Scott Grey Velvet Sofas

What is the Scott range?

The Scott is a plush grey velvet sofa range — a soft, tactile, characterful design that brings a touch of luxury to a living room. It's available in two pieces, a 2 seater and a corner sofa, so you can pick the one that suits your space. Velvet gives it a lovely depth of colour and a subtle sheen that catches the light, making it a real statement seat. To see the wider choice of velvet seating across the store, our velvet sofas collection is a good place to start.

What is velvet, and is it a fabric?

Yes — velvet is a fabric. It's a soft, woven fabric with a short, dense pile that gives it its signature plush feel and subtle sheen, and we keep it distinct from the other fabric types: it isn't a ribbed corduroy, a flat plain weave, a brushed suede, or a smooth leather or leather-look material. One thing worth knowing is that velvet naturally shades and pressure-marks — you'll see lighter and darker patches where the pile has been brushed in different directions, and marks where someone has been sitting. This is a normal characteristic of velvet and part of its charm, not a fault, and it brushes out easily. For flatter, more uniform weaves, our fabric sofas collection shows the wider choice.

What colour is the Scott sofa?

The Scott is shown here in grey — a cool, contemporary neutral that suits almost any room and pairs beautifully with velvet's soft sheen. Grey is a versatile, easy-to-live-with shade that works with both warm and cool colour schemes, which makes it one of the most popular choices for a statement velvet sofa. Please check the current colour options on each product page, as the exact shades available can change. To compare grey tones across the store, our grey sofas page shows the wider choice.

What sizes are available?

The Scott range comes in two pieces. The 2 seater is a neat, comfortable sofa that's ideal for a smaller living room, a snug or as a second sofa in a larger space. The corner sofa is a roomier, more sociable option, with seating that wraps around a corner to seat the whole family and make the most of a room. Each piece's exact dimensions are on its product page, so it's easy to check what will fit. For coordinated multi-piece options across the store, our sofa sets collection is a useful reference.

The Scott corner sofa

The corner sofa is a wonderfully sociable choice, seating several people and making great use of the space in a living room. Corner sofas come in different orientations so they fit neatly into your room, so it's worth checking the diagram and measurements on the product page to see which way the corner sits, and measuring your room and access route before you order — a corner is a large piece. To browse the full choice of corners across the store, our corner sofas collection is the place to start.

Is a velvet sofa practical for a family?

It can be a lovely family choice, with a little care in mind. Velvet is soft, inviting and surprisingly hard-wearing, and it has a warm, characterful look. The main things to remember are that velvet shows shading and pressure marks (which brush out) and that spills are best blotted straight away rather than rubbed. If that suits your household, a Scott velvet sofa is a comfortable, characterful centrepiece. If you'd like a single matching chair alongside it, our armchairs range is a good place to look.

How to choose and measure your Scott sofa

Start by deciding which piece suits your room — the 2 seater for a compact space, or the corner for a larger, more sociable layout. Then measure: note the width, depth and height, and for the corner mark the footprint out on the floor with tape so you can see how it sits and whether you can move around it. Just as important, measure your delivery route — doorways, hallways, stairwells and tight turns — since the corner is a large piece. Our sofa buying guide walks through measuring up in detail.

How to care for a velvet sofa

Velvet is easy to keep looking good with the right routine. Vacuum gently with an upholstery brush, working in the direction of the pile, and brush the pile back into place to even out any shading. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry, absorbent cloth — dab, don't rub, and avoid over-wetting, as some velvets can water-mark. Don't scrub, and check the care label for the recommended cleaning code before using any product. Keep the sofa out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade the pile over time. A little regular brushing keeps velvet looking its plush best.

Are the sofas fire-safe?

Yes. Every Scott 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 2 seater and the corner.

How long does delivery take?

Most in-stock Scott 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 the corner is a large sofa, it's worth measuring your doorways, hallways and stairwells 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 any Scott 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.
