The Carlton designer sofa is a classic that takes us back to a time where simple, clean lines became exclusive and elegant. A thin seating frame give the sofa a light and delicate look while extra soft cushions add a casual, loose contrast to the refined design.

Try mixing fabric and leather for a very stylish, contemporary look. The trick is to choose one material for the outside of the sofa and another material for the seating cushions.

A tuffet, pouffe, or hassock is a piece of furniture used as a footstool or low seat. It is distinguished from a stool in that it is completely covered in cloth so that no legs are visible, and is essentially a large hard cushion that may have an internal wooden frame to give it more rigidity.Wooden feet may be added to the base to give it stability, at which point it becomes a stool or a footstool.

If the piece is larger, with storage space inside it, then it is generally known as an ottoman.

Daybeds. A daybed is a single twin mattress that sits in a frame to give it the look of a sofa.

Since the frame lacks the cushioning of a standard sofa, this style is best for a room that's not going to be used regularly for entertaining.
