cm x H96cm<br><strong>Leather upholstery options:</strong> 38 colours, 4 finishes<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Steel frame<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Traditionally, you'd usually see leather upholstery on bulky and not very aesthetically pleasing recliner sofas. And while those styles are still around, recliners have been given a bit of an update in recent years. But my favourite from the ones I've tried is the Reo sofa from King Living.

And the John Lewis Nest sofa is the perfect example of that. It's exactly this exposed wood detailing that makes it so special. And paired with the leather upholstery which is another natural material, it's a beautiful combination and layering of textures. And while it's a super stylish sofa, it's also very comfortable with a good amount of squish in the cushions.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Existing customers have noted the odd and very obvious placement of seams on the cushions</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Available in a range of colours of leather to choose from</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Stylish design which mixes materials</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="86365e3e-91b3-11f1-978f-abf35666c615">            <a href="https://www.heals.com/products/outline-3-seater-sofa" data-model-name="Muuto Outline 3 Seater Sofa in Refine Leather Cognac" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MdodtZQU8WSv3HxoSESnFh.jpg" alt="Muuto Outline 3 Seater Sofa - Refine Leather Cognac / Black"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Muuto</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Outline 3 Seater Sofa in Refine Leather Cognac</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Luxury leather sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 3-seat; also available as 2-seat, corner chaise and corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W220cm x D84cm x H71cm<br><strong>Leather upholstery options:</strong> Cognac, Black<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Wood and steel frame with powder-coated aluminium legs<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If you have a larger budget, I'd recommend investing in a leather sofa from a designer brand like the Danish Muuto, stocked at Heal's. There are several sofa styles from Muuto that I rate highly, but when it comes to leather sofas, it's all about the Outline. It features a very obviously Scandi look and is perfect for smaller spaces with its airy, raised-off-the-floor design.

In fact, it only improves with age and wear! </p><p>‘Practically, a leather sofa is durable and resilient,’ says Shelley Cochrane, accessories buyer at <a href="https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Furniture Village</a>. ‘It also grows even more beautiful with age so you can be confident that your leather sofa will stand the test of time.’</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-3-elegant-timeless-look"><span>3.

They work particularly well in rooms with natural materials like oak, walnut and stone, where the textures complement one another,’ John at Swyft suggests.</p><p>Magdalena Gierasinska, head of product and displays at <a href="https://www.barkerandstonehouse.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Barker and Stonehouse</a>, adds, ‘Leather sofas suit any kind of living room and I’d recommend them to those who want a classic and elegant look.’</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="EgBtSYE9PBHLLjVCd7LyJo" name="Neutral living room ideas adam carter natural materials" alt="A cottage-style white living room with a brown leather Chesterfield sofa, a rustic wooden coffee table and a zig zag-pattern rug" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/EgBtSYE9PBHLLjVCd7LyJo-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/Adam Carter)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-what-are-the-downsides-of-leather-sofas"><span>What are the downsides of leather sofas?</span></h2><p>But nothing is perfect, and leather sofas are no exception.

Requires maintenance</span></h3><p>Even though leather sofas are durable and hardwearing, they require some maintenance in order to keep the material feeling supple and soft.</p><p>‘As a natural material, leather will age and soften with use, and without regular care it can become dry or lose some of its rich colour,' says Julia Bilotta, creative stylist at <a href="https://www.sofology.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sofology</a>. 'To help preserve the leather’s softness, appearance and natural sheen, we recommend using a specialist leather conditioner as part of a quality care routine.

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

When I tried this sofa at the brand's physical store I was taken with its classic look characteristic for modern modular sofas – angular, boxy modules with low-rise back rest.

I'm not usually a big fan of Chesterfield sofas as they can be a little bulky. But that's not the case with the Columbus. Its lighter, slimmer appearance is further enhanced by tall tapered legs on castor wheels which also allow for easy movement. But there's also a version with castors available.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- It's a more supportive-feel sofa, rather than a soft, cushiony kind</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Comes with legs on castor wheels</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Available in a range of colours of leather</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Traditional hand-tied buttoning design</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="86365d8a-91b3-11f1-86ee-79c54037d20d">            <a href="https://www.kingliving.co.uk/shop/living/sofas/reo-recliner/reo3-2str-smart-uk?Cover=Prestige_Palomino" data-model-name="King Living Reo 2 Seater Sofa with Smart Pockets in Prestige Palomino" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/sM3exnpZdMfsXVP6Cbam4c.jpg" alt="King Living, Reo 2 Seater Sofa with Smart Pockets"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>King Living</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Reo 2 Seater Sofa with Smart Pockets in Prestige Palomino</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Reclining leather sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2-seat; also available as 2.5-seat and 3-seat<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W198cm x D105cm x H96cm<br><strong>Leather upholstery options:</strong> 38 colours, 4 finishes<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Steel frame<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Traditionally, you'd usually see leather upholstery on bulky and not very aesthetically pleasing recliner sofas. And while those styles are still around, recliners have been given a bit of an update in recent years. But my favourite from the ones I've tried is the Reo sofa from King Living. This sofa elevates the recliner style, both with its sophisticated design and the tapered wooden legs which make the sofa look less bulky.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times as the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25 year frame guarantee</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of leather upholstery options</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Comes with built in pockets for storage</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="86365ccc-91b3-11f1-99a8-b7f006401efd">            <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/product/4378147" data-model-name="Habitat Julien Faux Leather 2 Seater Sofa in Tan" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/9RbsLjByAigyTkZo72YaoW.jpg" alt="Habitat Julien Faux Leather 2 Seater Sofa - Tan"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Habitat</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Julien Faux Leather 2 Seater Sofa in Tan</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Budget leather-style sofa<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> 2-seat; also available as 3-seat and corner chaise<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W180cm x D96.5cm x H82.5cm<br><strong>Leather upholstery options:</strong> Tan<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Foam and fibre cushion filling with metal feet<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If you're more after the look of leather rather than the benefits associated with the genuine material then you can also opt for a faux leather option.

And the John Lewis Nest sofa is the perfect example of that. It's exactly this exposed wood detailing that makes it so special. And paired with the leather upholstery which is another natural material, it's a beautiful combination and layering of textures.

There are several sofa styles from Muuto that I rate highly, but when it comes to leather sofas, it's all about the Outline. It features a very obviously Scandi look and is perfect for smaller spaces with its airy, raised-off-the-floor design.

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Ginevra Benedetti has been the Deputy Editor of &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; magazine since 2021, having first joined the team in 2011. She currently oversees the publication of the brand’s magazine each month, editing, writing and commissioning, from planning through to publication. With a career in magazines spanning nearly twenty years, she has worked for the majority of the UK’s interiors magazines and websites, both as staff and as a freelancer. Just some of the other brands she has written for include &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens, Livingetc, Country Homes &amp; Interiors, Good Homes&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gardeningetc.com&lt;/em&gt;. She has been fortunate enough to have interviewed some of the most talented designers in the business and she&#039;s written about pretty much every area of the home - from shopping and decorating, appliances and home tech, wallpaper and fabric, kitchens and bathrooms, even extensions and conversions.  Having lived in London for over 20 years, she recently moved north and now calls Glasgow home. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can be terribly indecisive… so I’ll go with two! In winter, it’s in the living room curled up on the sofa with a fire going. In Summer, it’s most definitely in our sun-trapped garden. With a few friends over, kids playing on the trampoline, cooking up all sorts on the barbecue, with a glass of something cold in my hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have so many! Scented candles for one. The smoky, musky scents. I’m really not keen on overly floral smells. I’m also a sucker for smart tech and home automation. I do like geeking out on how clever some of the latest tech can be and integrating it into my home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ve just bought a couple of tins of Farrow &amp; Ball’s Studio Green as I plan to repaint my office walls. It’s a really deep shade, but the room gets loads of natural light as it’s at the top of the house, so the colour will lighten up considerably. Once painted, I’ll probably add a simple shelf for some plants and things and some framed pictures. I tend to decorate in stages. I do a little, live with it.. and then tweak. Another result of my indecisiveness!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

The style of The White Company products rarely changes, which is rare when trend cycles move so quickly, but it's testament to the fact that classic is often best. </p><p>So when I saw that <a href="https://www.thewhitecompany.com/uk/Home/c/Kitchen-and-Dining" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The White Company sale</a> had started, I knew it was a great opportunity to invest in homeware that I know I will still genuinely love for years to come. Instead of the sale being full of already-dated <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/kitchen/kitchen-trends-2026">kitchen trends</a>, what I found was classic crockery, beautiful table linens and discounted glassware that will slot right into any collection. </p><p>Whether you're shopping for wedding gifts or for own home, these 12 sale picks will look good in your home for decades. If you've been wanting to update your tablescape or kitchen cupboards with premium picks that will last, here's your chance. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="ecbab8dc-8c02-11f1-a4ec-ed214e22cd2f">            <a href="https://www.thewhitecompany.com/uk/Blue-Picnic-Stemmed-Glass/p/A18291?swatch=Blue" data-model-name="Blue Picnic Stemmed Glass" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.33%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/t3wNWjuf5R5xtaEMRvdpJG.jpg" alt="The White Company, Blue Picnic Stemmed Glass | the White Company"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>The White Company</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Blue Picnic Stemmed Glass</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>It's not easy to find chic picnicware so when you see it, snap it up.

Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>If there's one brand that instantly makes me think of timeless, sophisticated homeware, it's The White Company. The style of The White Company products rarely changes, which is rare when trend cycles move so quickly, but it's testament to the fact that classic is often best. </p><p>So when I saw that <a href="https://www.thewhitecompany.com/uk/Home/c/Kitchen-and-Dining" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The White Company sale</a> had started, I knew it was a great opportunity to invest in homeware that I know I will still genuinely love for years to come. Instead of the sale being full of already-dated <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/kitchen/kitchen-trends-2026">kitchen trends</a>, what I found was classic crockery, beautiful table linens and discounted glassware that will slot right into any collection. </p><p>Whether you're shopping for wedding gifts or for own home, these 12 sale picks will look good in your home for decades.

