Hi, I am Lucy Cornes, founder of She Shopped – welcome to my most favourite space in our home – our family room. This is where we come to hang out and have quality family-time. There is no TV, which encourages conversation, board games and lazy naps by the open fire. I’m not going to lie, with three boys and three dogs, this room is not immune from their usual crazy antics – so while I want it to look nice, I have to be practical too!
The addition of the Zara Sofa by Plush has been a great one! I selected it because it not only looks stylish, but it is over-sized and offers comfort on a grand scale. The deep feather filled seating is perfect for chilling out but is robust enough to withstand wrestling matches!
So how do I style my Zara sofa from Plush? Well firstly, I’m not a stylist, so my advice is a reflection of my personal taste and circumstances. Here are my top three tips –
- Incorporate texture – especially in winter. Texture adds interest and also provides comfort and warmth. For the colder months I’ve added sheepskins, throw rugs and cushions in different finishes including luxe velvet for a deep textural effect.
- Speaking of cushions, they can make or break your space (and sanity!). I love scatter cushions but I am realistic about it. I add enough so that it looks aesthetically pleasing, while not impacting my ability to sit on the sofa. Zara looks so great, so I want to actually be able to see the sofa too! Finally I have to be realistic – I know my boys will throw them all over the ground and I will almost always be the one re-positioning them. By only having a few cushions I don’t have to feel precious about this.
- When selecting colours I’ve drawn inspiration from my existing décor. I have a neutral base of white, with metallics in my artwork and blues in my stained glass doors. These colours have formed a palette for me – it’s not about being matchy-matchy but using my throw rugs, sheepskins and scatter cushions to pull together all the colours and patterns in my room.

Hi Lucy,

Thanks for all your great articles, love them!!
Amy ????
Oh how exciting! I’d love to see a pic once you have styled it. The Zara is a GREAT choice! Those deep seats are heaven x
Absolutely beautiful Lucy. What impeccable taste you have… Just one question (as I’m feeling like a bad mum), is there a tv anywhere in your house?
Hi Naoni, thanks so much for your message and kind words! Oh yes, we have TVs in our home, just not in that room and they get watched a lot by the boys! No need to feel like a bad mum..ever! x
Hi Lucy,
Absolutely love the look. What is the name of the fabric colour of your lounge. It’s perfect! Also love the coffee tables, where are they from? Many thanks, louise
Hi Lovely. I will have to find out the fabric – I have forgotten. Or you could show it to the staff at Plush and they will tell you (there wasn’t many like it). The coffee tables are from Temple and Webster x
