Bespoke velvet sofa — bohemian craftsmanship by Bérengère Leroy


A  bespoke velvet sofa  is not simply a piece of furniture. It is a style decision, a choice of comfort designed to last for years, a piece that says something about you as soon as you enter the room. At Bérengère Leroy, every  velvet sofa  is made entirely by hand, cut to the nearest centimetre to your dimensions, and upholstered in the fabric of your choice from a selection of exceptional velvets.


The result: a unique piece unlike any other, delivered at your price and within your timeframe. This page is your complete guide to understanding what makes a  bespoke sofa  Bérengère Leroy sofa so distinctive — fabrics, models, customisation, prices and the ordering process.


What is a Bérengère Leroy bespoke velvet sofa?


Bérengère Leroy is a French designer specialising in bespoke furnishings with a bohemian chic spirit. Her line of velvet sofas grew from a simple conviction: a sofa should be designed for you, not the other way round. Too often, buyers adapt to standard dimensions, choose from three available colours and return home with something nice… but not unique.


With Bérengère Leroy, it starts with you: your space, your measurements, your tastes, your budget. The sofa is built around these parameters, not the other way round.


Entirely handcrafted expertise


Every  bespoke velvet sofa  is hand-stitched in a partner workshop using traditional methods. The frame is carefully assembled, the seams are reinforced, and every finish is inspected individually before dispatch. This level of exacting quality simply does not exist in mass production.


Complete customisation, from the first detail to the last


You are in control of the entire design process:



  • Length, to the nearest centimetre — no more sofas that are too short or too long for your wall.

  • Seat depth  — tailored to your build and habits (reading, napping, watching films).

  • Armrest height  — for comfort tailored to you.

  • Velvet fabric  — choose from the entire Bérengère Leroy collection.

  • Finishes  — piping, braid, studs, button tufting or a mix of fabrics.


Transparent pricing, with no unpleasant surprises


Bérengère Leroy’s pricing policy is one of the clearest on the bespoke  sofa :


€1,450 per linear metre, all inclusive — your choice of velvet fabric and a basic finish included.


Price examples:



  • 160 cm (2-seater sofa) →  2 320 €

  • 195 cm (2.5-seater sofa) →  2 827 €

  • 220 cm (3-seater sofa) →  3 190 €

  • 260 cm (3.5-seater sofa) →  3 770 €


Velvets available for your bespoke sofa


Choosing the velvet is the most important step in creating your sofa. Each fabric has its own personality, shaping the overall atmosphere of the room. Bérengère Leroy offers a carefully curated selection of velvets with complementary qualities.


Washed velvet — poetic softness


Washed velvet is treated to achieve a gently patinated appearance, as though the fabric had already lived a little. It creates a soft, intimate and warm atmosphere. Ideal for cosy living rooms, bedrooms or relaxation spaces. Available in a range of colours, from natural beiges to anthracite greys, with terracotta and sage shades in between.


It is the signature fabric of the  MILLE ET UNE NUIT, one of the collection’s most iconic sofas.


Cotton velvet — timeless comfort


Cotton velvet is the classic choice for a sofa intended for intensive everyday use. Its dense texture offers superior seating comfort, its abrasion resistance is excellent, and its refined appearance stands the test of time. The colours are rich and stable, even after several years of use.


Corduroy — vintage boldness


Recognisable by its fine parallel ribs, corduroy adds a strong graphic dimension to the sofa. It pairs perfectly with natural materials (rattan, raw wood, linen) for an expressive, welcoming interior. If you want a sofa that dares to stand out, this is the fabric for you.


Stain-resistant velvet — elegance without the fuss


Bérengère Leroy stain-resistant velvet transforms everyday use. Its technical composition repels liquids and everyday dirt without altering its feel or appearance. Families with children or pets will find it a valuable ally. The colour range is just as broad as for the other velvets, and the finished look is indistinguishable from traditional velvet.


Venetian velvet — understated sophistication


Venetian velvet is distinguished by its tight weave and naturally subtle sheen. It brings a touch of understated luxury, particularly suited to bright interiors and carefully curated décor. It is the fabric of choice for those who appreciate sophistication and prefer subtlety to showiness.


Good to know:  It is possible to combine two different velvets on the same sofa. For example: a washed velvet body with corduroy armrests. This combination is available at no extra cost on most models.


The collection’s signature velvet sofa models


The Bérengère Leroy collection is built around several models with clearly defined silhouettes. Each can be made in any velvet from the collection and customised to your wishes.


