Custom Sofas for Tarnaka Homes, Sitting Beside Old Teak

Front rooms here often contain the decision before we arrive: a teak framed set that has been recovered more than once, still sound, not going anywhere, and a gap beside it where something newer is meant to stand. A sofa for Tarnaka is therefore rarely a clean sheet. It is drawn to the wall it will stand against and, just as carefully, to the piece it will stand next to, because the quickest way to make good old furniture look tired is to put something beside it that ignores it.

What Drawing Around the Old Furniture Gives You

Some of these visits end with us recommending a sofa repair on what is already in the room, because the frames in these houses were often made properly. Where something new is genuinely wanted, building it rather than buying it earns its keep like this.

  • Show Wood Stained to the Room

    Any exposed timber is stained against the old set with the sample held to it in the same light, instead of being matched from a shade card at the bench.

  • A Cover That Agrees With the Room

    Covering is shortlisted beside the pieces you are keeping and against the floor, so the new sofa reads as something added to the room rather than a replacement dropped into it.

  • Lines That Stand Next to Older Ones

    Arm shape, leg height and the set of the back are drawn to sit with the older piece without pretending to be it, which wears better than a copy that misses by a little.

  • Firm Seat, Soft Back

    Seat, back and arm foam are each given their own density, so the place the family sits every evening keeps its shape while the back stays soft enough to lean into.

  • Timber Meant to Last as Long

    Seasoned hardwood, jointed and blocked, so the new piece is still sound at the age the set beside it has already reached.

  • Seats for the Busiest Evening

    We count the people actually in the room when the family gathers, then decide how much of that goes into the sofa and how much into chairs that can be carried in.

Why Tarnaka Families Have It Made

What Is Staying, Listed First
Before any design talk we write down what is not moving, the divan, the corner cabinet, the chairs that come out for visitors, and the sofa is drawn to live with that list.
The Path Through Kept Clear
This room is both where visitors are received and the way to the inner rooms, so the depth and the return are settled with that path walked rather than assumed.
Columns, Skirting and Old Plaster
In a house of this age a projecting column, a deep skirting or a wall that is not quite straight decides the length, so the tape goes over all three before a figure is given.
The Way In Surveyed
The gate, the step at the sit out and the door leaf are measured on the same visit, and where they are tight the piece is made to come in as parts and be assembled inside.
Built to Be Recovered
Nothing inside is stapled shut, so in years to come this piece can be taken back to the frame and covered again, the way the teak set beside it already has been.

Tarnaka Custom Sofa Questions

Can a new sofa be made to sit with the teak set in our Tarnaka front room?

That is usually the whole brief. We take the show wood stain against your set in the room, hold covering samples beside it in the same light, and draw the arms and legs to stand with it rather than imitate it. We will also say plainly where a companion is realistic and where an exact match to timber that has aged for years is not.

The old divan is staying where it is. Can the sofa be sized around it?

Yes, and the divan goes on the list of what is not moving before anything is drawn. We measure it in place, mark the new footprint on the floor in tape, and check the gap between the two with somebody walking through. Often the answer is a slightly shorter sofa and a chair that can be shifted, rather than the longest piece the wall would take.

One wall of our front room has a column projecting into it. Does that rule out a long sofa?

It sets the longest piece the wall will take, which is not the same as ruling one out. We measure to the face of the column rather than the plaster behind it, and either stop the sofa short of it or run a low table into the gap so the break looks intended. That is decided with the tape on the wall, not from a photograph.
