How to choose a sofa that will not only meet your needs and preferences, but also will not cheapen the interior?
If you don't want to order the services of a designer, you will have to delve into the specifics of the choice yourself. And you should start with the most important.
5 factors to pay attention to first
1. Size
Before choosing a sofa, decide on its size. If you have a small room, choose a compact sofa that will not take up much space.
If you have a large room, choose a larger sofa to fill the space. Disproportionate furniture makes the decor look much cheaper, and this is immediately noticeable.
2. Material
Expensive materials do not always look expensive. A bulky leather sofa in a two-room apartment rather speaks of the owner's bad taste. Such a sofa needs a large country house or a billiard room in an elite hotel.
But a small sofa upholstered in quality fabric will fit perfectly into most apartments or small houses. This solution looks extremely stylish and does not "press" with its status.
3. Color
Even if a bright, beautiful color is in fashion at the time of purchase, still choose a model in neutral colors. A sofa is not bought for one or two years, and fashion changes every season. In three years, your spectacular bright red sofa will turn into bad taste. And neutral tones, even if not in fashion, always look stylish.
You can add some color with pillows or a bedspread. Plus, they can be easily changed according to fashion trends.
4. Model
Massive solid products have long been out of favor with both designers and ordinary people. But light laconic models are gaining popularity. They are comfortable, practical, suitable for small rooms and do not weigh down the space.
5. Brand
Brand is an important element when choosing furniture, but in order for the product to look expensive, it is not necessary to choose an expensive brand. Here, first of all, you need to look at the quality. Perhaps it makes sense to consider the option of custom-made. A good craftsman will make a quality sofa that will perfectly fit into your interior. And a good custom-made thing always looks expensive.
Don't rush to buy the first sofa you see that you like. There is a huge selection of models and manufacturers now, the range of which can be viewed by simply entering the corresponding request in the search bar.
Look at photos and videos of interiors, models of sofas themselves in different catalogs, think about what you would like your living room to look like and what sofa fits the interior you have. And only after that should you make a purchase.
