Livie Fabric Sofas

What is the Livie sofa range?

The Livie is a collection of comfortable, stylish fabric sofas designed to blend comfort, style and practicality for modern homes. With clean, classic lines and a soft, inviting feel, it's made to suit a variety of living spaces — from a snug or a smaller lounge to a busy family living room. Choose the size that fits your space and enjoy an easy-to-live-with sofa that settles happily into almost any scheme. To see the full choice of fabric sofas across the store, our fabric sofas collection is a good place to start.

What sizes are available?

The Livie comes in three sizes, so there's a fit for most rooms. The one-seater is a single armchair-style seat, ideal as a companion chair or for a smaller space. The two-seater is a comfortable sofa for couples or compact living rooms, and the three-seater gives you generous room for the family to spread out. Mixing sizes — say a three-seater with a one-seater — is an easy way to furnish a whole room in the same design. Each piece's exact dimensions are on its product page. To see the wider two-seater choice, our 2 seater sofas collection is a good reference.

Is the one-seater an armchair?

Essentially, yes — the one-seater is a single-seat chair in the Livie design, so it works just like an armchair while matching the two- and three-seater sofas exactly. It's a lovely way to add a coordinating single seat to a Livie sofa, giving you extra seating without a second full sofa, and it's a neat choice on its own for a bedroom, a reading corner or a smaller room. To browse other single seats across the store, our armchairs collection is a good reference.

What does “traditional” mean here?

A traditional sofa is a classic, fixed sofa — one with no reclining action or moving parts. It's simple, sturdy and timeless: you get comfortable, dependable seating and a clean, classic look that doesn't date. Because there's no mechanism, a traditional sofa is straightforward to place and easy to live with, and it suits both modern and more classic rooms. The Livie's traditional design is part of what makes it so versatile across different living spaces. To see the wider three-seater choice, our 3 seater sofas collection is a good reference.

What material is the Livie?

The Livie 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.

Who is the Livie sofa good for?

The Livie is a genuinely versatile choice, which is part of its appeal. Its range of sizes means it suits everyone from couples and singles in a compact space — where a one- or two-seater fits neatly — to families who need the room of a three-seater or a mix of sizes. Its clean, classic design works in modern and traditional rooms alike, and soft fabric makes it comfortable and welcoming for everyday relaxing. If you want a practical, good-looking sofa that adapts to your space, the Livie is well worth a look. To compare other family-friendly options, our 3 seater sofas collection is a good reference.

What colours are available?

The Livie comes in a choice of colours to suit different schemes, and the colour of each piece is shown on its own product page and photo — so the best way to find the exact shade you want is to browse the range in the grid above and check the images. If you'd like help matching a colour to your room, or want to know which shades are currently in stock, our showroom team are happy to advise. Whichever you choose, soft fabric gives the Livie a warm, inviting feel.

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, and rotate any reversible cushions from time to time to keep wear even.

How to choose and measure your sofa

A little measuring saves a lot of hassle. Note the width, depth and height of the size you're considering from its product page, and mark the footprint 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. Leave a little breathing space rather than filling the wall exactly. And, importantly, measure your access route — doorways, hallways and stairwells — so the sofa can be brought in easily on delivery day. Our sofa buying guide covers measuring up in detail.

Are the sofas fire-safe?

Yes. Every Livie 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 across every size in the range.

How long does delivery take?

Most in-stock Livie 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. It's worth measuring your doorways and hallways in advance so delivery day runs smoothly. 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 Livie 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.

Finance is provided by third parties and is subject to status and affordability checks. Missing payments may affect your credit rating.
