A seat is one of the most used pieces of furniture in the home - and thus an investment you enjoy every day. Whether you like to snuggle down with a series, have homely dinners with friends or want a cosy place where children play: the right sofa makes all the difference.
Start with your space
How big is your living space? How does the passageway run? How many people need to be able to sit comfortably? Measure beforehand and make a quick sketch if necessary. Think about:
- walking space along the seat
- view of TV/window/fireplace
- space for coffee tables or footstools
A mistake many people make: buying a sofa that is too small. A generous shape often just makes a room warmer and cosier.
The right fabric for your family
With children, pets or intensive use, it's better to choose low-maintenance. Tip: choose earth tones or soft neutrals - timelessly beautiful, and less prone to stains than white or black. The perfect sofa is comfortable, high-quality and fits your lifestyle, not just your Pinterest mood board.
- microfibre: super strong, easy to clean
- bouclé: warm and chic, surprisingly hard-wearing
- velvet with easy-clean coating
