How to Buy The Right Sofa

There is no doubt about the role of the sofa in your home, whether, in the living room or office, it will always occupy a prominent place. Versatile, the couch can perform numerous functions, from accommodating the family and their visitors for a good chat or watching some TV programming to serving as a bed for any guests.

In addition, the sofa also has the function of delimiting the space in the environment concerning the rest of the furniture, serving as a parameter for the coffee table, armchairs, rug, rack, etc.

However, the type of furniture has many different configurations, sizes, and shapes, depending on the purpose you want to give to the piece. Therefore, besides the aesthetic highlight, it provides to the decor, it can bring many other advantages.

On the other hand, it is common to doubt when choosing a suitable model with so many aspects to consider. And it will all depend on your needs, available space, personal taste, existing decor, and, of course, your budget.

So, when choosing the perfect sofa for your living room or office, follow our tips below:

1 – Define the environment in which the couch will be used

When choosing the ideal sofa, the first step is to determine where it will be used: the type of environment, living room, TV room, guest bedroom, or office.

This is because the environment will directly influence the type of sofa and its purpose. A sofa for a TV room, for example, should be soft and deep and can even be stretched by a chaise for greater comfort.

On the other hand, the same sofa would not be ideal in a living room, which is more focused on socializing with family or friends for a chat. Very deep, softer sofas can make it more challenging to sit and stand.

In this case, as the priority is to receive visitors, we prefer firmer seats with standard height (around 45cm), less deep (approximately 90cm), and with straighter backs.

And in the case of an office or guest room, perhaps the sofa could have the same features as above, but be retractable or sofa-bed type.

Finally, if the environment is multipurpose, with several functions – receiving, watching TV, and hosting – you have the option of mixing all these characteristics: a firmer and less deep sofa, but with a part with a chaise that stretches and can serve as a sofa bed.

Another tip is to maximize space by using puffs to add even more comfort and stretch your feet, as well as comfortable pillows.

2 – Choose the sofa model based on utility

Another essential factor to be considered is the sofa model concerning its usefulness. Like the environment, defining what you expect from the sofa is essential for it to be helpful. As we saw above, each model will play a specific role, depending on the environment in which it will be placed.

Retractable or reclining sofa

A retractable or reclining sofa model has the advantage of adapting to your needs of the moment, that is, reclining when you want to relax more comfortably, stretching your legs, or lying down to take a nap.

Fixed sofa

The fixed sofa option is the most straightforward and most traditional, as it structurally does not have seat and back movement. It is a prevalent choice, as it is easy to be inserted in any environment, even smaller, with the possibility to choose between 2 to 3 places, or even more, depending on the available space.

Sofa bed

This model is worth the investment, especially for those who live in a house or apartment with little space or fewer rooms. Currently, several models are very comfortable, both when used for sitting and receiving and for sleeping. It can be incorporated into various environments, whether a living room, bedroom, or office.

As well as the retractable and reclining, the sofa bed also allows you to move the structure to become a bed and vice versa very quickly. A convenient solution for those who usually receive guests or do not have several spaces. They can be found in double or single versions in various models.

Corner sofa

Suppose space is not an issue in your home. In that case, the corner sofa is an excellent choice, as it was designed to accommodate several people (4, 5, or 6 seats, and variations) and has several different configurations, offering more possibilities to explore the functional space of the room.

Another advantage is that, although it takes up more space as it is a larger piece, the “L” shape helps bring people closer to the environment, making it excellent for entertaining visitors. They can be found in fixed, retractable, or chaise models, which can be on the right or left side of the piece, as needed.

3 – Determine the ideal size of the sofa

The size of the sofa will be determined by the space available in your room. The best thing to do is measure the room as a whole and make a floor plan with all the furniture you want to combine. If it’s on a better scale, then try to write down the measurements of everything.

Consider a minimum of 60 cm free on each side of the sofa, in addition to the circulation space between other furniture, such as armchairs, coffee tables, and corner tables. 2-seat sofas, for example, usually measure around 160 cm, and 3-seat sofas around 200 cm.

Try to avoid sofas with a depth greater than 100 cm in smaller rooms. Sofas with exposed feet give an impression of lightness to spaces and work well in small spaces. Don’t forget to measure the width of doors, elevators, stairs, and other passages to ensure the sofa can be delivered without difficulty.
