We believe that these 10 timeless Eichholtz sofas for luxury living rooms are exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
Styles designed to endure passing trends and emerge as icons of elegance are referred to as “timeless” and are the preferred choice of industry professionals. However, achieving this look can be more difficult than you think.
In living room design, the constructs of this concept lie in a strong sense of place. This involves creating an aesthetic in which your furnishings, material selections and how you position your ensemble to exude a sense of belonging and authenticity.
It also pays homage to cultural influences and shows respect for manufacturing processes that have endured the test of time. Fine craftsmanship and attention to detail are therefore a priority.
Timeless design permits astounding longevity, ensuring that your overall aesthetic is future-proof and will remain in style for years to come. In keeping with this, textile choices should be both luxurious and durable and each furniture piece must beautifully reflect a perfect balance between function and form.

Chat NowIf you’re a design aficionado, you’ll know that creating a classic aesthetic is a show of discernment, luxury and class. This is how you do it:
Quality is everything, so select furnishings made from sustainably sourced hardwoods, natural fabrics and refined leather to ensure that you benefit from them for years to come.
Your final choice will depend on both personal preference and your lifestyle, so if you’re not sure which is best, read our article on the most durable furniture fabrics for some useful guidelines.
From your preferred genre to your colour palette and everything in between, your room should exude a sense of connection and flow.
One of the key factors in classic design is symmetry. To achieve this, select furniture and accessories that complement each other and position them in a way that creates a balance between the two halves of your room.
Every room needs a strong focal point and in classic design, this is especially important. Find something that will draw the eye in and provide it with a place to rest.
If your room doesn’t have a significant architectural feature, a central fireplace or a beautiful view, don’t stress. Focal points are easy to create using bespoke items like gorgeous artwork, a luxury sofa or a striking chandelier.
Many industry professionals prefer to use a monochromatic colour palette when designing a timeless setting. Why? Because it is guaranteed to never go out of style and is easy to replace should the occasion arise.
However, if you’re set on patterns and feel that you can live with them long-term, opt for classic favourites like stripes, botanicals, plaids or damasks and make sure you distribute them evenly throughout the room.
While buying the best in high-tech media systems is always a good idea, placing them discreetly will add to the classiness of your room. So keep remotes and consoles behind closed doors and make sure that your television is camouflaged by ensuring that your décor and accessories are front and forward.
These days, you can even get TVs that have mirror finishes or display either photographs or artworks to disguise their screens.
Trends have nothing to do with timelessness and, once their moment in the sun is up, will make a room look outdated. So if you want to enjoy some of the latest fads, do it in moderation.
Rugs, pillows, throws or a current wall colour are all acceptable and can be easily changed, but certainly don’t indulge in any major furniture pieces.
Whether you’re looking for a luxury sofa with a traditional profile, a vintage-style Chesterfield or something a little more modern, Eichholtz has it all.
Traversing a myriad of different genres and beautifully defined by elegant lines and exciting textures, this brand offers a range that will boggle your mind.
So for those who feel a little overwhelmed, we’re lending a hand by revealing our top 10 picks. They’re guaranteed to bring timeless beauty to your living spaces.
Kicking off with a classic, the Club Gymnasium follows the iconic Chesterfield style and sports its definitive buttoned back, elegantly pleated scroll arms and archetypal bun feet. With refined leather upholstery in aged tobacco offset by antique brass studs, it’s sure to add a touch of glam to your aesthetics.
Camelbacks are highly revered in design for their old-world style and charm, and Eichholtz has captured their profile perfectly with its resplendent Merlin sofa. This ample three-seater is upholstered in plush off-white fabric with nailhead trim in antique bronze. Its elongated black legs and two cosy cushions are noteworthy features, adding a sense of grace and height to the ensemble.

Nothing says Rococo quite like a chaise, so why not bring a taste of France to your living room landscape with the elegant Lounge Cesare? Designed for optimal relaxation, you can recline in style on its gently curved seat or prop yourself up on comfy scatter cushions with a good book in hand. Available with either a left or right arm, it can be conveniently positioned in accordance with your layout.
Inspired by the Art Deco Streamline Moderne style, the York sofa is nothing short of decadent. With its strong sense of geometry, delicate brass legs and rich bouclé upholstery, it captures the art of chic living, making it the ultimate choice for design aficionados across the globe.
If you’re after a thoroughly modern twist on a classic tuxedo sofa, Eichholtz has nailed it with its Tuscany Avalon collection. With square arms and an upright back, this version is accompanied by comfortable cushions that allow you to sit and unwind with plenty of room for extra company.
If you love the formality of a ritzy hotel, the Spectator is sure to make a statement, adding glamour and a sense of nostalgia to your timeless designs. Its elongated back, tapered legs and deeply buttoned Roche green upholstery in plush velvet make it the perfect addition to a reading nook or snug alcove. We think it’s an ideal choice if you're looking to create a cosy spot for some quiet introspection.
Fully modular and comprising a chair, chaise, armrest and ottoman, the Mondial collection gets an A-plus for innovation, enabling you to place each piece in any order you please. Available in a number of timeless colours and with a loose back cushion for extra support, Eichholtz certainly knows how to infuse versatility into its designs.
Reminiscent of luxe ‘50s living, the shell-shaped Messina Cameron sofa will imbue your space with vintage glamour. Sinuous and symmetrical with turquoise velvet tufted upholstery and graceful brass legs, it perfectly balances comfort and sophistication. Whether you’re hosting a high-brow dinner party or simply relaxing with family, it’s an excellent choice for a timeless living room.
Clean and minimalistic, the Bjorn sofa is a celebration of organic shapes and deep comfort. Available in a single unit or a two- or three-piece that can be divided to fill open-plan living spaces, it offers clever flexibility and a sense of purpose. With Eichholtz’s unique boomerang design that suits both contemporary and conventional interiors, it’s a must-have if you love out-of-the-box décor.
Pretty in pink and perfect for convivial conversation areas, the Pierson Savona sofa brings a sense of distinction to any classic aesthetic. Its curved seat and backrest give it a slightly retro feel, typical of Mid-Century Modern design. Also available in grey velvet if you’d prefer something a little less flamboyant.
Once you’ve chosen your ideal sofa, you’ll need to curate the rest of your living room ensemble. Here are 6 Eichholtz furniture essentials you should never do without:
Not only do armchairs create extra seating, but they are a wonderful way to add character to a room. Pair them with a luxury sofa to complete a conversation area or use them to create a cosy reading nook near a fireplace or window.
Aside from providing a functional surface on which to place glasses and ornaments, a well-placed coffee table will help unify your seating plan and add an extra design element to your room. Eichholtz has an outstanding range to suit any aesthetic.
If you’re wondering how to fill the spaces between your sofas and chairs, side tables are the answer. Find one that is large enough to be useful without imposing on the rest of your ensemble.
Whether you choose a freestanding unit or decide to have one built in, a beautiful bookshelf adds visual interest to your room and will help you clear the clutter. Make sure your choice is made from high-quality materials to ensure it will last for decades, and use it to display ornaments, photographs and other items of interest.
Ottomans are one of the most versatile additions to any living room ensemble and help to add a touch of opulence to your space. Easy to move around, they can be used as extra seating, a coffee table surface or simply give you a comfy perch for your feet.
Nothing ties your décor together quite like a beautiful rug, and Eichholtz has a range that will astound you. Make sure you choose one in a style and colour that complements the rest of your furnishings. Our article on what size area rug is best for a living room to help you make the right decision.
