Serena and Lily Sofa

When I started a redesign for our living room, I decided I wanted a classic white sofa again. White sofas are timeless and easily transition with seasons and my ever-evolving style. Of course white also shows dirt, but just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Slipcovered sofas are my go to because the slipcover can be easily removed, washed and replaced.

We chose the timeless Serena and Lily Grady Slipcovered Sofa that blends grace and function. Tailored arms and a romantic skirt are balanced by two large cushions maintain clean lines and comfort.

The Best Serena & Lily Sofas

The Grady Notch Arm Pleated Sofa is among my favorite for an abundance of reasons. The pleats feel formal yet flirtatious, adding interest and elevating any space. I love the single bench cushion for comfort and clean lines. It stands alone and requires little decor. It’s available in a variety of fabrics for a custom look. I love this pretty gingham, too!

  2. I am considering this sofa but notice it is on the shorter side depth. Is this a comfy couch for everyday use or better as a statement piece in a less used room?

    1. We live on ours! We enjoy it in our living room, which is our main living space. You can order them with added depth, however, when we did that on our RH sofa, I found myself using it less, because it wasn’t comfortable to sit in (though cozy to lay on).The fabric is a DREAM! Let me know if you have any more questions. Enjoy!
