Do you know these tips for find the perfect sofa?
Just as the bed is the main feature of the bedroom, the sofa is the main feature of the living room.
This piece is one of the most essential in the home, especially during the colder months when our life is much more limited to the interior of our home. But it is also essential during the rest of the year, as the sofa is that inseparable companion that provides us with the moments of leisure and relaxation that we need so much at the end of the day.
The sofa is an essential piece of furniture from a functional point of view but also from an aesthetic point of view due to its large size. That is why it must be a practical, comfortable and comfortable piece of furniture, but also beautiful and in keeping with the rest of the furniture in the living room. How to find the perfect sofa? From our interior design studio in Mallorca we create integral projects in which all the furniture pieces are included but also, today we want to give you these tips that will help you to choose the sofa for your home.
Follow these tips to choose the perfect sofa
Many times people make the mistake of buying a very beautiful sofa, with an innovative design but without trying it out, without measuring its dimensions or without assessing whether it matches the predominant colours in the living room.
That is why you should consider some aspects to find the perfect sofa for you:
1.- How many people are going to use it?
You don’t need the same sofa for someone who lives alone as you do for a large family who will require a larger and more resistant sofa.
Therefore, sometimes it doesn’t make much sense to buy a chaise lounge sofa if you live alone as it will take up too much space in the living room for the use you are going to make of it, but it is a good option if you are a large family that needs more seating space.
2.- Are you one of those who meet daily in the living room?
It is also important to consider how and what you use the living room for and the kind of life you lead in this room.
If you are in the habit of watching TV as a family every night, you will need a much sturdier sofa, especially if it has also become a play area for the little ones in the house.
If you frequently receive visitors, you can opt, for example, for a sofa bed and so you will have extra space for your guests to sleep.
3.- Always try it out before you buy it
A sofa has to be comfortable above all else, although some people prefer to sacrifice this aspect and opt for an ideal sofa even if it is a little uncomfortable afterwards.
As we said, the sofa is a big enough piece to choose one that makes the living room more beautiful and has the desired ambience. But for us it is essential to decorate a home to really live and enjoy it and, in this sense, the perfect sofa is the one in which you feel really comfortable and cosy. That’s why we advise you to try it out before making your final decision, so you don’t buy a sofa that you don’t feel comfortable using.
4.- When in doubt, opt for a fabric that is easy to clean.
You can’t use your sofa every day and be afraid of it getting stained. And much less, cover it with a blanket or a sofa cover so that it doesn’t get damaged. As we said, furniture should be lived in and enjoyed, which is why it is best to always opt for a sofa with an AquaClean fabric. This upholstery is easily washable with a little water and stains are removed quickly and effortlessly. If you have small children, this option is almost a must.
With these recommendations we hope we have helped you find the perfect sofa for your living room. Our team of decorators and interior designers have much more to offer you on this subject, so don’t hesitate to contact them via the telephone number you will find on the gHouse website.