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>When it comes to refreshing my garden for summer, there is one online brand I always turn to for unique and expensive-looking garden furniture: La Redoute. The online store is essentially France's answer to M&S, selling everything from fashion to homeware, but it's the garden furniture that impresses me, and other interiors editors, time and time again.</p><p>La Redoute sits in the mid to high price range on the high street, but it delivers designer looks at a fraction of the price of designer brands such as Soho Home. However, if you want to get the designer look for even less, <a href="https://www.laredoute.co.uk/pplp/cat-364368.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">La Redoute is hosting a massive final garden clearance sale</a> with prices reduced by up to 60% on some of their most lust-worthy pieces.</p><p>The outdoor coffee tables and sculptural side tables are where La Redoute really shines. I've got my eye on the <a href="https://www.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-351276312.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Dendi Ceramic Garden Side Table</a> in a gorgeous ochre colour as an easy way to add the tile trend to my garden. If you're looking to upgrade your BBQ setup, I've also spotted the <a href="https://www.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-350217201.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wassif Acacia Garden Table</a>, which I picked up last summer to turn into a mini outdoor kitchen, reduced to under £200. </p><p>I've trawled through the clearance sale, and these are the pieces I'd recommend snapping up while they're on super sale. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e7f839f0-8b58-11f1-903b-652a3948c7d0">            <a

She graduated with a Masters degree in magazine journalism from City, University of London in 2018, before starting her journalism career as a staff writer on women&#039;s weekly magazines. She fell into the world of homes and interiors after joining the Ideal Home website team in 2019 as a Digital Writer. In 2020 she moved into position of Homes News Editor working across &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens, LivingEtc, Real Homes, Gardeningetc&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; covering everything from the latest viral cleaning hack to the next big interior trend. In 2022 she returned full time to the Ideal Home team, where she indulges her passion for DIY projects. She is currently decorating her first unfurnished rental flat in London and enjoys thrifting through charity shops and high street stores to get a high end look without breaking the bank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is sitting in the living room at my Mum&#039;s house in North Yorkshire. She lives at the top of a hill in the countryside, so the living room has huge windows looking out over the rolling fields below. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m obsessed with vintage crockery, I&#039;m a magpie for scouring charity shop bric-a-brac shelves.  My best finds to date are a set of pastel blue Wedgewood candle stick holders and a set of six cut glass wine tumblers I picked up at a second-hand store in the Lake District. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just moved into my first unfurnished rental flat so we&#039;re busy kitting it out. We&#039;re mostly trying to stick to using second-hand items we&#039;re bought cheaply or picked up for free. We inherited some wooden farmhouse chairs from a family friend that need a little upcycling love so they&#039;re my next big project. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>When it comes to refreshing my garden for summer, there is one online brand I always turn to for unique and expensive-looking garden furniture: La Redoute. The online store is essentially France's answer to M&S, selling everything from fashion to homeware, but it's the garden furniture that impresses me, and other interiors editors, time and time again.</p><p>La Redoute sits in the mid to high price range on the high street, but it delivers designer looks at a fraction of the price of designer brands such as Soho Home. However, if you want to get the designer look for even less, <a href="https://www.laredoute.co.uk/pplp/cat-364368.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">La Redoute is hosting a massive final garden clearance sale</a> with prices reduced by up to 60% on some of their most lust-worthy pieces.</p><p>The outdoor coffee tables and sculptural side tables are where La Redoute really shines. I've got my eye on the <a href="https://www.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-351276312.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Dendi Ceramic Garden Side Table</a> in a gorgeous ochre colour as an easy way to add the tile trend to my garden. If you're looking to upgrade your BBQ setup, I've also spotted the <a href="https://www.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-350217201.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wassif Acacia Garden Table</a>, which I picked up last summer to turn into a mini outdoor kitchen, reduced to under £200. </p><p>I've trawled through the clearance sale, and these are the pieces I'd recommend snapping up while they're on super sale. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="e7f839f0-8b58-11f1-903b-652a3948c7d0">            <a

But as with any kind of sofa, not all corner styles are created equal – that’s why I found the best corner sofas for you to choose from.</p><p>As <em>Ideal Home</em>’s Room Decor Editor, it’s part of my job to sit-test as many different sofas available on the market as possible so that you don’t have to.

It's Sofa.com's deepest sofa style – and also one of the deepest sofas I've ever tested, which makes it perfect for lounging and curling up. The Sloane is also completely modular which is a huge benefit. The super spacious corner module is definitely the prime spot that you might have to fight over with the rest of your family.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Given the deep seats and large size of the sofa, the sofa takes up a lot of space </p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Deep seats perfect for lounging</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="1dbf8356-8459-11f1-b14e-fbf95cfaf000">            <a href="https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/goliath-large-fabric-corner-sofa-with-storage-drawers/ZFRSP000000000057216.html" data-model-name="Furniture Village Goliath Large Fabric Corner Sofa with Storage Drawers in Oxford Moss Green" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/jNbRqPt34aaNVzqZyJY8dK.jpg" alt="Furniture Village, Goliath Large Fabric Corner Sofa With Storage Drawers"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Furniture Village</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Goliath Large Fabric Corner Sofa with Storage Drawers in Oxford Moss Green</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Corner sofa that won't break the bank<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Large corner; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat, corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W293cm x D293cm x H89cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> moss green, latte, smoke, mocha, storm, oliver, ivory, brown leather<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Fibre, foam and Dacron cushioning<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>The Goliath is one of the most lounge-worthy sofas I've ever tried – so much so that I didn't even want to get up and leave when trying it at a Furniture Village store. And while this applies to several of the sofas on this list, this one is one of the most affordable designs on this list. Given the large size of corner sofas, they're not the cheapest – but this style's price point is decent in my opinion.

That's why I love this corner configuration. It's not a soft and cushiony type of sofa but I appreciate the support it provided when I tried this sofa, without it being uncomfortable or hard whatsoever.

I couldn’t be happier with my sofa, but if I had the space I would definitely go for a bigger size like this corner number. The design is definitely modern with a low profile and a curved shape which might not be for everyone. But the ability to change the covers is a great benefit – I change mine for the different seasons as apart from various colourways, King Living also offers two different upholstery finishes.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia – my sofa took almost three months to arrive</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable, washable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame warranty</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="1dbf83c4-8459-11f1-848b-1b96caafb2b2">            <a href="https://www.andrewmartin.co.uk/sofas-and-chairs/sofas/truman-large-white-linen-sectional-sofa" data-model-name="Andrew Martin Truman Large Corner Sofa in White Linen" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7h9zpZUQmCJK3mhi3uBphL.jpg" alt="Anrew Martin, Truman Sofa Large White Linen"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Andrew Martin</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Truman Large Corner Sofa in White Linen</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Luxury experience<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Large corner; also available as large 2-3 seat, large 3-4 seat, large 4+ seat, corner with end, corner armless, large U-shape, single seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W330cm x D330cm x H60cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> white linen, natural linen, leather<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Goose feather and down cushion filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Even though I'm personally not one to seek out super soft sofas that you can sink into, I really enjoyed the cloud-like feeling of this luxury sofa design.

But when it comes to the corner configurations of this sofa, I prefer them over some of its lookalikes because of the closed-end design which is so much more comfortable than the alternative.

The modular design which launched only last summer in the UK lends itself perfectly to a corner configuration and because the seat is notsuper deep it can work in a smaller living space. It is a more supportive kind of sofa, rather than a sinking soft style. But again, I personally prefer that. It also comes with removable covers which you can change whenever you like and you can choose from over 200 colours and fabrics.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Curved shape</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable covers</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-reasons-to-buy-a-corner-sofa"><span>Reasons to buy a corner sofa</span></h2><p>There are many benefits to getting a corner sofa for your living room.

So just make sure you choose a style that fits your living space and doesn’t overwhelm it.</p><p>‘The best style of corner sofa depends on the layout of the room, the flow of the space and the position of key focal points such as a TV, fireplace or windows. In smaller rooms, a classic L-shaped design tucked into a corner can maximise floor space, while larger living areas may benefit from a sweeping curved sofa that creates a striking centrepiece,’ Julia at Sofology advises.</p><p>She adds, ‘In smaller living rooms, choosing a corner sofa with a lower back can help create a sense of openness, making the room feel larger while still providing plenty of space to stretch out.’</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="KMKBTgm8U6DzDUHbGWtQQF" name="Best corner sofas katie lee cream" alt="A neutral open-plan living room with a corner off-white sofa and a matching ottoman used as a coffee table" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/KMKBTgm8U6DzDUHbGWtQQF-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/Katie Lee)</span></figcaption></figure><p>John at Swyft concludes, ‘The key is choosing a design with considered proportions so it enhances the room rather than dominates it.

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>If you’re after generous seating and enough space for lounging when watching TV then you can’t go wrong with a corner sofa which will provide you with both, and more. But as with any kind of sofa, not all corner styles are created equal – that’s why I found the best corner sofas for you to choose from.</p><p>As <em>Ideal Home</em>’s Room Decor Editor, it’s part of my job to sit-test as many different sofas available on the market as possible so that you don’t have to.

It's Sofa.com's deepest sofa style – and also one of the deepest sofas I've ever tested, which makes it perfect for lounging and curling up. The Sloane is also completely modular which is a huge benefit. The super spacious corner module is definitely the prime spot that you might have to fight over with the rest of your family.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Given the deep seats and large size of the sofa, the sofa takes up a lot of space </p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Deep seats perfect for lounging</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Wide range of upholstery options</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="1dbf8356-8459-11f1-b14e-fbf95cfaf000">            <a href="https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/goliath-large-fabric-corner-sofa-with-storage-drawers/ZFRSP000000000057216.html" data-model-name="Furniture Village Goliath Large Fabric Corner Sofa with Storage Drawers in Oxford Moss Green" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/jNbRqPt34aaNVzqZyJY8dK.jpg" alt="Furniture Village, Goliath Large Fabric Corner Sofa With Storage Drawers"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Furniture Village</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Goliath Large Fabric Corner Sofa with Storage Drawers in Oxford Moss Green</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Corner sofa that won't break the bank<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Large corner; also available as 2-seat, 3-seat, corner<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W293cm x D293cm x H89cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> moss green, latte, smoke, mocha, storm, oliver, ivory, brown leather<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Fibre, foam and Dacron cushioning<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>The Goliath is one of the most lounge-worthy sofas I've ever tried – so much so that I didn't even want to get up and leave when trying it at a Furniture Village store. And while this applies to several of the sofas on this list, this one is one of the most affordable designs on this list. Given the large size of corner sofas, they're not the cheapest – but this style's price point is decent in my opinion.

