You and Your Sofa

Finding the best sofa for your living room can be tricky. The problem comes when you’re just not sure where to start with your search. There is so much choice everywhere and it’s like being a kid in a sweet shop. Do you want a traditional or modern look? Two or three-seater? Leather or fabric? Before you even set foot in a showroom, the sheer amount of choice is overwhelming indeed. And even when you have a rough idea of the look or style you want, there’s a whole wealth of other things to consider too. How can you ensure the quality of the construction? Will it offer the kind of comfort and support you’re after? Will the upholstery look as good five or ten years down the line? Our guide aims to make the process a little easier by breaking down all the key things you need to know before splashing out a lot of hard-earned money. The first thing to think about is where your sofa is going to fit. What manufacturers refer to as small, medium or large can vary enormously, but here’s a rough guide. Discover more here

* Small – a two-seater sofa is approximately 152cm – 174cm wide * Medium – a two to three-seater sofa is approximately 174cm -191cm wide * Large – a three to the four-seater sofa is approximately 205cm – 214cm wide It’s worth working out whether you would like only sofas or a mix of sofas and chairs, taking into consideration how many people you want seating for in total and how much space you’ll have left. Note a room overcrowded with furniture is never a good look. So make sure you do your own research and be happy as at the end of the day it is ultimately your decision as you will be living with it. Also, think about whether the shape works with the style of your home. For example, high backs go well in rooms with high ceilings, while corner sofas look good in larger living spaces and make for a good divider in open-plan homes. Also, consider if you’ll need your sofa to double up as a bed too as you may be in a small apartment and have got enough space.
