How to pick the right sofa

The sofa is definitely one of the most expensive and powerful pieces of your home ….It defines your main room, it is the focal element of your living room and a place where you relax and spend many of the most important moments of your home…It is the piece that you need to pay attention to while purchasing in order to be exactly what you want it to be…Below I have some guidelines on how to pick the right sofa.

Comfort

Go for comfort …Whatever this might mean to you …Some people like their sofa really cushy and loungy; others prefer a stiff straight-back experience…understand what best fits your needs and go for it full-hearted …The sofa is where you spend most of your relaxing times and if you cannot do that then there is something wrong …Pick a sofa with a beautiful -but practical- upholstery that won’t make you nervous or forbid you from enjoying the best of your living room ..Tweets, velvets, leathers, knits, suedes are great options for a quality sofa.

Size Matters

Do not look into buying the biggest and grandest sofa there is out there; even if you have the space….Try to understand your space… Sometimes proportions require smaller more compact sofas and you can always accent the room with trendy armchairs…As a rule of thumb, the more boxy your sofa is the more creative your accent chairs need to be, in order to complement the space and make it appear more interesting

Small spaces

On the other hand, if you have a smaller space, then maybe you might want to think about an armless sofa …Beautiful side tables will serve as great resting spots on each side and you can get creative by using trendy designs that will add to the décor…Lower coffee tables are always a must in a smaller space; they allow freedom of movement as well as declutter the room
