The seat: A sumptuous velvet numberWhy it’s a contender: It looks chic and luxuriousSofa styles are moving on. Many of us are gravitating towards plusher, more decorative designs, rather than functional, straight lines.

If comfort is your priority, then an oversized armchair could be just what you need instead – especially if space is tight or you live alone. While sleek, flat-cushioned corner sofas often lack the snuggle factor, a cosy upholstered seat like this was made for retreating to, blanket over your knees, at the end of a long day.
