The Ultimate UK & EU Sofa Buying & Measuring Guide

Buying a sofa is one of the most important interior decisions you will make for your home. Follow our expert measuring, fabric selection, and spatial planning guide.

1. Measuring Your Space & Entryways

Before selecting your sofa, ensure smooth passage from delivery truck to living room:

    Doorway Clearance: Standard UK internal doors measure 76cm. Ensure your chosen sofa depth or height (with feet removed) is less than your doorway width. Hallway Turning Circles: Measure tight 90-degree corners in hallways or stairwell landings. Living Room Footprint: Leave at least 45cm between your sofa and coffee table for comfortable legroom.

2. Fabric Selection: Velvet vs. Textured Weave

Plush Velvet

Ideal for luxurious, tactile living spaces. Reflects light beautifully, creating rich tonal depth across diamond quilting.

Textured Weave

High-durability woven upholstery designed for busy family homes, pet owners, and high-traffic seating areas.