The MILLE ET UNE NUIT sofa — the bohemian spirit


The  MILLE ET UNE NUIT  is undoubtedly the sofa that best represents the world of Bérengère Leroy. With its long, flowing skirt, generous proportions and the air of an oriental divan, it perfectly embodies the brand’s bohemian chic spirit. It is available in a standard version or with a long skirt and sofa cover.


An iconic creation: Tsar washed velvet in ecru beige, black velvet piping, and a Curry Losange sofa cover. A composition that perfectly illustrates the brand’s customisation possibilities. Discover this creation in detail on the  dedicated page for the MILLE ET UNE NUIT model in beige washed velvet.


The RODOLPHE sofa — structured elegance


In contrast to the MILLE ET UNE NUIT, the  RODOLPHE  offers a more classic, architectural silhouette. Clearly defined armrests, crisp lines and a streamlined profile: this model is perfectly suited to contemporary interiors, Haussmann-style apartments or anyone looking for a striking piece without excessive ornamentation.


Your own model — entirely bespoke design


If none of the existing models matches your vision exactly, Bérengère Leroy offers a fully  bespokebespoke service. From your sketches, inspirational photos or descriptions, her team will design an original model. This service is available on quotation and requires an appointment in advance.

    • The finishing touches that make all the difference


    The finish is the visual signature of your bespoke velvet sofa. It is the extra detail that transforms a beautiful sofa into an unforgettable piece.


    Piping in matching or contrasting colours


    Piping is a trim sewn along the edge of the sofa, highlighting the lines of the piece. In a matching colour, it creates understated elegance. In a contrasting colour, it adds a bold, contemporary graphic accent.


    Button tufting


    Button tufting is the technique of quilting in diamonds or squares, secured with buttons or topstitching. It gives the sofa a luxurious, three-dimensional appearance. Particularly well suited to classic models such as the RODOLPHE.


    Upholstery studs


    Hand-set along the contours of the sofa, upholstery studs are a distinctive mark of traditional craftsmanship. Available in aged brass, matt black metal or copper-toned metal, they add a bohemian or industrial character, depending on the finish chosen.


    Contrasting piping


    The piping is a braided cord sewn diagonally along the edges of the sofa. It introduces an unexpected touch of colour — an elegant way to personalise the piece without changing its overall lines.

    FAQ

    What sets a bespoke velvet sofa apart from a standard sofa?
    A bespoke sofa is made to your exact dimensions, in the material and finish of your choice. Unlike a standard sofa, it is not held in stock: it is made just for you, to your order. This ensures a result perfectly suited to your space and style, with no compromise.
    Which velvet should you choose for a sofa if you have children or pets?
    Bérengère Leroy stain-resistant velvet is ideal for households with children or pets. It repels liquids and everyday dirt while retaining the soft feel and luxurious appearance of traditional velvet. It is also the easiest option to care for day to day.
    How long does delivery take for a bespoke velvet sofa?
    Manufacture takes 6 to 10 weeks from approval of the order and payment of the deposit. This includes cutting, hand sewing and quality control. Delivery within mainland France takes place in the week after manufacture is complete.
    Can the standard dimensions of Bérengère Leroy models be changed?
    Yes — this is the founding principle of the brand. The length can be adjusted to the nearest centimetre on all models. Seat depth and armrest height can also be changed on most models. If you have an unusual space, a sloping wall or an alcove, this is precisely the kind of constraint bespoke furniture is designed for.
    Can you combine two different velvets on the same sofa?
    Yes. Bérengère Leroy actively encourages this personalisation. For example, you can choose washed velvet for the body of the sofa and corduroy velvet for the armrests. This combination of materials creates a truly unique piece. You can choose the combination when ordering, with help from our showroom advisers or remotely.
    Does the displayed price really include everything, fabric and finishes?
    Yes. The price of €1,450 per linear metre includes the frame, your choice of velvet from the Bérengère Leroy collections and a standard finish (piping, braided trim or simple studs). More complex personalisation options, such as full button tufting or creating a completely new model, may require an additional quotation, but all common combinations are included in the stated price.
    Can I see the materials in person before ordering?
    Absolutely. Each partner showroom has a complete collection of samples of the velvets available in the current collection. We strongly recommend visiting before finalising your order, particularly to assess the depth of the colours in natural and artificial light. If you are unable to visit, samples can be sent on request.
