How would you style the G-Plan Washington ?

The G-plan Washington recliner sofa offers fantastic comfort and quality. The sofa is available in 2-seater and 3-seater sizes and there are fixed versions of both for those who don't want the recline function. There is also a fixed and a recliner chair, so you can have a fully coordinated look for your room from the Washington Collection. All are offered in a wide range of beautiful fabrics and leathers to suit your style.


The sofa here is shown in the subtle Capri Chalk leather, but what would you pair it with to give the room the look and feel you like. You could keep to a soft natural colour scheme, or you could add in a pop of colour with brighter curtains or cushions, or if you prefer a more dramatic look, why not choose a bold colour for the flooring or walls.

And what about the accompanying furniture - do you prefer a more traditional look, like the Nathan Teak collection? Or how about the classy Ercol Romana range? Or is the contemporary Brooklyn collection o more your style? Whatever your taste, we have a wide range of living furniture, to choose from.

Why not take a look here on our website, and start dreaming how you would like your room?

New Step-free Access to 1st floor Rainham, 50th Birthday & Future Plans

New Step Free access to 1st floor at Rainham

We have installed a Stannah stairlift in our Rainham store, to help customers, who find stairs difficult, to access our first floor showroom more easily.

Customers can ring the doorbell by the back door (in Cricketers' car park) and we will then let you in and help you with the stairlift.

The lift is fully commissioned and ready for use.

In October, Lukehurst will be celebrating 50 years in retailing. We had hoped to mark the occasion with a special in-store evening event, but due to the current social distancing guidelines, we do not feel this is appropriate. However, we are determined not to let this wonderful milestone pass unnoticed, so we are planning some special offers for our Winter sale - look out for details nearer the time.

Website Upgrade

We are currently upgrading our website to make it easier to look for and buy products online. This is quite a major project which we will be working on over the next few months. Hopefully the new website will be up and running in the new year, but we will let you know when it is ready to go live.


Expansion Plans

We were due to have built the new mezzanine in our Sittingbourne store this year, to give us more showroom space to display a wider range of products. However, due to the trading difficulties this year, we have now taken the decision to postpone this until next year.
Although the project has been delayed, we are still thinking about and planning this new area, in particular the types of products and displays to feature.
Why not let us know if there are any brands or products that you would like us to offer? We can't guarantee that we will be able to, but it would be lovely to find out what else you feel would add to our store.

This eye-catching lounger sofa is part of the Whitemeadow Seville collection. The collection also features a choice of 3 sizes of sofa, plus a corner group, an armchair, a cuddler chair and a range of benches/footstools, ensuring there is something suitable for different sized rooms. All are available in a wide choice of fabrics, to suit different tastes and interiors, and with a selection of finishes for the wooden legs.

The lounger sofa is shown here in a lovely deep tangerine coloured fabric, which is perfect if you want to make a bold statement with your sofa.

But how would you style the rest of the room?

There are so many options, even with this bold colour. A subtle neutral carpet or a wooden floor? Painted walls in grey or cream? Maybe a feature wall, wallpaper or exposed stone or brickwork? Curtains or blinds at the windows? What sort of furniture would you put with it?

Why not take a look here on our website, and start dreaming how you would like your room?

Our stores are still closed at the moment, but we are hoping to re-open soon and are currently planning and putting measures in place to ensure we keep out customers and staff safe when we do. Once the re-open date has been confirmed, we will let you know.

Covid-19 update for our customers - a message from our MD, Martin Lukehurst

Dear Customers,

During this unprecedented upheaval to life as we know it, we wanted to write to you and wish you all good health and hope that you manage to avoid this virus that is sweeping our nation. I, myself, will be self-isolating for the foreseeable future. It will be a difficult period and all businesses are going to suffer. We are in this together and hope that here at Lukehurst, we can weather the storm, so we are here for another 50 years to serve our customers.

With this in mind we will remain open as long as we can. We are taking all government advice around the cleaning of our premises and social distancing in store. Our online service is available for any of your furniture needs and we will be available on the phone to discuss orders, deliveries and general enquiries for those who cannot venture out. If anyone would like to arrange a private appointment with us either before or after store hours, we’d be happy to set this up. If the government makes a move to shut down all business, we will have to rely on these methods even more as our stores will have to close.

We had planned to host a MEGA SALE in March and April of this year to prepare our Sittingbourne store for the revamp with a new mezzanine level. This has had to be postponed, but when we are all back on our feet, we will launch it and let you know the start date.

We hope to see you all in store very soon.

As always, thank you to all our loyal customers, and on behalf of Lukehurst, I do hope you, your family and friends will stay safe and healthy during these difficult times – please look after yourselves.

Best wishes,

Martin Lukehurst
