Inspiring interiors: 12 ways design experts styled our sofas

Versatility, quality and great design are all important focuses when choosing furniture for your own home. It’s these qualities that interior experts look for when designing bespoke homes for clients - along with their lifestyle needs and decor preferences. In this blog, we’re taking a look at how some of our clients have used Swyft furniture to put together inspiring, considered spaces

Lydia Allen Design Studio

“This interiors project was based in a beach residence in Falmouth, Cornwall. By layering natural materials, textures and colours, our beachfront apartment exudes that subtle coastal feel and laidback atmosphere.” - Lydia Allen.

Ancara Rotaru Design Studio

“We named this the ‘Deep Blue’ project: a spacious living room featuring a striking, dark navy blue accent wall. Our objective was to meet the storage needs of a busy, active family with two children, while also creating a space that catered to both relaxation for the parents and playfulness for the children. To tackle this challenge, we implemented customised joinery and incorporated Crittall doors, effectively creating intimate areas and providing a sense of separation between different sections of the home.” - Ankara Rotaru.

Vibe Design

“We partnered with Swyft to furnish the living room of this 6-bed detached property in Ascot, ready for the tenant to move in. We stepped in and furnished the entire house which included a list of good quality and modular furniture so the client can take everything with them when they are ready to move in the near future.” - Zoey Zhou.

Sofa: Model 06 3-seater in Fog

House Designer

“We were commissioned to design an apartment in Central London with the client prioritising a luxury, sleek, and fresh interior without breaking the bank. Our full service included design, procurement and installation. We carefully selected high-quality furniture pieces for the apartment design, from sofa to floor rug, lighting, chair, table, wall painting, and others. The blue sofa offers extra comfort and style to the apartment.” - Samantha-Jane Agbontaen.

Lucy Madeleine Design

“The brief for this new build house in Beckenham South London was masculine, dark colours and the client wanted to achieve a contemporary hotel-like look. We partnered with Swyft to furnish the house with a Model 03 modular sofa.” - Lucy Madeleine.

Muchmore Design

“We designed this contemporary, two-bedroom show apartment with generous views overlooking the River Thames with a colourful scheme blending contemporary, eclectic and heritage styles with nods to soft Scandi design. The location just by the river gave the apartments a sense of exclusivity and luxury and we set out to reflect this in the interior design.” - Muchmore Design. Images: @snookphotographs. 

Sofa: Model 02 3-seater in Brick

Nykke Jones Interiors

“As an Airbnb home we needed to ensure great quality seating with fabric that would be easy to clean and take care of. We loved the colours available and styled this space with a 3-seater and loveseat in linen and a retro-style armchair in velvet.” - Nykke Jones.

SVR Lifestyle

“This project was a start-to-finish renovation of a stylish fourth-floor apartment in central Putney. The aim was to harness the west-facing light to achieve space and serenity in the heart of a popular London suburb. My client wanted a minimalist, contemporary style. I chose to furnish this space with a linen sofa. Its Pumice fabric is the ideal blend of grey and beige, resulting in a neutral colour that changes slightly as the light shifts throughout the day.” - Stefania Vazzana Rendel.

Sofa: Model 01 3-seater in Pumice

Ceril Campbell Interiors

“This is a small Fulham home with a first-floor sitting room.  The access up the stairs was quite narrow with a low ceiling at the point where the staircase turned.  The solution was the brilliant concept of Swyft sofas which were easy to assemble and also affordable.  The colour of the blue velvet sofas was chosen to pick up the colours of the vintage Persian rug and the styling to work with the retro feel of the vintage furniture.” - Ceril Campbell.

Hone Studio

“HONE worked with Swyft on this complete refurbishment of an existing 3 bedroom flat. Bespoke built-in joinery throughout helped to maximise the sense of space while also providing a high-quality finish, and glazed screens helped to divide spaces but still allow light to flow through the space. HONE selected the Model 01 from Swyft for its classic contemporary style, while also having a light and airy feel which was perfect for the style of the flat.” - Phillip Schöne.

White Circle

“We created a cosy, statement cinema room for this residential block in Salford, supplying and installing everything from the bespoke, top-quality audiovisual equipment, to the bespoke joinery and feature acoustic wall panels. The furniture, including the specially made side tables and wide, comfortable seating makes the space homely and unique.” - Roxy Hitchen.

Sofas: Model 03 in Teal

Studio Smiths

“The living area in this project was encased by 180°windows with panoramic views over central London, flooding it with natural light. This meant the room needed pieces that added contrast and grounded the soft finishes throughout. Our client often entertains, so their requirement for a large and flexible seating area meant this Model 03 sofa was perfectly suited to the large living area and means additional modules can always be added as required.” - Marianne Roe.
