Tips to finding the perfect sofa!

17.04.2019

We started the day with great desire to start the holidays and to enjoy the spring. For these coming days of rest, we wanted to share the basic keys to choose the perfect sofa that fits our needs and our home.

In the search to find the ideal piece, we must bear in mind that it will be a piece of furniture that will not change frequently. We want to find a sofa that lasted and that fits into any environment. In addition, we must think about the space of the house and where we will place it, its size and shape. You have to be clear about the use we will give you, it will influence to choose some materials or others and the range of colors will vary.

We look for a timeless, functional, ergonomic and durable sofa. We want to apply all this without forgetting the design part, you must connect with the house and integrate with the rest of the furniture.

We will start by choosing the shape of our sofa and where it will be placed. We must think about how many people live in our house or, if we like to have guests, how many we can gather. Taking into account the space or place where it will be located, we will opt for sofas of 2 or 3 seats that can be combined. We like to choose modular sofas that we can adapt to our needs and space. It is important to take into account the backrest and seat of the sofa, its hardness or dimensions will vary depending on the use that we are going to give it. Try it before you buy it and make sure it’s comfortable!

Our next recommendation is to opt for more neutral colors, select a color palette that does not get dirty. We will choose earth tones, camel, beige with a higher tone or dark grays. Look for a color that transmits peace of mind and, if your idea is more daring, choose tile or ocher colors to add personality to your home.

When choosing the fabric it is important to have thought that we are looking for. It must be taken into account if we have pets or children. Depending on the textile will help us to make our sofa last more or less time. Look for materials that can be easily cleaned or that do not easily absorb the residues that may fall on it.

The last recommendation is to add accessories to the sofa without hesitating to add different colors and patterns. A good selection of cushions and blankets will give the final touch we are looking for. Change them at each time of the year and create a connection between your home and the outdoors. We like to place this kind of accessories in a casual and informal way, in a way that makes our house more warm and comfortable.

We hope you were inspired by the sofas chosen for some of our projects and that you can find your ideal sofa. Have a great vacation!
