The Sofa Edit: What Comfort Looks Like in 2025

From sculptural curves to deep-seated modular designs, discover the shapes, materials, and sizes redefining comfort for every kind of home.

Sofas have always been the heart of the home—but in 2025, they’re doing even more. Today’s sofas aren’t just about how they look or feel—they’re about how they live. At THE One, our latest sofa edit brings together form, flexibility, and feeling in every design. From low-slung loungers to sculptural 1-seaters and adaptable sofas with chaise, discover what comfort really looks like this season—whether you’re furnishing a tucked-away corner or a spacious open-plan layout.

1. The rise of the low lounge

Sofas that sit closer to the ground are firmly on trend—and it’s easy to see why. These low-lounge styles bring a relaxed, lived-in feel that’s perfectly suited to laid-back living. With broad arms and deep seats, they strike an inviting balance between informality and refinement. Pair them with a statement rug and a sculptural side table to create a grounding focal point in your living space.

2. The sculptural 1-seater

Single-seat sofas are no longer just an afterthought—they’ve become centrepieces in their own right. A sculptural 1-seater adds form and personality through bold curves or clean architectural lines, giving shape to compact corners or reading nooks. Whether you keep it tonal for a seamless look or introduce contrast for visual interest, a 1-seater brings identity and charm wherever it sits.

3. The adaptable chaise

Sofas with chaise are endlessly versatile—more than you might imagine. They offer that relaxed, lounge-like comfort without overwhelming a room. In modular configurations or as standalone pieces, a chaise naturally invites you to unwind. With both left- and right-facing options available, it’s easy to find the perfect fit for your layout and lifestyle.

4. Modular moves

When flexibility meets form, modular designs come into their own. These contemporary “sofascapes” evolve with you—shifting effortlessly from quiet nights in to lively get-togethers. Whether you prefer a 2-seater for smaller spaces or a 3-seater as the centrepiece of a larger arrangement, modular options adapt to your needs. Add ottomans or connectors to expand your layout and create a configuration that’s uniquely yours.

Materials that matter

The fabric is just as important as the form when it comes to defining both comfort and atmosphere. Textures tell a story—one that’s felt as much as it’s seen.

• Bouclé brings a soft, tactile richness that invites you to sink in.
• Velvet adds depth and a touch of drama, perfect for creating a cosy yet elevated setting.
• Linen offers cool, breathable comfort with timeless appeal and understated sophistication.

Together, these materials transform every sofa into more than just a seat—they create an experience that feels charming, inviting, and distinctly yours.

What size is right for you?

After finding your preferred style and material, the next step is choosing the right size to suit your space—and the way you live. Each configuration offers a different kind of comfort and experience:

• 1-seater sofas are perfect for tucked-away corners or styled solo spots, bringing charm and focus to smaller areas.
• 2- and 3-seater sofas are ideal for couples, compact homes, or layered arrangements with accent chairs and pouffes.
• 4-seater sofas work beautifully for families or open-plan living, offering generous comfort without compromising on style.

The right size complements both your layout and your lifestyle, helping you create a space that feels balanced and inviting.

Your questions, answered

Need a little help narrowing down your options? Here are a few common sofa styling questions—answered, THE One way.

Q: I’m in a two-bedroom flat in Dubai—what should I choose?
A: A 3-seater sofa paired with a sculptural 1-seater armchair creates a living room that feels layered and inviting. Add a chaise element if you’d like an informal lounging corner that still looks refined.

Q: I have a cosy home office and want a private nook.
A: A charming 1-seater in bouclé or velvet, tucked into a bright corner, makes for a stylish retreat. Complete the look with a small side table and a soft throw for an extra touch of comfort.

Q: My living room is open-plan—how can I define the space?
A: Opt for a modular or L-shaped sofa with a chaise. It visually anchors your layout and creates a natural flow between seating and dining areas without the need for partitions.

Q: I love hosting guests. What’s the best seating setup?
A: Combine a spacious 3- or 4-seater with a pair of accent chairs to encourage conversation and flexibility. Add an ottoman or pouffe for extra seating or to double as a coffee table.
