As you can imagine, we of course hold the Chesterfield sofa in the highest of regards. We think this sofa choice is a classic and timeless piece, and could sing its praises all day! However, we will also be the first to admit that dressing your Chesterfield sofa for the spring and summer months may require a little bit of creative thinking.
One of the many really great things about a Chesterfield sofa is that they are enough of a feature in their own right, so accessories are not absolutely necessary. However, Chesterfield sofas are more often than not chosen and made with leather material choices, many of which are on the darker side – so during the warmer and brighter seasons it is nice to lighten up your furniture with some fresh room accessories. And don’t be fooled by the vintage and rather serious look of your Chesterfield, it will look absolutely beautiful with the right bright and contemporary furnishings!
However, there are ways of accessorising your Chesterfield so that the authenticity of your unique sofa is not lost, or hidden amongst layers of materials and clashing room accessories. If you want to add bright, spring coloured cushions – choose an old English style print. If you want to surround your sofa with some new lamps, choose a vintage style but in a lighter colour. Always stay true to the style of the sofa with either your theme or your colour scheme and then you can experiment with whichever one you don’t choose.
