27 Luxury Couches That Deserve to Be Your Centerpiece

If you want the look without huge price tag, Article's Olalla is one of the best looking sofas under $2,000 we've seen. The cane rattan frame feels a bit mid century, and adds a natural touch to your space. The linen blend fabric is inconspicuous and easy to clean. All-and-all, it's an incredible sofa for the price.

Italy's post-war design boom is a huge part of what made the Mediterranean nation a cultural powerhouse. Fiat, Vespa, Ferrari, most big Italian brands came about around this time. In the interior design world, Mario Bellini was pushing the world forward, and this sofa—how about we call it "The Ferrari of Interior Design."

Dumb associations aside, it's one of the most popular designer sofas of all time. But, the modular design and plethora of materials means anyone can find a combo to fit their home, apartment, or office space.

But if the Bellini sofa is a bit much for you, Gianfranco Frattini's design from around the same time was a bit more subdued. The original look of Milan's St. Andrews restaurant featured a lot more leather, but CB2 has dressed the sofa up in green velvet for something a bit more eye-catching.

Maiden Home's Warren couch is made with a simple shape and back-to-seat proportions optimized for lounging. You can keep the shape of the couch but pick out the perfect fabric for you. (We're drooling over this dark brown Tuscan leather.) Plus, the brand is committed to sustainability with its ethically sourced materials, and it's only made-to-order, so they don't have an excess of wasted stock.

Reclining sofa... A luxury reclining sofa? Believe it asshole! West Elm makes a sofa that's sleek enough for a entertaining guests in a penthouse. But when they're gone, push the feet out, and it's casual and comfortable like a camo sofa from Bass Pro Shops—best of both worlds! That's true luxury.

As for something that's easy to fit into your current home design, nothing is as easily accommodated as The Citizenry's Helm sofa. It comes in a suite of easy-to-clean and neutral colored fabrics. The walnut wood base features prominently, but it's not challenging to look at, and it won't stand out in any sort of room—classic, beachy, modern, you get it.

If you love a linen sofa, nobody does it better than Jenni Kayne. Get it in a beachy natural linen, or go more modern with a mustard yellow or greyish green.

The Harbor Sofa comes with a linen-nylon blend slipcover in a few different colors. It's reasonably easy to spot clean, but the beauty of a slip cover is that you can pull it off and have it cleaned professionally.

An Esquire Home Awards winner, Burrow's union sectional is everything an investment couch should be. It's easy to lounge on, easy to sleep on, and just easy to live on.

With a built in side table, nothing is going to match the functionality of this sofa from Rove Concepts. But if you have the space, we'd really recommend the sectional version.

Floyd's look and feel is investment-piece worthy, but it doesn't look or feel like it should belong in some stuffy estate's living room. It's designed to be played with and is even durable enough for kids to jump on. Keep it as a two-seater or expand it to three, turn it into a chaise sectional, it's all up to you. It's big and comfy—a couch you want to sleep on, a couch you'll want to keep forever.

Sometimes, a space calls for a one-sided sofa. This is "no, actually it's not a chaise" territory—a tricky proposition. It can be tough to find good, consistent options, but we love Benchmade's Crowd Pleaser shape. Simple, comfortable, and available in a suite of swatches, it's an incredibly easy option.

The shitty thing about buying new sofas on the internet is that the look can get a bit homogenous. Clean, sharp lines and minimal detail—prefab luxury. Now listen... We're not saying this Lulu and Georgia sofa is a huge deviation from that, but the carved legs give it an antique feel that no other sofa on this list has. The shape is simple and modern, but the legs give it just enough interest.

I mean look at it. The deep seat, the plush back, the top grain leather—it all screams comfort. Of the two colors, we prefer the look of this caramel to that of the taupe, but either will get a beautiful patina as it ages.

A leather couch looks inviting, classic-looking, and perfect for a lazy day in. This one will look especially inviting with fun throw pillows and cool blankets. Oh! And it's a limited release. So if you like it, you better buy now.

Sundays is known for a laid-back personality which works well for similarly themed rooms. Its Movie Night sofa has a plush cloud-like feel similar to the $10k-costing, celebrity-favorite cloud couch by Restoration Hardware. Thus, it belongs somewhere in a famous star's house, or the house that you pretend is owned by a famous star—you.

APT2B's vibe is streamlined, warm, and often leans toward less-is-more. Its sleeper sofa is exactly all three. It has clean lines, comes with breathable fabrics and supportive cushions, and features quite a few color options. Then, it opens up into a little bed your guests won't mind sleeping on.

Albany Park's sofas are a solid initial step into higher-end sofas. A futon update, for example. The Park Sofa is big, comfy, and mid-century simple, which means it can keep working for the room even if the style around it changes. The charcoal colorway is a little safe and subtle, but there are also daring colors like olive and mustard for something more out there.

Design Within Reach—not the price—has been all over the place for those into decor trends. The brand sources great pieces from designers and streamlines them online, like this Outline couch whose upholstery-to-leg proportion might seem kind of off, but that's exactly how it manages to look so good.

When in doubt, go to Pottery Barn. It makes high-quality stuff with a timeless aesthetic. A deep brown leather couch is the pinnacle of fancy seating. The shorter size on this silhouette works in small spaces.

For a sofa to look and feel luxurious, velvet is the fabric to go for. And Sabai Design makes its super-soft velvety Essential Sofa that you could use in every room. It's also designed wide arms and removable back cushions. Plus, Sabai uses recycled and upcylced materials so you can live in luxury without the guilt.
