Worn-out seats, torn threads, wine stains, and sagging arm-rests plague many sofas.
Lots of bolsters, cushions and throws can be a last-ditch effort to prettify them, but that won’t stop you from sinking into the frame!
We’ve all been there (I know I was), trying our best to make our home look ‘Grand Designs’ worthy but failing miserably.
Even if we can’t splash out the way we’d like, who says we can’t get a sofa on a frugal budget that makes a statement loud and proud!
Here’s a round-up of 12 awe-inspiring sofas that are super-friendly on the purse!
1. Martha Vintage Velvet 3 Seater Sofa
The soft coral colour is vibrant but not too bright. The retro-inspired is upholstered in a vintage-effect velvet and comes in three other colours: dove grey, warm sand and soft blue.
2. Habitat Andy 3 Seater Velvet Clic Clac Sofa Bed
If you love the Scandinavian aesthetic, oh, and a disguisable extra bed, you’ll love ‘Andy’, a minimalist yet multifunctional sofa that looks luxurious - finished in a rich blue velvet, but also provides a fuss-free option for when your hung-over friend needs to spend the night.
3. Zoe Velvet Sofa
This sofa is still retro in style like the first one, but this one is so bright that you won't fall asleep on this zesty bright yellow sofa with deep tufting. This sofa also boasts piped edge detailing and includes two cylindrical bolster cushions.
4. Eaton Sofa
This classic-shaped sofa is upholstered in rich olive-green velvet. The cushions seats and chair back cushions are filled with fibre-topped ExtraFlex high-density foam. This sofa also features a sturdy hardwood frame. I wouldn’t mind being a ‘couch potato’ on this one!
5. Alfie Sofa
This sofa from Roseland’s Furniture features soft pink chenille fabric which contrasts nicely with the beechwood legs, sumptuous deep-cushioned seating and high-back cushions.
6. Payton Sofa
This stunningly classic English Roll-Arm sofa is gorgeous! It captures that old English charm and elegance. The royal blue fabric is just as fitting!
7. Baltimore Sofa
This modern and refreshing sofa looks supremely comfortable with deep-filled seating and plumped high-back cushions. The neutral grey fabric and shiny chrome feet complement each other, giving the overall design a contemporary vibe.
8. Hampi 4 Seater Lounger Sofa
This sofa by French Connection looks like it would suit most interior design aesthetics from Scandinavian and Japandi to mid-century modern. It is slightly more expensive than others on this list but I couldn’t miss it!
9. Olivia Sofa
This sofa would suit any modern living space, but the tapered oak-effect legs give it that retro allure. The partially exposed wooden frame at the bottom contrasts perfectly with the rich navy blue.
10. Herton Sofa
Even a stylish chaise sofa like this one from MADE can be snagged at an affordable price. This art-deco-inspired sofa features a relaxed barley weave colour, tapered wooden legs and long bolsters. It’s also available in two other colours.
11. Hardy Sofa
Made from real leather, this sofa is bold and modern in a rich red colour, the sloping armrests offer more comfort than straight ones, and the top stitch detail accentuates the design of the sofa. If you’re not keen on the colour but love the style - this sofa is available in a whopping 52 colours!
12. Wes Sofa
This black beauty is Scandi-inspired and looks stunning in velvet upholstery but it is also available in teal. The thick piping around the cushions is a unique touch, and the high cushioned backrests and angled armrests look perfect for an afternoon snooze.