That's why I love this corner configuration. It's not a soft and cushiony type of sofa but I appreciate the support it provided when I tried this sofa, without it being uncomfortable or hard whatsoever.

I couldn’t be happier with my sofa, but if I had the space I would definitely go for a bigger size like this corner number. The design is definitely modern with a low profile and a curved shape which might not be for everyone. But the ability to change the covers is a great benefit – I change mine for the different seasons as apart from various colourways, King Living also offers two different upholstery finishes.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- Long lead times; the Australian brand's manufacturing is based in Asia – my sofa took almost three months to arrive</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Removable, washable covers</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>25-year frame warranty</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="1dbf83c4-8459-11f1-848b-1b96caafb2b2">            <a href="https://www.andrewmartin.co.uk/sofas-and-chairs/sofas/truman-large-white-linen-sectional-sofa" data-model-name="Andrew Martin Truman Large Corner Sofa in White Linen" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7h9zpZUQmCJK3mhi3uBphL.jpg" alt="Anrew Martin, Truman Sofa Large White Linen"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Andrew Martin</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Truman Large Corner Sofa in White Linen</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Luxury experience<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Large corner; also available as large 2-3 seat, large 3-4 seat, large 4+ seat, corner with end, corner armless, large U-shape, single seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W330cm x D330cm x H60cm<br><strong>Upholstery options:</strong> white linen, natural linen, leather<br><strong>Materials: </strong>Goose feather and down cushion filling<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>Even though I'm personally not one to seek out super soft sofas that you can sink into, I really enjoyed the cloud-like feeling of this luxury sofa design.

But when it comes to the corner configurations of this sofa, I prefer them over some of its lookalikes because of the closed-end design which is so much more comfortable than the alternative.

This sustainable approach to sofa making is not common – and I was glad to see that the likes of the Wee Bonnie here are not only great for the environment, but also the person that owns and sits on it as I have done.

But if a corner sofa is what you're after, it's actually the Model 06 that I'd recommend. It's also a modular sofa like the Model 03, but the presence of armrests and the scatter cushions the Model 06 comes with makes it perfect for a corner sofa configuration like this one.<br><u><strong>Good to know</strong></u></p><p>- All upholstery options are synthetic</p><p>- Limited upholstery options</p></p>                </div>                <div class="pro-con"><div class="list-pros-wrapper"><h4 class="list-pros-label">Pros</h4><ul class="list-pros"><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Modular design</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Flat-pack box delivery</li><li class='list-item list-item-pros'>Next-day delivery available</li></ul></div></div>            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="1dbf8568-8459-11f1-8edb-c16e63350e69">            <a href="https://www.kingliving.co.uk/shop/living/sofas/aura-modular-sofa/aurmx-cnr-2800-uk?Legs=Universal_Leg_H30_X_D47_BLK&Cover=Leura_Natural_White" data-model-name="Aura Corner Modular Sofa in Leura Natural White" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/6dyqaFouqmkZ6YKxTyws5T.jpg" alt="King Living, Aura Corner Modular Sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>King Living</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Aura Corner Modular Sofa in Leura Natural White</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><u><strong>At a glance</strong></u><br><strong>Best for:</strong> Curved modular design with removable covers<br><strong>Configuration:</strong> Corner; also available as chaise, corner with chaise, L-shape, 3-seat, 2-seat, single-seat modules<br><strong>Measurements:</strong> W280cm x D280cm x H82cm<br><strong>Upholstery options: </strong>Over 200 colours, 35 fabrics<br><strong>Materials:</strong> Steel frame with five layers of CFC-free foam and fibres<br><u><strong>What the editors say</strong></u><br>If you're after a curved corner sofa that doesn't take too much space - like the aforementioned John Lewis Lozenge for example - then King Living's Aura would be my top pick. The modular design which launched only last summer in the UK lends itself perfectly to a corner configuration and because the seat is notsuper deep it can work in a smaller living space. It is a more supportive kind of sofa, rather than a sinking soft style. But again, I personally prefer that.

So just make sure you choose a style that fits your living space and doesn’t overwhelm it.</p><p>‘The best style of corner sofa depends on the layout of the room, the flow of the space and the position of key focal points such as a TV, fireplace or windows. In smaller rooms, a classic L-shaped design tucked into a corner can maximise floor space, while larger living areas may benefit from a sweeping curved sofa that creates a striking centrepiece,’ Julia at Sofology advises.</p><p>She adds, ‘In smaller living rooms, choosing a corner sofa with a lower back can help create a sense of openness, making the room feel larger while still providing plenty of space to stretch out.’</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="KMKBTgm8U6DzDUHbGWtQQF" name="Best corner sofas katie lee cream" alt="A neutral open-plan living room with a corner off-white sofa and a matching ottoman used as a coffee table" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/KMKBTgm8U6DzDUHbGWtQQF-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2000" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future PLC/Katie Lee)</span></figcaption></figure><p>John at Swyft concludes, ‘The key is choosing a design with considered proportions so it enhances the room rather than dominates it.

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Holly is a Content Editor at&lt;em&gt; Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; and has been working at the brand since June 2023. Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>There's no doubt about it - my taste definitely doesn't match my budget. While I hope that someday it does match up, I'm glad for what this mismatch has taught me: how to shop the sales. Being a bargain hunter is one of the most satisfying hobbies, and the <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/sale/category/homeware" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Oliver Bonas sale</a> has bargains in abundance. </p><p>The instantly recognisable colourful homeware from Oliver Bonas is guaranteed to add joy to any interior, but there's no denying that some of the larger pieces come with a high price tag. While there are plenty of trinkets to shop in the sale that would also make perfect gifts, it's the bigger ticket items that I've got my eye on. </p><p>While it might not be the season to have indoor lighting top of mind, shopping out of season is one of my favourite hacks for scoring a bargain. It's where you'll see some of the biggest discounts; the<a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/josep-natural-rattan-woven-lamp-shade" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> Josep Natural Rattan Woven Lamp Shade</a> is a personal favourite of mine at just £27.

But not all children’s rugs are created equal – that’s why I’ve rounded up 12 playroom rugs that come highly recommended by parents, including the <em>Ideal Home </em>editors who have kids of their own. </p><p>Playroom rugs offer the perfect cushioning for any ground-based play. So when shopping for the perfect rug for your little one’s <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/childrens-room/childrens-room-ideas/playroom-ideas-35498">playroom</a>, it’s important to factor that in and choose a design that’s soft enough for your kids to comfortably sit and lie on for an extended period of time.</p><p>Stains and spillages are very common with children so a rug design that’s easy to clean is going to make your life a lot easier. But while the practicalities are of the highest importance, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style and whimsy as there are many chic and adorable children’s rugs out there. </p><p>But if you’re not sure <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/where-to-buy-a-rug">where to buy the best rug</a> for your little one’s playroom, I’ve done the research so that you don’t have to and found 12 of the best rated rugs available, including the one that our Senior Digital Editor, <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/author/jenny-mcfarlane">Jenny McFarlane</a> couldn’t recommend enough – the <a href="https://totterandtumble.co.uk/products/morris-co-strawberry-thief-playmat" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Totter and Tumble Morris & Co.

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Given that children spend a lot of time playing on the floor, a playroom rug is simply a must-have. But not all children’s rugs are created equal – that’s why I’ve rounded up 12 playroom rugs that come highly recommended by parents, including the <em>Ideal Home </em>editors who have kids of their own. </p><p>Playroom rugs offer the perfect cushioning for any ground-based play. So when shopping for the perfect rug for your little one’s <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/childrens-room/childrens-room-ideas/playroom-ideas-35498">playroom</a>, it’s important to factor that in and choose a design that’s soft enough for your kids to comfortably sit and lie on for an extended period of time.</p><p>Stains and spillages are very common with children so a rug design that’s easy to clean is going to make your life a lot easier. But while the practicalities are of the highest importance, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style and whimsy as there are many chic and adorable children’s rugs out there. </p><p>But if you’re not sure <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/where-to-buy-a-rug">where to buy the best rug</a> for your little one’s playroom, I’ve done the research so that you don’t have to and found 12 of the best rated rugs available, including the one that our Senior Digital Editor, <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/author/jenny-mcfarlane">Jenny McFarlane</a> couldn’t recommend enough – the <a href="https://totterandtumble.co.uk/products/morris-co-strawberry-thief-playmat" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Totter and Tumble Morris & Co.

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>I don’t know about you but I often come across furniture or decor designed for children’s rooms but it’s so pretty and stylish that I’d happily use it myself. When it comes to playroom storage, it’s not exactly known for being the most aesthetically pleasing – and yet, it can be. I tracked down 12 of the most stylish pieces of toy storage furniture that both you and your little ones will love.</p><p>Most of the common <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/childrens-room/childrens-room-ideas/toy-storage-ideas-283190">toy storage ideas</a> favour brightly coloured plastic bins and cube storage units like the <a href="https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/cat/kallax-series-27534/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">IKEA KALLAX</a>. But there’s so much more than that available on the market – and it doesn’t have to be super expensive either. Google Trends reports a more than 5000% increase in searches for 'playroom storage' so I'm here to deliver.</p><p>Whether it’s swapping out a plastic toy storage crate for a natural <a href="https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1107975001.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">rattan toy box like this one from H&M Home</a> or opting for the chic <a href="https://www.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-350300945.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">La Redoute Ptilu bookcase</a> with rattan inserts rather than the usual <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/childrens-room/childrens-room-decor/ikea-playroom-ideas">IKEA playroom ideas</a>, there are plenty of creative, stylish yet whimsical <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/childrens-room/childrens-room-ideas/playroom-ideas-35498">playroom ideas</a> on this list. And if you’re looking for a little <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/diy-and-decorating/easy-diy-projects-246320">easy DIY project</a>, I recommend snapping up <a

