Heal's Mistral Right Hand Facing Corner Sofa Smart Luxe Velvet Mushroom Bitter Chocolate
Our Stylist Says
I really like this corner sofa - the smart luxe velvet in mushroom adds a touch of understated sophistication that works well in both contemporary and more traditional interiors. Its right-hand facing design is perfect for creating cosy, conversational seating arrangements, especially in open-plan living areas. The rich chocolate hue makes it versatile enough to pair with neutral tones or bold accent colours, while the velvet fabric adds a subtle luxury and texture. For styling tips, consider pairing it with layered textiles like throw cushions and throws in warmer shades for added depth, and utilise low-profile coffee tables or side tables to keep the look balanced. This sofa's clean lines and plush feel make it an excellent focal point that combines comfort with timeless style.

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.
