Sofa Cum Bed in Rani Pink Velvet, Tufted

Rani pink is the pink of wedding shamianas and bandhani dupattas and on this sofa it comes in soft velvet with the seat and the back tufted into squares. Against plain walls it is the first thing anyone looks at, so it suits a family that likes colour in the house.

During the day it works as a normal 3 seater, deep enough to sit back in and watch TV, with 2 cushions in the same velvet. When the cousins stay over after a function, it opens out flat into a double bed.

Turning It Into A Bed

1. Take the 2 cushions off and keep them aside.
2. Pull the seat forward until it comes all the way out.
3. Let the back down flat into the space behind it.

There are 2 joins where the sections meet. A thin mattress topper or a folded razai on top hides them for a guest who sleeps light.

Velvet In Rani Pink

Velvet shows lighter and darker patches wherever a hand has brushed the pile the other way, you can see it in the photos and a soft brush puts it straight again. Once a week the soft brush attachment on the vacuum keeps the dust out of it. A colour this deep fades in strong direct sun, so a spot away from the window is better for it.
