Get the most from your swatches
Once your swatches arrive it’s time to see how they work in your home. A colour you loved on screen can take on a different character beside your walls, flooring and furnishings, while the texture becomes much easier to appreciate when you can feel it for yourself.
Lay out your favourites where your sofa will sit and revisit them throughout the day, from natural daylight to the softer glow of your evening lamps.
The tips below will help you compare your samples and narrow down your shortlist.
For more advice, explore our sofa swatch guide, or take a look at our guides to choosing a fabric sofa and choosing a leather sofa to understand the materials, finishes and care needs before making your choice.
Find its place in your room
Place your swatches where your sofa will sit, beside your flooring, walls, curtains and cushions. Compare each shade with the furnishings you’re keeping to see which colours bring the room together.
See it in a different light
Look at your samples in the morning, afternoon and under your evening lamps. Colours can appear warmer, cooler, lighter or darker as the light changes, so give your favourites a little time in each setting.
Feel the texture and finish
Run your hand across each sample to explore its softness, weave or leather grain. Turn it in the light and notice how the finish changes - even similar colours can create a very different look and feel.
Narrow down your favourites
Start with 3-4 swatches and set aside those that don’t feel right. Compare your shortlist together and individually, keeping each sample with its collection and colour details so it’s easy to find again.

The right sofa brings together the style you love, the comfort you look forward to and a finish that feels at home in your space.
