Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its sleek, contemporary silhouette and versatile silver grey upholstery, which makes it an easy anchor for a variety of interior styles. It works particularly well in modern, minimalist spaces or cosy urban interiors, where its clean lines can be complemented with textured cushions and throws. When styling, consider pairing it with neutral or muted tones to emphasise its understated elegance, or add pops of colour through accessories to create visual interest. Practical tips include layering with a mix of pattern and texture in cushions, and placing a soft rug beneath to define the seating area. Its compact size also makes it suitable for smaller living rooms or open-plan spaces, offering comfort without overwhelming the room.

Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
