5 Staff Picks: Our Team’s Current Favourite Pieces and How to Style Them

From statement beds to extendable dining tables and modular sofas that adapt to your space, Swyft’s furniture is designed to be durable, easy to assemble, and effortlessly stylish.
Who better to give you the lowdown on some of Swyft’s timeless pieces than the people who know them inside out? We sat down with five members of the Swyft team and asked them to share their current favourite products.
1. Model 03 Modular Sofa
"My Model 03 Sofa is the perfect blend of style and practicality. Its structured design ensures it keeps its shape. The wipe-clean fabric is a lifesaver, making it easy to maintain even with kids and dogs in the house. Despite its durability, it doesn’t compromise on style, effortlessly blending into my home with its modern and sleek look."
— Kelly Collins, Global Head of Brand Partnerships & Communications
How to style it:
The Model 03 Modular Sofa has a low profile and sleek silhouette, making it ideal for modern, minimalist spaces. Keep things simple by styling with one or two decorative wool throws and a handful of scatter cushions. The optimal number of cushions depends on the size of your sofa and your personal preference.
As a general guide, two or three cushions work well on a two-seater sofa, three to five cushions on a three-seater sofa, and you could use more on four-seater, corner, or U-shaped configurations. Less is generally more – try not to crowd your sofa with so many cushions that there’s no room left to sit comfortably. Create visual interest by using a variety of sizes and shapes of cushions, such as a 50x50cm, a 45x45cm, and a lumbar cushion, and group them asymmetrically. For example, two cushions on one side of the sofa and one on the other.
2. Storage Ottoman 03 in Mustard
"We chose the round storage ottoman for our garden office. The product feels comfy to sit on and has a good amount of storage space inside. Being able to use it as a seat if needed is also an added benefit to maximise our small space. The mustard colour works well as a contrast to our relatively neutral palette in the room. I would recommend this product to others and don't be afraid to pick a statement colour."
— Richard Gayton, CTO
How to style it:
The compact Storage Ottoman 03 in Mustard Velvet is an easy way to add a pop of colour to your space. This mustard space saver is perfect for introducing some colour to an otherwise neutral-toned room, complementing a serene blue colour scheme, or pairing with deep jewel-toned greens for a high-end maximalist look.
3. Bed 02 in Vine
"It looks incredible – the kind of stylish, all-encompassing design with an oversized headboard that would’ve cost thousands not too long ago. But what really sets it apart for me is the experience of building it. I’ve put together plenty of beds over the years, and this one is a dream. No endless fiddling with nuts and bolts, no second-guessing the stability – just a solid, well-designed piece that comes together beautifully. Honestly, it’s rare to find a bed that looks this good and is this easy to put together. Total game changer."
— Ben White, Commercial Director
How to style it:
Make the mid-century style Bed 02 in Vine Velvet the focal point in your bedroom. Embrace 2025’s Biophilic design trend by pairing the green upholstered bed frame with bedding in warm neutral tones and natural materials, like linen and cotton. Finish with a couple of decorative cushions and Swyft’s Woollen Chevron Throw in Light Sage or Oatmeal for a layered, tonal look that’s elegant and grounded.
Choose bedside tables that balance the scale of the bed frame (not too big or too small) and find a bedside lamp that suits your decor style.
4. Dining Table 01 in Oak
"I love Dining Table 01! Its sleek oak design and soft curves make it a stunning centrepiece. The extendable top is perfect for family meals and hosting extra guests. Easy to clean, super sturdy, and a breeze to assemble. It’s stylish, practical, and elevates any dining space."
— Leah Honeyborne, Head of Buying
How to style it:
The Dining Table 01 goes beautifully with Swyft’s range of dining chairs, which feature comfortable upholstered seats in a range of fabrics. For a more relaxed look, pair it with the Dining Bench 01, which was designed to mirror the style of Dining Table 01, and neatly tucks away when not in use.
Show off the table’s natural oak grain by styling it with placemats, napkins, and tableware in warm neutrals or muted pastels. If you're throwing a dinner party or want to experiment with different decor, try tablescaping to create a seasonal centrepiece or play with patterned, colourful table linens for fun summer styling.
Tie your dining area together with a large rug underneath your dining table and chairs. Pick a size that's big enough for your chairs to stay on the surface without falling off, and go for a flat weave design for easy chair movement. We particularly like the Grove Rug in Brown Jute for a pared-back, rustic look, or the Olsen Rug in Wool for off-white tonal texture that oozes Scandi cool.
5. Console Table 01 in Oak
"A mid-century statement that elevates any space, it's a sleek and stylish design with added storage – it's a win-win."
— Lydia Eyles, Trade Sales Account Manager
How to style it:
Style the versatile Console Table 01 with a few curated pieces of decor, such as a lamp, candle, plant or vase with fresh flowers, and a piece of artwork either propped on top or hung above. On the lower shelf, add a stack of books or use a couple of small woven baskets if you need more storage.
