Sofa bed and matching large modular/split sofa

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Have quite a large living room - the current style we are going for is quite classy with a limestone fireplace, overmantel mirror, alcove units, mid tone oak effect vinyl flooring, polished pebble walls, chandelier, victorian detailing on ceiling.

We are looking to purchase a sofa bed and matching large sofa. Require sofa bed as we only have a 1 bed flat.

We had found the Ashford sofas from next but unfortunately the large didn’t fit in the house when they tried to deliver. Now finding it really difficult to find a sofa bed with a matching large split/modular sofa in a nice fabric (we were going to go with ‘boucle weave light dove’ from Next).

Don’t have an enormous budget - maybe £2500 for both.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what might work? (all suggestions extremely welcome!!)

Are the doorways narrow then? What do they measure?

Lounge doorway is 81cm wide with door on, and would be 82cm if could take off. Very old fittings that seem to have been painted over many times so getting door off may be an issue.

Doorway height is 196cm

Hallway width is 77.5cm and height wise no issue in hall - very high ceilings. The hallway width is probably the biggest problem. The only access to lounge is through this hallway door, and the width is only 77.5cm. The Next team were trying to twist it around but the sofa was just too big. They actually ended up accidentally putting a hole in my wall trying to do it!

Well, maybe when the kitchen stuff is out you can try different options (ones you want to try) in the wardrobe area and see what you like best. (Actually, there isn't that much stuff next to wardrobe.....up to you, though. Hmmmm. In the meantime, I think you could look for hardware for the cabinets and something for the end of the bed that isn't green.

Sofa and living room dilemma

Oh dear, so many votes for changing the door! I really think we've left it too late. We're due back in next week...this is why you should think of living room layout at the start of a project! Ultimately, the middle (darkest) room will be the t.v room - don't know if this changes anything?but for the next few years it'll be a playroom so we can shut the door on the smallies' mess. My husband always wanted to close up the door on this front room but I resisted as I liked the idea of entering the rooms separately. Was I wrong? We are a family of 5 with extended family visiting frequently so quite a lot of seating required. It seems that if I'm not willing to move the doors at this stage, then my least bad option is the corner sofa under the window, TV in opposite corner, perhaps with one door always shut into the playroom (there will be glazed panels at the top of this door so luckily light can still get through). The lady in the sofa shop suggested then placing perhaps a table and lamp in the bay, is this the best we could do? To add to the pressure, there's a sale on the large sofa, reduced by 1k, but only until the end of the week! So not much time to look into option of built-in day-bed. Thanks so much for all your advice!

You could split up the sitting room into two rooms (would probably mean boarding up the fireplace). Some sort of windows in the partition wall would allow some natural light in to the space in the middle (see this ideabook for inspiration). https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/houzz-tour-a-gorgeous-parquet-floor-is-reinstated-in-a-city-flat-stsetivw-vs~148736933 The only issue would be access - one of the children would have to go through the other's room... maybe a screen of some sorts would help with that. Or you (the parents) could have the middle bedroom - the French have done quite a good job with all those mirrors. The bedroom by the kitchen could then become a snug/TV room, and you'd only have to accommodate a dining table in the existing kitchen.
