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
The Heal’s Balmoral is a sleek, statement piece that works beautifully in both classic and modern interiors. The velvet in petrol adds a rich pop of colour, making it ideal for schemes that mix bold hues with neutral backgrounds. Its natural oak feet bring warmth and a touch of mid-century charm, which pairs well with Scandinavian or contemporary styles. Practical styling tips include layering with textured cushions to soften the look or adding patterned throws for a cosy feel. It’s versatile enough to sit comfortably in a lounge with minimalist décor or layered within a more eclectic space, making it a great choice for those who want a combination of comfort and visual impact.

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.
