Sofas & Couches

We can’t say which sofa style is best for you because everyone’s needs are different! But here are some considerations to help them narrow down your options.

1. Style

First, consider if you want a reclining or stationary sofa. Then decide which style you prefer when finding your perfect sofa. Do you want your couch to match your existing decor or stand out?

Here are some options:

1. Mid-Century Modern Style: These have clean lines and organic curves. If you prefer minimalist and eclectic looks, this style is for you.
2. Traditional Style: If you like comfort, warmth, and familiarity, traditional is your style. Everything matches.
3. Transitional Style: Transitional style combines contemporary and traditional. They have bold colors, clean lines of modern, and details and fabrics of traditional.
4. Contemporary Style: Although they share elements with mid-century modern, contemporary couches are distinct.
5. Vintage Style: Vintage style takes inspiration from antique pieces. You’ll see details such as tufting, rolled arms, and cabriole legs. Vintage upholstery includes fabrics such as velvets, leather, and rich, saturated colors.
6. Eclectic Style: An eclectic sofa will fit your home if you like unique yet cohesive furniture pieces.

2. Color

Color choice is as important as style and material. You can make the furniture a statement piece in your room with a bright white, green, blue, or red. Or you can take a subdued approach with a more common color like gray, brown, or black. It is safer to spice up your living space with a colorful accent pillow.

3. Preferences

Next, consider your lifestyle. Do you need a super durable material that can withstand the attacks of kids and pets? If so, a leather or fabric sofa will be your best bet. Or is comfort the most important factor? Nothing beats the comfort of a reclining couch with foam cushion armrests. How will you be using it? Consider how many guests you will need to seat. Chaise lounges are a great way to increase seating.

4. Available Space

Lastly, measure the space you have available in your living room. You don’t want a massive sectional in a small apartment. If you have limited room, consider the traffic flow in and around your living room.

Sofa size is important. You don't want your living area feeling cramped. Generally, your sofa should never be more than two-thirds of your room so that you have space to walk around. Consider a loveseat or a sleeper sofa if you have a small space.

Also, measure doorways and hallways. Ensure you can move the furniture during delivery.

Before you get your ideal sofa, you’ll have to decide on a material. We’ll go over the advantages and disadvantages of each below.

• Fabric: Generally the most used material, fabric is fairly durable and long-lasting. It stains rather easily but is also very easy to clean and inexpensive.
• Faux Leather: Another option is faux leather. It offers the great look of authentic leather while being cheaper than the real thing. Additionally, it is very durable and stain-resistant. However, it requires special cleaners to maintain.
• Leather: Nothing comes close to the look and feel of genuine leather. It is a high-quality material. While it is high in price, it is durable and long-lasting. Leather sofas are also very difficult to stain and keep their gleam for a long time. If you have pets or children, a leather sofa is a good option.
• Microfiber: This material is wonderful if you want soft and comfortable furniture. It is durable and cost-effective while pleasant to sit on. Unfortunately, microfiber is also absorbent, so it stains easily. However, you can remove stains with conventional cleaners.
• Vinyl: A classic material that is also more durable than fabric, vinyl is a great choice. It is easy to clean using ordinary cleaners, inexpensive, and long-lasting.
