Sofas are about so much more than just functional seating; they are beautifully designed pieces intended to add character to rooms. Striped upholstery offers a wealth of appeal and infinite style, and sofa experts Darlings of Chelsea have a wide range to choose from this autumn with options to suit any decorating scheme. Striped upholstery makes a bold style statement and helps to bring a wider colour palette into the home without relying on accessories. The Trafalgar sofa in Velluti upholstery combines the classic autumnal palette of evergreens with more opulent hues of damson and cerise, for a sumptuously decadent seating solution that would look equally at home in a neutral or a bold setting. Adding an extravagant accent to a neutral décor scheme, the Amelia sofa is a very comfortable fabric sofa with traditional styling. The warm gold of the striped upholstery is tempered by the cooler silver and black hues, exuding a tailored masculine feel which is softened by the optional scatter cushions. In comparison, the more classic, feminine shape of the Portsmouth sofa lends itself to refined, elegant stripes that would add an accent to neutral décor, or compliment a bolder and punchier colour scheme.
