Corner sofa shopping for Living room help
Discussion
Hello All,
We're looking at sofa shopping for our living room, current setup pictured. We're moving next month so have got just over 4 weeks.
We've checked out a few things and i'm pretty keen on a corner sofa, an L ideally a 2/3C1 with the corner 1 being at the window side and another single sofa at the other end of the room which has french doors to the dining room/kitchen.
We seen a nice sofa in Sterling home (blue arona) currently £2300 discounted from £3300, we're pretty keen on the cross stitching and fixed sofa cushions that don't need flipped every week or sink after you lie on the sofa for a while.
Below are the contenders, we'd like the blue one probably in grey or cream however we don't want to wait 16 weeks, does anyone know of any alternatives similar in design that are quicker?
We can get the bigger corner sofas that are common in DFS and SCS but because the room width isn't great I feel they'd take up to much space and the cross stitching sofa would look better.
The other contenders are the thicker cream sofa in DFS which I feel may be too wide/overpowering or the slimmer Sofology corner which is available in clearance for £1200!

OP, Why not get a load of old wooden pallets, some foam, some faux leather/ crushed velour and a staple gun and knock up your own SCS/DFS/Sofology corner suite?
The quality is easy to replicate with a bit of practice.
You'd have the satisfaction of crafting your own vision of bespoke luxury, and you wouldn't have to wait four months to enjoy it.
Or have a trawl round your local charity shops such as the Heart Foundation.
You never know what you might find.
Charity shop branches in places such as Wilmslow or Alderley Edge often stock stuff that some footballer's WAG has become tired of and changed on a whim after a couple of months because it clashes with their new nail varnish.
You're welcome.

Weve had our last 2 sofas from DFS and been happy with them, no issues, the one near us has a room at the back with ex stock and ones that have been delivered but wont fit in peoples houses that you can collect the same day, and are significantly cheaper.
Yeah, sofology and Sterling home were the only shops we really liked the designs of, I did check the online clearances and there's one OK one but there's always a compromise, usually on colour of the fabric.alorotom said:
Have you tried the lounge company?
Checking them out, thanks! I do find it hard though, would need to sit and test before buying.glenrobbo said:

That sounds like a good DIY and albeit rewarding, probably too much effort! I'm in Scotland so there's not much round here, there used to be Harveys outlets that had good stock and instant delivery but there all gone now too with them going under.The quality is easy to replicate with a bit of practice.

I'll check Next and John Lewis too thanks for the suggestions.
we bought our sofa from ‘martin & frost’ in edinburgh (fort retail park) but they are also the same company as ‘sterling’ out in stirling/ clackmannan way.
not the cheapest place, but been very happy with quality of the sofa we ordered. very sturdy/ good quality cushion and hard wearing material. well worth a look round

We bought our sofa from AHF.
Worth finding your local store to check them out. Very good discounts going on including a key worker discount of 20% on top of sale prices if that applies to you, which it did us.
Definitely don't buy online.
A sofa is something that gets thousands of hours of use, you need to know that what you are buying is comfortable and quality.

My family and I went looking for a new sofa at The Furniture Village and found AHF next-door at Thurrock. No pushy sales from the lady that came to see us and we really liked the corner group sofa that we looked at. The problems begin when you look past Trust pilot reviews, wow there's some awfully bad reviews about this company, a very similar situation with Sofology, excellent Trustpilot but s
t elsewhere. Would you trust Trustpilot?????
