From choosing the right collection and size to fabrics, leathers and practical considerations, our guide will help you find furniture that suits your home and the way you live.
From classic Chesterfield character to relaxed loose covers and more contemporary designs, start with the look that feels right for your home.
Classic buttoning, rolled arms and unmistakable character rooted in traditional British furniture design.
Relaxed proportions and refined detailing for a more contemporary take on distinctive Tetrad design.
Bold shapes, expressive fabrics and playful details for furniture with real personality.
Distinctive patterns, rich textures and relaxed styling inspired by traditional Indian block printing.
Expressive pattern and rich colour bring a distinctive edge to classic Tetrad design.
Softer, more informal furniture with removable covers for a beautifully relaxed approach to everyday living.
Once you have an idea of the style you prefer, look a little closer at the individual collections. Each has its own proportions, detailing and personality — and sometimes the difference between two sofas is easier to understand when you think about how you want the room to feel.
You love the character of classic British furniture but want something that feels a little less formal and more contemporary.
You prefer softer curves, generous cushions and an elegant sofa that feels relaxed rather than overly traditional.
You want traditional detailing and craftsmanship, but with cleaner lines and proportions that work equally well in a more contemporary room.
You want something relaxed, distinctive and slightly unconventional — furniture with enough personality to become the focus of the room.
Comfort is high on your list and you like generous proportions, traditional rolled arms and a sofa designed to feel inviting.
You want a statement sofa with unmistakable Chesterfield influence, but a lower, more sculptural silhouette than a traditional design.
Sofa size is about more than overall width. Depth, arm shape, usable seating space, access into the room and the furniture around it all affect how well a piece will actually work in your home.
A larger sofa is not always the better choice. In some rooms, a smaller sofa paired with a chair or stool can create a more comfortable and flexible layout than simply choosing the biggest piece that will fit.
Mark the approximate footprint of your chosen sofa on the floor with masking tape. It gives you a much clearer sense of scale, circulation space and how the room will feel once the furniture arrives.
Check the full width from arm to arm and make sure the proportions feel right for the wall and surrounding furniture.
Deep sofas can feel wonderfully relaxed, but they also project further into the room and may need more circulation space.
Two sofas with similar overall widths can offer very different amounts of sitting space depending on the arms and cushion design.
Measure door widths, hallway turns, staircases and any restricted access between the entrance and the room.
Leave enough space for doors to open, people to move comfortably and other furniture to sit naturally around the sofa.
A sofa, chair and stool combination can sometimes give you more flexibility and a better-balanced room than one oversized sofa.
Upholstery can completely change the character of a Tetrad sofa or chair. Think about the look you want, how the room is used and how you would like the material to feel and age over time.
A huge choice of colours, textures, patterns and finishes makes fabric the most versatile way to personalise your Tetrad furniture.
Leather brings natural character to a piece of furniture and often becomes richer and more individual as it develops its own patina over time.
For a softer and more informal look, selected Tetrad collections are available with removable fabric covers.
Colours and textures can look very different on screen. If you are narrowing down your choices, we recommend seeing your preferred fabric or leather before making the final decision.
Loose cover furniture brings a softer, more informal character to a room, while giving you the flexibility of removable fabric covers.
Tetrad offers seven distinctive loose cover collections, each combining comfort, craftsmanship and a wide choice of suitable fabrics.
EXPLORE TETRAD LOOSE COVER SOFAS →Before ordering, it’s worth checking more than the dimensions of the sofa itself. Doorways, hallways, staircases, tight turns and access into the property can all affect whether a piece can be delivered safely into place.
Check the route from the entrance to the room, including door widths, hallways, staircases and any tight corners.
Sofa height and depth matter too. A piece may fit through a doorway differently depending on how it needs to be turned or positioned.
If your home has narrow entrances, difficult stairs or restricted access, speak to us before ordering so we can help you check the relevant dimensions.
Your Tetrad furniture is handled as specialist furniture, not left as a standard courier parcel. Our White Glove Delivery service is designed to make receiving your new furniture as straightforward and reassuring as possible.