So finding kitchenware that saves on space, rather than taking up too much of it, is the secret to ensuring that your <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/kitchen/kitchen-ideas/kitchen-storage-ideas-217780">kitchen storage ideas</a> are as efficient as possible. </p><p>Larger items such as pots, pans and baking trays can be the trickiest items to find storage for, particularly in a small kitchen where cupboards and drawers come at a premium. Instead of storing pans on your hob, or creating toppling towers of bowls within a cupboard, I've hunted out the very best pieces of nesting kitchenware on the high street. </p><p>There are few things as satisfying as plastic food containers that nest perfectly within one another (especially if the lids are kept together too), and opening your drawers to such a sight is guaranteed to make any day a bit brighter. Nesting or stackable kitchenware means you get to spend less time tidying and organising and more time enjoying your kitchen like it was intended. </p><p>From the <a href="https://www.josephjoseph.com/products/space-28cm-non-stick-saute-pan-lid-blue" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Joseph Joseph folding-handle pans</a> that have revolutionised my kitchen drawer storage to <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-nesting-stainless-steel-mixing-bowls-set-of-3-silver/p111880057" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">nesting stainless steel bowls</a> that simplify food preparation. I've tried a number of these products in my own tiny kitchen, so I can vouch for the quality. </p><p>I've included everything from crockery and utensils to measuring jugs and cast-iron cookware, so you can slowly nest everything in your kitchen.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="372d23ea-7ad9-11f1-85df-c3828b324b63">            <a

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Holly is a Content Editor at&lt;em&gt; Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; and has been working at the brand since June 2023. Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>In a small kitchen, every inch of space matters. So finding kitchenware that saves on space, rather than taking up too much of it, is the secret to ensuring that your <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/kitchen/kitchen-ideas/kitchen-storage-ideas-217780">kitchen storage ideas</a> are as efficient as possible. </p><p>Larger items such as pots, pans and baking trays can be the trickiest items to find storage for, particularly in a small kitchen where cupboards and drawers come at a premium. Instead of storing pans on your hob, or creating toppling towers of bowls within a cupboard, I've hunted out the very best pieces of nesting kitchenware on the high street. </p><p>There are few things as satisfying as plastic food containers that nest perfectly within one another (especially if the lids are kept together too), and opening your drawers to such a sight is guaranteed to make any day a bit brighter. Nesting or stackable kitchenware means you get to spend less time tidying and organising and more time enjoying your kitchen like it was intended. </p><p>From the <a href="https://www.josephjoseph.com/products/space-28cm-non-stick-saute-pan-lid-blue" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Joseph Joseph folding-handle pans</a> that have revolutionised my kitchen drawer storage to <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-nesting-stainless-steel-mixing-bowls-set-of-3-silver/p111880057" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">nesting stainless steel bowls</a> that simplify food preparation. I've tried a number of these products in my own tiny kitchen, so I can vouch for the quality. </p><p>I've included everything from crockery and utensils to measuring jugs and cast-iron cookware, so you can slowly nest everything in your kitchen.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="372d23ea-7ad9-11f1-85df-c3828b324b63">            <a

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>If you're reading this and feeling the heat, you're not alone. As I write this, it's a lot cooler than it was at the end of June, but <em>2026's Heatwave #2</em> (or is it #3?) is only around the corner.<br><br>So if you're tired of talking about the weather with literally everyone, let me take your mind off it for a blissful few minutes by feasting your eyes on this selection of fabulous and fun homeware buys.</p><p>The premise is simple. Products for every room in your home, with everything costing £20 or less. There are practical and pretty items, as well as quirky and sensible buys, and I won't feature anything that I wouldn't buy for myself.</p><p>Call it a happy side effect of putting together <a href="https://www.magazinesdirect.com/uk/ideal-home-subscription/dp/0b607f57" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Britain's best-selling home magazine</a>, but I get to spend my days trawling through the latest homeware collections from both high street brands and independents. This means that putting together a list of my best buys each month is not only a cinch, but I feel duty-bound to share the love.<br><br>Take these <a href="https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1335594001.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">H&M Home napkins</a> for instance - I first spotted them when <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZXJoFjtD0y/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">I visited the store last month,</a> and I've since snapped them up, along with the matching tablecloth. Breezy and beautiful, with a touch of the tropical, they're perfect for an alfresco lunch in the sun. Then there's this genius <a href="https://www.lakeland.co.uk/products/lakeland-500ml-amber-spray-bottle" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">glass spray bottle from Lakeland</a> - it's perfect for decanting cleaning sprays into for a more streamlined space. Alternatively, you could fill it with water and use it to spritz your houseplants - they'll thank you for it.</p><p>There's pretty much something for every room in the home, both indoors and out, or wherever you might be hiding from the heat for the next few weeks... </p><p>Don't forget to check back again in a month's time for a fresh new selection of bargain buys!</p>        <div

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Ginevra Benedetti has been the Deputy Editor of &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; magazine since 2021, having first joined the team in 2011. She currently oversees the publication of the brand’s magazine each month, editing, writing and commissioning, from planning through to publication. With a career in magazines spanning nearly twenty years, she has worked for the majority of the UK’s interiors magazines and websites, both as staff and as a freelancer. Just some of the other brands she has written for include &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens, Livingetc, Country Homes &amp; Interiors, Good Homes&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gardeningetc.com&lt;/em&gt;. She has been fortunate enough to have interviewed some of the most talented designers in the business and she&#039;s written about pretty much every area of the home - from shopping and decorating, appliances and home tech, wallpaper and fabric, kitchens and bathrooms, even extensions and conversions.  Having lived in London for over 20 years, she recently moved north and now calls Glasgow home. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can be terribly indecisive… so I’ll go with two! In winter, it’s in the living room curled up on the sofa with a fire going. In Summer, it’s most definitely in our sun-trapped garden. With a few friends over, kids playing on the trampoline, cooking up all sorts on the barbecue, with a glass of something cold in my hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have so many! Scented candles for one. The smoky, musky scents. I’m really not keen on overly floral smells. I’m also a sucker for smart tech and home automation. I do like geeking out on how clever some of the latest tech can be and integrating it into my home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ve just bought a couple of tins of Farrow &amp; Ball’s Studio Green as I plan to repaint my office walls. It’s a really deep shade, but the room gets loads of natural light as it’s at the top of the house, so the colour will lighten up considerably. Once painted, I’ll probably add a simple shelf for some plants and things and some framed pictures. I tend to decorate in stages. I do a little, live with it.. and then tweak. Another result of my indecisiveness!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>If you're reading this and feeling the heat, you're not alone. As I write this, it's a lot cooler than it was at the end of June, but <em>2026's Heatwave #2</em> (or is it #3?) is only around the corner.<br><br>So if you're tired of talking about the weather with literally everyone, let me take your mind off it for a blissful few minutes by feasting your eyes on this selection of fabulous and fun homeware buys.</p><p>The premise is simple. Products for every room in your home, with everything costing £20 or less. There are practical and pretty items, as well as quirky and sensible buys, and I won't feature anything that I wouldn't buy for myself.</p><p>Call it a happy side effect of putting together <a href="https://www.magazinesdirect.com/uk/ideal-home-subscription/dp/0b607f57" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Britain's best-selling home magazine</a>, but I get to spend my days trawling through the latest homeware collections from both high street brands and independents. This means that putting together a list of my best buys each month is not only a cinch, but I feel duty-bound to share the love.<br><br>Take these <a href="https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1335594001.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">H&M Home napkins</a> for instance - I first spotted them when <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZXJoFjtD0y/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">I visited the store last month,</a> and I've since snapped them up, along with the matching tablecloth. Breezy and beautiful, with a touch of the tropical, they're perfect for an alfresco lunch in the sun. Then there's this genius <a href="https://www.lakeland.co.uk/products/lakeland-500ml-amber-spray-bottle" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">glass spray bottle from Lakeland</a> - it's perfect for decanting cleaning sprays into for a more streamlined space. Alternatively, you could fill it with water and use it to spritz your houseplants - they'll thank you for it.</p><p>There's pretty much something for every room in the home, both indoors and out, or wherever you might be hiding from the heat for the next few weeks... </p><p>Don't forget to check back again in a month's time for a fresh new selection of bargain buys!</p>        <div

So, picky bits it is. </p><p>I don't often need an excuse to indulge in a picky bits dinner with all of my favourite picnic-esque items, but summer is the ultimate reason. Whether you're prepping a weeknight supper for children or hosting alfresco on the weekend, opting for small dishes is the simplest solution and also means that everyone is guaranteed to find something they like. </p><p>The right crockery will upgrade any picky bits dinner, whether it's simple chopped carrots or fancy M&S charcuterie nibbles - having a few serving dishes and nibble bowls in your <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/kitchen">kitchen</a> will make any quick dinner feel like a special event. </p><p>I've pulled together some of my favourite host-ware that I love using for Friday night dinners alone and for events when I want to wow guests. Splatterware is my favourite method for adding colour and pattern to a tablescape, and it remains timeless for summers to come - here are 12 of the best picks to shop now. </p>        <div

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Holly is a Content Editor at&lt;em&gt; Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; and has been working at the brand since June 2023. Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>There aren't many unofficial national holidays that I adhere to, but I'm making an exception for National Picky Bits Day, which falls this Saturday, 27th June.  </p><p>And it's come at the perfect time - the heat across the UK has risen to unprecedented levels, so much so that turning on an oven or boiling water to cook dinner would feel like a torture method. So, picky bits it is. </p><p>I don't often need an excuse to indulge in a picky bits dinner with all of my favourite picnic-esque items, but summer is the ultimate reason. Whether you're prepping a weeknight supper for children or hosting alfresco on the weekend, opting for small dishes is the simplest solution and also means that everyone is guaranteed to find something they like. </p><p>The right crockery will upgrade any picky bits dinner, whether it's simple chopped carrots or fancy M&S charcuterie nibbles - having a few serving dishes and nibble bowls in your <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/kitchen">kitchen</a> will make any quick dinner feel like a special event. </p><p>I've pulled together some of my favourite host-ware that I love using for Friday night dinners alone and for events when I want to wow guests. Splatterware is my favourite method for adding colour and pattern to a tablescape, and it remains timeless for summers to come - here are 12 of the best picks to shop now. </p>        <div

