How to Design a Sofa That’s Truly Yours

How to Design a Sofa That’s Truly Yours

In any home, the sofa is more than just furniture — it’s where you unwind, entertain, connect, and live. But in Dubai’s diverse interiors — from expansive villas to contemporary apartments — a mass-produced sofa often falls short in style, comfort, and proportion.

At The Design House, we believe in creating sofas that are tailored — not just to your space, but to your lifestyle. Whether you’re drawn to relaxed luxury or structured elegance, a custom-made sofa becomes the foundation of your living space.

Here’s how to create a sofa that’s truly yours — one that speaks your style, fits your home, and delivers everyday comfort without compromise.

1. Begin with Your Space

Design starts with understanding your room.
Before choosing a style or upholstery, take stock of:

  • Room size and dimensions

  • Layout and how you move through the spac

  • Architectural elements like windows, wall recesses, or open-plan living zones

At The Design House, our custom sofas are built to your measurements — not the other way around. 

2. Define Your Comfort Profile

Comfort is personal — and no two people lounge the same way.

Think about how you use your space:

  • Do you host often?

  • Do you like to stretch out solo or gather as a family?

  • Do you prefer soft sink-in cushions or supportive structure?

Choose from:

  • Lounge-style comfort: Deep, low seating that’s relaxed and invitin

  • Formal support: Firmer seat cushions, upright backs, ideal for entertaining

  • Hybrid styles: Sleek profiles with hidden plushness

In our Al Quoz showroom, you can explore these styles in person — and we’ll guide you to the perfect feel.

3. Details that Matter: Arms, Legs & Cushions

The silhouette of your sofa is defined by its details. Even subtle elements like arm shapes or leg finishes dramatically affect the aesthetic.

Popular customisation options include:

  • Arms: Clean-lined track, soft slope, traditional rolled, or armless

  • Legs: Wood, metal, hidden plinth base, or exposed for a floating look

  • Cushions: Loose or fixed, tufted or smooth

Whether you’re building a modern sofa set or something timeless and elegant, our team helps you select every detail — no guesswork involved.

4. Select Your Fabric or Leather Finish

The upholstery you choose defines not only the look but the lifestyle of your sofa.

Our curated collection includes:

  • Soft-touch fabrics: Velvet, linen, chenille, boucle

  • Durable performance options: Kid- and pet-friendly without compromising on style

  • Genuine leather & vegan leather: For a luxe, tactile feel

We invite you to feel every swatch, compare in natural light, and choose with confidence. After all, your sofa furniture deserves a finish that lasts and elevates your space.

5. Add Modular Flexibility

Your home evolves — your sofa should too.

Modular sofas are ideal for growing families, changing layouts, or dynamic hosting needs. With custom configurations, you can:

  • Build L-shaped, U-shaped, or linear sofas

  • Rearrange to match the season or occasion

  • Expand or downsize without starting over

Looking for options? Our Moda Extra Deep Sofa is a standout.

This is more than a sofa — it’s your family’s go-to spot for relaxing, reconnecting, and recharging.
