My New Sofa from the DFS So Simple Range – Ad

It was a hard enough task moving house last year from my marital home and back in to rented so anything I could do to make it easier was a blessing. At first, I was stressed that my current sofa didn’t fit into my new place but of course I was also excited at the prospect of getting myself something new. In a lot of ways I didn’t know where to begin and also having to shop on my own too did worry me. My previous sofa had been DFS and so it was the first place I headed to look online and I discovered the DFS So Simple range and was immediately sold. The whole idea behind the DFS So Simple range is simplifying the process of buying a sofa but also offering a range that is modern and affordable and that is so easy to mix and match. The other great thing about this range is that the pieces are designed to be comfy but also compact and the three seater has all the seating space you would expect but designed into a more compact footprint, perfect for my slightly smaller rental home.

Choosing anything from the DFS So Simple range is as quick as three steps:

Step one - choose your style. There are 8 modern styles all with different names and each one has a unique shape, design details and feet style. I chose the Viv as although my style is very modern, I liked the slightly traditional feel of the curved arms and piping, contrasted with the overall classic and contemporary shape. I really like the low arms and style of driftwood feet too, which I chose in black, to tie in with the black elements in my rented property.

Step two – choose your size. Each style comes in a three-seater sofa, two-seater sofa, armchair, footstool and storage footstool. I chose the three-seater sofa which fits perfectly in my living room thanks to its clever compact footprint.

Step Three – Choose your fabric. The amazing thing is that you can choose every style in every fabric. I think that one of the biggest stresses when choosing sofas is when you find a style you like, but it doesn’t come in the colour you want, or vice versa. The So Simple range doesn’t have this problem. I was able to choose my Viv three-seater sofa in one of four fabrics; Simply Wool look, Simply Linen look, Simply Velvet or Simply Leather look. Each fabric comes in a huge range of colours too, from Steel Grey, to Quartz Blush, to Peacock teal. I chose Steel Grey Wool Look as it was a nice neutral grey which would work with the cushions and accessories I already owned and it had a lovely soft feel to it.

I’ve added my favourite pink and palm cushions to my Viv three-seater sofa in Steel Grey - it looks beautiful in my living room and I’m so happy with it. There is so much inspo on the DFS Website on how other people have styled their So Simple pieces in to their homes, as well as on the #SoSimpleSofas hashtag on instagram.

If you have any questions at all about the DFS So Simple range do ask or chat to someone in store. Definitely take a look for yourself at all the styles and colour options available.

 Hope you loved having a look at a little sneak peek of my new rented place. If you want to see the tour of my bedroom watch my Bedroom Tour Video here.