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Holly is a Content Editor at&lt;em&gt; Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; and has been working at the brand since June 2023. Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Payday is finally on the horizon, and while I've been successfully resisting my wishlist of home items all month, I think it might finally be time to treat myself to something new for my kitchen. It's also nearly the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/news/amazon-prime-day-174578">Amazon Prime Day sale</a>, which is just the incentive I needed to trawl through some of the retailer's very best homeware picks. </p><p>You would be surprised at what you can find on Amazon - while there are small, affordable brands, there are also big name brands that you can shop - and there's often good deals to be found. </p><p>Whether you want to upgrade some of your kitchen essentials or treat yourself to a few fun pieces of crockery for alfresco dining, you don't have to spend a fortune. I'm personally on the hunt for some colourful kitchen pieces for hosting - so I have my eye on the <a

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Sara Hesikova has been a Content Editor at &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; since June 2024, starting at the title as a News Writer in July 2023. She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>My bathroom is one of the most neglected rooms in my home. Storage and practicality came first, and somehow the pretty extras I always wanted to add just never quite happened. However, now is the time to change that, so I've hunted down some of the chicest bathroom accessories on a budget to zhuzh up my wash space. </p><p>It's easy to see why decorating a bathroom falls to the bottom of the to-do list - it's rarely seen by guests, and you don't spend much time in there. However, adding some decorative touches will go a long way in making a bathroom feel like a more inviting destination in your home, rather than a forgotten room. It also might shock you that you can source many items on Amazon from the comfort of your sofa with next-day delivery.</p><p>You don't need to spend a lot of money or undergo a renovation to make this happen, either. Small touches like towels, shower curtains and storage trays all make a huge difference to how a bathroom looks and feels. In a bid to stick to a budget, I've hunted out some of the very best bathroom finds on <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/ref=nav_logo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Amazon</a> that just might shock you. </p><p>From top brands like Christy and Neom to Amazon brands that look far more expensive than they are, these picks will make a bathroom feel brand new. Plus with the Amazon Prime Day sale kicking off next week, now is the time to snap up some bargains. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4"

Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>My bathroom is one of the most neglected rooms in my home. Storage and practicality came first, and somehow the pretty extras I always wanted to add just never quite happened. However, now is the time to change that, so I've hunted down some of the chicest bathroom accessories on a budget to zhuzh up my wash space. </p><p>It's easy to see why decorating a bathroom falls to the bottom of the to-do list - it's rarely seen by guests, and you don't spend much time in there. However, adding some decorative touches will go a long way in making a bathroom feel like a more inviting destination in your home, rather than a forgotten room. It also might shock you that you can source many items on Amazon from the comfort of your sofa with next-day delivery.</p><p>You don't need to spend a lot of money or undergo a renovation to make this happen, either. Small touches like towels, shower curtains and storage trays all make a huge difference to how a bathroom looks and feels. In a bid to stick to a budget, I've hunted out some of the very best bathroom finds on <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/ref=nav_logo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Amazon</a> that just might shock you. </p><p>From top brands like Christy and Neom to Amazon brands that look far more expensive than they are, these picks will make a bathroom feel brand new. Plus with the Amazon Prime Day sale kicking off next week, now is the time to snap up some bargains. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4"

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>Is there anything better than a sale? I'm a self-confessed bargain hunter, but unfortunately, one that still has high standards with what I like to invest in for myself at home, which is why I was giddy to see that <a href="https://www.dunelm.com/category/sale/all-sale" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Dunelm's Summer Sale</a> has started. And it's bigger than you'd believe. </p><p>While pouring through the pages of kitchenware in the Dunelm sale, I noticed that there were some seriously good finds hidden in there. I've been a fan of The Edited Life collection from Dunelm for a while now and while it's already well priced, the aesthetically pleasing range is even more affordable.  </p><p>Some of my favourite brands are in there too, from Joseph Joseph's thoughtfully engineered kitchen gadgets to Kilner jars, which already feature on every shelf in my kitchen. I've narrowed it down to 24 of my favourite items that I think are worth adding to your basket, and will be sure to make a welcome addition to your <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/kitchen">kitchen ideas</a>.  </p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-the-edited-life"><span>The Edited Life</span></h2><p>The Edited Life is one of my favourite collections that Dunelm makes. The colour palette is soft and muted, so even the most practical pieces of kitchenware are aesthetically pleasing. I've never known a measuring jug to be quite so pretty, and despite being functional, these pieces would look just as good displayed on open shelving. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Holly is a Content Editor at&lt;em&gt; Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; and has been working at the brand since June 2023. Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Is there anything better than a sale? I'm a self-confessed bargain hunter, but unfortunately, one that still has high standards with what I like to invest in for myself at home, which is why I was giddy to see that <a href="https://www.dunelm.com/category/sale/all-sale" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Dunelm's Summer Sale</a> has started. And it's bigger than you'd believe. </p><p>While pouring through the pages of kitchenware in the Dunelm sale, I noticed that there were some seriously good finds hidden in there. I've been a fan of The Edited Life collection from Dunelm for a while now and while it's already well priced, the aesthetically pleasing range is even more affordable.  </p><p>Some of my favourite brands are in there too, from Joseph Joseph's thoughtfully engineered kitchen gadgets to Kilner jars, which already feature on every shelf in my kitchen. I've narrowed it down to 24 of my favourite items that I think are worth adding to your basket, and will be sure to make a welcome addition to your <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/kitchen">kitchen ideas</a>.  </p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-the-edited-life"><span>The Edited Life</span></h2><p>The Edited Life is one of my favourite collections that Dunelm makes. The colour palette is soft and muted, so even the most practical pieces of kitchenware are aesthetically pleasing. I've never known a measuring jug to be quite so pretty, and despite being functional, these pieces would look just as good displayed on open shelving. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Rebecca Knight has been the Deputy Editor on the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; Website since 2022. She graduated with a Masters degree in magazine journalism from City, University of London in 2018, before starting her journalism career as a staff writer on women&#039;s weekly magazines. She fell into the world of homes and interiors after joining the Ideal Home website team in 2019 as a Digital Writer. In 2020 she moved into position of Homes News Editor working across &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens, LivingEtc, Real Homes, Gardeningetc&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; covering everything from the latest viral cleaning hack to the next big interior trend. In 2022 she returned full time to the Ideal Home team, where she indulges her passion for DIY projects. She is currently decorating her first unfurnished rental flat in London and enjoys thrifting through charity shops and high street stores to get a high end look without breaking the bank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is sitting in the living room at my Mum&#039;s house in North Yorkshire. She lives at the top of a hill in the countryside, so the living room has huge windows looking out over the rolling fields below. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m obsessed with vintage crockery, I&#039;m a magpie for scouring charity shop bric-a-brac shelves.  My best finds to date are a set of pastel blue Wedgewood candle stick holders and a set of six cut glass wine tumblers I picked up at a second-hand store in the Lake District. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just moved into my first unfurnished rental flat so we&#039;re busy kitting it out. We&#039;re mostly trying to stick to using second-hand items we&#039;re bought cheaply or picked up for free. We inherited some wooden farmhouse chairs from a family friend that need a little upcycling love so they&#039;re my next big project. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Console tables are the unsung heroes of the furniture world. These slim-line tables are incredibly versatile and can be used in every room of the house, whether that's as a hallway table, a dressing table or behind a sofa. </p><p>My favourite way to use a console table is as a <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/hallway/hallway-ideas/hallway-storage-ideas-210573">hallway storage idea;</a> they work wonders in a narrow hallway to break up the long stretch of wall. They can be styled with table lamps, vases, coffee table books and a few practical storage boxes for your keys and letters. Most console tables nowadays also include a drawer or a ledge underneath to also perch baskets, which is handy for even more storage</p><p>My top tip when choosing the best console table for any <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/hallway/hallway-ideas/narrow-hallway-ideas-289906">narrow hallway ideas </a>or any small room is to opt for a super slimline glass console table, which allows light to pass through it. This means it won't feel like it's encroaching on the space. But beyond that, when it comes to console tables, the world is your oyster; they are the ultimate versatile statement piece. Whether you are after an architectural look, which will instantly elevate a hallway or a mid-century inspired number with more storage space to double as a dressing table, I've rounded up my shortlist of the best console tables.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="2ba185f8-ae3d-4950-9d0f-d2f39a43345f">            <a

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>I try not to jump onto trends too quickly, but when a trend is genuinely beneficial for your health, what's not to love? It is of course, the growing popularity of saunas and ice baths that I'm talking about. Cold water therapy has countless health and wellness benefits, and while historically only found in spas and gyms in the UK, it's easier than ever to house one in your garden.  </p><p>The desire to nest at home hasn't really left us since 2020 forced us to look to our gardens for solace, and in 2026, they're getting an even bigger upgrade with <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/outdoor-living/sauna-and-ice-bath-garden-trend-2026">saunas and ice baths</a> that would make Scandinavian spas jealous.  </p><p>While wood-clad ice baths would certainly look right at home in any garden, some of these come at a higher price point. If you're a seasoned cold water therapy fan then it might be time to invest, but to try out the trend, opting for a more affordable option will ease you in.  </p><p>So, I've rounded up 12 of the best ice baths on the high street, all under £350. Many are much less than this, starting from a mere £15 for an inflatable model that will help you suss out whether a cold dip is for you. A fresh morning dip might be closer than you thought. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="186748b5-dc1a-4dc2-b977-a82eba3d8b28">            <a

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Holly is a Content Editor at&lt;em&gt; Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; and has been working at the brand since June 2023. Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>I try not to jump onto trends too quickly, but when a trend is genuinely beneficial for your health, what's not to love? It is of course, the growing popularity of saunas and ice baths that I'm talking about. Cold water therapy has countless health and wellness benefits, and while historically only found in spas and gyms in the UK, it's easier than ever to house one in your garden.  </p><p>The desire to nest at home hasn't really left us since 2020 forced us to look to our gardens for solace, and in 2026, they're getting an even bigger upgrade with <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/outdoor-living/sauna-and-ice-bath-garden-trend-2026">saunas and ice baths</a> that would make Scandinavian spas jealous.  </p><p>While wood-clad ice baths would certainly look right at home in any garden, some of these come at a higher price point. If you're a seasoned cold water therapy fan then it might be time to invest, but to try out the trend, opting for a more affordable option will ease you in.  </p><p>So, I've rounded up 12 of the best ice baths on the high street, all under £350. Many are much less than this, starting from a mere £15 for an inflatable model that will help you suss out whether a cold dip is for you. A fresh morning dip might be closer than you thought. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="186748b5-dc1a-4dc2-b977-a82eba3d8b28">            <a

