At Vintage Sofa Warehouse, we offer more than just sofas — we offer stories. From preloved and vintage-style designs to custom-made sofas built in the UK, we help you find furniture that feels personal, looks incredible, and lasts for years to come.
We're a family-run business, led by husband-and-wife team Andrew and Nikki, and we're proud to do things a little differently.
Our Story
Vintage Sofa Warehouse began with a passion for restoration.
After leaving the freight industry, Andrew turned his hobby of upcycling vintage furniture into a growing business. He quickly built a reputation for sourcing and restoring beautiful vintage pieces, particularly for pub chains wanting unique decor.
Andrew trained as a leather dyeing expert, perfecting the technique of giving new leather a rustic, lived-in look, and restoring older leather to its former glory. As demand grew, Nikki joined the journey, bringing her interior design background and love of vintage style. Together, they launched Vintage Sofa Warehouse a place where sustainability, creativity, and quality come together.
What We Do
We sell an extensive range of sofas, armchairs, beds and home furnishings, including:
• Vintage and preloved sofas (restored with care)
• A growing collection of brand-new sofas in classic and modern styles
• Bespoke, made-to-order sofas from UK manufacturers
• Artisan-made pieces and home décor
Looking for something tailored to you?
We offer bespoke sizes, up to 60 fabric choices, and a wide range of finishes, from Harris Tweed and real leather to velvets and natural fabrics. You can mix and match designs, legs, trims, and cushions - turning our models into your vision.
Our custom-made sofa options are built in the UK by specialist manufacturers who only supply boutique retailers like us, so you won't find these sofas on the high street.
Appointments are available for one-to-one support, so you can take your time and explore all your options without pressure. Lead times vary from 5 to 16 weeks, depending on your order.
Our Showroom
We're based in a unique location, a 1913 former Co-op department store in Sherburn Hill, Durham. It's a stunning building with original Edwardian and Art Deco features, now home to our themed showrooms, artisan marketplace, and soon, a new café space launching summer 2025.
As you explore, you'll find authentic touches everywhere, and plenty of inspiration for your own home.
Supporting Independent Makers
We also support local and independent makers by offering space for artisan-crafted products throughout our store. When you shop with us, you're not just getting a beautiful piece for your home — you're supporting UK craftsmanship and sustainability.
What's Next?
In 2025–2026, we'll be expanding our range of new furniture and beds based on customer demand. We're also launching a dedicated craft studio and community space, where creativity, heritage, and connection can thrive..
