Cosy & Compact
More than ever, we are looking at how we can maximise our living spaces. Creating a coherent, flowing space to entertain, relax, and enjoy time with family is essential for modern homes. Space permitting, partitioning an area for lounging has become an increasingly popular design choice. Traditional sofa configurations have been adapted to the sizing of modern homes, and designs have been altered to feature more compact features, with most manufacturers including cuddlers into almost all of their collections.
Bridging the gap between an armchair and a two-seater sofa, the cuddler is a space-efficient solution for smaller homes. Whether you call it a loveseat, cuddler, or snuggler, our 1.5-seater sofas are great for snuggling with loved ones or for simply enjoying on your own with a hot drink and a good book.
Sustainability
Sustainable furniture can come in a variety of forms. It can refer to the designs that feature reclaimed timber/recyclable materials or a company’s commitment to using more eco-friendly manufacturing methods. In 2025, climate change and environmental conservation are at the forefront of many people’s minds. Efforts such as responsibly sourced wood, carbon neutrality, and recyclable fabrics all make a difference in our fight against climate change.
Examples of our manufacturers commitments to sustainability:
- Two-time winner of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development, Harrison Beds manufacturing commitments include renewable solar energy and wind turbines on their farms, FSC®-certified wood in their headboards and divans, and every mattress is foam-free, glue-free, and FR chemical treatment-free.
- Having been carbon neutral for over a decade, Hypnos Beds is dedicated to tackling their footprint by using renewable natural resources and ethical bed production using low-carbon solutions. All of their products are made from 100% natural and sustainable fibres, so not only are they environmentally friendly but also free from harmful and allergy-related chemicals.
- Pledging to reduce their environmental impact, Stressless furniture is ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management certified. Only using FSC® certified wood and members of the LWG (Leather Working Group), each piece of Stressless furniture is made from quality products with a long lifespan.
Nod to the Past
Vintage-inspired furniture has grown in demand over the past few years. Mid-century style designs with a modern twist are making a comeback, and minimalism is on its way out. Reimagined with contemporary flair, adding a sense of nostalgia to your home can make your home feel welcoming and cosy. Mid-century (1940s-1970s) styling can come in a variety of forms; in upmarket dining and bedroom designs, they will feature smooth lines, curved edges, and straight legs, whilst in upholstery, quintessential characteristics include slimmer silhouettes, angular arms, and geometric fabrics.
