TIMELESS PIECES
‘The beauty of a classic style is that it offers enduring good looks, so its flexibility makes it a great investment piece,’ says Andrew. ‘A Chesterfield-style sofa very much fits the bill – it looks just as at home in a modern space as it does in a traditional or period house. Think of it like a nicely fitted white T-shirt or your favourite pair of jeans: it’s integral to your look but can be styled in many ways and never goes out of fashion.’
‘As well as investing in a classic shape, it’s important to look for materials that can stand the test of time,’ says Sarah. ‘The Heritage sofa from the Halo Luxe range at DFS comes in strong, durable leather, so it really ticks that box – and because it’s a natural product, it’s comfortable too. It’s handfinished, so you’ll get the highestquality buttery finish that’s perfect to sink into. Leather only gets better with age, and this neutral shade is always in style.’
