Custom Sofas: What You Can Actually Specify

More than a fabric choice

A custom sofa order lets you specify dimensions, fabric, cushion style and overall silhouette — from a classic silhouette to a modern statement piece — rather than choosing from a fixed showroom range and hoping it fits your space. That's a meaningfully different process from buying off the floor.

Where customisation matters most

Dimensions are usually the most valuable thing to get right: a sofa built to your exact space avoids the common problem of a "close enough" showroom piece that's slightly too deep, too long, or awkward in a specific corner. Cushion firmness and seat depth are the next most consequential choices, since they affect daily comfort more than fabric or colour ever will.

Thinking through fabric before frame

It's worth deciding on durability requirements — pets, children, high-traffic use — before falling in love with a specific fabric, since some luxurious materials trade off practicality for look. We can talk through fabric performance honestly as part of your consultation rather than just showing swatches.

Timeline expectations

Custom builds take longer than a curtain or blind order, since the frame and upholstery are built specifically to your specification rather than assembled from stock components. We'll give you a firm timeline based on your chosen design and fabric once the order is confirmed.

Getting started

A free, no-obligation consultation is the starting point for any custom sofa order, where we talk through dimensions, fabric and style together before anything is built.
