10 Tips To Help You Buy The Perfect Sofa

Buying a contemporary furniture sofa is a big commitment. It is an investment that will last you for a very long time. Sofas (most of them) are big in size. They occupy a sizeable portion of your living or drawing room, making them an important decorative element in your space. As a result, selecting the right sofa to suit both your lifestyle and room décor is important.

When purchasing a new sofa, keep the following tips in mind:

#1 Color Palette:

When we think of color, we often think about ‘matching’. We insist on the sofa color matching the rest of the décor. As a result, most people settle for neutral colored sofas. Although buying a sofa in a neutral shade is your best bet, don’t be afraid of playing with color. Keep in mind, your sofa is going to be a statement piece, so adding color will make it exciting.

#2 Right Size:

Size is an important consideration. Logically, it must fit into the dimensions of your space. Your sofa shouldn’t underwhelm or overwhelm. Modern loveseat sofas range between 60 to 78 inches in width. Regular sofas have a range between 79 to 84 inches. Take appropriate space measurements before you start sofa shopping.

#3 Sofa Shape:

The lines or shape of the sofa convey the masculinity or femininity of a sofa. Typically, straight lines convey masculinity such as those seen in contemporary furniture sofas. Sofas with curved lines are considered soft and very feminine in appearance, i.e. camelback sofas.

#4 Comfort Matters:

It’s easy to get hung up on the aesthetics of your sofa but let’s not forget comfort matters too! You’ll be spending time sitting, reclining, reading, watching television and even catching an occasional nap on your sofa, so it should definitely be cozy.

#5 Cushion Appearance:

Cushions are necessary accents for a sofa. Some sofas come with them. Overstuffed cushions are comfy and casual, whereas tailored cushions give a sophisticated look.

#6 Legs:

Although it is not a requirement to have visible sofa legs, there are many practical and aesthetic benefits to having a leggy sofa. Apart from adding to the overall look, you can choose the material and design for the leg, i.e. wood, metal, modern, traditional, etc.

#7 Arm Style:

Much of the style of your sofa is dictated by the arms. Rolled arms convey a feminine or Art Deco feeling, whereas upholstered leather with square arms is considered modern and masculine.

#8 Sofa Frame:

The frame is an essential component of your sofa as it determines how long it will last. Before purchasing any sofa, sit on it, literally! Move around on it. Does it shake or wobble? There’s your indication about its quality. You ask to have a closer look at its joints and workmanship as well before making your decision.

#9 Fabric:

The kind of lifestyle you lead will determine the material of your sofa fabric. Velvets, linens, and silks are ideal for families with grown-ups. Fabric, stain-guarded twill and leather are suitable for families with children (easier to clean).

#10 Pattern:

Patterns on your sofa can look stunning in your room. Opt for a pattern that can be easily incorporated into your existing décor.

Purchasing the perfect sofa requires careful consideration of many factors, but by using these tips you will make the best purchase, guaranteed!
