Why These Are My 5 Favourite Sofas from Darlings of Chelsea

This post was first published in 2017 when I was choosing a new sofa for our home. Since then, I’ve continued to follow Darlings of Chelsea for quality leather and fabric sofas.

Below, I’ve updated the list with current models, real availability and fresh affiliate links so you can easily explore styles that suit your space.

I’ve been looking at various sofa websites, trying to get a feel for what sort of shape/material and overall look I’d like to go for. I’m finding it quite hard to whittle down all the choice!  If you’re also considering a new sofa in the near future you may be having the same predicament?

Well, recently I was introduced to Darlings of Chelsea who have a lovely range of sofas – they’re all so nice it’s pretty impossible to select a favourite.  So I’ve chosen a top five of their designs to share with you, in case you haven’t come across this company before and they appeal to you as much as they do to me.

Darwin

 

I like the Darwin for its stylish simplicity.  The look is exceedingly comfy and contemporary with those clean lines, square arms and the dark wood base and feet.  Although available in a range of colours and fabrics, the neutrality of this particular version is subtle and would suit virtually any interior space.  It’s also handmade in the UK so you know you’re getting a quality piece of furniture that will last well into the future – an important consideration as a new sofa is an investment.

Charnwood

A contrast to the more modern Darwin is the elegant Charnwood, shown here in sumptuous velvet.  This plump sofa combines a classic silhouette, a traditional button back and a taste of luxury with fibre cushions and a foam core, plus additional feather scatter cushions.  You can choose from a selection of fabrics, but I absolutely love this teal shade as it makes such a statement in a room and ensures this beautiful sofa is the main focal point!  I have always loved velvet too, as its such a tactile fabric and looks so chic.

Dulwich

If classic buttoned back Chesterfields are just a tad too traditional for you, the amazing design of the Dulwich means you have that stunning hand-buttoned feature but combined with a more contemporary shape. I also love the look of the leather here, the patina isn’t uniform and that appeals to me – every sofa will be unique!  This handmade to order sofa exudes quality and craftmanship, with an extra cool edge – its the sofa a rock star would have I reckon.  Gorgeous!

Weybridge

If the velvet Charnwood is a little too full on for you and you like something more understated, check out the Velvet Nordic Sky Weybridge.  Cool and classy, its simplicity is its strength.  It’s a mid-century modern delight offering clean lines and comfort. In a range of sizes, I personally love blue velvet colour in particular and the way it invites soothing relaxation.

Soho

The Soho sofa is a retro dream.  It exudes style whilst maintaining a family-friendly feel. Perfect for relaxing, lounging, entertaining. The Soho range is sleek with a contemporary edge, balancing retro charm with modern sophistication. With a range of sizes available and an extensive collection of over 170 luxury fabrics and leathers. Wow!

So there you have it, my round up of five favourite sofas from Darlings of Chelsea.  But of course there are many more to look at on the website and you can request up to eight free fabric swatch samples to see the quality finishes up close.  With an enviable reputation for providing excellent comfort, quality and customer service, you’d be silly not to check them out – and if you live near Birmingham, Fulham, St Albans or Surrey you can also visit their friendly showrooms.
