How to choose the right sofa for your home

There are several types of sofas in different materials and formats, making it difficult for anyone to choose. That is why we will help you to know how to select a suitable sofa for your house. 

It's not easy to choose a couch considering the offer that exists today. Several options could even fit your home, but the truth is that the decision is not that simple. 

Many sofas could be, in fact, the ideal ones for your house. We're talking about an essential and indispensable piece to rooms like the living room, where you can always find the comfort that this kind of furniture offers.  

Therefore, our goal is to simplify your decision process so you can choose the right sofa for your home. Follow the tips we prepared and pick the ideal sofa for your space.


Choosing the room


There are several types of sofas, as well as different rooms. There is a separate sofa with totally different specifications, look, and size for each of them. 

That's why it's so important that before you go looking for the ideal sofa, you decide in which room you want to put it. If we are talking about the living room, there are some questions to be taken into account, such as the location the sofa will occupy. 

Do you want to put the sofa against a wall? Put it in the middle of the room to create a kind of separation in space? 

These are questions you have to answer before you decide since you should not choose a too big sofa for the space it will occupy or too small. 


 



The type of sofa 


Several types of sofas would fit the room you have in mind, but not all are suitable. The placement of couches is a trend that has been going on since the '80s, so it's no wonder there are still more and more types of sofas. 

There are more traditional, straight sofas, perfect for leaning against a wall or serving as a partition of space. There are those with a reclining backrest; those that form an "L," indicated to be leaned against a corner of the room, accompanying two distinct walls; sofas (modular or not) with chaise longue; sofa beds, which quickly adapt to different needs and there are also round sofas. 

These are the types of sofas seen most often, given the versatility and comfort they offer. Each one is, therefore, uniquely suited to each space they will occupy. 


 



The color 


The best way to choose your sofa's color is to take into account the decoration you already have at home. In this way, it ensures that you continue to maintain the harmony you had until then in your space. 

You should choose your sofa's color based on the room's predominant tones. You can prefer the pastel shades or bet on Classic Blue which allows you to use a very original palette of complementary colors. 

If you have the room decorated in more neutral shades, you can always choose a sofa of the same shade and risk, for example, in the choice of pillows—which may have other colors and patterns. 


 



The material 


The choice of material is another fundamental point to make your decision. There are sofas in different fabrics that offer more classic and elegant or more functional options. 

Everything depends, once again, on the decoration you already have at home. You should always respect it and ensure that the most suitable sofa for that room keeps the harmony of the decoration so far created. Therefore, you can opt for sofas in natural or synthetic leather, chenille (a soft fabric, not advised to allergic people), suede, linen, among others. 


 


Deep down, what matters most, and what influences the choice of the appropriate sofa for your home, is the space it will occupy and the decoration it will find— factors that should be taken into consideration early on. 

Of course, it's equally important that you don't ignore your taste, which will also help you make the right choice. Among the actual number of sofas, many other options are equally suitable for the room you want. 

It's the case of puffs or armchairs, for example, which can entirely replace a sofa's placement and even give a feeling of greater amplitude to the room they will occupy. 

Anyway, all of them can coexist in one room only, so don't feel obliged to opt for only one of these options. The important thing is that you have imagination during the process and respect the harmonious decoration you have already brought into the house.
