In the 19th century Long Eaton was a thriving town, producing a large proportion of famous Nottingham lace. As demand for lace fell, the demand for railway carriage seats and furniture for ocean liners grew, and the town became known for making the finest quality upholstery in the UK. And it still is. \u201cIt is true craftsmanship,\u201d says Paul Deckland, Buying Director at the Cotswold Company, of the work that takes place in its Long Eaton factory where everything is done by hand and there is no production&nbsp;line.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/sofas-and-armchairs\/morris\/armchair\/cotswold-weave\/mid-grey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12450  alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=360%2C540&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"upholstery_012-2\" width=\"360\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=110%2C165&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=300%2C450&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=380%2C570&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=1160%2C1740&amp;ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=220%2C330&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=600%2C900&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=760%2C1140&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/UPHOLSTERY_012-6014947.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a>\u201cUpholstery cannot be done by machine. It\u2019s steeped in tradition. The people here are second or third generation upholsterers. The same one or two people make each piece from start to finish. You can see the pride they take in their work in the quality of the finished furniture.\u201d Making the perfect sofa is no mean feat. Take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/sofas-and-armchairs\/morris\/25-seater\/cotswold-weave\/mid-grey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Morris<\/a>. It\u2018s an elegant piece with neat proportions. The style has longevity. It\u2018s the kind of piece that could move home with you without looking old or out of&nbsp;place.<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"a-considered-process\">A CONSIDERED PROCESS<\/h6>\n<p>Each new style starts life as a drawing. \u201cWe take inspiration from classic timeless shapes but update them to be relevant for today,\u201d says Paul. \u201dWe started with images of traditional chairs and then played with the proportions to make the shape more contemporary. And we squared off the corners so it\u2019s neater.\u201d Next the factory makes a prototype. \u201dWe will sit on it, lie on it, play on it. After that it will go through several rounds of modifications, perhaps widening the arm to make it more functional or raising the back to use as a headrest. With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/sofas-and-armchairs\/morris\/25-seater\/cotswold-weave\/mid-grey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Morris<\/a> we increased the thickness of the cushions and on the sofa we made the arm a little higher so you can use it as a headrest.\u201d Each component is thought through, from the frames to the springs to the filling. \u201dIt\u2018s the same with all our upholstery, but we come from a position of comfort. For the Morris we chose feather-wrapped seat cushions rather than 100% feathers so you get the comfort of feathers without having to plump up all the&nbsp;time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"a-colourful-landscape\">A COLOURFUL LANDSCAPE<\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/sofas-and-armchairs\/talbot\/25-seater\/cotswold-weave\/mid-grey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12453  alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=465%2C349&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"foxcote_sofa_012\" width=\"465\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=110%2C83&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=380%2C285&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=1160%2C870&amp;ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=220%2C165&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FOXCOTE_SOFA_012-2433519.jpg?resize=760%2C570&amp;ssl=1 760w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/a>Each of our eight sofa shapes comes in many sizes, and a choice of any of our 21 fabrics. \u201cWe\u2019ve tried really hard to make it as easy and simple for our customers as possible,\u201d says Paul. \u201dWhich is why our range of fabrics is small.

Or you could be a person on your own who likes to lie on it. Then consider your space. Get as big a sofa as you\u2019ll be able to reasonably fit \u2013 legs create the illusion of space in a smaller apartment. Then it\u2019s down to style and colour. This is where you get to express your personality, but be practical. For instance, we have a dog so as much as I\u2019d love a light cream-coloured sofa it would be a disaster. That said, we\u2018re soon introducing a wipe-clean fabric that can even get rid of red wine! But my best advice would be, don\u2019t buy it for your imaginary life \u2013 buy it for your real&nbsp;life.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"mood-board\">MOOD BOARD<\/h6>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12455  alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=420%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"blue-mist-dining-hand\" width=\"420\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?w=1057&amp;ssl=1 1057w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=280%2C300&amp;ssl=1 280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=955%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 955w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=768%2C823&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=110%2C118&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=300%2C322&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=380%2C407&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=800%2C858&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=220%2C236&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=600%2C643&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=760%2C815&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blue-Mist-Dining-Hand-3788392.jpg?resize=560%2C600&amp;ssl=1 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/>Our range of 21 colours is inspired by the Cotswolds.
