Delcor Sofa FAQs

Start with room measurements, seating needs, and lifestyle. Select frame size and depth for comfort, then choose fabrics for durability and feel. We handcraft to your exact dimensions and style. Discover bespoke

Compact two-seaters or slim-arm designs maximise seating without crowding. Shallower seat depths and raised legs keep the space feeling open. Corner units work if they don’t block routes. Size guide

Slim, straight arms and taller legs reduce visual bulk. Pair with a low back for an elegant, airy silhouette that suits modern, smaller rooms. Style options

Measure width, depth, and height of the target area, plus doorways, hallways, and stair turns. Mark the footprint with tape and leave walking clearance. We can advise on access solutions. Measuring checklist

We can discuss options like removable feet/cushions or split frames depending on the model. Share photos and key measurements so our team can recommend the best approach. Access help

Yes. If you’re unsure, we’ll review access with you before production. That avoids surprises and ensures a seamless delivery on the day. Request access check

Performance velvets, microfibres, and tightly woven cotton/linen blends resist wear and clean easily. Leather ages beautifully. Removable, washable covers add practicality for busy households. Family fabrics

Performance velvet is engineered for stain resistance and durability while keeping a soft hand. Traditional velvet has a rich sheen but needs gentler care. Choose by usage and maintenance preference. Velvet comparison

Vacuum weekly with a soft brush, rotate cushions, and spot clean promptly per the care label. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources. Use professional upholstery cleaning when needed. Care guide

Look for high abrasion ratings, tight weaves, performance finishes and cleanability. Protected leathers and microfibres excel in busy homes. Durability guide

Feather/down feels plush but needs regular plumping. Foam is supportive and low-maintenance. Fibre offers a relaxed sit. Many choose a foam core wrapped in feather or fibre for comfort with structure. Filling options

Typical seat depths are 52–60 cm. Shorter users may prefer shallower seats; taller users enjoy deeper lounges. Add lumbar cushions to fine-tune posture. We customise depths to you. Try in showroom

Seat depth drives comfort (52–60 cm suits most). Test sit and add lumbar cushions to fine-tune support.

Arms change footprint: slim/track arms save space; rolled arms add classic comfort. Higher legs ease cleaning.

Fillings: feather = plush, foam = supportive/low-maintenance, fibre = relaxed. Many choose foam core with feather/fibre wrap.

Modular/sectional frames aid access in tight stairwells and allow future room reconfiguration.

Scale the sofa to wall length and rug. Fewer, larger pieces usually feel calmer than many small items.

Choose a neutral base and refresh seasonally with cushions/throws to extend style life.

Some styles offer removable covers—great for deep cleaning and periodic refreshes. Check care labels.

Kiln-dried hardwood frames and proper joinery resist racking and last for decades.

Vacuum weekly with a soft brush, rotate cushions, and blot spills immediately—don’t rub. Follow the care code.

Reduce sun fade with blinds/UV sheers and keep fabrics away from direct heat sources.

Pile fabrics (velvet/chenille) benefit from gentle brushing to lift nap and even pressure marks.

Performance finishes boost stain resistance; always patch-test cleaners first.

Pet-friendly picks: tight-weave microfibres and protected leathers resist snags and wipe clean.

Professional upholstery cleaning every 12–24 months revives fibres and hygiene.

Rotate seat/back cushions to distribute wear and preserve shape.

Check abrasion ratings (Martindale). Higher numbers suit heavy-use rooms.

Plan circulation first; leave clear walkways. Tape out the layout before ordering.

Anchor seating with a proportional rug—front legs on the rug usually looks cohesive.

Layer lighting: ceiling wash + two lamps + accent; add dimmers for flexibility.

Mirrors opposite windows amplify daylight and depth; keep frames slim.

Fewer, larger accessories beat lots of small ones. Repeat finishes for cohesion.

Small rooms: slim arms, raised legs, light palettes and vertical storage feel open.

Reading corners need task light and a side table; social zones prefer ambient layers.

Choose one “hero” piece—sofa, pendant or artwork—and let other elements support it.

Lead time is confirmed at order and during production. We’ll update you and book a delivery window.

We protect floors, assemble on site if required, position to plan and remove packaging.

Taller sitters usually prefer 58–62 cm seat depth so thighs are supported. Add lumbar cushions to fine-tune back support. Try in showroom

Most people like 44–48 cm. Choose lower for loungey comfort, higher for easier rise from the seat. Seat height guide

High backs support shoulders and feel formal; low backs feel relaxed and keep sightlines open. Try both in-store. Back profiles

Fixed looks tailored and needs less plumping; cushion backs are plush and adjustable. Maintenance vs. feel is the choice. Back styles

Track arms suit modern spaces; slim scrolls or English roll arms are classic. Slimmer arms save width. Arm shapes

We can discuss manual/power features on selected models; comfort and access need assessing first. Mechanism options

Yes — armchairs, love seats and ottomans can be coordinated in your chosen fabric or leather. Coordinating pieces

Heavy linen blends are beautiful and durable; pure linen creases more and needs gentler care. Blends balance look and practicality. Linen guide

Performance velvet or short-pile microfibre resists snagging and marks better than long-pile velvets. Pet-friendly fabrics

Protected leathers wear in and clean easily; quality fabrics with high abrasion ratings also last decades with care. Leather vs fabric