Then you check the price and realise it's a bargain? THAT.    That's what this page is all about.  </p><p>Now, while it's always better to have discovered a brilliant bargain yourself, most of us don't have the luxury of time on our hands to scour the shops. So getting a little steer each month to a curated selection of homeware and accessories that is bound to sell out quickly is a no-brainer.</p><p>While putting together <a href="https://www.magazinesdirect.com/uk/ideal-home-subscription/dp/0b607f57" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ideal Home magazine</a> each month, I spend my days browsing through the very latest collections and can confidently say that when it comes to homeware, I know where to find a bargain. I also have a <a href="https://proof.vanilla.tools/idealhome/articles/edit/h3DMYzuB2anJaeHTYQCYoc">£20 Under £20</a> feature in the magazine, too, but I tend to mix it up a little here to include a few extra bits and bobs that have tickled my fancy.</p><p>This time around, I've chosen a summery blue and white theme, with pops of red and coral for good measure. There are fish motifs aplenty and the odd bit of wicker in there, too. My favourite pieces include the <a href="https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1335594001.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">H&M Home Broderie Anglaise napkins</a> (Tropical! but make it classy) and the brilliant value <a href="https://www.dunelm.com/product/churchgate-oud-and-bergamot-crackle-candle-1000243135" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Churchgate Oud and Bergamot Crackle Candle at Dunelm</a>. I love how the wick flickers and crackles like a real fire as it burns.</p><p>Now - each to their own - if this summer coastal look doesn't float your boat, worry not! I'll have a new set of bits in my basket for next month that you can peruse through. Just check back here in a month's time for more...</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="f84fc150-98b3-4b01-b0d1-0b82a2ea1054">            <a

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Ginevra Benedetti has been the Deputy Editor of &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; magazine since 2021, having first joined the team in 2011. She currently oversees the publication of the brand’s magazine each month, editing, writing and commissioning, from planning through to publication. With a career in magazines spanning nearly twenty years, she has worked for the majority of the UK’s interiors magazines and websites, both as staff and as a freelancer. Just some of the other brands she has written for include &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens, Livingetc, Country Homes &amp; Interiors, Good Homes&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gardeningetc.com&lt;/em&gt;. She has been fortunate enough to have interviewed some of the most talented designers in the business and she&#039;s written about pretty much every area of the home - from shopping and decorating, appliances and home tech, wallpaper and fabric, kitchens and bathrooms, even extensions and conversions.  Having lived in London for over 20 years, she recently moved north and now calls Glasgow home. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can be terribly indecisive… so I’ll go with two! In winter, it’s in the living room curled up on the sofa with a fire going. In Summer, it’s most definitely in our sun-trapped garden. With a few friends over, kids playing on the trampoline, cooking up all sorts on the barbecue, with a glass of something cold in my hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have so many! Scented candles for one. The smoky, musky scents. I’m really not keen on overly floral smells. I’m also a sucker for smart tech and home automation. I do like geeking out on how clever some of the latest tech can be and integrating it into my home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ve just bought a couple of tins of Farrow &amp; Ball’s Studio Green as I plan to repaint my office walls. It’s a really deep shade, but the room gets loads of natural light as it’s at the top of the house, so the colour will lighten up considerably. Once painted, I’ll probably add a simple shelf for some plants and things and some framed pictures. I tend to decorate in stages. I do a little, live with it.. and then tweak. Another result of my indecisiveness!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

THAT.    That's what this page is all about.  </p><p>Now, while it's always better to have discovered a brilliant bargain yourself, most of us don't have the luxury of time on our hands to scour the shops. So getting a little steer each month to a curated selection of homeware and accessories that is bound to sell out quickly is a no-brainer.</p><p>While putting together <a href="https://www.magazinesdirect.com/uk/ideal-home-subscription/dp/0b607f57" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ideal Home magazine</a> each month, I spend my days browsing through the very latest collections and can confidently say that when it comes to homeware, I know where to find a bargain. I also have a <a href="https://proof.vanilla.tools/idealhome/articles/edit/h3DMYzuB2anJaeHTYQCYoc">£20 Under £20</a> feature in the magazine, too, but I tend to mix it up a little here to include a few extra bits and bobs that have tickled my fancy.</p><p>This time around, I've chosen a summery blue and white theme, with pops of red and coral for good measure. There are fish motifs aplenty and the odd bit of wicker in there, too. My favourite pieces include the <a href="https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1335594001.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">H&M Home Broderie Anglaise napkins</a> (Tropical! but make it classy) and the brilliant value <a href="https://www.dunelm.com/product/churchgate-oud-and-bergamot-crackle-candle-1000243135" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Churchgate Oud and Bergamot Crackle Candle at Dunelm</a>. I love how the wick flickers and crackles like a real fire as it burns.</p><p>Now - each to their own - if this summer coastal look doesn't float your boat, worry not! I'll have a new set of bits in my basket for next month that you can peruse through. Just check back here in a month's time for more...</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="f84fc150-98b3-4b01-b0d1-0b82a2ea1054">            <a

your child. Whilst investing in a dinosaur or princess-themed bedroom is great fun whilst they're little, a few years down the line, you're likely to be redecorating. And that isn't cheap.</p><p>Instead, the Scandi look can be tweaked and restyled to suit your child's growing needs and maturing tastes as they get older. That means this kid's bedroom decor idea has longevity.</p><p>Not only is this look contemporary and fun, but it also has timeless appeal. And I think that's exactly what you want for a children's bedroom.</p> ]]></dc:content>

She&#039;s spent the last five years researching and writing about what makes for the best night’s sleep during the day and testing out sleep products to find the best-in-class by night. So far she’s clocked up over 10,000 hours of pillow, duvet, and mattress testing experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our go-to for all things sleep-related, she’s slept on and under bestselling products from Simba, Emma, Hypnos, Tempur, Silentnight, Panda, and many many more. As a hot sleeper, Amy is always on the lookout for the most breathable bedding, but she also leads a wider team of testers to ensure our product testing encompasses both hot sleepers, cold sleepers, front sleepers, back sleepers, side sleepers, and everything in-between.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In her mission to unlock the secrets to a good night&#039;s sleep, Amy regularly attends product launches, speaks to industry insiders, spends time climbing on and off mattresses in showrooms across the country, and travels to visit factories and testing facilities – most recently the IKEA testing facility in Älmhult Sweden where the brand’s mattresses are put through vigorous testing processes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amy also lends her expertise to our furniture guides, sharing her design knowledge with our readers to help them choose the right sofa for their interior or the best garden furniture for their outside space.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before she joined &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;, Amy worked on branding and marketing at various interior and homeware brands, before joining the editorial teams at &lt;em&gt;Livingetc&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Real Homes&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gardeningetc&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;I stare at a screen a lot of the day at work, so somewhere immersed in nature and away from technology is my happy place; generally by water, woodland, or up a hill. I also love trying to bring the soothing effects of nature into my home with lots of plants, natural materials, textures, and nature-inspired colour schemes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;I definitely have a cushion addiction, to the extent I had to specifically look for a sofa that was deep enough to allow me to pile them up high! On the plus side they’re a super easy and affordable way to switch up your decor and refresh a bed or seating, and, obviously, really comfortable! On the downside I now have two blanket boxes filled with ‘spares’… That and houseplants, they seem to multiply fairly regularly too…&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Inspired by my favourite outdoor landscapes I’m planning on painting my desk green to make me feel like I’m outdoors even when I’m not.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>When it comes to decorating your little one's bedroom, there are plenty of great <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/bedroom/childrens-room">children's bedroom ideas</a> out there. However, in my opinion, there's one kids' bedroom trend that never seems to date, and that's the Scandinavian look. </p><p>Think warm wood, muted colours, clean lines, and simple yet well-considered design details. </p><p>Because of its simplicity, this design style is also perfect for a room where we want to encourage calm and rest and reduce overstimulation.</p><p>And luckily, right now the high street is full of some great Scandi-cool kids' bedroom furniture and decor. I've rounded up some of my top picks below.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="4597bdac-6ec9-4ac8-a7ac-24004dd347ed">            <a

your child. Whilst investing in a dinosaur or princess-themed bedroom is great fun whilst they're little, a few years down the line, you're likely to be redecorating. And that isn't cheap.</p><p>Instead, the Scandi look can be tweaked and restyled to suit your child's growing needs and maturing tastes as they get older. That means this kid's bedroom decor idea has longevity.</p><p>Not only is this look contemporary and fun, but it also has timeless appeal. And I think that's exactly what you want for a children's bedroom.</p>

She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>As a Room Decor Editor here at <em>Ideal Home</em>, I can’t bear the sight of furniture that’s ugly or even just meh. That includes more practical designs like storage. For some reason, many people have accepted the notion that storage solutions can be an eyesore because they’re a functional eyesore. Shoe storage is one of the worst offenders – but I refuse this notion and have found 20 pieces of stylish shoe storage as an antidote.</p><p>When I set out to search for aesthetically pleasing <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/hallway/hallway-ideas/hallway-shoe-storage-ideas-288488https://www.idealhome.co.uk/hallway/hallway-ideas/hallway-storage-ideas-210573">hallway storage ideas</a> for my shoes, I thought it might be difficult to find the few good ones among the sea of bad.

