How To Choose The Best Sofa

Grey corner Sofa in white room and wooden floor

One of the easiest ways to choose a new sofa for your home or office is to start by deciding which is your favourite brand.

You can then select the fabric, colour and style according to your preferences. It’s also necessary to consider the purpose of your sofa and where it will be placed. Of course, at a basic level all sofas provide the same function, which is to allow you to sit or rest, but spending time considering what your priorities are when it comes to purchasing a sofa, will help you filter out what you don’t want. This means you will have a much easier time choosing from your narrowed down selection.

If you’re looking to buy something for a formal living room or for a formal office waiting area, then an upright back will ensure your guests are comfortable and supported whilst waiting. If you live in an open planed home with a large kitchen lounge area, your new sofa needs to make a statement and have a strong presence within the room,

This enables the space to look inviting, as many sofas can look lost in such a large open area. A comfortable soft seating area with two or three sofas surrounding a central point for example a TV of fireplace works well. The other option would be a corner sofa or a modular sofa with extra seating and back cushions, that way the sofa gives you the option of hosting many more guest in comfort, than a regular two or three seater sofa.

How to choose the best Sofa

You need to keep in mind whilst selecting a sofa where your sofa is going to be placed and what size you want to select, as a small, medium and large sofa can vary in size according to the brand and look very different depending on the space you have within your home.

The size guide is as follow: 

It’s also wise to figure out beforehand whether you would like to place just a sofa within your home, or a sofa and a mix of armchairs. Taking into account how many people you want seating for in total and how much space you have in your home or office.

Also, think about the shape you would like and what will work with the style of your home and interior design. The different shapes a sofa is made in as mentioned previously are corner sofas and modular sofas, plus chesterfield, tuxedo, camel back, loveseat, cabriole, chaise lounge, knole, sofa beds, mid-century modern, English rolled arm and lawson sofas. Take the time to also think about the colour and material you would like the sofa to come in.
