5 Things to Look For In a New Sofa

5 Things to Look For In a New Sofa

When it comes to buying large pieces of furniture like dining tables, beds, and sofas, you need to do some research before committing. You’ll have to live with your decision for the next five to seven years, so choose wisely.

There are many factors to consider when purchasing a new sofa because you need to ensure that you are confident with your decision. If you are in the market for a new sofa for your living room, here are five things you should be looking for:

1) Style

The style of your chosen sofa speaks directly to your style personality. If you are a bold person who likes to take chances, your furniture choices should reflect that. If you want something big and bright, (and you have the space to do that kind of sofa justice), then you should commit to the most vibrant one available.

If you’re unsure of what statement you want to make, opt for a more neutral-looking sofa. There is no shame in buying a sofa based on comfort and design neutrality – do what is right for you.

2) Size

Before you begin your search for your next favorite place to cuddle, consider the space you have available in your living room. Measure the area you intend to fit the sofa into, allowing for clearance on either side if it going to be positioned in the center of your space.

A massively popular choice right now is a corner sofa. That way you don’t have to worry about what the sofa looks like from behind or risk the fabric fading in continuous sunlight.

3) Function

One of the most important aspects to consider before buying a new sofa is what function it needs to serve. If your living room is rarely used, and you do most of your entertaining in your dining room, then you don’t need to worry that much about the comfort aspect.

If, on the other hand, you want to build your own sectional to create a comfortable place to watch movies under a blanket with a hot cup of cocoa – your priorities will be different.

4) Comfort

Most people view their sofa as a place to get comfortable after a long day at work and veg out watching Netflix. This plan only works if you have a comfortable sofa. When choosing your next sofa, keep an eye on the varying thicknesses of the cushions – this will make or break the overall comfort rating of your sofa.

The comfort of your sofa is also determined by your choice of upholstery. Leather sofas are cooler to the touch, but they can feel a little sticky on a hot day. Velvet fabrics are always going to feel amazing, but they will make you sweat after a while in the summer.

5) Durability

If you’re a pet owner, or you have children, you will understand how important durability is when purchasing a new sofa. You need to consider your individual needs when purchasing a new sofa. If you prioritize durability over function, that is absolutely fine – just keep this in mind when you’re shopping around.
