Sofa Options

When are you are considering a new couch or sofa it’s important not to settle. Your sofa will be one of the most-highly used pieces of furniture in your home, so you want to make sure that it not only provides an exceptionally comfortable experience, but that it is able to hold up to your day to day use. Before you hand over your hard-earned cash, take a moment to consider the size, material, style and price of the sofa of your dreams.

Proper Sofa Size!

Make sure your new sofa fits the size and shape of the room. A quick look around will tell you a lot about what size couch would fit best.

You don’t want to clutter a small living room, with a huge sofa that leaves no room for anything else. If you have narrow hallways or staircases, plan carefully so you are not moving a over sized sofa bed up to the living room.  Smaller rooms are a natural setting for club chairs, recliners, and loveseats while standard or sectional sofas are great for larger rooms that have room to seat an extra person. Sectional sofas can be easily set up in a number of various ways around a room.

Sofa Material and Style

Your sofa style will be influenced by the existing décor of the room. A modern or contemporary sofa could suit a room dominated by simple and clean design – smooth and straight lines, leather or upholstery, metal legs, solid colors etc. A black leather couch is a great match for modern and contemporary designs. Microfiber and fabric fit better in traditional rooms.

Sofas for prolonged lounging and relaxing often feature more plush pillows and cushions, a wide frame and ample armrest cushioning. Sofas designed as décor accents usually feature narrower width, shallow seating area, longer and more exposed legs, minimal cushioning and tighter upholstery. A great example of a lounging sofa that is ideal for home theater living rooms is reclining sectional sofas

Who will predominantly be using the sofa is a strong consideration of material. If you have children, materials that are more stain resistant or easier to clean are recommended. Loosely woven fabrics are more susceptible to snags and tears while tightly woven fabrics tend to last longer. If you family members are tall, a sofa with a wider seat might be more comfortable for them vs a sofa with a short or narrow seat.
