They also bring challenges for anyone buying a sofa, from narrow doorways and tight stair turns to uneven floors and rooms shaped around chimney breasts. In this guide we explain how to choose sofas that respect the age of your home while still suiting modern life. We begin with the differences between Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, interwar and cottage interiors, then look at proportion, ceiling height and the arm and back shapes that sit comfortably beside original features. We compare leather and fabric in older rooms, explain how footstools and mirrors can add flexibility and light, and set out how to measure the route into the house properly. Finally, we cover uneven floors and working around fireplaces so your new sofa feels settled from the day it arrives."}
