Buying guide: Is the modular Aura Sofa right for your home?

 

Sculptural, modular, and effortlessly elegant, the Aura Sofa is designed to make a statement while adapting to the way you live. With comfort in every curve and flexibility at its core, Aura transforms to fit interiors of any shape and size, from compact apartments to expansive living areas.

Building on the success of the Aura Island Sofa, which introduced a sculptural curved silhouette, the Aura Sofa now brings this signature form into a modular design. The flexible form allows you to tailor the layout to your lifestyle, whether you're creating an intimate corner or an open, flowing lounge.

In this guide, King Living Designer Zara Fong offers expert insights and practical tips to help you understand the key features, styling considerations, and layout possibilities so you can confidently decide if Aura is right for your space and your style.

Will the Aura Sofa complement your interior?

 

Aura’s curved, minimalist form is designed to enhance a wide range of interior styles without overpowering the space. The sculptural silhouette adds visual interest while maintaining a sense of softness and balance, making it equally at home in open-plan living areas or compact urban apartments.

“A key focus was designing a shape that felt fluid yet refined,” explains King Living Designer Zara Fong. “We wanted it to support the overall design of a room, not compete with it.

Each seating module is beautifully finished on all sides, meaning the Aura Sofa looks just as elegant placed against a wall as it does floating in the centre of a room. This level of detail allows for complete freedom when positioning the sofa, giving you flexibility to rework your layout as your needs or style evolve.

“We approached Aura as a multidirectional piece,” adds Zara. “It was important that it looked good from every angle.”

If your home leans toward contemporary, minimalist, or even coastal styles, Aura’s understated elegance offers a timeless aesthetic that can evolve with your décor. Its natural curves create a sense of movement and flow, making the room feel larger and more cohesive, which is especially useful in smaller or multi-functional spaces. 

When styling, consider pairing Aura with low-profile tables and soft, textural accents to highlight its sculptural form while maintaining a calm, curated look. 

 Aura’s modular design allows for easy reconfiguration, offering the flexibility to suit both expansive and small spaces.

 

How modular is the Aura Sofa?

 

Aura offers excellent flexibility to suit evolving lifestyles and a wide range of interior layouts. Whether you’re furnishing a compact apartment or a spacious open-plan living room, Aura can be tailored to your needs today and into the future.

From L-shapes and U-shapes to corner settings or symmetrical layouts, Aura allows you to create a setup that reflects how you live. Modules can be added, rearranged, or styled in new ways over time. However, it’s important to note that corner and chaise modules are directional and are only available in left- or right-hand configurations, which must be selected at the time of purchase.

Because each module is a standalone piece, Aura requires virtually no setup time and offers exceptional accessibility. It’s easy to move, easy to assemble, and ideal for homes with narrow hallways or apartment entries where larger sofas might not fit. Simply position the modules, connect them, and your sofa is ready to use with no complex installation.

“Designing Aura as a modular sofa was about empowering people to shape their own spaces,” says King Living Designer Zara Fong. If you space or style changes the design can evolve with you."

To find the right package for you, start by considering how you use your living space day to day, whether that is lounging, hosting, or multifunctional use. Next choose a configuration that fits your layout. With the right planning, Aura becomes a long-term solution for adaptable, considered living.

Can you customise the fabric covers?

 

Aura is fully customisable with a wide range of premium fabrics and luxurious European leathers; all made to order. This allows you to tailor the look and feel of your sofa to suit your interior style without compromising your aesthetic.

Whether you gravitate toward soft neutrals, warm earth tones, bold colours, or textured finishes, there’s an option to complement your space. From relaxed linens and performance fabrics to rich velvets and soft leathers, each King Living material offers a unique way to express your personal aesthetic.

Beyond customisation, Aura features removable covers, designed to be unzipped, cleaned, or replaced with ease. This means you can refresh the look over time, change the covers for a new look.

"We see the removable covers as an extension of modularity. They allow for true flexibility not just in layout, but in the look. Zara explained. You can refresh the fabric to align with seasonal palettes or future design shifts, without replacing the entire piece."

Before choosing your fabric, consider how the space is used. Is it a high-traffic family area or a more formal lounge? Request fabric swatches, test them in your space, and choose a finish that not only matches your palette, the feeling you’re looking to create and also suits your lifestyle.

Is the Aura Sofa comfortable?

 

While Aura makes a striking visual statement, it’s equally focused on long-term comfort. Underneath the sculptural form lies a foundation of thoughtful engineering designed to support everyday living.

Each seat is built on the signature King Steel Frame, renowned for its strength and durability, and supported by the Postureflex® Steel Suspension system. Extra-high pocket springs are integrated into the seating, providing a unique combination of comfort and enduring support. The result is a sofa that feels soft yet structured, relaxed yet resilient. For peace of mind, Aura is backed by a 25-Year Steel Frame Warranty.

“We engineered Aura with the same precision we bring to every King Living design, balancing visual flow with ergonomic performance,” explains Designer Zara Fong. “You may not see the comfort, but you feel it the moment you sit down.”

Unlike many sofas that rely on cushions to create comfort, Aura is designed with built-in support. Its curved backrest is carefully engineered to provide ergonomic comfort without the need for additional back cushions.

“Aura was intentionally designed to be used without cushions, Zara adds. “We wanted the form itself to deliver support and softness, so the backrest features integrated comfort support. Of course, throw cushions can always be added for a more personalised look or feel.”

To make the most of the experience, pair Aura with the relaxed Sadie Cushion or curved Aura Ottomans that follow the sofa’s natural lines, reinforcing both comfort and continuity in your space.

  Ideal in any sized space, the Aura Sofa left and right corner modules come together to create a comfortable two-seater setting.

 

What package options are available?

 

Aura’s modular design gives you the freedom to create a sofa that fits your space perfectly. You can choose from curated package options designed to suit a wide range of common living room layouts, from compact two-seaters to large multi-piece lounge configurations, or build your own from individual modules.

And because of the modular design, you can add or rearrange components over time. This makes Aura a smart choice for households that are growing, downsizing, or relocating frequently.

To get started, consider your current space, your preferred layout, and any changes you anticipate in the future. Begin with a configuration that suits your lifestyle now, with confidence that you can evolve it later.