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>A bistro set is one of those easy and versatile designs that I believe any outdoor space can benefit from. It makes for the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or a light summer lunch. And if space is an issue, it can be easily folded and put away to make room for other things. On top of all of that, most of them won’t break the bank – and I’ve found the best 12 bistro sets under £100 for you to shop now.</p><p>I live in a building with a shared garden and I’m currently considering getting a little bistro set, given there’s currently no <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/garden-seating-ideas-225435">garden seating</a> – since it’s not entirely my own garden, I think a budget-friendly bistro set is the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-garden-furniture-223323">best garden furniture</a> for me at the moment. But even if you’re in need of some <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/garden-ideas/small-garden-ideas-2-174377">small garden ideas</a> or something for your compact balcony, a bistro set is the perfect investment.</p><p>‘For those with limited outdoor space, such as a small balcony or courtyard, I’d recommend a bistro set,’ says Magdalena Gierasinska, head of product and displays at <a href="https://www.barkerandstonehouse.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Barker and Stonehouse</a>. ‘Bistro sets are compact, making them the perfect option for those with small gardens. Alternatively, bistro sets can be used in a small dining zone in the garden – they comfortably accommodate two people for an intimate outdoor dining experience.’</p><p>And whether you love colour or prefer neutral shades, this list of my top picks has something for everyone. ‘Brightly coloured bistro sets add interest to the garden or balcony, however, in recent years, more neutral colours have proven popular,’ Magdalena adds.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="00a4885c-73bc-4cbe-be61-0b7d77e23d57">            <a

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Sara Hesikova has been a Content Editor at &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; since June 2024, starting at the title as a News Writer in July 2023. She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>A bistro set is one of those easy and versatile designs that I believe any outdoor space can benefit from. It makes for the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or a light summer lunch. And if space is an issue, it can be easily folded and put away to make room for other things. On top of all of that, most of them won’t break the bank – and I’ve found the best 12 bistro sets under £100 for you to shop now.</p><p>I live in a building with a shared garden and I’m currently considering getting a little bistro set, given there’s currently no <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/garden-seating-ideas-225435">garden seating</a> – since it’s not entirely my own garden, I think a budget-friendly bistro set is the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-garden-furniture-223323">best garden furniture</a> for me at the moment. But even if you’re in need of some <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/garden-ideas/small-garden-ideas-2-174377">small garden ideas</a> or something for your compact balcony, a bistro set is the perfect investment.</p><p>‘For those with limited outdoor space, such as a small balcony or courtyard, I’d recommend a bistro set,’ says Magdalena Gierasinska, head of product and displays at <a href="https://www.barkerandstonehouse.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Barker and Stonehouse</a>. ‘Bistro sets are compact, making them the perfect option for those with small gardens. Alternatively, bistro sets can be used in a small dining zone in the garden – they comfortably accommodate two people for an intimate outdoor dining experience.’</p><p>And whether you love colour or prefer neutral shades, this list of my top picks has something for everyone. ‘Brightly coloured bistro sets add interest to the garden or balcony, however, in recent years, more neutral colours have proven popular,’ Magdalena adds.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="00a4885c-73bc-4cbe-be61-0b7d77e23d57">            <a

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Sara Hesikova has been a Content Editor at &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; since June 2024, starting at the title as a News Writer in July 2023. She is now also the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms/ideal-home-certified-expert#section-ideal-home-s-certified-expert-for-furniture-sara-hesikova&quot;&gt;Ideal Home Certified Expert in Training on Furniture&lt;/a&gt;, and so far has tested 80 different sofas. Sara brings the &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;’s readership features and news stories from the world of homes and interiors, as well as trend-led pieces, shopping round-ups and more, focusing on all things room decor, specialising in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and dining rooms. Graduating from London College of Fashion with a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism in 2016, she got her start in niche fashion and lifestyle magazines like &lt;em&gt;Glass&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Alvar&lt;/em&gt; as a writer and editor before making the leap into interiors, working with the likes of interiors and lifestyle title 91 Magazine. She feels that fashion and interiors are intrinsically connected – if someone puts an effort into what they wear, they most likely also care about what they surround themselves with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from journalism, Sara has also dabbled in freelance copywriting and has worked with large retailers like Selfridges and Farfetch, as well as smaller brands such as Yves Delorme luxury bed linen. Despite working with some of these luxury platforms and brands, she always strives to buy second hand where possible and is always up for an upcycling or DIY project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since investing in the sofa of my dreams, I just love sitting and lounging on it or simply just looking at it. It&#039;s probably the nicest, coolest thing I own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These change so often! But one constant is ceramics. To the point that I actually took pottery classes to make some myself and I’m planning on doing more to improve my currently very low skills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve recently moved to a rather tiny, unfurnished space with very minimal storage. So the whole place is a project really. Incorporating more storage solutions and painting my skirting boards and doors (which are all currently matt black and scuff so easily) are my top priorities right now.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>First, we’ve seen the popularity of indoor lighting rise over the last couple of years as layered lighting schemes and stylish table lamps have become all the rage. Now, this trend is spreading into our outdoor spaces as garden lighting becomes high in demand – and outdoor floor lamps are the style that’s really taking off this season.</p><p>I’ve never seen such high demand - Google Trends report 70% increase in searches for ‘outdoor floor lamp’ just in the last month - coupled with a strong and plentiful offering of garden floor lamps as this year.

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>Making great coffee at home doesn't need to be expensive or cost you the entire width of your kitchen worktop. That's proven by the rise in popularity of coffee drippers, which allow you to make 'pour-over' coffee at home without having to turn on an appliance.</p><p>I think a good quality coffee dripper probably works as a no-tech alternative to one of the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-coffee-machine-269954">best coffee machines</a>, offering you a more analogue, mindful brewing method on days when you want simplicity over everything else. Affordable and fuss-free, a dripper is a fabulously chic buy for having a slow morning to yourself.</p><p>The mechanics of a dripper are simple. Place one over your mug, insert a paper filter and ground coffee. Then add a splash of hot water and wait 30 seconds for the 'bloom' of your coffee to occur before pouring over the rest in gentle circles to allow your coffee to percolate. It's a method that allows gravity to do all the legwork and leaves you with a smooth, black coffee at the end. </p><p>If you like the sound of that, then I think you'll love the drippers I've collated here, including my absolute favourite pick from <a href="https://uk.fable.com/products/the-coffee-dripper" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fable (for £34) </a>– which inspired this feature.</p>

Since she started testing products four years ago, she has evaluated hundreds of small appliances in both controlled test environments at the Ideal Home test facility and in her own kitchen, giving her insight into what &lt;em&gt;actually&lt;/em&gt; works for home cooks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since joining in 2022, she&#039;s worked to apply real-world testing to every piece of kitchen-related buying advice you see on the website, which has involved reviewing everything from ice-cream makers to mixing bowls. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While her expertise spans everything you would want to hand in a kitchen, she&#039;s particularly known on the team for her comprehensive knowledge of air fryers, having systematically tested pretty much every model released since 2022. She’s tested bestselling products from the biggest names in coffee machines and cooking appliances, including the likes of Ninja, De’Longhi, Sage, Breville, Russell Hobbs and more. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To stay ahead of the next must-have kitchen buy, Molly regularly immerses herself in the world of kitchen technology, from exploring the research and testing facilities of industry leaders like Ninja Kitchen to attending cooking classes with Le Creuset and heading off to major consumer shows like IFA in Berlin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Her hands-on approach and deep technical understanding allow her to spot not just what&#039;s new, but what&#039;s actually going to make a difference in your home when it comes to new kitchen tech. Before joining her treasured &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt;, she developed her expertise whilst working on the editorial teams for &lt;em&gt;Real Homes, Homes &amp; Gardens, and Livingetc.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;The beach! I love finding a great new beach but I have a real soft spot for UK ones (rain or shine!) so I&#039;ll pick one either in my hometown of Bournemouth or in Cornwall. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kitchen gadgets are my ultimate home addiction, even outside of work time. Luckily I have a section of floor-to-ceiling open shelving in my flat where I can stash my favourites, but I still find myself overflowing with sourdough jars and herb keepers. It&#039;s a great perk of the job!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;I need to find a way to display my cast-iron cookware stylishly. The farmhouse-style kitchen of my dreams with open shelving is off the cards for now, so I&#039;m looking for a way to replicate the look in my rental kitchen for a bit less.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Making great coffee at home doesn't need to be expensive or cost you the entire width of your kitchen worktop. That's proven by the rise in popularity of coffee drippers, which allow you to make 'pour-over' coffee at home without having to turn on an appliance.</p><p>I think a good quality coffee dripper probably works as a no-tech alternative to one of the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-coffee-machine-269954">best coffee machines</a>, offering you a more analogue, mindful brewing method on days when you want simplicity over everything else. Affordable and fuss-free, a dripper is a fabulously chic buy for having a slow morning to yourself.</p><p>The mechanics of a dripper are simple. Place one over your mug, insert a paper filter and ground coffee. Then add a splash of hot water and wait 30 seconds for the 'bloom' of your coffee to occur before pouring over the rest in gentle circles to allow your coffee to percolate. It's a method that allows gravity to do all the legwork and leaves you with a smooth, black coffee at the end. </p><p>If you like the sound of that, then I think you'll love the drippers I've collated here, including my absolute favourite pick from <a href="https://uk.fable.com/products/the-coffee-dripper" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fable (for £34) </a>– which inspired this feature.</p>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Holly is a Content Editor at&lt;em&gt; Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; and has been working at the brand since June 2023. Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Pizza ovens are well and truly the hottest commodity you can have in your garden this summer. We've slowly seen them ramp up in popularity over the last few years - what started as a mere pizza oven is now evolving into full-blown pizza oven set-ups that rival your favourite pizzeria.  </p><p>Whether you've already invested in one of the <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-pizza-ovens-169669">best pizza ovens</a> or you're about to make a purchase, you'll need a proper pizza oven stand in order to use it safely and create a dedicated zone for cooking in your garden. </p><p>So, I've hunted high and low for the 12 best pizza oven stands on the high street, ranging from folding tables and simple metal stands to wooden units to create a dedicated <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/garden-ideas/outdoor-kitchens-171952">outdoor kitchen</a> area. Our favourite pizza oven brands, <a href="https://www.gozney.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gozney</a> and <a href="https://uk.ooni.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ooni </a>have some fantastic stands made specifically for their pizza ovens, but there are also so many high street options to suit your space.   </p><p>All under £350, here's what to shop before the next sunny weekend rolls around. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="70b08461-3af2-49e9-a96c-1616e7482ed4">            <a

