How Do I Choose The Right Sofa For My Living Room?

+ -

We can’t say which sofa style is best for you because everyone’s needs are different! But read on for tips, or read our guide on how to buy the perfect sofa.

1. Style

First, consider if you want a reclining or stationary sofa. Also, how will you be using it? Consider how many guests you will need to seat. Chaise lounges are a great way to increase seating.

Then decide which style you prefer when finding your perfect sofa. Do you want it to match your existing decor or stand out?

Here are some common styles:

  1. Mid-Century Modern: 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.
  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.
  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. Material

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 fabric or microfiber.

4. Available Space

Lastly, measure the length and width of 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. Leave at least 18 inches of space around the sofa for traffic flow.

A good rule of thumb: your sofa should be no longer than two-thirds of your wall space and not block doorways or windows.

What Size Couch Should You Choose?

+ -

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.

Which Sofa Material Is Best for Me?

+ -

Each sofa upholstery material offers different benefits:

  • Leather Sofas – Durable, luxurious, and easy to wipe clean. Ideal for households with pets or kids, but typically more expensive.
  • Fabric Sofas – Soft, breathable, and available in endless colors and textures. More prone to staining but often more affordable.
  • Microfiber Couches – Stain-resistant, budget-friendly, and super comfortable. A smart choice for everyday use.
  • Faux Leather – A cost-effective, low-maintenance alternative to real leather.

When choosing a material, consider your lifestyle, comfort preferences, and room aesthetic. Learn more about sofa materials here.
