Curated Finds for Kristie — Sofas
Dear Kim,
Inspired by your brief, I’ve curated a personalised edit of L-shaped sofas that bring together Scandinavian simplicity, mid-century character and modern design. With family life in mind, I’ve focused on spacious, comfortable options that give all four of you room to relax, while prioritising durable fabrics and practical finishes that can stand up to everyday use. All the selections are within your £1,000 to £2,000 budget.
If you'd like a little more support pulling everything together, take a look at Style, our room design service at Design Lab By Livingetc. We'd have a 45-minute one-to-one call to discuss your space, and afterwards I'd put together a full moodboard for your space, along with tailored product recommendations and a clear design direction.
I hope you find the selection useful and, most importantly, that you discover a piece that feels like the right fit for your home. I’d love to know which ones stand out to you.
Best wishes,
Iokasti
I love the relaxed, oversized look of this sofa. The generous chaise and feather-filled cushions make it feel like the perfect spot for the whole family to stretch out together. The removable, machine-washable covers are also a real plus when you have children.
This would be one of my practical picks for family life. I love the clean, contemporary shape, and the greige performance fabric feels versatile enough to work with different colours and textures. It’s designed to resist spills, which makes it a great option for a busy living room, while the brass legs add a subtle mid-century touch. At £1,948, it also sits within your budget.
I love the soft, rounded feel of this design. The pale linen shade keeps it looking light, while the chenille upholstery and supportive high-back cushions make it feel cosy and inviting. The moveable footstool end is a lovely bonus, as it gives you flexibility when lounging or changing the layout. It’s £1,499, although I’d check the care instructions and consider a fabric swatch before choosing a light colour for a family home. The £129 delivery charge also keeps the total within budget.
This one is great if you like a more timeless, mid-century-inspired look. The low profile and gentle curves give it a relaxed feel, and I really like that the modular design can be rearranged as your needs change. The removable, machine-washable covers are another practical feature for family life.
I love the olive-green upholstery on this one. It brings colour and character into the room without feeling too bold, while the simple shape keeps it looking modern and understated. Its compact corner layout makes good use of the available space, and the woven fabric gives it a lovely textured finish. At £1,899, it fits your budget before delivery, but I’d check the fabric care details to make sure it’s suitable for everyday family use.
