Busy home? Meet the smart fabrics perfect for everyday living

Accidental spills, sticky fingers and muddy paws can occur often in homes, but this doesn’t mean your sofa has to suffer. Our range of Smart Linens and Smart Velvets have been designed to keep your furniture looking lovely for longer and here is what you need to know about the beautiful ranges.

Smart Linens

New for Spring/ Summer’18 our range of Smart Linens are perfect for homes which often become a hub of fun, social activity! Whether it’s play dates for your little ones, coffee catch ups over lunch or you’re enjoying a glass of wine in the evening, the range of neutral fabrics feature a special coating that gives you a precious few extra moments to blot away any accidental spills or stains. 

Made from 100% linen, our Smart Linens are available in six versatile colourways – choose blue tones with Cyan, Delphium and Azores,  create a neutral seating area with Oat and Sterling or opt for the adaptable and stylish Mercury. These colourways have been chosen to look great on all of our designs and can be easily styled and incorporated into any style of home, here is our popular Bluebell two seat sofa showcasing the stunning shades.

Smart Velvets

If you thought velvet sofas were only for showrooms or to simply look luxurious in your home but not necessarily sat upon, think again! Our range of Smart Velvets features a beautiful short pile which has a special coating, preventing accidental spills or stains from soaking into the fabric too quickly. As with the Smart Linen, this extra time gives you an opportunity to blot away the spillage (with a dry cloth) preserving the beauty of your sofa.  Made from 75% cotton, they feel incredibly soft to touch and will add a luxurious touch to your home –  whether in your living room, bedroom or even on a striking accent chair in the hallway.
