Curated Finds for Gavin : Creating a Cosy Corner
Hi Gavin,
Thank you so much for getting in touch!
Based on your brief, I completely agree with your thinking. A corner or L-shaped sofa would work beautifully here, extending toward the window to create a cosy, lounge-like nook while still preserving that lovely open view. Depending on the final measurements, a three-seater paired with an ottoman could also be a great alternative, offering flexibility without visually crowding the space.
Your budget is workable for well-designed, good-quality sofas when prioritising strong frames, supportive cushions, and timeless silhouettes. I’ve curated a selection of options below, including models with strong customer feedback for build and comfort. I’m very happy to refine further once we confirm exact dimensions or fabric preferences.
As a note, I’d recommend reviewing the fabric details and product specifications closely, as comfort, firmness, and seating depth can vary and are best understood through descriptions and customer reviews.
This contemporary piece introduces a gentle sense of curvature into the room, softening the architecture while working harmoniously with your existing rug and colour palette. The fixed foam cushions offer a clean, tailored appearance with minimal maintenance, ensuring the sofa keeps its shape without constant upkeep. Upholstered in a 100% polyester velvet, it delivers a refined, tactile finish that still feels practical and durable for everyday living.
This upholstered design combines comfort with an elevated simplicity. Crafted on a solid wood frame and available in tones like oatmeal and fern green, it sits beautifully within your space while enhancing warmth and visual softness. The additional headrest supports a relaxed, lounge-led environment, perfect for unwinding. With a generous width of 236.5cm, durable 100% polyester upholstery, and a 40,000 rub count for longevity, it’s designed for comfort with low maintenance. The wooden legs echo the warmth of your flooring, helping the space feel cohesive and grounded.
A more contemporary expression, this sofa introduces slender metal legs that subtly reference your existing TV console and side cabinet, creating a cohesive visual dialogue across the room. At 197cm wide, it offers comfortable seating without overwhelming the space, the accompanying ottoman adds true flexibility — creating a chaise-like feel when needed, additional seating for hosting, or simply a more fluid way to move and adapt the room layout as life happens.
The Julien three-seater (W220) brings depth and intention to the room. The dark olive upholstery anchors the space with a rich, grounding tone, complementing your existing scheme while adding warmth and character. Its proportions feel generous yet balanced, offering a comfortable, relaxed seating profile without visually crowding the room—an inviting piece that enhances both atmosphere and function.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts, and in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out with any further questions or requests.
Warm regards,
