How To Pick The Best Living Room Sofas For Your Home

Buying living room sofas is an investment and not always an easy decision with infinite options of styles, colors and fabrics available when you’re looking for living room inspiration. The sofa is the center of a living room and around which the whole décor is created so it’s important you choose carefully the one that fits your personal taste and lifestyle. Maybe you prefer neutrals, maybe you have kids and want a durable sofa, maybe you’re looking for a two seat sofa for your small living room. Modern Sofas is here to help.

Size. If you have a small living room, make sure to measure the space so you can know if the sofa you’re picking fits your space. You should also pick something practical but a strong design since it will be the start of the room. For a big family room, think about how much of the space you want to fill with the sofa. Do you want a couple of sofas, a big sofa with chairs or a sectional?

Where? Decide where you will place the sofa. Next to a wall or in the middle of the living room. Do you want to create a social area or just place it in front of a TV? Again, if you have a large sitting room, add some chairs to create multiple seating areas.

Material. There’s a bunch of fabrics you can choose from: tufted, leather, velvet, cotton, linen, etc… If you live alone or with your partner, you can choose any of these materials according to your personal preference. But if you have kids or pets, you should probably avoid velvet, cotton and linen since they’re not very durable. Aesthetic is important, but functionality is key when it comes to choosing a material for your sofa. Leather is timeless, durable and gets better with age.

Style. Do you prefer a modern or a classic sofa? Are you a fan of vintage or minimalism? Maybe you like the look of a Chesterfield sofa or prefer a sectional.

Color. If you don’t want to experiment with colors, go for a neutral. It never goes out of style and by changing the pillows, curtains and some other décor accessories, you quickly change the whole look of your living room. But, if you’re a bold person, get a statement sofa that will be the star of your modern interior design.
