It’s the perfect place to snuggle down and relax at the end of the day. A comfy, cosy sofa with plush cushions and that wonderfully warm embrace that makes you forget about your cares. Sofas are much more than just another piece of living room furniture. They’re an integral part of our homes, often forgotten about but always appreciated when the time comes to kick off your shoes and relax.

At CB2, our collection of premium-quality sofas includes luxurious velvet sofas, on-trend bouclé sofas, and adorable loveseats. Let’s put our feet up and explore the world of sofas at CB2.

2/3/4 Seater sofas

The size of your sofa will depend on a couple of key elements, most importantly, the amount of space you have and the level of usage you put your living room furniture through. If you have a small space, a 2-seater sofa paired with a loveseat is an ideal combination that can be easily rearranged to suit your room's configuration. 3-seater sofas are the right choice for most standard homes, and if you have a little more space, you can add a 2-seater as well to create a cosy L-shaped layout.

For larger spaces and homes that experience high activity, with large family groups or numerous friends dropping by for coffee and conversation, a 4-seater sofa provides ample space, ensuring everyone has a comfortable place to sit.

Loveseats

Loveseats are essentially a smaller version of a two-seater sofa, perfect for two people to cosy up together or for one person to stretch out and relax. They're often positioned under windows as part of your living room furniture, giving you a sunny spot to read a book or drink your morning coffee.

Bouclé and Velvet Sofas

If you want to add a touch of luxury to your interior, a velvet sofa introduces an opulent and indulgent look. Velvet is surprisingly easy to look after – just a quick brush with a nap brush brings the fibres back up and stops them looking too 'crushed'. For the ultimate Scandi look, bouclé sofas, with their plush fabric and subtle, neutral tones, provide the finishing touch to a contemporary interior.

FAQs

How do I decide between a 2-seater, 3-seater, or 4-seater sofa for my space?

Choosing the right sofa size depends on several factors, including your room size, seating needs, and overall layout. A 2-seater sofa is suitable for smaller spaces, such as an apartment, a larger bedroom, or a small living area. A 3-seater sofa is the standard choice for family living rooms, offering plenty of space without taking up too much room. The most common configuration in a regular-sized living room is a combination of two and three-seater sofas. A 4-seater sofa is larger and will require a bigger room to ensure it feels in proportion to the rest of the space. If you have a lot of guests or family members, a bigger sofa means everyone gets a comfy seat!

What’s the real difference between a loveseat and a small sofa?

A loveseat lives up to its name. It's a cosy, intimate two-seater that's between 122 and 182 cm wide at the seat. It's perfect for small corners or as a complementary piece of furniture in a larger living room. A small sofa is larger than a loveseat and measures approximately 214 cm in width, providing more room for stretching out and relaxing. They're still small enough to fit under a window or in a snuggly nook.

Why are bouclé sofas seen so often in modern living room designs?

The wonderfully plush, looped texture of bouclé fabric makes them an ideal addition to sleek, Scandinavian-style living rooms. The neutral colours of bouclé sofas also complement the modern aesthetic, where lighter tones such as taupe, oatmeal, and cream are the dominant colours. Bouclé is that perfect transition between mid-century and modernist chic.

Does velvet upholstery make a sofa harder to maintain or more luxurious?

Don't be intimidated by velvet; it's surprisingly easy to care for! To keep your velvet sofa looking its best, brush the nap gently every so often to restore its texture and prevent it from becoming flattened and worn. Velvet is more resilient than you think, and the air of luxury and sheer opulence it introduces into a room is beyond compare. At CB2, our velvet sofas show just how modern this on-trend fabric really feels.

Can larger sofas still work well in compact apartments or open-plan spaces?

Larger sofas work best in spaces that are proportional to their size, which means in a tight, small living room, they may feel a little overwhelming (as well as challenging to move around). With an open-plan layout, larger sofas are in their element, adding character to the space and breaking up expanses to give a large room a more intimate feel.

Our top tip: choose a sofa that feels in proportion to the space you have. If you don't have room for a single large sofa, consider breaking it up with two smaller ones that can be positioned more easily in a restricted space.
