Description
A contemporary take on traditional Chesterfield design, the Balmoral Sofa blends neat proportions with decorative upholstery to create the ideal piece for sophisticated living spaces. Featuring generous deep button detail, sleek arms and solid beech feet, this comfortably appointed sofa comes complete with a wide lumbar cushion for added support.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its timeless elegance and versatile presence. The velvet upholstery adds a touch of softness and sophistication, making it suitable for both classic and contemporary interiors. The platinum shade is neutral enough to anchor a colour scheme yet adds a subtle luxe appeal. It works particularly well in mid-century, modern, or transitional spaces, where its sleek lines and walnut feet can be highlighted with complementary wood or brass accents. Practical styling tips include pairing it with bold or patterned cushions to introduce texture, and keeping surrounding decor minimal for a chic, uncluttered look. Its size means it’s perfect for a cosy living room or a more open-plan setting where it can be a statement piece.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
