The problem with sofas is style and comfort seem to be mutually incompatible.


BTW it would be half paid off now and half paid off once I get paid in 2 weeks.


Does no one like the pistachio leather one.

I don't normally go for leather but I like the shape and colour. I was thinking of painting the wall pistachio but if I got that sofa I couldn't...

Hmm.

has grown on me in the last 10 mins yah.

Probably cause it's the one you like THis is why my mum has so much shit

What about Gracie in a different colour option?

Oooh this looks comfy

http://www.dfs.co.uk/sofas/fabric/harriet/160/2881/0/all

I did look at the gracie. It's quite nice. Luxurious looking.

The Harriet is quite a good modern old-fashioned look. But it's like my present sofa in that it has high arms which is good for sitting up but less good for lying down. So stylish but not so comfy really. Gorgeous colours though so actually tempting me.

argh.

ETA: I didn't notice your earlier post

Get a throw

argh.

They all come in loads of different colours (all, as far as I can see, including red) so look for shape rather than colour first of all.

 

[quimcunx]

They are all a bit mad aren't they? I don't personally 'do' patterns or funny shapes though.

I hate this one less much than the others

and this one

http://www.dfs.co.uk/sofas/summer-09/kallista/193/2665/0/all

I've come to the realisation that patterns are easier to match to other decor than plain, unless you are talking brown leather. But (and I might be being a reactionary contrarian here) brown leather can fuck off.

Yeah, but that is a particularly lush colour.

 

[5t3IIa]

I've come to the realisation that patterns are easier to mix than plain, unless you are talking brown leather. But (and I might be being a reactionary contrarian here) brown leather can fuck off.

But brown leather goes with anything doesn't it? Much more so that pistachio leather...

 

[Pip]

Pity this is so expensive

http://www.dfs.co.uk/sofas/fabric/giselle/160/2860/0/all

It comes in aubergine, pink and red. Is that the kind of shape you like?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

So you don't like this one then?

What if it was red?

Which is why everyone's got one. I don't need it to go with anything, just one room in my house. Also you have to build a room's decor round something. It might as well be the sofa.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

why don't you tell us what style you like.

You're such a girlie

 

[quimcunx]

So you don't like this one then?



What if it was red?

No. No.

What is your obsession with red? I'd prefer something from the purple range, but I already have some red in the room, so red is a possible.

 

[Pip]

She's in a sofa fervour Minnie!

Aren't the sofas I've linked to a clue?



Also you have a real knack. I don't like any of those shapes.

Oh my word, THEY are some nice sofas! Look at bluebell and Snowdrop. Lovely.

but what if you move?

and expensive

 

[Pip]

Tell me about it, I thought I was posh when I spent £100odd on mine

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

No. No.

red, purple = same thing

erm, right, I forgot it was purple you were after

 

[5t3IIa]

Mine came with my flat It's green which I LOVE but it's got like green tartan cushions

 

[quimcunx]

but what if you move?

I will rent this place out and leave it here. Or decorate the new room to still go with it. Or not move. Or have it recovered. Or be glad of the excuse to buy a nice brown leather sofa and be rid of that garishly patterned monstrosity.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I tried to get b/f to go halves with me and buy him one for Christmas for £400 but he wouldn't have it

His sofa's so knackered, you might as well be sitting on the floor, 'cos that's how much support it's got

 

[quimcunx]

Quimmy do you realise you can get all those sofas in eight different colour ways at no extra cost?

Yes. I have looked at teh colour options for all the ones I was interested in. And they say to call them if you can't see an option you want. It has to be said though that seeing the design in a pattern and colour that you like does help.

That's not impulse buying, though, that's just shopping like a bloke.

IMO, impulse buying is buying something you don't need but convince yourself you can find a use for!

Well I don't need a sofa. I have a sofa. Also look up impulse in the dictionary. And fuck off. We don't need men here.

 

[quimcunx]

The ones you were looking at buying were very stylish, expecially the green plush one, but didn't look that comfy...

Now now, just because you're getting frustrated, there's no need for that kind of language

 

[Pip]

You'd hate the one I've got now!
