Top ten cosy couches and chairs for your sitting room

Carol O’Callaghan sorts out the sofas and armchairs that induce relaxation

Nothing cheers up winter like a bright orange colour. Snuggle up in this modular piece from Casey’s. Milano lounger sofa (€2,299), in tangerine upholstery with solid American walnut feet. Scatter cushions are in Juice Verve and Shetland Mercury fabrics.

The Chesterfield sofa design with its rounded arms and back has never gone out of fashion, even after three hundred years. Laura Ashley’s Mayfield version takes the look and upholsters it with a fashionable, crushed raspberry velvet for maximum comfort (€1,700).
