What is the velvet corner sofa sale?

The velvet corner sofa sale is our current selection of velvet corner sofas at reduced, sale prices — a good opportunity to bring a bit of luxury to your living room for less. Velvet gives a corner sofa a soft, plush feel and a rich, characterful look, and a corner is a sociable, space-smart way to seat the family. The sale price for each sofa is shown on its own product card above. To see the full choice of corner sofas across the store, our corner sofas collection is a good place to start.

What is velvet, and how is it different from other fabrics?

Velvet is a soft, woven fabric with a short, dense pile that gives it its signature plush feel and subtle sheen. It's a fabric, and we keep it distinct from the others: it isn't a ribbed corduroy, a flat plain weave, a brushed suede, or a smooth leather or leather-look material. One thing that's 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. If you'd prefer a flatter, more uniform weave, our fabric sofas collection shows the wider choice.

Left-hand, right-hand or U-shape — which do you need?

Corner sofas come in different orientations so they fit neatly into your room. A left-hand or right-hand corner has its longer section on one side, and a U-shape has seating on three sides for a larger, more enclosed layout. The important thing to know is that “left” and “right” are defined differently by different retailers — some describe the sofa as you look at it, others as you sit on it — so don't rely on the word alone. Always check the diagram and measurements on the product page, and picture (or tape out) how the sofa will sit against your walls, doors and windows before you order. To compare larger multi-piece layouts, our sofa sets collection is a useful reference.

What colours are available?

The sale includes three rich velvet colours. Black is smart, dramatic and hides everyday marks well; grey is a cool, contemporary neutral that suits almost any room; and mink is a soft, warm taupe — a greige shade between grey and light brown that adds warmth and works beautifully with velvet's sheen. All three look luxurious in a corner sofa. To compare grey tones across the store, our grey sofas page shows the wider choice.

Is a velvet corner sofa practical for a family?

It can be, with a little care in mind. Velvet is soft and inviting and surprisingly hard-wearing, and the darker colours like black are forgiving of everyday marks. 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 velvet corner is a lovely, characterful family sofa. If you'd like a single matching seat to go with it, our armchairs range is a good place to look.

Why buy a velvet corner sofa in the sale?

A corner sofa is one of the bigger furniture buys for a living room, so the sale is a good moment to get the velvet look for less. You still get everything that comes with any order from us — free delivery by our own two-person team, our 14-day change-of-mind returns and interest-free finance options — with the sale price shown clearly on each product. Stock in a sale can be limited, so if you see the colour and orientation you want, it's worth not waiting too long. To browse the wider range beyond the sale, see our sofas collection.

How to choose and measure a corner sofa

Measuring is the most important step with any corner sofa. Note the overall width along both sides, the depth, and the height, and mark it out on the floor with tape so you can see how it sits and whether you can still move around it. Decide which orientation you need by facing the space the sofa will go into and checking the product-page diagram, and — just as important — measure your delivery route (doorways, hallways, stairwells and tight turns), as a corner or U-shape is a large delivery. 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 velvet corner sofa in the sale 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 across every colour and orientation.

How long does delivery take?

Most in-stock velvet 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 or U-shape is a large sofa, it's especially important to measure 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 velvet corner sofa in the sale 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the velvet corner sofa sale?
It's our current selection of velvet corner sofas at reduced, sale prices, in black, grey and mink, and in left-hand, right-hand and U-shape layouts. The sale price for each sofa is shown on its own product card in the grid above. Sale stock can be limited, so availability changes as items sell.
What is velvet, and how is it different from other fabrics?
Velvet is a soft, woven fabric with a short, dense pile that gives it a plush feel and subtle sheen. It's kept distinct from ribbed corduroy, flat plain weaves, brushed suede and smooth leather. Velvet naturally shades and pressure-marks — lighter and darker patches where the pile is brushed — which is a normal characteristic and brushes out, not a fault.
What is the difference between a left-hand and right-hand corner sofa?
Both have their longer section on one side; a left-hand corner has it on one side and a right-hand corner on the other. The catch is that left and right are defined differently by different retailers — some describe the sofa as you look at it, others as you sit on it — so always check the diagram on the product page rather than relying on the word alone.
What is a U-shape corner sofa?
A U-shape corner sofa has seating on three sides, wrapping around to form a U, so it seats more people and creates a more enclosed, sociable layout than a left- or right-hand corner. It's the larger option and is best suited to a bigger or open-plan room, so it's especially worth measuring carefully.
How do I know which orientation I need?
Face the space where the sofa will go, decide which side you want the longer section on, and then check the product-page diagram to match that to a left-hand or right-hand corner, since conventions vary between retailers. For three-sided seating in a larger room, choose the U-shape. Taping the shape out on the floor first really helps.
What colours are available?
Three: black, grey and mink. Black is smart and dramatic and hides marks well, grey is a cool contemporary neutral, and mink is a soft, warm taupe — a greige shade between grey and light brown. All three look luxurious in velvet. Check the product grid above for current stock in each colour.
What colour is mink?
Mink is a soft, warm taupe — a greige shade that sits between grey and a light brown, named after the colour of the fur. It's a gentle, warm neutral that pairs beautifully with velvet's sheen and works in both cool and warm schemes, making it a versatile choice.
How do I measure for a corner sofa?
Note the overall width along both sides, the depth and the height, and mark it out on the floor with tape to see how it sits. Decide the orientation by facing the space and checking the product diagram, and measure your delivery route — doorways, hallways, stairwells and tight turns — since a corner or U-shape is a large delivery.
How do I care for a velvet sofa?
Vacuum gently with an upholstery brush in the direction of the pile, and brush the pile back into place to even out shading. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth — dab, don't rub, and avoid over-wetting, as some velvets can water-mark. Don't scrub, check the care label before using any product, and keep the sofa out of prolonged direct sunlight.
What is your returns policy?
We offer a 14-day change of mind returns window from the day your sofa is delivered, on items returned in their original condition. To arrange a return, contact our team within those 14 days and we'll talk you through the next steps. This is in addition to your statutory rights, which cover goods that are faulty or not as described.
What happens if my sofa arrives damaged?
If your sofa arrives with any damage, contact our team as soon as possible — ideally within 48 hours — with a few photographs, and we'll arrange a repair, replacement or collection. It helps to check the sofa over on delivery before the team leaves where you can, including where the sections meet.
Do I need to assemble the sofa myself?
There's very little to do. A corner or U-shape usually arrives in sections, and our two-person team brings them into your room, links them together and fits any feet on-site, so the sofa is ready to use. No tools or special skills are needed.
What guarantee comes with these sofas?
Every sofa is inspected before it leaves us, and your purchase is protected by your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which cover goods that are faulty or not as described. You also have our 14-day change of mind returns. Buying in the sale doesn't change these rights. For confirmation of any specific manufacturer guarantee on a particular model, please check the product page or ask our team.
