The Purley Large Sofa is a contemporary sofa which lends itself well to modern retro interiors. Featuring clean cut lines, sleek narrow legs and chunky foam filled arms, the sofa exudes style. The stitch detailing on the back cushions and subtle piping adds a contemporary feel. The sofa is built on a hardwood frame which is pinned, screwed and glued to give durability. The seat suspension is made using traditional sinuous zigzag springs covered with foam ensuring a comfortable sit. The sofa can be upholstered in different colours and fabrics which are available to choose from in store. Scatters Included
Our Stylist Says
The Purley large sofa is a stylish and versatile piece that lends itself well to both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. I love its clean lines and generous scale, making it perfect for family living rooms or open-plan spaces where comfort is key. Its bold colour can act as a focal point, so pairing it with softer, neutral tones or textured cushions will help create a balanced look. For practical styling tips, consider accessorising with layered throws or eclectic cushions to add personality, and position it against a wall with artwork or decorative lighting - like a statement floor lamp - to enhance the ambiance. Overall, this sofa is an excellent investment piece that combines comfort with sleek design, working well in both relaxed and more polished interiors.
