Living room sofa sets for rooms of all sizes

What is a sofa set?

A sofa set is typically two or more pieces of furniture from the same sofa range. 

Extremely versatile, sofa sets can come in a variety of sizes, which can be used in many combinations, such as a 2-seater and a 3-seater, or a corner sofa and an armchair, for example.

Some of our ranges also have matching footstools – a stylish and practical way to complete a living room set.

Generally speaking, a sofa set is all made from the same upholstery, in the same or a similar colourway, though some pieces, such as an accent chair, may differ slightly with a different but complementary colour or pattern than the rest of the range.

Why choose a sofa set?

Choosing a matching sofa set can give a living room a streamlined look, creating a clean and seamless setting in which it sit and relax. 

Benefits of a sofa set

There are many benefits of buying a living room sofa set: 

● A sofa suite can add a cohesive design to your living room and create visual balance

● By choosing a matching set, this saves you the time and hassle of trying to find pieces that match 

It can often be more cost-effective to buy furniture together

Things to consider with a sofa set

Whilst there are plenty of advantages to buying a sofa set, there are also things to consider:

● Ensure you measure up correctly so you can maximise your space, especially in small living rooms

● Sofa sets are investments, so consider your design and colourway carefully

● Your choice of upholstery will depend on your lifestyle (i.e. if you have children or pets) 

● Consider how often you plan to use your sofa and what you will use it for. For example, if you plan to use your suite for everyday use, you may want to opt for a durable fabric, whereas if it’s for occasional use in an entertaining space, you could go for something a little more glamorous

Think about how your suite will blend in with your existing décor 

Sofa sets for small rooms

For small living rooms, a compact sofa set is the way to go to maximise your space.

You can make the best use of your space with some clever seating arrangements.

A 2-seater sofa and a chair or 2 should allow you to comfortably seat around 4 people.

Small corner sofas or chaises are also great options for making the most of your space.

Sit a corner sofa plush against a corner wall so it’s not floating in the middle or the room, giving you more space in front of it. 

Sofa sets for medium rooms

A room that doesn’t necessarily have bags of space to play with, a medium sized living room, offers the luxury of a little more space but will still require some careful curation.

Typically a medium sized living room can seat around 6-10 people, so it’s the perfect area for entertaining. 

If you’re in the market for a classic leather sofa set, the Brodie range is a fantastic option.

Superbly upholstered with 100% genuine leather, Brodie features generously sized foam filled seats, saddle arms and supportive stitching for a most comfortable seat.

Available in the collection are 2 sizes of sofa, including recliner options, a standard chair, a lift and rise chair (available with or without a heated seat) and a choice of footstools.

Sofa sets for large rooms

If you’re blessed with a large living room or open plan living area, there are plenty of sofa sets to suit spacious spaces.

The beauty of larger living spaces is that you can cherry-pick pieces that work for you, and play around with the room layout too. 

If you’re on the hunt for something with a little character, our County sofa range is the one for you.

With all the classic details of a timeless Chesterfield sofa with added country charm, the County offers stud button detailing, grand scroll arms, and distinguished button features for a distinctive style.

For something that you can truly stretch out on and enjoy, a large corner sofa offers ultimate indulgence and is a real treat if you have the space. 

In large areas, corner sofas can also act as a room divider, creating separation within the space and defining each area of the living space. 

Power recliner options are also available if you have space in front of the sofa to stretch out.

For a traditional sofa, it doesn’t get much more cosier than the soft features of our Aurora range.

Boasting ultra indulgent oversized arms and super soft fabric you can sink in to, the Whisper is your classic sofa that you won’t want to leave.

Available in the collection are a choice of 2 and 3 seater sofas, corner sofas, a selection of chairs and coordinating footstool.

The corner sofas are available as standard or scatter back for added character. Each sofa is completed with complimentary accent scatter cushions. 

Another recommendation for larger living spaces is the Corneto sofa collection. 

The luxuriously soft and scatter-backed Corneto range offers generously sized foam filled seats and comes expertly upholstered in a huge range of upholstery options and colours.

Included in the range are a choice of corner sofa orientations, a cosy 2 seater, an armchair with sliding sofa bed and a storage ottoman.
