With its deep buttoning, sweeping scroll arms and unmistakable Chesterfield silhouette, our Montgomery sofa is a masterclass in timeless design. Rooted in heritage yet far from predictable, it strikes that rare balance between classic elegance and modern versatility.
This is a piece that doesn’t just sit quietly in a room; it sets the tone. Whether styled with bold, contemporary accents or softened with relaxed, lived-in layers, the Montgomery adapts effortlessly to your vision.
Looking to refine a formal living space or dial up the comfort in a more casual setting? Here are seven inspiring ways to style your Montgomery sofa.
1. Make a colour pop statement

The Montgomery sofa’s structured shape and classic detailing make it an ideal canvas for colour. Alongside timeless neutrals, it’s available in a carefully curated palette that includes rich, characterful shades such as royal blue, saffron, bottle green, rosewood, honeycomb, and copperwood.
These deeper tones bring instant depth and personality to a space while still feeling considered and refined. You can embrace the richness with complementary cushions and layered textiles, or balance it out with softer accents and natural materials for a more relaxed look.
Whether you prefer something bold and expressive or warm and understated, the right colour choice allows the Montgomery to feel entirely your own.
2. Channel Regency elegance

Lean into the range’s heritage feel by creating a Regency-inspired look. Think luxurious fabrics, symmetry, and a subtle sense of glamour.
Style your Montgomery with velvet cushions, metallic accents like gold or brass, and a statement mirror or oversized wall art above the sofa. Pair with dark wood furniture and vintage pieces, layer with different textures and aged patterns to create a space that feels elegant and enticing.
3. Keep it classic with leather

A leather Montgomery sofa is a true design staple. To enhance its timeless appeal, keep the styling simple and refined.

Pair it with a classic wall colour, a vintage-style rug, and warm lighting to enhance the gentle sheen. Add a few cushions in creams, browns, or an accent shade to enhance the look while still letting the leather take centre stage.
4. Go maximalist with colour and pattern

If you love bold interiors, the Montgomery sofa works beautifully in a more expressive scheme. Add patterned cushions such as florals, stripes, or geometric prints, and introduce a richly patterned rug.

A feature wall with wallpaper, panelling, or a gallery of artwork behind the sofa can add even more impact. Stick to a core colour palette, balancing bold shades with softer tones so the style feels cohesive and easy to live with.
5. Blend modern heritage
For a fresh approach, mix Montgomery’s traditional design with more contemporary elements. Pair it with clean-lined furniture such as a minimalist coffee table and modern lighting. Keep the palette really simple and add abstract artwork or sculptural accessories to create more contrast. This balance keeps the space feeling current while still full of character.
6. Try a tonal look

A tonal scheme is ideal if you prefer a calm and more streamlined aesthetic. Colour drench your walls with a softer shade from the same colour family as your sofa, and choose cushions, throws, and accessories in varying shades to add visual interest. Layering tones adds depth without making the space feel busy.
7. Style your footstool
If you have a matching Montgomery footstool, it can be used in multiple ways.

The footstool can double as an ottoman-style coffee table with ease. Simply place a sturdy tray on top to create a practical surface for magazines, snacks, or drinks, then add a small stack of coffee table books and a bud vase for a final touch of beauty.
When hosting, the Montgomery footstool becomes a flexible extra seat. Easily moved into your seating arrangement, it offers a practical perch for guests and helps you make the most of your space without compromising on style.

It can also be styled as a cosy spot for your dog. Layer a folded blanket on top to create a comfortable place for them to rest, while protecting the upholstery and keeping the overall look of the room cohesive.
From bold and expressive to calm and classic, the Montgomery range adapts beautifully to your personal style. However you choose to style it, its timeless Chesterfield-inspired design ensures it remains the focal point of your living room.
