HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOFA

December 18, 2024

 

1.Ask Yourself a Few Questions

If you want to buy the sofa you want, make sure you know what you are buying it for. To do this, ask yourself the following questions:

  • How many people is the sofa designed for?
  • Do you need one large sofa or a smaller sofa and an armchair that will work better together?
  • What will you use it for? (for lounging, as a bed, for studying, dining, working, etc.)
  • What is your budget?
  • What color do you need, in relation to your interior?

Thinking about these questions will help you choose the sofa you want. As first thought, it is easy to like it at first glance, but it is necessary to take into account the parameters and the answers to the questions listed above.

2. THE RIGHT SHAPE

The shape of your room and the layout are going to really limit what shape of sofa is right for you. Of course, you have some control over the layout of your furniture but there is not much you can do about the position of the doors and windows so a room will normally scream out to you where the sofa should go and what shape it should be. For example, A small, narrow living room typical of a Victorian home will suit one long sofa against the back wall. A squarer room may suit two smaller sofas sitting opposite each other, this is great for a conversational, sociable space.

A corner sofa suits an open plan space or a larger living room where you have two perpendicular walls uninterrupted with doorways or windows. Or if there are windows just make sure your sofa sits lower than them so they don’t block any light.

3. THE RIGHT SIZE

Now you need to measure up to see the maximum size and minimum size you should be looking at. Of course, you don’t want a sofa that’s too big but it’s also just as bad to have one that’s too small for the space. So have a look at the space where your sofa will be going and think about what size will suit the space. If it’s along wide wall you need a wide sofa so that it feels in proportion, getting a smaller sofa would actually make the room look smaller. Also consider your coffee table, if you are going for a coffee table in front of your sofa make sure your sofa isn’t going to be too deep, to accommodate it. Ideally, you need 60cm between your sofa and your coffee table. Also just check what height sofa you are after. This will depend on how tall people are in your household but maybe you also have a radiator that you don’t want poking out of the top, so consider a taller sofa to conceal it. So, by now, you should have your minimum and maximum width, depth and height.

4.COLOUR COORDINATING

Have a look around the room and see what existing colors you have to work with. It may be that you are redecorating completely, if so then choose your sofa first, it’s far easier to match a paint color to a sofa than the other way around. But chances are you will have things in the room like a rug, or some blinds that your new sofa will have to get along with.
