Where to buy stylish, affordable sofa?

[OneWarmHazelQuail]

I spent £2k on a light grey sofa 3 years ago and it has got absolutely destroyed despite having scotch guard on it. We have just moved house and I'd like to buy a new much cheaper sofa (something that hopefully doesn't stain when you spill water on it!).

Advice on where to buy and any suggestions on material, colour or style would be much appreciated. Walls are currently Magnolia....I know, all my family have said that my choice is very 2000s but the house is quite dark and depressing Magnolia made it feel more sunny!

How did it get destroyed? I bought two light grey sofas in 2017 from DFS of all places and they're still going strong and we have cats and an ADHD 7 year old who thinks they're a trampoline! I used to get them steam cleaned annually but then I just bought a shark upholstery cleaner and do it myself, also great for spills etc.

I would look at IKEA and get one with washable covers.

My lovely new sofa is from Sofology,

Isn't Sofology very pricey? I'm hoping for a 3 seater for under £800! I probably should have put that in my original post

Sofology charge a fortune and their quality is no better than IKEA. In fact I’d say it’s worse for twice the price.

Came here to suggest this! Our current sofas is an Ikea one. The first cover (white!) lasted about 4 years before it started looking a bit grubby. The sofa itself was still in great shape though, so we just replaced the cover (with another white one 😬) for about £250 - much cheaper than a new sofa!

Dfs?
