Four steps to choosing the perfect sofa
1. Size and layout of the living room: your sofa's dimensions will depend on the space in your living room. Grab a pencil and paper and draw a plan of your living room and the furniture within it: sofa, coffee table, side tables... with the measurements of each element you’ll know how much space you have available and can figure out the best size sofa. Bear in mind that the ideal amount of space between the sofa and coffee table is 45 cm.
2. Type of sofa: now that you know how much space is available and the potential position, it’s time to decide how many people will sit on your sofa and how it’ll be used. Are you a couple, or a large family? Do you spend a lot of time at home, or a little? With these details in mind, you can decide which type of sofa you need: two, three or four-seater, corner sofa, chaise longue, modular, etc.
3. Fabric: how frequently you use your sofa will determine the fabric that best suits your lifestyle. If you have children and/or pets, fabrics with stain-resistant finishes or removable covers, they’ll save the day on plenty of occasions.
4. Style: it’s important that the design of your sofa suits the look of your home or your living room. For Scandinavian or minimalist styles, sofas with straight lines will be a great match. For mid-century or vintage interiors, a sofa with velvet covers will be the key.
