The Essential Autumn Guide To Buying The Perfect Sofa

The sofa is the centrepiece of a living room and no home’s living space is complete without one. Whether they’re providing seating for hordes of friends, family and loved ones, or simply a place to curl up alone with a book or a good TV show, the sofa will always need to be multipurpose and fulfil many briefs. It will undoubtedly be one of the most important purchases when furnishing a living room; this importance and reliance on a sofa means that a number of things will need to be considered before buying. This guide details the most important aspects of a sofa to take in to account before committing to one, and examines the most popular and enduring sofa design features of the past century.

Size

One of the primary considerations to be made when buying a new leather sofa is its size. Prospective sofa buyers should assess how much space they will need on their sofa before starting their search; a home with two adults could quite easily opt for a two-seater sofa, a family with children might require the space facilitated by a three-seater, and a household which entertains on a regular basis might need to purchase a three-piece suite to ensure everyone has somewhere to sit. The size of the room should also be carefully considered; sofas with low backs can give the illusion of more space and counteract a low ceiling, while corner sofas with footrests are great for breaking up a large space. Even the doors of a property should be carefully measured beforehand; it would be no good ordering a luxurious, spacious sofa if it couldn’t fit through the front door.

Material – Fabric or Leather?

Vinyl sofas and fabric sofas have all been en vogue at some point in the past century, but the enduring material has always been leather. The surfeit of advantages that leather offers is not just limited to the aesthetic quality; the durability of leather sofas is second to none where materials are concerned and where fabric sofas might become threadbare over time, a leather sofa becomes softer and more supple as it ages. Leather is a natural material which means it offers a breathable surface, and along with being non-allergenic, responsive to the environment, long-lasting and attractive, it is the ideal choice for any new sofa. A design such as the Montreux genuine leather sofa or the St Sulpice two seat leather sofa look wonderful and are eminently affordable but are also durable and hard wearing. All LeatherSofasOnline sofas are covered with a special finish which protects the leather and helps to extend its longevity.

Filling

The filling of a sofa is integral to the comfort and support levels it offers. Feather-filled upholstery needs to be adjusted and plumped up on a regular basis, but offers sturdy support for those who like to curl up on their sofa for long periods of time. Sofas which are filled with foam are ideal for those with limited mobility as they offer firmness and don’t need much maintenance to keep them perfectly comfortable. Fibre upholstery is the middle ground between the two; it offers support but has a more relaxed finish. It doesn’t need constant maintenance and plumping, but has an all-around softer sit than the foam filling.

Decorate An Extension With LeatherSofasOnline

In the current uneasy property market, many homeowners have given up trying to sell their property and are instead searching for ways in which they can upgrade and renovate their current home. In the current financial downturn, many who managed to get onto the property ladder have found themselves stranded on a rung because of the stagnant market, and building an extension to a home is a great way to disperse the air of gloom that can surround a home when its owners are no longer satisfied with its make-up. 

Building an extension also means furnishing a whole new room. Whether it’s a conservatory, a study or an open-plan living room extension, any annexe added to a house, a comfortable and stylish seating area must be installed. LeatherSofasOnline has a varied collection of real leather sofas in a range of designs and finishes which are sure to be the pièce de résistance in any home extension.

Specially treated with a unique finish, the real leather used to upholster these sofas is guaranteed to last for many years. The finish not only ensures that the leather is durable and hardwearing, but that it looks wonderful as it ages and retains its soft texture. If the extension has been installed to allow extra room for lots of family members, the St Sulpice three-seat genuine leather sofa is large enough to be a family sofa and the specially treated leather will ensure it is a family favourite with everyone for years to come.

When furnishing an extension there must also be some consideration about how the furniture is going to fit through the rest of the house. The innovative sofa shape found in the form of the Montreux three-seater real leather sofa means that it can be manoeuvred through small spaces and doorways with ease, and will be easy to transport from delivery van through to the extension. Combining style with functionality, this sofa is a sublime addition to any home.

If the extension is simply expanding an existing room, such as a living room, it can be important to ensure that the new furniture is complementary to the existing décor. Choosing a sofa such as the Sussex real leather sofa combines all of the modern advantages of construction with a vintage exterior that will never go out of style and blends seamlessly with other furniture and decor. The timeless, yet bold style of this piece ensures that it will be a focal point, without clashing or looking at odds with the rest of the room.

Three Piece Suites from LeatherSofasOnline

When furnishing a living room, the most important pieces of furniture will always be the seating. Larger families, people who wish to entertain regularly, or simply people who enjoy having options may choose to buy a three piece suite, which tends to consist of a large three-seater sofa, and a mixture of armchairs and smaller two-seater sofas. There are a great number of advantages to choosing furniture this way, the first of these being that all of the seating options will match one another, and if they are chosen well, they will all match the décor too. A three piece suite can really pull the room together, décor-wise, and as the focal point of the room, they have to be given the utmost consideration.

The first item which many people furnishing their home choose tends to be the largest sofa; the three-seater. Then if there are matching items available, they can be bought in accordance with the space available. LeatherSofasOnline specialises in providing real leather sofas for such purposes, and many of their large three-seater sofas come with two-seater and armchair versions to complete the set and make a room feel ‘finished’. Praised by The Guardian, The Observer, The Independent and many other influential style pull-outs, the sofas available combine substance and style to create stunning furniture sets which will last for many years.

The Paris three-seat leather sofa fuses functionality with opulence and ensures that the modern developments in the construction of the sofa don’t overshadow the vintage style and authentic design harking back to the 1930s. The fibre back cushions and non-tropical hardwood which are used to create the framework of this sofa are combined with an incredibly soft real leather exterior which ages beautifully. These winning features are carried across the Paris furniture set, which includes a matching two-seater sofa and an armchair, all with the same stunning finish.

