The right furniture can bring a room to life. A sofa can be the cornerstone of a living room or home theater. When shopping for one, you’ll need to consider comfort level and interior design. Here’s how to find the perfect fit for your home.

What to Consider When Choosing a Sofa 

1. Size

The sofa should fit comfortably in the room where it’s placed. The available space can determine whether a two- or three-seater is the right option.

Measure the area to find the perfect dimensions. Also, consider the amount of walking room you need when making the decision.

2. Shape

While most people picture these furniture pieces as relatively basic in their design, there is some variation. The standard straight option is the most popular choice, but other varieties can be preferable in the proper circumstances. For example, an L-shaped model could fit nicely in a corner, while a curved model is perfect for placing in front of a round table.

3. Material

Since sofas are primarily used for lounging and relaxing, they should be comfortable. Plush material has the consistency that allows a person to sink down into it. 

However, this shouldn’t be the only consideration when it comes to the material. If your sofa is going to take a lot of wear, such as from pets or kids, consider leather.

4. Color

When picking a piece of furniture for an existing room, it should always match the design and color scheme. A classic black sofa will almost always fit in with any decor.

For a more vibrant look, go with light yellows or blues, or even white, as long as you’re willing to do a little extra cleaning to maintain it. To accent basic blacks or whites, add colored pillows that match carpets, drapes, and flowers.
