The Ivy sofa in textured blush.

Keep it cosy

Who says cosy can’t be glamorous? This winter season has seen curved furniture come to the fore, delivering a welcome dose of luxury together with a cocooning environment just made for those long winter nights.

The new Ivy sofa from DFS takes inspiration from this coveting of curves, featuring a soft organic curved form, together with smooth curved arms. Texture is key to this look, and the Ivy sofa comes in a choice of velvet or a bouclé fabric, as shown here.

Pair its striking cream colour with blush tones to add softness and warmth, then add white accessories to give the look a modern edge, or gold accessories to opt for a more traditional, Georgian style glamour.

The Ivy range includes a two-seater sofa, three-seater sofa, four-seater split sofa, and a three corner three sofa, as well as a swivel chair, accent chair, and swivel stool, shown here in a sumptuous blush velvet. All pieces in the collection are available in a choice of two fabrics, velvet and bouclé fabric.

Lauren Harris, DFS Senior Designer said: “The Ivy Collection has been designed with striking style front of mind. The curves and soft lines of the sofa reflect the trend for organic forms that we’ve seen coming through in interiors for the autumn/winter season.

“The boucle fabric really plays on the tactility and texture element that is crucial for adding softness and depth to a look. The beauty of the Ivy sofa is that it can work for both pared-back and more maximalist looks - it offers a chic focal point for those that prefer a more minimalist aesthetic, or can be layered up with cushions, colour, and metallics, to really add to its inherent drama.”

On the other hand, if the Ivy doesn’t tickle your fancy, the new Unwind corner sofa from DFS could be what you’re looking for.

The sofa’s generous proportions, deep rounded seats and plump pillow-style back cushions make this the perfect place to relax. The Unwind sofa’s open corner shape offers a stylish option for those wanting to max out their seating space or are simply looking for more room to stretch out and relax.

The Unwind range includes a left hand and right hand facing five piece open end corner sofa, together with a two-seater sofa, three-seater sofa, four-seater sofa, snuggler sofa, armchair and a footstool.
