Our Stylist Says
The Heal’s Tailor Medium Unit offers a sleek and modern take on corner sofas, making it a versatile choice for both contemporary and transitional interiors. I love its boucle velvet fabric, which adds texture without feeling overly formal, perfect for cosy living rooms. Its neutral space natural beech feet help ground the piece, allowing it to work well with a variety of colour schemes. Practical styling tips include pairing it with plush cushions in contrasting fabrics or patterns to break up the texture, and surrounding it with minimalist coffee tables or lighting to keep the overall look fresh and uncluttered. Its L-shape configuration is ideal for creating a comfortable social space, whether in open-plan room arrangements or more compact settings.

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.
