Our Stylist Says
I love this green velvet sofa’s versatility-it works equally well in both modern and vintage-inspired interiors. The rich evergreen hue adds a sophisticated touch without overwhelming a space, making it a great statement piece in a neutral or layered colour scheme. Its cotton velvet finish offers a plush feel that invites relaxation, while the black feet add a subtle contemporary edge. Styling tips include pairing it with textured cushions in complementary tones for added depth or a patterned rug to anchor the seating area. It looks particularly fabulous with brass or matte black accents for a sleek, stylish look. Practical advice: due to the velvet upholstery, consider regular brushing to maintain its lush appearance and ensure it stays looking fresh over time.

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.
