So, your current sofa has seen better days and you’re looking to swap it for a new one? Maybe you’re moving house and want a couch that reflects your new interior design? Whatever the reason, your settee is the centrepiece of your living room, so it needs to look exceptional and provide the best lounging experience possible.
However, given that buying a new sofa is a sizeable investment, you should give it plenty of time and consideration before taking the plunge.
With this in mind, here’s our handy advice on how to pick a settee that ticks all your boxes.
Sofa Styles
There are numerous types of sofas available here at Sofas and Friends, but which is best for you? Let’s explore our range:
Modular Sofas
Modular sofas, also known as sectional sofas, are adaptable couches made up of individual elements that can be arranged in different layouts to suit your space.
Electric Sofas
An electric sofa is a luxury design with electric functions that allow you to extend your seat at the touch of a button. The back or footrest may move to offer the ultimate relaxation experience from the comfort of your own home.
Corner Sofas
Designed to slot perfectly into the corners of your lounge, corner sofas feature a right angle where two seating sections meet – this type is a great choice for smaller living rooms as it helps you to make the most of unused space.
U-shaped Sofas
U-shaped sofas are exactly what they say they are – they’re settees shaped in a U layout to form an enclosed seating layout. U-shaped sofas boast plenty of seating, so are perfect if you have a large family or have guests over often.
Sofa Fabric
- Linen – Linen feel couches are perfect for family homes as they’re easy to maintain and clean.
- Cotton blends – Cotton provides a super soft and cosy feel that’s fairly simple to keep in top condition. Our Tulum range features cotton sofas that look incredible.
- Quilted soft fabrics – Luxury quilting, like that used to craft our Bormio selection, offers softness and a beautiful finish unrivalled by many other fabrics.
Colour
The colour of your couch is one of the biggest considerations you’ll be making when looking to buy a sofa. After all, it needs to fit seamlessly into your home aesthetic, or be neutral enough to work in most room styles.
To help with this, we stock an impressive range of contemporary shades, including mocha, beige, or graphite, that are sure to appeal to many preferences.
Sofa Size
Finally, be sure to think about how large your settee needs to be. You can choose between 2, 3, and 4-seater sofas, but modular sofas can be adjusted to fit more.
If you have a large family or entertain guests frequently, you’ll need a bigger sofa with more seating to accommodate your needs. But if you only have a small lounge, a two-seater would be more fitting.
