We owe a lot to the humble sofa, don’t we? The chosen one is the ultimate home investment, the room-transformer, the setting of many a weeknight evening and lazy weekend morning. And as it’s probably one of the biggest buys for your home, you want to get it exactly right.
Enter the clever folks at sofa.com. Their award-winning designs are made to order in a choice of sizes, with colour and fabric options like no other – over 160, the last time we counted. Graphic prints, burnt orange velvet, buttery soft leather in enticing colourways like latte and espresso? Count us in. We've picked out some of our favourite designs here, but there's plenty more where that come from. Sofa seeker - prepare to be knocked off your feet.

One of the originals, the Bluebell has been a firm favourite for over ten years – and we can see why. The secret to its enduring appeal? It’s all in the detail. That distinctive sweet heart frame, soft round pleated arms and seriously swanky turned oak legs capture a real feel of classic country style made modern. So yes, it’s a looker, but it’s also a sofa to really sit on, with supportive feather and fibre back cushions. And it's available in a wide range of sizes and the full 160 fabrics, so you can tailor it to your heart's content. Now to work on the country mansion....

Sometimes, less is more - enter the Izzy. Style-wise, it’s all about that straight-edged, structured frame and sleek armrests, which keeps it feeling contemporary while maximising all-important bottom space. The slender oak legs are a little taller, raising the height of the sofa and providing the perfect antidote to heavy furniture which can suck space out of a room. This one really caught our eye as a modern classic that won't date any time soon - and after all, who wants to buy another sofa in two years?

The Isla is the ultimate twist on the traditional - refined and elegant, but ready for lounging (just like us). One of the top contenders for the most comfortable range, this is a sofa to sink into; the cushions are made from fibre wrapped foam, so they’re soft and springy and don’t need much plumping – our kind of sofa. It comes 'breakdownable' as standard, so we promise those awkward stairs to your top floor flat are conquerable. We’ve got our eye on the perfectly personal small armchair (reading nook, anyone?) but there’s a range of options maxing out at a generous corner sofa.
