White Luxury Fabric Sofas In The Living Room

What quality sofas bring to your home

From the sinuous lines of the English Rococo period to the birth of the iconic Chesterfield in the 18th century to modern-day designs, the history of luxury sofas has been illustrious. Defined by their exceptional craftsmanship, fine upholstery materials and unquestionable style, they are the ultimate choice for any discerning living space.

With a list of benefits that separates them from their mass-produced counterparts, this is why they're worth the investment:

Comfort

Made with ergonomics in mind, every piece provides exceptional support, giving you the space to unwind and relax for hours at a time. Good upholstery materials like full-grain leather also contribute to this factor, adding a tactile element to your overall experience.

Aesthetics

With unique profiles created by the world's top designers, your living room will always look timeless and sophisticated. Whether you're after a gorgeous velvet corner sofa or need a full lounge furniture set, they will undoubtedly define the style and functionality of your room.

Durability

From the framework to the very last stitch, each step of the sofa's manufacturing process is meticulously executed using premium materials, guaranteeing a longer lifespan.

Functionality

Added features, such as storage, reclining mechanisms and side tables are often included, boosting their usefulness and purpose.

Flexibility

Many modern sofas can be arranged and rearranged to suit your specific space, which allows you to find components that perfectly match different room sizes and layouts.

Health

Aside from exceptional lumbar support, most luxury sofas and sectionals are upholstered in prime materials, which makes them hypoallergenic.

Finding a luxury sofa to suit your environment

With thousands of options available, finding the right upholstery and framework for your sofa can often be a challenge. Affecting everything from its durability and comfort levels to how it visually impacts your living room, it's important to understand your choices before finalising your decision.

Before you start, consider the following:

Purpose

Tailoring your sofa to suit your lifestyle is the key to creating comfort and functionality, helping you to enhance your space optimally. If you have children or pets and intend to use it every day, you will need something robust. However, if you want a formal setting reserved for adults and guests, then find profiles that exude refinement.

Genre

Whatever you pick should blend seamlessly into your aesthetics, so use a room planner or mood board to help you visualise your final result. This should include your choice of colours, patterns and styles.

From traditional styles that bring timeless elegance to modern versions that are minimalistic and functional, make sure you select something that resonates with your taste. And, although the latest trends are always a fun option, remember that whatever you pick needs to bring you joy for years to come. So opt for a classy Italian sofa over something ostentatious and over-the-top.

Upholstery

There are two main categories of upholstery available.

Known for its exceptional durability, quality leather sofas can last for over 50 years, age well over time and provide a timeless aesthetic. And, while a well-considered black leather sofa has become iconic in modern times, there are an array of sophisticated colours to choose from.

Fabric sofas often include removable covers which are effectively treated to repel spills and stains, making them a great choice for busy households. They also come in different types of material, allowing you to choose something that offers comfort and appeal. And, with an almost limitless offering of colours and patterns, customisation options are extensive.

Whichever you select should enhance both your living room and your lifestyle.

Frame

If you're after a luxury sofa, make sure that the frame is made from a good hardwood like oak, ash, walnut or beech. You should also check that the joinery is professionally done using screws or dowels rather than adhesives and staples. Test it out for stability while you're in-store.

Springs

With many modern sofas being mass-produced, it's common to find suspensions made from webbing or mesh. But if you're after a high-end product, a spring base is the ultimate choice. There are many different types available so whatever you decide on, take a look to see that they're close together and firm - and that they don't creak when you sit on them.

Padding

From high-resilient (HR) foam to down and polyurethane, many different cushion fillings make the grade. However, the FCI London design experts will tell you that two sofa choices stand out from the crowd. These comprise HR foam layered with duck down or conventional foam wrapped in polyester batting. But as everyone has their preferences when it comes to firmness, we suggest you explore them for yourself in our award-winning showroom.

Maintenance

Caring for your sofa will increase its shelf life, so it's important to find an upholstery that is simple to clean.

