At Cotswold Orchard specifically, the majority of our wooden frames for our sofa, chairs, and armchairs have either been constructed with oak or beech.
Oak Cotswold furniture is used because it is known for its strength and durability and its beautiful grain pattern offering the natural tones of the Cotswold style, as well as the opportunity to withstand heavy use over time without looking worn.
Beech is also most used because it is valued for its strength, resilience, and attractive appearance to add longevity, stability, and beauty to your living room centrepieces.
- What type of sofa is the most long lasting?
To find the most long lasting sofa that offers value for money and a great investment can be challenging to find. Often it typically depends on both the construction and the quality of the materials used.

- How do I choose the right size sofa and chair for my living space?
Making sure your new sofa and chair not only complements your existing decor, but that it actually fits without looking cramped is vital.
Due to its natural colours, designs, and soft textures, our Cotswold sofas and chairs easily fit into any living space. But to ensure it fits without all other existing furniture and decorative items being cramped there are two things you must consider and do:
- Measure your space - without taking accurate measurements of the area you plan to add your Cotswold elegance in you will never know whether it will fit comfortably in your living space.
- Consider your room layout - when choosing a sofa, chair, or armchair evaluate your space to decide an option that will fit well within the space to offer ultimate relaxation as well as movement around the room.
Cotswold Orchard knows and understands how important it is for your living room centrepieces to fit comfortably into your space.

To coordinate your Cotswold sofa with your existing decor involves harmonising style, colours, and textures throughout the space. Due to Cotswold furniture using colours to reflect the Cotswold environment it almost instantly balances the colour scheme of any setting.
One way, however, to create further harmony is through layering textures and patterns. Through adding further visual interest into the space your living space can easily incorporate its new centrepiece living area as if it has always been there.
A key way to do this is through adding accessories and soft textiles to enhance the comfort and warmth to the room including sofa throws and scatter cushions, to more practical, functional, and harder materials in solid oak side tables and console tables. That way you can add accessories to create a cohesive and stylish living space to reflect your personal style yet enhance the timeless elegance of the Cotswold region.
