A sofa is not just an interior item. It gathers the whole family around it in the evenings, guests, friends or simply serves as a sleeping place.
Therefore, the sofa should be comfortable and convenient, and it should also fit into the interior.
Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, told us what details to pay attention to when choosing a sofa.
The most important thing is the dimensions
It’s not that you can’t bring new furniture into the apartment through the doorway.
The dimensions of the sofa should fit harmoniously into the layout of the room. At a minimum, there should be free space to move around the room.
This means that the sofa should not block the passage or be restrictive in any other way.
Depth and convenience
If the length and width are generally satisfactory, pay attention to the depth of the seats.
If the back is very far from the edge of the seat, then sitting on the sofa and getting up from it will not be very comfortable.
Materials
If we talk about the frame, it would be better if it was wood. The sofa will last longer if polyurethane foam and spring blocks are used as filler.
The upholstery must be wear-resistant, practical, and if there are cats in the house, then also vandal-proof.
Style
The most comfortable and functional sofa should match the style. Here you need to consider the shape of the furniture and the color of the fabric.
