Anyone who has ever shopped for white wall paint will understand the struggle of choosing the perfect tone. Will it make the space appear cold or is it so warm it's yellow? Does it have pink undertones or does it make the room look like a hospital? Ultimately, getting white right is no simple task. This is no different when it comes to choosing a sofa.
In 2024, we've seen a huge shift in palette preferences towards whites with warmth. Elevating a classic neutral with a new undertone gives it a homely charm. Ultimately, we're grateful that this trend is in line with our penchant for timeless styles with a contemporary twist.
The white sofas we have in our showrooms must have some sort of magnetic force because every customer that steps inside is drawn to them. However, after a few moments of gazing in awe, they say the same thing "I could never have a white sofa... kids! (or pets)."
We would be lying if we said this wasn't our favourite remark. Why? Because our white sofas are almost always upholstered in stain-resistant fabrics.
From relaxed, slubby linens to plush velvets and chenilles, Raft's buying team have made it their mission to curate a collection of beautiful pale neutrals that are virtually indestructible. We love the effortless charm of earthy, chalky whites but we don't have time for constant dry cleaning and sofa related anxiety!
