Thinking about a new sofa? Here are our favourites to suit every space

The sofas of the nation have collectively seen a lot of action over the last year. When every night is a night in, it’s the place to be, whether it’s for another Netflix session, getting into a good book, or relocating your laptop from your kitchen table to signal the end of the working day (it’s called work/life balance, look it up). 

I know that mine hasn’t taken the extra use well, sagging in the middle slightly, and its seat cushions can no longer be persuaded back into their full volume.

If yours is showing similar signs, or perhaps all this use has made you realise it’s not actually as comfortable as you’d like, there are plenty of great options out there, whether you’re looking for a corner sofa for maximum relaxation space, or something modular to give you some flexibility.

Small space

If your living space isn’t exactly, well, spacious, then you’ll need a compact design, but this doesn’t have to limit your style choices. It can be fun to go bold with a small sofa, making it the focal point of your space, or you can go for a luxurious fabric to add texture. 

Design with thin legs and a visible gap between the sofa and the floor also work well in a smaller space, giving the feeling of lightness.
