A sofa is often the anchor of a living space, shaping how a room feels and functions day to day. At Living By Design, our designer sofas in Australia are curated to balance thoughtful details with comfort, proportion and longevity, offering pieces that sit naturally within both contemporary and timeless interiors.
Our modern sofa range includes a variety of silhouettes and layouts designed to suit different spaces, uses and lifestyles, including:
- Curved sofas for softer, more organic room layouts
- Chaise lounge chairs that support relaxed, extended seating
- Daybeds for flexible living and informal spaces
- Large sofas suited to open-plan and family living
- Modular sofas that adapt to changing layouts
- Small sofas designed for compact rooms
- Sofa beds for multi-purpose living spaces
- 3-seater and 4-seater sofas for structured, balanced interiors
Design considerations
Material selection and construction are central to each design. Upholstery options are chosen for durability and everyday comfort, while proportions are carefully considered to ensure visual balance within a room. Modular sofas allow for reconfiguration over time, supporting evolving needs, while more defined forms create a grounded, considered presence.
Styling a modern sofa is as much about scale as it is about placement. Low-profile designs help maintain openness, while deeper seats encourage relaxed living. Neutral tones allow form and materiality to lead, with texture introduced through cushions, rugs and surrounding furniture.
Explore the sofa collection to find pieces that support how you live now while remaining adaptable for the years ahead.
Sofa Materials and Upholstery
The collection includes fabric sofas in a wide mix of textures and finishes, from linen and linen-rich blends to tightly woven cotton-polyester fabrics, boucle, textured velour and velvet. Leather is also available across selected designs, including the Piloti and Coburg ranges, for a finish that develops its own character over time.
Construction varies by design, but many of our sofas feature hardwood or Canadian Oak frames with supportive polyfoam, dense foam or polydown cushioning. High-rub-factor upholstery is also used across several ranges, including Purbeck, Faro and Carson, to help fabrics stand up to regular use.
Caring for Your Sofa
The best way to care for your sofa depends on its upholstery, construction and finish, so it is always worth checking the product-specific instructions first. For upholstered pieces, Living by Design recommends occasionally vacuuming with a soft upholstery attachment, treating spills straight away and blotting rather than rubbing. Keeping fabric upholstery away from prolonged direct sunlight and heat can also help minimise fading. Slipcovers on ranges such as Sevilla and Legato can be removed for professional cleaning, while other upholstery and leather finishes have their own requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
The range includes curved sofas, modular sofas, chaise lounge chairs, daybeds, sofa beds and 3-seater and 4-seater sofas.
Consider room size, layout, seating needs and how flexible the space needs to be.
Yes, many designs are offered in multiple sizes and modular configurations.
Yes, the collection includes both small sofas and large sofas.
Some designs offer configuration and upholstery options, depending on the range.
Check the sofa’s full width, depth and height against the narrowest doorway, hallway, stairwell or lift it needs to pass through. It also helps to measure on an angle, as some sofas can be manoeuvred through tighter access points when tilted or rotated.
A seat depth of around 50–60 cm generally suits upright everyday sitting, while deeper seats of 60 cm or more are better for stretching out and lounging. For firmness, medium to firm cushioning usually gives a good balance of comfort and support while helping the sofa retain its shape with regular use.
Look for upholstery that can handle frequent use and is easier to maintain, along with a sturdy frame and supportive cushioning. Mid-tone or textured fabrics can also be more forgiving when it comes to everyday marks, pet hair and small spills.
Look at the frame construction, upholstery quality and cushion density rather than appearance alone. Hardwood frames, high-rub-factor fabrics and dense foam cushioning can all contribute to better durability with regular use.
