Interior designer Andrew Griffiths and House Beautiful’s Style & Interiors Director Sarah Keady share their tips on the latest trends. This month: modular living

LUXURIOUS COMFORT

‘I always ask clients what kind of sofa-sitters they are,’ says Andrew. ‘If they’re a fan of feet-up Netflix sessions or want to be able to lie back with a book, their seating needs to be designed for the job. Luxuriously deep seats are a good starting point, while a modular system gives you the ability to put together the right size and shape of sofa for your space, however big or small your room. The flexibility that it brings is a big plus.’ ‘The advantage of modular pieces is that you can choose a configuration that’s tailor-made to suit your home and lifestyle,’ says Sarah. ‘Stylish and supercomfy, the Tenby range from the Grand Designs collection at DFS has two- three- or four-seater sofas, a large corner group, plus a cuddler and footstool to choose from. It comes in eight on-trend colours in three gorgeous finishes – chenille, velvet and weave. What’s more, it’s made from sustainable materials, so you can curl up and relax in comfort knowing that not only does your sofa look fabulous, but it comes with ecofriendly credentials, too.’
