The Sofa Design Clinic - 30 minutes free consultation

The Sofa Design Clinic

Bring your room.

Leave with a plan.

We'll build the sofa around it. 

Between 5 and 31 August 2026 we're offering a free thirty-minute consultation with our team in our Douglas showroom. It costs nothing and there's no obligation to buy. Thirty minutes with one of our design team, free. Up to 20% off our sofas. 5–31 August, in the Douglas showroom.

Limited availability. Free. No obligation, and nobody will push you towards one.

A sofa is the biggest thing you'll sit in for the next ten years. It deserves more than a scroll and a click.

Most people don't get stuck on whether they want a new sofa. They get stuck on the choosing — which frame, which fabric, which configuration, and whether any of it will actually work in the room they've got. That's the part a website can't solve for you.

So we're setting aside the whole of August for it. Book a thirty-minute slot, bring whatever you're working with, and we'll sit down and work it through properly.

What your thirty minutes looks like

The room. Dimensions, the wall the sofa is going against, where the door and window are, and where people actually sit. Everything else follows from this.

The configuration. Corner, modular, three-seat, chaise on the left or the right. We work out what shape the sofa needs to be from the room, then build it to fit. Your room mapped to scale is the moment most people stop guessing.

The frame. You'll sit on the sofas properly. Depth, seat height, back support, how it feels after five minutes rather than five seconds — none of this reads off a screen.

The fabric and the spec. Our swatch library is staged by mood and colour rather than supplier code. You'll hold them, take them to the window, and see them against your own photos. You leave with a written sheet — model, configuration, fabric and your price held. 

What to bring

The more you bring, the more we can do in half an hour.

• Photos of the room — including the ugly angles
• Rough dimensions, especially the wall the sofa is going against
• A paint chip, a curtain offcut, a cushion, a floor sample — anything that fixes the colour in the room
• Whoever you're deciding with

That last one matters more than people expect. If there's someone else in the house who gets a vote, bring them.

About the discount

Book a slot during the clinic and you get up to 20% off our sofas. The discount is held for seven days afterwards — there's no same-day deadline.

The draw

Every customer who attends the clinic is entered to win a Harmony 3-seater sofa. One winner, drawn after the clinic closes.
