Introduction
A sofa is the focal point of a living room and an important investment. Here's what to consider.
Size and layout
Measure the room where the sofa will go. Take into account doorways and staircases so that the sofa can fit in the room at all. Leave at least 40 cm of space between other pieces of furniture.
Type
Straight sofa - classic, suitable for most rooms.
Corner sofa - maximizes seating space, fits in a corner.
Modular sofa - flexible, you can move it around and combine it.
Sleeper van - for overnight guests.
Material
Fabric - warm, lots of colors, but can get dirty more easily.
Leather - durable, easy to clean, but more expensive and cooler.
Microfiber - durable, easy care, good for family with pets.
Velor – A luxurious feel but requires more maintenance.
Convenience
Try sitting on the sofa - the depth, height and angle of the back of the seat should be comfortable. Think about whether you need a pillow or open pillows.
Style and color
Choose a style that suits the general look of your home - modern, classic, rustic. Neutral colors are more timeless and easier to combine with other accessories.
