When it's time to buy a new sofa, you will find a world of options to consider. Finding the perfect sofa can add style, function and comfort to your living room. It is a good idea to measure your space and understand the options that will enhance your lifestyle. Look for standard sofas and loveseats with a traditional feel, roomy sectionals perfect for an open concept layout and space-saving sofa beds.
Here are some practical tips for choosing the perfect sofa for your living room.
1. Know Your Dimensions
Before you buy a sofa, it is important to make sure it will fit well in your space. Standard sofas come in lengths from 70" to 84", while sectionals can be much larger, depending on the sections you choose. If your space is limited, you may want a loveseat that can be as small as 58".
2. Enhance Your Lifestyle
When you choose the right sofa, you are adding practical furniture that will contribute to your comfort and serve the purpose you need. Rounded edges and stain resistant performance fabrics are ideal for households with children and pets. Comfortable sofas with ergonomic designs provide support for your neck and back, while sofas featuring hidden built-in storage can help keep your living room neat and tidy.
3. Think about Design
Since your sofa is likely to be the focal point of the living room, think carefully about the sofa style. If you have a traditional home, you can choose a sofa with a wood frame or a dramatic Chesterfield with deep tufting and rolled arms. Formal Camelback sofas add elegance to a traditional home. For a modern look, search for sofas with straight lines and neutral colors like black, white, beige and gray. Today's on-trend contemporary sofas feature curves and bold colors.
4. Choose Motion Features
If you have the space, think about sofas that provide motion features that lift your legs, support your back and allow you to adjust your headrest. Power recliners can change your position with the touch of a button. Space saving reclining sofas with a wall hugging feature can provide motion features, even if your room is small.
5. Consider a Sleeper Sofa
If you need additional sleeping space for family members or occasional guests, a sleeper sofa is ideal. Sleeper sofas offer attractive and comfortable seating by day, and transform into a bed at night. Simply set the sofa cushions aside and then pull out the hidden mattress and bed frame.
