4 Seater Sofas: Page 2

The 4 seater sofa is the ideal choice for making a statement, hosting guests or filling up a larger than average living room.

4 seater sofas may come in traditional, scatterback, modern and classic styles and can be purchased in a range of fabrics and leathers including plain and patterned fabrics and velvets, and top grain, aniline and semi-aniline leathers.  Some options come in a combination of fabric and leather.

Why should you choose a 4 seater sofa?

There are plenty of good reasons to choose a 4 seater sofa.

First, there’s the obvious benefit – more seating for family and friends!  This offers more space for bigger families and allows you to entertain more guests comfortably.  Plus it’s a good alternative to a corner sofa.

A 4 seater is also worth considering if you want to add seating to a very large room, such as a big living room or an orangery.  The average 3 seater can be dwarfed by a room with expansive dimensions, whereas a four seater is more likely to suit the proportions of the room.

It’s also a good choice for making an impression.  A boldly coloured or big patterned contemporary sofa or an imposing traditional sofa dominates the room with its dimensions, colour and style.

What are the different styles of 4 seater sofa?

4 seater sofas are available in a wide selection of styles and with many different options, allowing them to meet a whole host of requirements.

Traditional 4 seater sofa

Traditional style sofas ooze authenticity thanks to their classic features.  For scroll arms, aniline leathers, button backs and turned legs, look no further.  Traditional sofas offer an unrivalled aesthetic of sophistication.

Scatter back 4 seater sofa

A 4 seater scatter back sofa has a tactile feel and a colourful appearance, often including a variety of cushion fabrics in contrasting textures and hues.  It’s also highly comfortable, though it requires a little bit of plumping to keep it looking and feeling its best.  Scatter backs can be fun, glamorous and/or a great twist on a more traditional design.

Contemporary 4 seater sofa

Contemporary style sofas may use straight arms, lower backs and a square shape to appear more compact.  This straight shape limits the space the sofa takes up in the room while maximising the seat space available.

Most at home in modern surroundings, a contemporary 4 seater sofa looks great paired with a marble or wood veneer coffee or lamp table.  Sharp, sleek monochrome colours – black, white and grey – are common choices because they are brilliantly suited to such surroundings.

Examples of this style include the Natuzzi Editions sofas, some of which are available as recliners.

Classic 4 seater sofa

Classic styles showcase gorgeous retro style features.  Rounded backs, velvets and tapered gold legs are current, adding plenty of vintage glamour to your lounge.  Intricate classic style details such as button backs and hand studding are also common finds among this selection.