The St Sulpice two-seat genuine leather sofa was chosen by renowned English home expert Alison Cork, and its companion pieces, the three-seater sofa and the armchair, are equally as celebrated. The specially treated leather is easy to maintain, and the timeless design means that even in twenty or thirty years’ time, the full three piece suite will look as chic and en vogue as ever. But the elegance and style of this set does not meant that high quality is compromised; the craftsmanship of the St Sulpice set make it a robust family sofa, with hardwood legs, pocket sprung seats and fibre-back cushions for optimum support and comfort across the board.

Beautifully finished and made to be the centrepiece of the home for many years to come, this charming, roomy sofa is timeless in its design and is a favourite of design experts across the country. A three-seater sofa and an armchair are also available to complete this striking set.

Sitting Comfortably With Leather Sofas Perfect for the Buy To Let Boom

The property market may recently have become a byword for ‘doom and gloom’ but new figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders suggest there are reasons to be cheery in this Jubilee year. The CML data confirms a huge 32% rise in the number of buy to let mortgage approvals in the first quarter of the year, meaning those looking for ways to supplement their income would do well to consider property investment as a viable long term prospect. For any new landlord, choosing hardwearing, great value furniture is a must – and a real leather sofa is the perfect place to start.

Buy to let mortgage approvals in January-March 2012 totalled an estimated £3.7 billion, with the majority of finance based on a 75% loan to value ratio. The willingness of banks to lend to investors is predicted to spark a rush to buy property for rental purposes. But, with so much competition, winning over potential tenants demands an eye for detail and a commitment to great quality. Along with the essentials such as a clean, modern kitchen and bathroom, real leather sofas and armchairs can go a long way towards creating an inviting, homely space. What’s more, because leather wears much better than fabric sofas which quickly become threadbare and tired looking with use, a leather sofa is also an investment piece and will stand the test of time even as tenants come and go.

For smaller spaces such as new build flats and apartments, LeatherSofasOnline’s Montreaux two seater brown leather sofa features a design created specifically for manoeuvring through tight spaces. With a lift off back, it can be carried up stairs and down narrow hall ways with the minimum of fuss, leaving no danger of damage to walls or the sofa itself.

In larger spaces, the chic St Sulpice three seat leather sofa is generously proportioned with a robust frame made from sustainable hardwood and comfortable pocket sprung seats. A two seat version of the sofa and matching armchair are also available.

All leather sofas from LeatherSofasOnline are treated with a protective finish which prolongs the life and lustre of the leather even as the sofa is subjected to daily use, eliminating the need to regularly source replacement furniture.

A New Generation of Offices Using Leather Sofas To Create Fun Work Environments

The Chief Executive of the British Council for Offices (BCO), Richard Kauntze has observed that a notable change is underfoot in the world of office design. He told The Guardian newspaper in a report published this weekend that the lines between the way we live and work in the 21^st century are becoming ever more blurred, leading to offices that are furnished with leather sofas, oversized lamps, games rooms and even astro turf in some cases. The result is a space that is less conventional, more fun and much more closely related to a leisure environment than what many would envisage as a traditional 9 to 5 office space.

An investigation by The Guardian found that more and more offices are following in the lead of new office design trailblazers like Google, who famously create wonderful, colorful offices full of pool tables, games consoles, comfy seating, free cafeterias and even barber shops. Led by a generation of young workers that grew up with new technologies such as social media and the Internet and more ‘fun’ brands like Apple or Google, offices as a playground are back in vogue.

One business owner interviewed by The Guardian suggested that the money he has spent on transforming a floor of his building into a fun work environment is worth its actual weight in gold by making it easier to retain staff. This in turn reduces the need to recruit, train up and wait for new employees to get up to speed, making for a much more productive and efficient workplace. The example of Google also shows that investing in a rewarding office environment that workers actually want to spend time in makes it much easier to attract the stronger candidates when positions are created.

While the BCO chief executive estimates that around 15% of business costs relate to property (with the remainder taken up by employees), transforming a sterile work environment into a more fun, upbeat and leisurely office doesn’t need to cost the earth. Borrowing from Google’s practice of using slides instead of stairs or Innocent Drinks turf-themed flooring rather than traditional carpet may be out of the question, but the good news for those with an eye on the purse strings is that you can start to recreate this more casual workplace environment with the addition of a few carefully chosen real leather sofas.

Many of the sofas available from Leather Sofas Online are equally suited to a relaxed office environment as they are to the home. And with discounts of up to 50% on the most popular models, creating a welcoming office doesn’t need to cost a huge amount. Robust and built to last, the St Sulpice two seat brown leather sofa would make a stylish addition to any office space. Chosen by interior designers for its classic good looks and contemporary appeal, the real leather upholstery is well suited to a busy space as it’s treated with a hardwearing finish to make the hides even more durable and ensure they age with grace. There is currently 44% off the model, making it just £499.

For an even more informal mood, the St Sulpice real leather armchair lends itself to curling up with a book during a busy work day. Comfortable and long lasting, it is currently on offer at £399.

Perfect for shared office spaces or for companies occupying the higher floors of larger office buildings, the Montreux two seat leather sofa is designed with a lift off back to make it easy to manoeuvre through stairwells and narrow hallways. With a 44% discount, it is now priced at £499.

Few things invite relaxation like a comfy beanbag. Capable of injecting a much more laid back feel to even the smallest of spaces, all Leather Sofas Online beanbags are made to order by artisans in the West Country. They make particularly useful additions to break out areas or, could even be placed in informal meeting rooms for more productive brainstorming sessions.
