Nick Scali in Leicester
1 showroom · Mid-High (£££)Est. 1962
Nick Scali is a premium Australian furniture brand that entered the UK market in 2024 by acquiring Fabb Furniture, rebranding 16 stores with 3 remaining as Fabb. Founded in 1962 in Sydney, the company is known for designer sofas and dining furniture at accessible luxury price points. Their UK showrooms offer a curated range of leather and fabric sofas with Italian-influenced styling.
Known for: Australia's leading designer sofa brand bringing premium Italian-inspired furniture to the UK through its 19-store network
Australian import that arrived via the Fabb Furniture rebrand, and they're still finding their feet on British soil. The showrooms are slick and the range is broad, but there's a whiff of 'trying too hard to be everything to everyone' about it. Give them time — the bones are there.
“Aussie ambition, settling into British life”

Benny's Take — Nick Scali in Leicester
Nick Scali Leicester at Fosse Park Ave (LE19 1UT) is the Aussie outfit's slot in the Fosse Park sofa cluster, sharing the postcode with DFS, ScS, Sofology and the rest. The showroom is slick, the range is broad, and the staff aren't as pushy as some of the budget-chain neighbours. Nick Scali is still finding its British feet, but Fosse is a sensible place to give them a proper try — easy compare against the giants either side, free parking, time to actually sit on things. Weekday mornings beat the Saturday Fosse Park chaos. Worth a sit.
Sofa Shopping in Leicester
Leicester's 9 sofa showrooms concentrate heavily around Fosse Park at Enderby on the south-western edge — one of the Midlands' best retail parks and the reason Leicester punches above its size for furniture shopping. DFS, Furniture Village, Nick Scali, Oak Furnitureland, ScS and Sofology all sit within the LE19 1UT postcode block, essentially turning Fosse Park South into a one-stop sofa supermarket. Park at Everard Way, walk between six showrooms in twenty minutes, and you've covered the bulk of what Leicester offers. Dunelm holds St George's Retail Park near the city centre at LE1 3YN, and John Lewis is properly central at the Highcross Shopping Centre on Causeway Lane. ScS also runs a Loughborough outpost on Derby Road at LE11 5AB — handy if you're coming from the north of the county. With 4 budget showrooms, 2 mid, 3 mid-to-high, the price coverage is decent without quite reaching luxury territory. What's notably missing: no Neptune, no Sofas & Stuff, no Italian brands. If you want bespoke British craft or country-house style, you're driving to Stratford or Cambridge. Nick Scali at Fosse Park is the closest you get to something different in the lineup, with its Australian-import design positioning. John Lewis is the dependable premium-mid option for anyone wanting the department-store experience. Practical bits: Fosse Park is easy off the M1 J21 and parking is huge, free, and well-organised. Saturday afternoons get rammed though — weekday mornings and Sunday lunchtimes are the move. The city-centre John Lewis trip needs separate parking thinking; Highcross is paid but covered, and you can combine it with proper Leicester city food. Mostly mainstream, but for sheer choice density at one retail park, hard to beat in the East Midlands.
