All About Furniture

Custom sofas

A custom sofa from All About Furniture is designed around your room and the way you live in it. We build every sofa to order: frame, foam, fabric and finish, so you choose the exact dimensions, seat depth, firmness and upholstery instead of settling for the nearest showroom size. Each frame is made from seasoned hardwood and built to be re-upholstered rather than replaced.

Typical lead time
4–6 weeks from design approval
Construction
Seasoned hardwood frame, no-sag springs, high-resilience foam
Upholstery
Your choice of fabric or leather, fixed or loose covers

Made your way

What you can customize in your sofas

  • Dimensions

    Length, depth and height built to the centimetre, including non-standard sizes for tricky walls and bay windows.

  • Seat comfort

    Choose seat depth, height and firmness; we mock up the foam combination for you to test before we build.

  • Fabric & leather

    Hundreds of upholstery options across cottons, linens, blends, performance fabrics and leathers.

  • Arms & back

    Track, rolled, slim or no arms; tight, loose or channel-stitched backs.

  • Legs & finish

    Wood species, stain and profile of legs matched to your flooring and other furniture.

  • Configuration

    Straight, L-shaped, U-shaped or modular pieces that can be rearranged later.

Materials

Materials we work with

  • Seasoned hardwood

    Kiln-dried frames that stay square and silent for decades.

  • High-resilience foam

    Layered densities that keep their shape through daily use.

  • Natural & performance fabrics

    From breathable linens to stain-resistant weaves for homes with children and pets.

Care

Vacuum upholstery weekly with a soft brush, rotate seat cushions monthly, and keep fabric out of harsh direct sunlight. Loose covers can be dry-cleaned; spot-clean fixed upholstery with a mild solution and blot rather than rub.

Case study

A sectional for a sunlit corner

Client requirement
A family of five wanted one large sofa where everyone could sprawl, but their living room had a low window sill running along two walls.
Design direction
We designed a low-back L-shaped sectional that sits just under the sill line, with a deeper chaise on the window side and washable loose covers in a warm sand weave.
Final result
The sofa runs wall to wall with 2 cm clearance, keeps the windows clear, and seats all five comfortably. The room feels bigger, not smaller.

FAQ

Sofas, answered

Which sofa fabric is most durable for daily use?

Tightly woven synthetics and blends with a high rub count wear best for daily family use, and many performance fabrics today also resist stains. Pure cotton and linen feel beautiful but show wear sooner in high-use rooms, and we help you balance feel, look and durability.

Can a sofa be made to fit an unusual corner or bay window?

Yes, that is exactly what made-to-order is for. We measure the space, design the frame around it (including curves and non-standard angles) and confirm the fit with a drawing before crafting begins.

How long does a custom furniture piece take to make?

Most pieces take four to eight weeks from design approval to delivery, depending on complexity, materials and finish. Larger wardrobes and full-room projects can take longer. We confirm a realistic timeline before any work begins.
