4 Factors To Look For When Choosing A New Sofa

1. Size & Shape

One of the simplest but most pressing concerns in picking out a sofa is how it will physically fit in your room. Before you visit the showroom, you should be aware of your room’s measurements and have an idea of what kind of sofa you can accommodate.

2. Style

Your sofa can say a lot about how you express yourself as a person. While some people still prefer very traditional sofas, contemporary furniture styles can offer a great mix of character and comfort with bolder looks. Do you prefer to fill your home with antiques and folksy décor, or do you enjoy more forward-thinking designs? It’s important to consider how the overall style of a sofa will fit in with what you want from your living room furniture overall.

3. Color & Pattern

Neutral colors and modest patterns can make your sofa more versatile if you change your décor in the future or simply need to move the sofa to a different room. But making a bolder choice with your sofa can add more vibrancy and pizzazz to your space than almost any other choice you can make with your living room furniture.

4. Materials & Build Quality

Your sofa isn’t just there to look at, so take your lifestyle into account. If you have kids or pets, it may be wise to look for a sturdy sofa with an easy-to-clean covering like leather or stain-guarded twill. Always ask the salesperson about the materials your sofa is made of and how it will stand up to your day-to-day use.
