What to consider before buying a sofa for your space

by Kishan Modanwal 09 Feb 2023 1 comment

The sofa is unquestionably the most important piece of living room furniture. It's a big piece that has a significant impact on the room's overall appearance in addition to being a place where you can watch and relax. So, indeed, the sofa should be your first consideration when decorating a living room. But what should you consider before buying it?


The steps to take into account when purchasing a sofa are listed below:


  • DESIGN AND STYLE
  • Determine the general design of your living space before embarking on the process of purchasing a sofa. Whether you're starting from scratch or whether you already have a certain aesthetic in mind and want to stick with it may affect how you approach this. Given that your upholstery will be there for a while, it's important to make a very good decision that will enhance your long-term plans for the space.


    To do this, You would like to create a moodboard of the room as You visualize it in your thoughts, in order to convert into the fabric and design decision. Think about whether you want the sofa to be the focal point of the room by using a striking fabric or print, or whether you prefer it to serve as more of a plain supporting piece. Either one, can sometimes be simpler, and you can then alter your design and throw pillows whenever the mood strikes.


    1. PERFECT SIZE

    It's not just about how much space a sofa will take up when       determining its size for your room. It also pertains to the passageway   that you must pass the sofa through (doorways, stairs etc). If there is a tight fit, take into consideration a modular design. You should choose a low sofa if your ceilings are low so that it appears that they are higher than they actually are. Consider using a light and vibrant cloth if your space is small.

    1. COMFORT 

    A sofa's interior components are equally as essential as its outside. While foam or fibre fillings may eventually flatten out and lose their shape, feather-filled cushions are extremely comfortable but do require frequent firming. If you want a soft sofa to cuddle up on or a sturdier design, the quality of the cushions is vital because they are the component of the sofa you interact with the most. Putting the two, with firm and fluffy back cushions, strikes the perfect balance.


    1. DURABILITY

        A sofa's construction and quality are key, so in addition to thinking   about how wonderful it will look, you must pick and choose the frame. Invest as much as you can on a high-quality frame because it will last you for many years of relaxing. And before you buy, give importance to the guarantee; some makers are so assured of their frames that they include lifetime assurance. A sturdy wooden frame is a good choice, but metal or plywood construction must be avoided. Lastly, think about where the sun will shine on it. If the sofa will be near a window, opt for a synthetic fabric rather than a natural one because the latter may fade in direct sunlight.


    1. TRY YOURSELF

         Nowadays, purchasing furniture online is normal, but when you can, check the sofa out for yourself in the store. This is because various designs, textiles, and stuffing may feel completely different while sitting. If possible, request a fabric piece that is larger than the typical sampler when picking a sofa in-store. When you get home, lay the fabric where the sofa will be and check it out in varying illumination, including natural and artificial light. You'll be able to determine how well the colour compliments your environment. A few people should sit on the sofa in the showroom, just to check how it holds up.