Choosing a sofa to suit your lifestyle

Grey ex-display fixed seat sofas set
Fixed-seat Sofas

Traditional and elegant, these commonly come in anything from two-, three- or four-seaters (often referred to as a “couch”) and cannot be deconstructed into smaller units. Ideal for formal sitting rooms, they provide a comfortable perch for distinguished guests while maintaining an air of refinement. They're also available in many different styles from Chesterfields to camel backs, making it easy to find a profile that suits your ensemble.

Comfortable luxury reclining sofas set
Reclining Sofas

This is defined by a mechanical inclusion that allows its backrests to repose. Usually accompanied by a footrest, users are encouraged to relax and unwind while enjoying the benefits of optimal lumbar support. They are often incorporated into modular sofa designs and are a popular choice for those looking for all the bells and whistles. They also have excellent health benefits, aligning your joints and relieving stress.

Curved Modular Sofas in Modern Set
Modular Sofas

Ideal for changing landscapes and large families, sectionals are made up of individual components ranging from one to three-seater sofa pieces, corner units, chaise longues, built-in side tables and ottomans. These can be added to and configured according to your needs, making them a flexible option for living rooms and entertainment areas. From innovative shapes to an array of upholstery choices, there are options a plenty.

Luxury Chaise Longues Sofas
Chaise Longues

Chic and luxurious, this design has been around for centuries and is easily distinguished by its iconic shape. With a fixed back and enough length to fully accommodate your legs, they are perfect options if you love lounging in style. Now available in contemporary styles, they're still as popular as they were in the 16th century.

Luxury furniture in Boho style
Loveseats

These are more compact than a regular sofa and make an ideal seat for two people to share. Snug and comfy, their differentiating factor is in their length rather than their depth or height. Often used in smaller spaces or as an addition to other living room furniture, they're a great addition to your home decor.

Luxury furniture in contemporary style
Sofa beds

Also known as sleeper sofas, these have come a long way in modern living room furniture design and are no longer the poorly constructed furnishings of old.

FAQs

How do you remove stains from a sofa?

To keep your couch looking fresh and new, it's important to clean up spills immediately. First, blot the area dry with a clean dry cloth and then wipe it gently with soapy water. Note that rubbing will make the stain worse and commercial detergents may damage the fabric. If this doesn't work, call a professional cleaner right away.

How many cushions should you use on a sofa?

When styling luxury sofas, we suggest that you use between four and six cushions on each. Four placed evenly at each end will create a more formal aesthetic, while a higher number scattered disproportionately will result in a relaxed, bohemian look.

How much space should you leave between a sofa and a coffee table?

You should leave at least 45 cm between your sofa and coffee table. This will ensure that you can place things on the table while seated and give you enough leg room to relax without bashing your shins. Creating the right amount of space will also encourage easy foot traffic and a sense of flow.

How many types of sofas are there?

When choosing a seating solution for your living room, we recommend that you explore all of your options and find something that perfectly fits your space. Some of the most popular profiles include modular or sectional sofas, fixed-seat sofas, loveseats, chaise longues and sofa beds.

How many sofas do I need?

Finding the right number of sofas for your home depends on many factors including the dimensions of your room, the style you're creating and the number of people you expect to use them regularly.

At the end of the day, it's a personal choice. While some opt for flexible, modular units, others prefer to pair a fixed-length sofa with armchairs, benches or ottomans. Our top designers advise that you measure up your space and then take advantage of a free consultation at FCI London so we can help you plan the living room of your dreams.

Can you customise a luxury sofa?

Yes! With over 700 world-renowned brands to choose from, many of our sofas are fully customisable, allowing you to select the size, upholstery material, colour and style that best suits your needs.

Are leather sofas more durable than fabric ones?

High-quality leather is the ultimate upholstery material for sofas and can last upwards of 50 years. It is also hypoallergenic, stain-resistant, comfortable and timeless, so it won't ever go out of style.

Are there any good luxury sofa shops near me?

You'll find an excellent range of quality sofas at FCI London. From traditional profiles to modern styles, their 30,000 sq. ft showroom is home to over 700 world-renowned brands.

Are recliner sofas available in modular units?

Yes. Many sectional sofas offer units that have built-in recliner mechanisms, allowing you and your family to lean back and relax after a busy day.
