Your sofa is the focal point of your living room. It is the place where you make memories with your family and friends, where you watch TV while eating a pint of ice cream, where you give your dog a snuggle only to brush the hair off after – but it’s not his fault! The sofa comes in many shapes, sizes and materials, at varying price points depending on what you are looking for. Today, we are going to talk to you about the different types of sofas we have for you to choose from; from elegant leather corner units to traditional fabric 2-seaters.
With this breakdown, we are also going to remind you how to take care of your sofa – old or new – to have the longest life in your home! We will break this blog series into different sections based on materials to make it easier for you to navigate: Leather, Velvet, Linen and Fabric.
Today, we will focus on fabric!
Here at Michael Murphy Home Furnishing, we are the premier destination for fabric sofas. Our handpicked selection of fabrics caters to all tastes and preferences, ensuring you find the ideal piece for your home! Fabric is an ideal option for creating a warm, inviting environment for any home, in any living room. Because fabric-covered furniture is so popular, we have a wide array of options for you and your home – from armchairs to footstools, 2-seaters to modular sofas. A lot of fabric sofas are part of our Bespoke range. This is where you can customise your sofa to fit exactly what you want – be sure to go in-store for more information on this service!
Footstool:
Everybody loves a footstool, especially is there is storage involved! Thankfully for you, we have an array of storage stools available in fabric. Elise is the perfect storage stool; sitting compact yet functional, the Elise storage stool is an understated design whose practicality makes it a valuable addition to your living space!
We also love the Jackson fabric footstool. Available in a variety of colours, the Jackson footstool combines style, function and comfort to create a great addition to any living space. The supremely comfortable body is dressed in a soft fabric and is well-cushioned for additional cosiness. Not to mention the finishing touch of high-shine chrome feet – just stunning!
Armchair:
Fabric armchairs are perfect for making a set or a statement depending on what your goal is. If you want to complete a set of living furniture, the addition of an armchair can be beneficial for this. Or if you wanted to make a statement by adding a new texture or colour to your space, an armchair is the best way to do this – mixing and matching your furniture and furnishings creates interest and uniqueness. We have a wide range of armchairs, in different shapes, colours and sizes depending on what you are looking for in your space. We have some statement chairs like the Aurora armchair, serving a modern curved back with the exotic allure of Moroccan inspiration. Or the more traditional Dewsbury recliner armchair. This type of chair is what we are most known for here at Michael Murphy Home Furnishing, the traditional and comfortable sofas that you can sink into and remain for hours.
2-Seaters:
We have so many types of 2-seaters on offer, but one of our favourites is the outstanding, aristocratic Dexter sofa. Designed with style and comfort in mind, Dexter was built to last due to its spring suspension system. The classic chesterfield sophistication found on this sofa showcases the grandeur of traditional design with deep tufting shown throughout the piece.
3-Seaters:
A lot of our 3-seaters in fabric look like the 2-seaters just on a larger scale; still boasting 2 seat cushions. This is to reduce the amount of ‘clutter’ being seen in your room and to make the space more visually interesting. One example of this is Megan. The Megan fabric 3-seater sofa is just beautiful. A truly standout piece from the shell stitching to the soft curve back and arms, this piece is truly a showstopper!
Corner Units:
Depending on how bit you want your furniture, a corner unit can benefit your space by removing other furniture and condensing to a corner! We think a fabric corner unit screams elegance and practicality – perfect for a chit-chat on a Friday night with the girls or watching the Sunday game with the boys.
The Grantham corner unit is perfect for this; it is not only designed to create a cosy and inviting nook but also makes efficient use of your room’s layout. The cream upholstery enhances the aesthetics of any room. It’s so comfortable – like, so comfortable. These traditional shapes strive for comfort and Grantham has done it once again. Go in-store to try it out for yourself, you won’t regret it!
Modular Units:
We have a wide range of modular sofas depending on your taste. If you want something as unique as you are, the Olando modular sofa could be exactly what you need to make a statement. The Moroccan style modular sofa with unique Boho chic covers boasts an eclectic and inviting appearance that stands out in any living space.
If you want something trendier, perhaps Cloud would suit your taste. Cloud comes in many forms for you to mix and match to fit your space. The creamy colour paired with the poofy cushioned body brings tranquillity and relaxation – you feel relaxed just looking at it!
Taking care of fabric:
Maintaining the look of your fabric furniture has never been easier because here at Michael Murphy Home Furnishing, we have developed the perfect cleaning spray for the job – introducing, Revive & Care Fabric Cleaner If you find your furniture has some stains, spray the cleaner directly on the area, leave for a few minutes, then wipe away the residue with a damp cloth!
