Transforming a Home Interior with Bespoke Comfort & Contemporary Styling
Innchair Solutions has long been recognised for delivering high-quality, custom furniture solutions for restaurants, cafés, boutique hotels, and commercial spaces across the UK. But increasingly, residential clients are turning to us for the same level of craftsmanship, precision, design expertise, and long-lasting quality within their homes.
This case study explores one such project: a residential seating installation where Innchair Solutions was commissioned to design and craft a combination of a low modular U-shaped sectional sofa, a velvet high-back corner banquette, and a velvet club armchair—all tailored to suit the client’s home aesthetic, lifestyle needs, and comfort expectations.
Our involvement began from the very first site observations and carried through to the final installation, ensuring a seamless experience and a furniture set that truly elevated the feel of the home.
1. Analysis
Before any sketches were drafted or materials selected, our team carried out a detailed site analysis to fully understand the space, flow, lighting, and functional requirements of the home.
1.1 Understanding the Layout
The primary spaces in question were:
- A living room requiring a comfortable, sociable centrepiece
- A corner area where the client wanted a built-in style banquette
- A reading/lounge zone ideal for a statement armchair
The home’s layout featured open-plan transitions between zones, meaning each furniture piece had to be visually cohesive yet distinct in purpose.
1.2 Lighting & Atmosphere
Natural light entered from two directions, influencing fabric tone, depth, and texture. We assessed how velvet—known for its soft reflective qualities—would perform under daytime brightness versus evening warmth.
1.3 Lifestyle & Usage Patterns
The client described their lifestyle as a mix of:
- hosting friends and family
- spending relaxed evenings watching films
- enjoying quiet reading sessions
- creating cosy, inviting zones without losing a premium feel
This meant comfort, durability, and intuitive space-planning were key priorities.
1.4 Structural Constraints
We measured:
- wall lengths
- corner angles
- seating depth allowances
- circulation pathways
- positioning of electrical points, windows, and radiators
A U-shaped sofa requires accuracy in every millimetre, so this stage was crucial.
1.5 Aesthetic Preferences
Through discussions and visual references, we identified the client’s preferred interior style:
- Modern, warm, and inviting
- Subtle luxury without being overly formal
- High-quality materials
- Clean lines and gentle curves
- Muted, deep fabric tones
Velvet, in particular, matched their vision perfectly.
2. Client Requirements
After the analysis, we distilled the client’s needs into a clear set of requirements for each furniture piece.
2.1 U-Shaped Low Modular Sectional Sofa
The client wanted a spacious, low-height modular U-shaped sectional that would:
- accommodate groups comfortably
- encourage conversation and relaxation
- feel grounded and cosy, not bulky
- allow flexible rearrangement if needed
- maintain a sleek modern appearance
- include soft, deep cushions suitable for daily use
They preferred a minimalist profile—low back, modular blocks, and clean silhouettes.
2.2 Velvet High-Back Corner Banquette
The client envisioned a banquette that would seamlessly integrate into a corner alcove and serve as:
- an intimate breakfast or conversation nook
- a sophisticated reading or work corner
- a feature piece that added height and luxury
Their must-haves included:
- a high, supportive backrest
- premium velvet fabric
- a smooth, elegant upholstery finish
- comfortable foam layering
- maximum use of the available corner space
2.3 Velvet Club Armchair
This piece was meant to provide:
- a standalone comfort zone
- plush velvet upholstery
- a refined silhouette suitable for any part of the room
- sturdy craftsmanship for long-term use
- a design that tied in visually with the banquette and sectional
The client wanted something classic yet contemporary—an armchair that felt timeless.
3. What We Did
Innchair Solutions approached the project with a blend of design expertise and manufacturing precision, ensuring each item was custom-built to the client’s home and lifestyle.
3.1 Designing the Modular U-Shaped Sectional Sofa
3.1.1 Concept Development
We first created a digital layout showing how different sofa sizes would sit within the room. After reviewing options, the client finalised a U-shaped configuration optimised for both lounging and entertaining.
3.1.2 Frame Construction
The frame was built using:
- kiln-dried hardwood
- reinforced joinery
- commercial-grade supports for longevity
Even though this was a residential project, we maintained commercial manufacturing standards to maximise durability.
3.1.3 Cushion Engineering
For comfort and resilience, we used:
- multi-layer high-density foam
- feather-touch toppers for softness
- supportive seat structure that wouldn’t sag over time
3.1.4 Upholstery
We wrapped the sofa in a rich velvet selected by the client from our curated swatch range. Particular care was taken to ensure:
- straight, clean stitching
- seamless joins across modular sections
- uniform texture and colour under all lighting conditions
3.1.5 Final Fit & Assembly
Once delivered to the home, the modular system allowed smooth installation. Each module locked into place, giving the sofa a flawless continuous appearance.
3.2 Crafting the Velvet High-Back Corner Banquette
3.2.1 Measurement & Curvature Planning
Corner banquettes require millimetre-perfect craftsmanship. We used laser measurements to ensure:
- the backrest hugged the wall precisely
- corner angles were fully aligned
- seat depth and height matched ergonomic standards
3.2.2 Backrest Height & Comfort
We designed a tall, gently curved backrest offering:
- full upper-back support
- an elegant, extended visual line
- enhanced acoustic comfort for the corner space
3.2.3 Velvet Upholstery Finish
Upholstering a high-back banquette in velvet demands high skill to avoid ripples and inconsistencies. Our team ensured:
- tight, flawless fabric tension
- smooth transitions around the corner
- neat stitching with zero visible staples
3.2.4 Integration into the Home
Once installed, the banquette became an architectural feature—adding height, colour depth, and a cosy enclosed feel.
3.3 Creating the Velvet Club Armchair
The velvet club armchair was designed to complement the sofa and banquette, not compete with them.
3.3.1 Structure
We used a solid hardwood internal frame, ergonomically shaped for long-term seating comfort.
3.3.2 Style
The armchair included:
- soft curves
- a supportive back
- plush foam padding
- smooth velvet upholstery
Its proportions allowed it to sit beautifully as a standalone piece or within the main seating area.
3.3.3 Fabric Matching
We ensured the velvet tone aligned with the rest of the furniture, creating a cohesive, harmonious visual identity throughout the open-plan space.
