hadn’t been using.”<br />

boxes and are then assembled in under five minutes. What’s more, Snug can usually<br />

deliver within a week - gone are the days of waiting eight weeks for a sofa to arrive, only<br />

to realise it won’t fit through the door. The other sofa options include modular elements,<br />

helping your sofa grow with your family - and they come in a whole host of stain-resistant<br />

(coffee, wine, small hand prints, paw prints) colours.<br />

Owner Dan was also sceptical about ordering a sofa online - Snug Sofa have UK stores to<br />

try out the products, but these were not in his locale. Though, he admits he needn’t have<br />

worried “the sofa is amazingly comfortable - my expectations were low as it was a sofa<br />

bed, but amazingly it’s even more comfy than my normal sofa upstairs. That, combined<br />

with lightning fast delivery, made something I was dreading incredibly easy. Because of<br />

lockdown, we haven’t had guests yet, but they’ll be able to sleep on a queen sized bed,<br />

which is pretty impressive for a sofa bed! It was a good opportunity to inject some colour<br />

into the room too!”<br />

Did the couple have any regrets from the project? “Only that I wish we’d done it sooner” says<br />

Kate. “Working on renovations this size are intimidating, but having a good plan of each step<br />

and executing it are the key points - you do have to consider the unique challenges of your<br />

own project and try to plan ahead to a degree. We were just desperate for some extra space<br />

with us both working from home, and this has given a new lease of life to an area we hadn’t<br />

been using. It feels like a natural extension of our home and I love all the products we’ve<br />

used - so much so that we are thinking of changing up some rooms upstairs!”<br />
