Monthly Seasonality From 10 Years of UK Orders - Sofa buying in Britain clusters around household events rather than around the calendar, and the seasonal shape of demand looks far more like the housing market than a retail cycle. In this report Furniture in Fashion sets out why the trigger for a large upholstery purchase is almost always a change in the room itself: a completion, a renovation, an opened up ground floor, or a sofa that has just failed under Christmas use. We explain the lag between property completions and furniture orders, why the New Year period behaves as a replacement market with unusually decisive buyers, how open plan layouts push households towards corner formats with finished backs, and why autumn buying is governed by lead times rather than preference. We also set out the access measurements that end more sofa purchases than taste ever does, from the 762mm standard internal doorway to staircase turns, with a practical checking table for UK homes."}
