A FEW INTERESTING TIPS TO SELECT BEST SOFA SETS

 You won’t find a single home without a sofa or sofa sets, be it in India or anywhere in the world. Your living room can never be complete without a sofa set.


In earlier days, choosing the right set of sofas for your living room furniture was kind of a Herculean task. Walking into one furniture shop and then coming out and then going into another shop in some other area. But now online stores have made things much easier. Just type your query, choose and pay, and you will get all your favourite furniture at your doorstep.


Internet technology has made choosing a sofa set very easier. There are plenty of articles and blogs available online which can guide you to make the right choice.


So, coming back to sofas, they have always been the focus of our living rooms. They come in a variety of shapes, styles, colours and sizes such as L-shaped sofas, transitional sofas, corner sofas, sofa cum bed, Chesterfield, Tuxedo, modern and classic. They are either hand made or machine made


One can say that if there’s no sofa in your room, you can't relax and enjoy the TV. And because you spend so much time relaxing and chatting on it, it needs to be comfortable, strong and durable.


Now, what kind of sofa you are looking in mainly depends on the size of your living room and your budget. As sofas are the center point of your room, you need to be extra careful while choosing one.


The moment you spot a sofa at bricks and mortar stores or an online store, the first thing you will see is its design. Afterall, its fabric colour and design should match with your living room furnitures and accessories.


But there are few other important things than design which we think you should look at before buying a sofa:

Frame: Teakwood and timber has been in demand since more than centuries when it comes to durability of wooden furniture. But presently, maple, oak wood, cherry and cedar are in demand. These woods are long-lasting and durable. A strong and durable frame of sofa ensures that it can last for decades.


Size: No need to say that the size of the sofa you choose should be according to your living room space. Ideally one 3-seat sofa with 3 chairs should be enough for a small living room. But if you have a large living room, you can take the liberty of having a 5-seater and other cabinets and side tables.


Springs: Did you ever notice the floating experience while sleeping or sitting on the sofa? This bounciness comes from the springs. So, it's very necessary to check the quality and make of the springs of the sofa that you intend to buy. Eight-way-hand-tied springs are the best but serpentine springs are also good and cost-effective.


Style: Currently there are plenty of sofa styles to choose from. To name a few for you just to assist you in your choice:

  • Classic Sofas: Settee, Chesterfield and Cabriole.

  • Modern Sofas: Daybed, Chaise and Mid-Century.

  • Transitional Sofas: Tuxedo, Lawson, English Roll Arm.


Fabric: You need to choose sofa fabric according to your wall colour and floors.  Fabrics such as linen and cotton are the best option. Leatherette, silk and canvas provide a more rich and elegant look. Choosing the right kind of fabric with colour is also important, especially if you have pets or children at home then you can choose tight and dark shades.
