Five Tips for Choosing the Right Sofa
A Quality Sofa Can Enhance the Rest of Your Chattanooga Living Room Furniture
Shopping for a new sofa can be overwhelming. Of course, you want to choose one that will be comfortable. But it has to look great too. There are so many choices to make. You have to consider fabrics, weigh style options and know that it’s high quality. When you know what to look for the process is a lot less stressful. So before you start shopping read these five tips on how to choose the right sofa for your home so you can make a decision you’ll be happy with for years to come.
First, know your measurements. This simple bit of knowledge will keep you from making a mistake. Knowing the measurements of the room, as well as space where you will place the sofa, will make it much easier to choose the right one. As a general rule, it shouldn’t be so small that it gets lost in the space or so big that the room feels crowded.
Next, consider how you use the space. It is a room where you spend time watching TV or is it a space for entertaining guests? Do you like to kick back with your feet up or is it a more formal space? Knowing the answers to these questions is important. For example, if this is a space for gathering to watch a football game you might be more inclined to choose a sofa with built-in recliners.
Now, think about who will be using the sofa. This is key when choosing a fabric. For example, if there are children or pets in the home you will need something that’s low maintenance and easy to clean. Sunbrella and Revolution fabrics are both excellent choices. These heavy-duty fabrics have many designer options. With these stylish performance fabrics, you just can’t go wrong.
You can’t forget to consider the style. If you’re planning to keep other pieces in the room then you will need a sofa that works with those styles. Also, think about what direction you want to the room to go. For example, if your goal is to update the space then stay away from traditional elements such as a skirt and opt for something with a more tailored look.
Finally, look for a sofa with high-quality construction. Often, what makes a sofa so valuable is what you can’t see. When shopping for a sofa ask about the frame, the spring system and warranty. Steel springs and eight-way-hand-tied spring systems are always an indicator that the sofa is well made.
