Rupert Silver Fabric Corner Sofas

What is the Rupert corner sofa?

The Rupert is a comfortable, sociable corner sofa upholstered in soft silver fabric. Its L-shape wraps seating around a corner or along a wall, giving you generous room for the family and guests to relax, and making it a natural centrepiece for a living room. Because it comes in both left-hand and right-hand layouts, it's easy to fit into your space whichever way your room is arranged. To see the full choice of corner sofas across the store, our corner sofas collection is a good place to start.

What material is the Rupert?

The Rupert is upholstered in soft, woven fabric — warm and cosy to sit on, and one of the most inviting materials for a sofa you'll relax on every day. We keep fabric clearly distinct from leather and from leather-look Leather Aire, so you always know what you're buying; fabric has its own comfortable, textured feel and is cared for by vacuuming and spot-cleaning rather than wiping like a leather finish. The exact fabric detail is shown on the product page. To explore the wider fabric choice across the store, our fabric sofas collection is a good reference.

Does it come in left-hand and right-hand layouts?

Yes — the Rupert comes in both left-hand and right-hand layouts, so you can match the corner to your room. The layout refers to which side the longer part, or the corner return, sits on. It's worth knowing that left and right conventions can differ between retailers — some describe the orientation as you look at the sofa, others as you sit on it — so always check the product diagram and picture how it will sit in your room before ordering. Getting this right first time saves a lot of hassle. To compare layouts across the wider corner range, our corner sofas collection is a helpful reference.

How do I choose left-hand or right-hand?

A simple way is to stand where you'll enter the room and look at the corner where the sofa will go. Decide which wall the long section should run along and which side the shorter return should wrap around, then check that against the product diagram — because conventions vary, matching the picture to your room is more reliable than the label alone. If you're unsure, our showroom team are happy to talk it through and help you get the orientation right first time. To see the wider fabric corner choice while you decide, our fabric corner sofas collection is a good reference.

What colour is silver?

Silver is a cool, contemporary grey-toned neutral with a soft, light sheen — a little lighter and fresher than a deep charcoal, and effortlessly modern. It's one of the most versatile shades you can choose, working with almost any scheme, from crisp whites and cool blues to warm woods and bright accent colours. In soft fabric it feels calm and inviting, and as a mid-toned neutral it's reasonably forgiving of everyday life while keeping a room feeling light and airy. To compare grey and silver tones across the store, our grey sofas page shows the wider choice.

Who is a corner sofa good for?

A corner sofa is one of the most sociable, practical choices you can make. It seats more people than a single sofa of a similar footprint, wraps everyone around for easy conversation and film nights, and makes clever use of a corner or a wall that might otherwise sit empty. It's a great fit for families and anyone who likes to spread out and relax. Just measure the space carefully and choose the orientation that suits your room. To see other sociable options across the store, our fabric sofas collection is a good reference.

How to care for your fabric sofa

Fabric is straightforward to look after with a little regular attention. Vacuum it regularly with an upholstery tool to lift dust and crumbs, and plump the cushions to keep them comfortable and even. Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing, and check the care label before using any cleaning product, testing it on a hidden area first. Keep the sofa out of prolonged direct sunlight to avoid fading, which helps a cool tone like silver keep its fresh, contemporary look.

How to measure for a corner sofa

Measuring matters with a corner. Note the overall width along both walls, the depth, and the height, and mark the L-shape out on the floor with tape so you can see how it sits and whether you can still move around it and open nearby doors. Check which way the corner needs to face and leave a little breathing space rather than wedging it in tight. And, importantly, measure your access route — doorways, hallways and stairwells — as a corner is a large item to bring in, sometimes in sections. Our sofa buying guide covers measuring up in detail.

Are the sofas fire-safe?

Yes. Every Rupert corner sofa meets UK Fire Resistant (UKFR) standards, so the materials and construction comply with the fire-safety regulations required for upholstered furniture sold in the UK. This is a baseline legal requirement rather than an optional extra, and it applies to both the left-hand and right-hand layouts.

How long does delivery take?

Most in-stock Rupert corner sofas are delivered within 7–10 working days, with free delivery. Delivery is carried out by a two-person team who bring the sofa into your chosen ground-floor room, access permitting, and set it in place; old sofa removal can be arranged if you'd like your existing seating taken away at the same time. As a corner is a large item — sometimes delivered in sections — it's worth measuring your doorways and hallways in advance. Full timescales and coverage are on our delivery information page.

Can you spread the cost with finance?

Yes. You can spread the cost of the Rupert corner sofa using one of our named finance providers, all subject to credit check. Simply select your preferred option at checkout; the exact terms for your order are shown before you confirm. Full details are on our finance options page.
