The inconvenience of choosing a sofa without careful research also makes customers worried. Choosing the wrong sofa set can make the room feel cramped and uncomfortable. Therefore, when choosing to buy a sofa, do not forget to refer to our sofa buying experience.
Buying a sofa is like investing in something. You have a lot of choices and you can make mistakes. Here are things you need to keep in mind before buying a sofa according to the advice of world-famous designers.
Size
Sofas come in more sizes than you think. You should measure the length, width and height of the room before deciding to buy a sofa. If you order, you should give these measurements to the designers so they can help you choose the most suitable size.
Proportion to the ceiling
If the ceiling is about 2.5 m high, you only need a low sofa, to make the ceiling feel higher than it actually is. If the ceiling is high, you should choose a sofa with high legs and backrests to make the ceiling appear lower.
Purpose of use
Do you want the sofa to just sit and receive guests or also want to turn it into a place to take a nap, a place for you to lie down and watch TV. Many people like to take a nap on the sofa. Chairs for napping are usually designed to be about 2m long, or even longer if the room is large enough.
Try before buying
If you bring the sofa home and you are not satisfied, returning it to the store will be extremely inconvenient. Therefore, you should cut a piece of paper of the same color and size as the sofa you intend to buy and place it in the position where you intend to display the sofa to see how it looks before deciding to give the seller money.
Buy a sofa when living in an apartment
If you live in an apartment, you should measure the height of the elevator and the width of the hallway before buying. You cannot choose a chair that is longer than the height of the elevator if you do not want to not be able to bring the item into the house.
Choosing a sofa color
You don't have to choose a neutral sofa. To make the color scheme look pleasing to the eye, you should choose a sofa that is the same color as the walls, curtains, or carpet.
You also shouldn't go for trendy colors and patterns. The preference for large patterns and bright colors usually doesn't last long. Instead of choosing these colors for sofa upholstery, you can choose them for pillows, so that when you want to change, you can change them easily.
Ask for details if buying online
If buying online, you need to call customer support to ask about all the sizes, materials, etc. Product descriptions often leave out many important details, so call the retailer to get full information.
However, it's still better to go to the store yourself, because you don't know if it's really comfortable until you sit on it. Moreover, a perfect sofa is not designed to the right standards but it is suitable for your body shape and the size of the room.
Upholstery material
Just a few peeling or tearing spots, stains will make the sofa lose its value. Thick felt or velvet is cheap, quite tough and durable but easily absorbs water, dust and animal hair. Leather is durable and easy to clean but quite expensive. Simili is cleaner than fabric but also very easy to crumble and peel in humid environments.
Seat cushion
The seat cushion will determine how your guests use the sofa. If you use a sofa with two cushions, it will be difficult for a third person to sit with you. Therefore, if the sofa is long, you can use 3 cushions, if the sofa is short, use one long cushion.
