After a long day of work or on a lazy Sunday, the sofa is exactly where people relax, watch a movie and enjoy their families. They are also a central focal feature for most living rooms as they occupy so much space. However, finding the perfect couch can be difficult with many considerations
- Size: Depending on the size of your family or normal guests, a larger couch may be necessary. If the space is smaller, a love seat may be all the room can handle. There are many different sizes to accommodate your needs, though.
- Shape: Consider the size of the room and function of the space. L shape couches are great for open areas as they can serve as a room divider, while rounded couches are more inclusive if you’re entertaining. You can also buy a couch with matching chairs or accent chairs to achieve the same feel.
- Upholstery material: Leather couches are a bit more expensive, but more durable and easier to clean with spills and dirt. Fabric couches come in a larger variety of colors and are typically less expensive, but can be difficult to clean for those with young children or dogs.
- Color: Although whites and tans are neutral and flexible, with young children or animals it can be difficult to keep them looking their best if you’re considering a fabric couch. Browns, blacks, and dark blues are also more neutral, but do not have the stain predicaments of lighter neutrals. Bold colors keep the room interesting and fun, providing an easy way to bring lots of color to a space. In the end, select a color you won’t get sick of and is practical for your family and lifestyle.
