About this 2 seater sofas

Home Detail Chesterfield Velvet 2 Seater Sofa in Midnight Blue

Smaller rooms deserve a sofa that fits them properly. The Home Detail Chesterfield Velvet 2 Seater Sofa is a two-seater loveseat-style piece for flats, bedrooms, offices and entrance halls. It is upholstered in velvet in midnight blue. Velvet has a dense, soft pile that catches the light and gives a room a more finished, upholstered look. It rewards a little regular care and feels noticeably plusher than a flat weave.

Cushioning is foam filling, the usual choice for a seat that stays supportive through daily use. The frame is described as solid wood, which is what holds a sofa square and stops it creaking or sagging as the years go by. Listed seat depth is 56cm and seat height 48cm, which means a balanced seat that works for both sitting up and relaxing back. Maximum load is listed at 200kg.

Two-seater sofas like this one are chosen for comfort first: the cushioning, the seat depth and the upholstery matter more than any single extra, and the specification table sets out the details for this model.

Day to day, a two-seater is the sofa you actually end up sitting on: it takes two people, or one person with a laptop and a blanket, and it leaves the rest of the room free for a coffee table, a desk or a play area. Choosing midnight blue is a confident move; keep the walls and rug simple and let the sofa carry the colour in the room.

It is listed as 2 seater. Expect to do a little assembly; instructions and fixings are supplied. Measure the room and, just as importantly, the hallway, stairs and doorways it has to get through before you order.

The colour in the photographs is a guide: lighting and screens differ, so judge the shade from the colour name and the photos together. It is a smart fit for students, couples and anyone downsizing who wants proper seating without losing the floor.

Care guide

How to care for your midnight blue velvet two-seater sofa

A sofa is a big purchase, so a little regular care goes a long way. These steps are written for the velvet on this sofa; always check the care label on the sofa itself first and test any cleaner on a hidden patch.

1. Brush the pile weeklyUse a soft clothes brush or the upholstery attachment on low suction, moving in one direction, to keep the pile even and lift dust before it works in.
2. Blot, do not scrubDab spills with a clean white cloth straight away. Scrubbing can crush and mark velvet, and coloured cloths can transfer dye onto a pale sofa.
3. Keep it away from steam and heatHot irons and steam cleaners can flatten or water-mark velvet. If a crease needs help, hold a steamer well clear of the surface or ask a professional upholstery cleaner.
4. Plump and rotateGive the seat and back cushions a good plump once a week, and where cushions are loose swap their positions now and then so wear spreads evenly.
5. Keep it away from heat and strong sunRadiators, fires and a window that gets all-day sun fade and dry out upholstery. A gap from heat sources and a curtain or blind at the brightest hours keeps the colour true for longer.
6. Know when to call a professionalIf the sofa is badly stained or the label says professional cleaning only, an upholstery cleaner will know what is safe for the fabric. It costs far less than replacing the sofa, and always test any product on a hidden area first.
