Having the sofa you want… not the one that’s ‘close enough’ is the difference that Delcor provides. Bespoke to the inch and down to the finest detail, with British craftsmanship and infinite choice, we this month champion a few of the Stamford studio’s latest examples of their made-to-measure sofas and chairs…

Delcor isn’t an ‘it’ll do’ sort of a company. Their sofas are made by craftsmen and women in the company’s Northumberland workshops and chosen by customers visiting one of the company’s five design studios, including the one on Stamford’s Bath Row.

A sense of quality is evident in the company’s hand-cut beech wood frames and hand-stitched fabrics, then underwritten by a 50 year guarantee, which comes as standard on all of its frames.

So given that Delcor doesn’t accept anything less than perfect, why on Earth wouldn’t you? Normally, choosing a sofa means choosing something closest to what you have in mind for your home in terms of style, size or fabric. But Delcor creates your sofa just for you; to your exact size, in the fabric you want, with the finishing touches you choose. That means instead of opting for the sofa that’s closest to what you have in mind, you can create the sofa you want, even making it taller or wider, before choosing your preferred filling, fabric, feet, and finishing touches like piping or scatter cushions.

Since 1967, the firm has stuck determinedly to its ethos of ‘Delcor does it right,’ to ensure your sofa is the one you settle on, not the one you settle for. That experience begins with a showroom consultation where you can try out different styles, experience different fillings – from springy to squidgy – and then see and feel different fabrics from leading designers whose collections can also be used to create curtains and other soft furnishings, ensuring you can achieve a  cohesive looking scheme for your room, with a sofa you’re proud of as its centrepiece…

Delcor crafts its British sofas, chairs and upholstered beds to your exact requirements from its Northumberland workshops. The company has five destination showrooms across Britain for design consultations including one on Stamford’s Bath Row.
