Nick Scali in Swindon
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 Swindon
Nick Scali Swindon at Mannington Retail Park, 2a Telford Way (SN5 8WA) is the Aussie outfit's outpost just off the A3102, sharing the retail park with Oak Furnitureland. The showroom's slick, the range is broad enough to be interesting, and the staff aren't the pushy commission-hunters you sometimes get in the budget chains. Nick Scali is still finding its British feet against the DFS-Sofology duopoly down the road, but Swindon is a sensible test of whether it suits you — easy parking, no weekend chaos, time to actually sit on things. Worth a pop on a comparison crawl.
Sofa Shopping in Swindon
Swindon's 10 sofa showrooms cluster mostly around the western retail belt, where Wootton Bassett Road, Telford Way and Mannington Retail Park form a workable showroom corridor. DFS and Sofology sit on Wootton Bassett Road at SN5 8WF, Nick Scali at 2a Telford Way (SN5 8WA) and Oak Furnitureland share Mannington Retail Park at the same SN5 8WA postcode, and Dunelm holds the Orbital Retail Park at SN5 7DL. ScS is on Great Western Way at SN5 7YF. HSL handles the comfort-seating end from the I O Trade Centre on Hobley Drive (SN3 4NS) on the eastern side. The interesting bit — and the reason Swindon punches harder than its reputation suggests — is the Neptune flagship plus the Neptune Outlet, both at Frankland Road in Blagrove (SN5 8YG). That outlet store is one of the few places in the country where you can get Neptune at less-than-Neptune prices, which is properly worth the trip from Bristol, Bath, Reading or Oxford if you love the brand but balk at the full RRP. John Lewis Outlet at SN2 2DY adds another factory-direct option. With 3 budget showrooms, 2 mid, 3 mid-to-high and 2 high-end, the price spread genuinely covers everything from family practical to country-house premium — rare for a town this size. Practical bits: the Orbital Shopping Park and Great Western Way are dead easy off the M4 J16, parking is free everywhere, and Swindon's roundabout reputation is mostly fine outside rush hour despite what the urban legends suggest. Combine the Neptune Outlet trip with the Designer Outlet Village and you've got a proper retail expedition on your hands. The outlet pull is the secret weapon — most cities this size don't have a luxury-discount option, and Swindon does. Magic Roundabout aside, this is a properly clever sofa-shopping town.
