Inspiration June 15, 2022 Back for more inspiration How to Choose the Best G Plan Sofa for Your Family Our sofas are the heart of our homes – a place to enjoy life’s little moments. Whether that’s somewhere to host a family games night, or a place for your children to build a fort, our sofas are the centrepiece of our living spaces. There’s a lot to consider when choosing the best sofa to suit your family’s needs. Durability is a big factor – that’s why all our sofas are carefully handcrafted and built to last, to help stand the test of time. How will your family use the space? Style, size, and practicalities like storage are important elements to consider. We’ve pulled together a guide on what to look for in a family sofa, to help you make your perfect choice. Sizing up Depending on the size of your space, we have a range of options to suit the needs of your family. Do you like to cosy up together or sprawl out when you’re relaxing? A 3 seater sofa is ideal for family living and we offer a variety of styles to suit your needs – from the deep, sumptuous cushions of our Lounge collection to the timeless, stylish support of our Classic collection. For rooms that are already being taken up by bulky children’s items, such as toys, you may want to consider one of our compact sofa ranges, such as The Sixty Five. These ranges offer signature G Plan comfort and style with smaller proportions, helping you to maximise your space. Perfect for gatherings For a sleek and practical solution, you may want to consider a corner sofa such as The Sixty Eight. This style is ideal for larger families to gather for movie nights, as well as being a great space saver. For added impact, why not choose a chaise corner sofa such as Jackson, providing more room to stretch out – as well as creating a real statement for your space. Stylish storage Designed for modern living, our modular sofas allow you to build your perfect sofa configuration, to suit your space and the needs of your family. Many of our power recliner ranges have integrated USB charging ports, meaning you can charge your phone and other devices from the comfort of your seat. Our Hurst range also has practical storage solutions – ideal for tidying away those handheld devices and cables at the end of the day. Sleepover party ready For families that enjoy hosting, you may need your sofa to be multifunctional. The The Fifty Four effortlessly transforms from sumptuous seating by day, to a generous king-sized sleeping space by night. This is the ideal sofa for pre-organised or spontaneous sleepovers, meaning you have a place for friends or family to crash at any time. Family friendly fabrics The fabric you choose for your family sofa needs to be durable, but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. Our Aquaclean range offers a variety of contemporary velvet-style fabrics, which have a protective treatment incorporated into them. As a result, it enables most household stains to be removed with just water – perfect for families with young children and pets. We also have a range of beautiful leathers that can be easily wiped clean, offering both style and function. Order up to 8 free samples today to discover your perfect cover.
