8. Green sofas
Inspired by nature, a green sofa evokes a sense of serenity found in the great outdoors.
In our attempts to create a peaceful and grounding atmosphere, green has sprouted up in our homes through the use of furnishings, wall décor and indeed, sofas.
An earthy colour, green is highly versatile, with a myriad of shades, and has the ability to blend in just about anywhere.

With homeowners contending with smaller spaces to fill, or simply craving a cosy reading corner from the rest of the household, 2023 has seen a big increase in the search for smaller sofas, from compact 2 seaters to love and snuggle chairs big enough for two!
