It comes in nine on-trend shades, including green, orange, teal and striking black.

Rich jewel tones and plush fabrics are key elements in home decor this year, and the sumptuous Long Beach, from the House Beautiful Collection at DFS, offers the perfect way to tap into both trends.

Shown here in deep, bold blue, this velvet-covered sofa is sheer opulence, with the elegant chaise end taking relaxation to the next level.

As well as its impressive style credentials, Long Beach is supremely comfortable too, with foam-filled seat cushions that bounce back after use (which means you never need to spend time plumping them) and a gently sloping pillow back at just the right angle for lounging.

The House Beautiful Long Beach chaise sofa comes with six free cushions (not all shown below), so just add a cosy throw or two and you'll be set for the winter months ahead. For a luxe look, add richness to your sofa by styling it with jewel tones and metallic finishes – think emerald, ruby, copper and gold for cushions and throws.

Meanwhile, the glamorous footstool doubles as a coffee table and offers secret storage for blankets or magazines.

Style tip: Hanging a large print or mirror directly above your sofa draws all eyes to it, creating an instant focal point for your room.

A House Beautiful Long Beach velvet sofa is more than just somewhere gorgeous to sit, it’s also a style investment that will pay dividends long into the future. Here’s why...

1. Every Long Beach sofa is handmade to order in the UK by skilled craftspeople, before being meticulously upholstered in opulent velvet in a choice of nine rich colours (see below), ranging from on-trend burnt orange to deepest black. Luxurious and tactile, velvet is a classic fabric that never goes out of fashion and works equally well in both modern and traditional homes.

2. There’s a Long Beach to suit every room. As well as the chaise, there are angled sofas, cuddlers, armchairs, swivel chairs, and two- and three-seater sofa options to choose from. There are also modular units in the range, so you can create a Long Beach to fit any space, making it the perfect chill-out seating solution for all sizes of family.

3. And like every sofa in our exclusive House Beautiful Collection at DFS, Long Beach velvet comes with an amazing 15-year frame and springs guarantee, so you can experience the joy of comfort year after year.

Did you know? DFS offers a five-year fabric protection plan to cover your sofa for accidental spills, stains, rips and tears – as well as damage by animals and pets! See dfs.co.uk for full details.
