How to Choose a Sofa

Here is how to choose a sofa for your home to help make sure you get the perfect sofa for any and every room where you want it.

With so many styles and shapes available, choosing your perfect sofa can seem like a daunting task. With this in mind, my team and I have made a simple guide to finding your perfect sofa. My range of high quality furniture (sofas, chairs, footstool and headboards) can all be covered in any of my fabrics and I have taken great care in choosing classic designs that will last for years to come. So, put your feet up, grab a cuppa and have a read…

For a Smaller Sofa – the Chedworth

The Chedworth sofa can be ordered with a narrower seat depth (80cm) and has very neat arms meaning it doesn’t take up too much room.

Why buy your sofa from Vanessa Arbuthnott?

I am very proud of my sofa range! Here are a few reasons to buy from us…

Most of my sofa frames are traditionally made here in Gloucestershire using solid beech from managed forests, and jointed with dowels and screws.

All items are expertly upholstered in small workrooms, so each item is quality assured.

They are a good height to make getting in and out of them easy.

All are unique – choose the fabric, leg type, colour and cushion filling of your choice.