I have a small balcony to work with so I love those compact bistro sets to bring European café terrace vibes for myself, meanwhile I'm helping friends find sculptural loungers for slow weekends and statement sofas to turn their garden into an extension of the living room.</p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-bistro-sets"><span>Bistro sets</span></h2><p>Small-space friendly but big on style, these bistro sets are some of the best buys in the sales right now.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="4898b5e6-38eb-4358-baff-e81eaecca405">            <a href="https://www.barkerandstonehouse.co.uk/garden-furniture/tavira-bistro-set" data-model-name="Tavira Bistro Set" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wLePPoft3Ept2fwxRhmucU.jpg" alt="Dunelm, Tavira Bistro Set"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Dunelm</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Tavira Bistro Set</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="5fc9ec0d-661a-434a-a8d7-32a1d5d42e1b">            <a href="https://www.gardentrading.co.uk/products/rive-droite-bistro-set-small-cove-blue.html" data-model-name="Rive Droite Bistro Set -

Thea became the Deputy News &amp; Houses Editor of &lt;em&gt;LivingEtc&lt;/em&gt;, and over the years held positions at &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Country Homes &amp; Interiors&lt;/em&gt; before moving to working with the print and digital versions of &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; in 2021 and her current role in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thea wanted to write for a living ever since she was a teenager. After school in Northern Ireland, she attended the University of Exeter to read English Literature before gaining an MA in Magazine Journalism from City University, London. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although she specialised in Security and Organised Crime, Thea spent some time working on fashion and lifestyle titles, everything from &lt;em&gt;Stylist&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;The Mail on Sunday&lt;/em&gt; before the process of styling her rental made her realise her love of interior design.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thea has interests across every area of homes - from kitchens and colour schemes to technology and architecture. Over the past couple of years she has interviewed some of the most renowned names in interior design and is passionate about talking to people to discover new ideas, theories and ways of looking at design.   In addition to her role at Ideal Home, Thea is studying for a diploma in interior design with The Interior Design Institute.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where&#039;s your happy place?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Anywhere near a coastline. Although ideally in a cute beach house that fully leans in to the theme with bleached woods, woven textures and blues tones aplenty!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What&#039;s your home addiction?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I adore candles. As soon as the sun goes down I get trigger happy with my matches to set the perfect relaxing mood. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Very glamorously it&#039;s winter-proofing my Victorian flat – the current insulation is next to none. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>If there’s one thing I’ll happily admit, it’s that I have expensive taste when it comes to outdoor furniture – just not always the wallet to match. So I’ve been doing what I do best and trawling the seasonal sales at the likes of <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/list/save-up-to-30-percent-on-selected-garden-and-outdoor-with-codes-green10-green20-and-green30/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Habitat</a>, <a href="https://www.dunelm.com/category/garden/all-garden?highlights=all-sale" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Dunelm</a> and <a href="https://swyfthome.com/collections/sale" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Swyft</a> to find the garden pieces that look far pricier than they actually are.</p><p>What I've really been taken by are these clever, design-led pieces that will instantly elevate an outdoor space. I have a small balcony to work with so I love those compact bistro sets to bring European café terrace vibes for myself, meanwhile I'm helping friends find sculptural loungers for slow weekends and statement sofas to turn their garden into an extension of the living room.</p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-bistro-sets"><span>Bistro sets</span></h2><p>Small-space friendly but big on style, these bistro sets are some of the best buys in the sales right now.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="4898b5e6-38eb-4358-baff-e81eaecca405">            <a href="https://www.barkerandstonehouse.co.uk/garden-furniture/tavira-bistro-set" data-model-name="Tavira Bistro Set" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:133.37%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wLePPoft3Ept2fwxRhmucU.jpg" alt="Dunelm, Tavira Bistro Set"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Dunelm</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Tavira Bistro Set</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4" data-id="5fc9ec0d-661a-434a-a8d7-32a1d5d42e1b">            <a href="https://www.gardentrading.co.uk/products/rive-droite-bistro-set-small-cove-blue.html" data-model-name="Rive Droite Bistro Set -

                                                                                                <dc:content><![CDATA[ <p>While the past few months haven't supplied much sunny weather, it has given us lots of time to ponder over our garden plans - from <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/garden-ideas/outdoor-kitchens-171952">outdoor kitchen ideas</a> to new garden furniture, we're even more excited by the premise of a warm weekend than ever before. I believe there's one underrated and often overlooked finishing touch, however, that needs more attention. </p><p>Even when the sun is shining, you need to think about how your alfresco dining and cooking space will transform from day to night. <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/garden-ideas/garden-lighting-ideas-37068">Garden lighting </a>is essential to ensuring you can entertain well into the night, and it helps to create ambience when hosting friends and family. </p><p>From wall lights and pendants to table lamps that can be transported from indoors to the garden, I've rounded up 16 of the top outdoor lighting picks that will complete an outdoor kitchen. If you have a built-in kitchen area, wall lights are perfect for adding to a fence or wall to flank a <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-bbqs-199688">BBQ</a> or <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-pizza-ovens-169669">pizza oven</a>, while pendant lights add a homely feel to a bar area, outdoor kitchen island or a dining zone. </p><p>The key is to use the same ethos around lighting that you would for the interior of your home - layer task lighting and create specific zones with larger lighting styles so that the space has atmosphere in every corner, and is usable when the sun goes down. </p><p>Outdoor lighting can be fun and affordable, too - adding festoon lighting and rechargeable table lamps will be perfect for small gardens or balconies, and you don't need to commit to hardwiring anything in. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4"

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Holly is a Content Editor at&lt;em&gt; Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; and has been working at the brand since June 2023. Specialising in kitchens and bathroom content, Holly spends her time figuring out how to make these spaces practical for everyday life, as well as undoubtedly stylish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to this, she was Features Editor at &lt;em&gt;Top Ten Reviews&lt;/em&gt; where she focussed on practical, how-to home and garden advice. Holly graduated with a bachelor&#039;s degree in English Literature from The University of Birmingham in 2020, and immediately joined the editorial team at Howdens where her love for writing about interiors (and kitchens!) blossomed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she&#039;s not reading or writing, you can find her exploring the best London bars and brunch spots, or planning the next budget-friendly city break. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IDEAL HOME TRUTHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is curling up with a book or reality TV on the chaise section of the sofa in my West London flat, right next to the sash window. The living room is south-facing so this spot feels like I&#039;m sunbathing, even in the winter months. When I need a break from the city, I love relaxing at my parent&#039;s house in the Bedfordshire countryside. The view of uninterrupted fields and an alpaca farm right from my bed never gets old, especially on a slow morning with a coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ever-expanding book collection is both a blessing and a curse. My favourite books take pride of place on the built-in shelves in my living room, and they&#039;re now sprawling out into every corner of the flat. I can&#039;t walk into a bookshop without adding to my TBR list, so I&#039;m constantly looking for clever storage solutions to show them off. Currently, I&#039;m on the lookout for pastel Scandi-inspired storage crates to stack books in, as well as a floating shelf for the wall. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having recently moved into a new flat (just down the road), I am working on revamping the space. It&#039;s darker than my previous flat so making sure the decor is bright and inviting is my biggest goal. I&#039;m also leaning towards a more traditional aesthetic in my bedroom so finding the perfect pattern-clashing decor and cosy wall light to add to my bedside is top of my priority list. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>While the past few months haven't supplied much sunny weather, it has given us lots of time to ponder over our garden plans - from <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/garden-ideas/outdoor-kitchens-171952">outdoor kitchen ideas</a> to new garden furniture, we're even more excited by the premise of a warm weekend than ever before. I believe there's one underrated and often overlooked finishing touch, however, that needs more attention. </p><p>Even when the sun is shining, you need to think about how your alfresco dining and cooking space will transform from day to night. <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/garden/garden-ideas/garden-lighting-ideas-37068">Garden lighting </a>is essential to ensuring you can entertain well into the night, and it helps to create ambience when hosting friends and family. </p><p>From wall lights and pendants to table lamps that can be transported from indoors to the garden, I've rounded up 16 of the top outdoor lighting picks that will complete an outdoor kitchen. If you have a built-in kitchen area, wall lights are perfect for adding to a fence or wall to flank a <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-bbqs-199688">BBQ</a> or <a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/buying-guide-reviews/best-pizza-ovens-169669">pizza oven</a>, while pendant lights add a homely feel to a bar area, outdoor kitchen island or a dining zone. </p><p>The key is to use the same ethos around lighting that you would for the interior of your home - layer task lighting and create specific zones with larger lighting styles so that the space has atmosphere in every corner, and is usable when the sun goes down. </p><p>Outdoor lighting can be fun and affordable, too - adding festoon lighting and rechargeable table lamps will be perfect for small gardens or balconies, and you don't need to commit to hardwiring anything in. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero-4"

She graduated with a Masters degree in magazine journalism from City, University of London in 2018, before starting her journalism career as a staff writer on women&#039;s weekly magazines. She fell into the world of homes and interiors after joining the Ideal Home website team in 2019 as a Digital Writer. In 2020 she moved into position of Homes News Editor working across &lt;em&gt;Homes &amp; Gardens, LivingEtc, Real Homes, Gardeningetc&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Ideal Home&lt;/em&gt; covering everything from the latest viral cleaning hack to the next big interior trend. In 2022 she returned full time to the Ideal Home team, where she indulges her passion for DIY projects. She is currently decorating her first unfurnished rental flat in London and enjoys thrifting through charity shops and high street stores to get a high end look without breaking the bank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ideal Home Truths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where’s your happy place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My happy place is sitting in the living room at my Mum&#039;s house in North Yorkshire. She lives at the top of a hill in the countryside, so the living room has huge windows looking out over the rolling fields below. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s your home addiction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m obsessed with vintage crockery, I&#039;m a magpie for scouring charity shop bric-a-brac shelves.  My best finds to date are a set of pastel blue Wedgewood candle stick holders and a set of six cut glass wine tumblers I picked up at a second-hand store in the Lake District. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your next home project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just moved into my first unfurnished rental flat so we&#039;re busy kitting it out. We&#039;re mostly trying to stick to using second-hand items we&#039;re bought cheaply or picked up for free. We inherited some wooden farmhouse chairs from a family friend that need a little upcycling love so they&#039;re my next big project. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Eclectic, care-free and full of character, it's no wonder that boho-inspired rooms will always be on trend.
