Which sofa is best for home?

The choice of the best sofa for home should be oriented at first to focus at the comfort and the seat capability, alongside the color matching and the design that must fit in the environment. Saying that, is a nice challenge to find a sofa and discover so many possibilities that the market offer, from luxury brands with a certain quality and price to average medium-cost products that respect the quality with an affordable price range.

How do I pick the right couch?

Choosing a sofa could be an amazing experience or a challenging matter finding the best solution with an affordable price. The best thing to do is first taking a look in the web in interior design pages and especially searching the best sofa brand productions, to have an idea of the shapes, sizes, colors and mood. Then I recommend investing some time going in the furniture and sofa’s showrooms to try and seat on them, starting to get on it by feeling the comfort and the seating experience. The cover is also very important and nowadays there is a large choice in fabrics and leathers, touch it and feel what covering could suites for you.

Which sofa is best for the living room?

A sofa can fit in many home spaces, from the entrance to the bedroom to living rooms. When we place a couch in the living room we must think first at the space we have available if an L shape can fit in or a linear sofa could be a better choice. If the living room is big enough then the choice can be easier going by a C shape or a wide L shape, or linear sofa placed in a parallel way facing each other, with maybe few armchairs on a side, with a central large coffee table. If the living room is not so big, then probably a linear couch is the best choice

How much should I spend on a sofa?

Finding the right sofa for your home could be an amazing experience or a challenging matter if the budget is tight. To find the best solution with a reasonable price sometimes can be stressful and if the price matter it could be an obstacle in the choice. If the budget is low as a designer, I recommend giving more importance to the couch to respect other loose furniture because the sofa is where we sit and enjoy our time in the living room watching TV, chatting with friends and for our relaxing time at home. If the budget is sufficient for a very good quality and design sofa the choice is wide and the experience buying a sofa is surely more exciting. From fabrics, we can go for leather covering, with a dramatic positive impact on the final comfort and beauty.

• Think about the softness of the seat cushions and verify if not too soft or too hard

Common mistakes when buying a sofa

A common mistake when finding the right sofa for your home could be buying by catalog and made to order, not trying the seat comfort directly in the showroom. Nowadays we like to check and shopping on the web with all the benefits that this amazing technology gives to us. But unfortunately, this is not the case like buying a journey or an airplane ticket or make a reservation in a SPA for a treatment or such services we find easy to purchase online. The comfort of a couch comes at first, so looking just the design by seeing images online could be a trap in which is easy to fall. Go in the shop trying the comfort personally is a must to avoid any bad surprise.
