How to Choose a Sofa for Your Home

Share this post

Traditional or modern; a sofa is an important furniture piece for every home. If chosen wisely, it can be the focal point of your living room. Aside from providing seating space, it will effortlessly augment the appearance of the entire space.

You might enter a furniture store in Mississauga to buy a lavish leather sofa or a sleek L-shaped sofa, without being sure of what’s right for your home. This post from Divano Furniture is a must-read as it provides important tips to guide you to selecting a sofa that strikes a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics.

Consider the size of your room

The first step to buying the right sofa is to check the size of your room. If you have a bigger living room, then you should select extravagant sofas like Chesterfield and Cabriole as they will occupy more floor space. On the other hand, for small living rooms, sectional sofas are the appropriate option. That’s because these furniture pieces can be arranged in parts and forms an L-shape which makes it suitable for a corner of a room.

Decide on the layout of the sofa

You should keep a sofa in the right place to utilize it properly. For instance, if your family uses the living room as a lounge, then you need to accommodate more seating areas for people to sit and relax. In doing so, you need to buy a large sofa and chairs and arrange them properly to keep enough floor space to move around. If you buy this furniture piece without considering the layout, then you may find it difficult to fit it in or you may end up cramping a small room.

Determine which sofa shape is suitable

When you’re selecting a sofa for your living or bedroom, then you should determine which shape will suit the purpose of the room. For instance, if you want to divide a living room from the dining area, then you may choose an L-shaped sofa. Also, chaise lounges which may or may not feature an arm is a popular sofa option for a bedroom.

Research on different materials

Sofas are made of different materials such as genuine leather, suede leather, nylon, polyester and wicker. You need to know the purpose of this furniture piece and then select its material. For instance, a sofa made from natural cotton or linen may look classy, but if you have pets and children at home, then this is not what you should look for. Instead, select synthetic fabric or wicker sofas which are durable, stain-resistant and easy to clean.

Select an appropriate colour

When choosing the colour of your sofa, consider the existing colour scheme of your home interiors. The rule of thumb is to create a contrast while maintaining the balance. If you have bright coloured walls, go for a sofa featuring neutral hues. But if the wall paint is soft and sombre, add a splash of colours by selecting a vibrant couch.

Choose a style based on your home interiors
