Introducing our Timeless sofa style. Known for being one of the easiest sofa shapes to live with, this truly classic sofa style offers timeless, refined, and comfortable features - and a look you’ll never tire of. With an almost informal elegance to them, this sofa style fits anywhere from a busy living room to a quiet and relaxed study.
Perhaps your thing is a subtle, gently curved arm; or an understated, simple straight silhouette - whatever it is, we’ve got just the thing for you within our Timeless sofa range.
These sofas are packed with subtle but tasteful features, the kinds of details that will transcend trends and always be in style. Explore designs with subtly splayed arms and casual lines to add character to your space; or choose a formal back sofa with boxy, ample proportions for more of a modern look.
Instantly evoking the elegance of a British stately home, an English roll arm sofa is a look you will likely recognise, even if you don’t know the term for this sofa type. This timeless sofa style is characterised by a higher back, flanked by arms that roll down the sides of the sofa, and T-shaped seat cushions that jut out in front of the base of the arms. Whether featuring a slim or scroll arm, a looser or more formal silhouette - an English roll arm sofa breathes effortless elegance and class into a space.
A track arm sofa features a straight, squared-off arm, giving a much more modern feel than something like the scroll or Lawson arms found on traditional sofas. This style of sofa lends itself well to contemporary spaces - and you can find track arm sofas in many different shapes and sizes. The width of the arm offers a vastly different look, with wider arms creating a squat, roomy aesthetic, and slimmer versions running more formal and sleek.
Crafted to be cosy and comfortable, our Timeless sofas sit atop sturdy feet, and are available in a range of shapes and sizes - from standard two- and three-seaters to chaises and corner sofas. Whatever you choose, you’ll be safe in the knowledge your sofa style will stand the test of time.
We’ve done our research and testing, and offer only the most comfortable and hard wearing fabrics for you to choose from; plus, with a tight weave style and the use of neutral colours, you won’t need to worry about matching these sofas with your home decor either.
