When choosing a sofa consider important factors such as size, comfort and style. “The ideal sofa can be the centerpiece of your living space and the center of your design,” says Tori Jones an interior designer. This tan love seat would be a great option for a neutral or modern space. Size Knowing what to look for in sofa and couch can assist you in choosing the ideal piece for your home. From the width of the sofa to the armrest height, dimensions of the couch play a role in the design, comfort and utility. Use the benchmarks below to compare the standard sofa sizes and find the perfect sofa that matches your personal style. The number of guests who will be sitting on your sofa should also be considered when deciding on the size. A couch designed for two people may need more padding than a sofa designed for five or more people. Think about how often you intend to use your sofa. The wear and tear caused by family movie nights or hosting guests may require a different type of upholstery and construction materials than a couch used only sparingly. Painter's tape can be used to determine the size of the space where you're planning to put your sofa. This visual guide will allow you see how the sofa will fit in and will allow you to make adjustments if needed. To avoid the sofa crowding your living room You should make sure you leave at minimum 30” of space in the front. It is possible to alter the sofa's size to fit into the space. However this is challenging and requires the assistance of a professional. When measuring the footprint for a sofa, take into consideration the dimensions and the height of the cushion for the seat as in addition to the height of the back cushion. To get a more accurate measurement using a straightedge, draw a line between back of the couch and the front edge of seat cushion. Alternatively, you can measure the depth of the diagonal by placing an edge straight at the highest point of the back of the sofa and measuring from the bottom corner opposite up to the point at which the lines drawn by the straight edge and the couch meet. Comfort It's important to feel comfortable when you're looking for a small sofa. A good sofa will transform your living space into a comfortable place to relax, whether reading an ebook or watching a movie with your family. Consider the seat depth and high back cushions when looking for the most comfortable sofa. Those often overlooked proportions can determine the comfort, according to Natasha Adams, a home and lifestyle writer for Better Homes & Gardens. You'll also want to decide if you prefer a fixed back, a scatter back or cushioned option. Fixed backs are generally more formal. Scatter backs have a more relaxed appearance. Cushioned couches are ideal for homes with children and pets, as they're easy-to-clean. If you want to make your small sofa the focal point of your living space, choose the leather option. This material is long-lasting and will last for a long time, while looking good. It's also available in a variety of different colors making it a great option for modern and contemporary decor styles. If you're looking for something more classic or transitional the fabric couch could be the ideal choice. Upholstery fabric is another important factor that will determine the comfort of your small couch. Pottery Barn offers a large range of upholstery fabrics to choose from, so you're bound to find the right one to match your space. If you have pets or children, a sofa made of performance fabric could be the best option because it's easy to clean and stain resistant. Finally, if you're concerned about a small couch's overall durability, look for models that have been certified by the Greenguard Environmental Institute. This certification signifies that the couch meets certain requirements for environmental protection like low VOC emissions and no off-gassing. The Greenguard program also comes with an insurance policy that protects against fire, stains, and odors for a period of up to 10 years. Additionally, many manufacturers provide an additional year of protection under their own warranties. They are available in the fine print section of the product details. Style If you're looking for a small sofa, choose one with plenty of style. A sofa with a sleek silhouette will add to the airy feeling of your room and a contemporary, button-tufted design adds a sophisticated appearance. The fabric used on this sofa is a soft, gray hue that will easily coordinate with many color schemes. The seat is spacious enough to be comfortable for lounging and classic track arms add an elegant look to this couch. The sofa has an upper console that includes numerous functions to enhance your viewing experience.

The console also has a 110V power outlet as well as USB ports for convenient charging. The sofa is covered in corduroy fabric. It also has side pillows to add comfort. A settee is a great option for those with small spaces, since it occupies less floor space than a traditional sofa. This settee from Pottery Barn is the perfect option for a studio or loft upstairs, because it can be used by up to three people. The light-gray fabric is a great match for any home. The stitching details add a touch of refinement. The tiny couch's reversible sectional can be set up either on the right or left side. This makes it a great choice for a variety of living rooms. Its understated supremely comfortable cushioning and soft back cushions give it a luxurious vibe. The sectional is a wonderful option for a modern or transitional home. Before you buy a new sofa, you should measure the width and depth of your space to make sure it will fit properly. If you're purchasing a corner sofa or L-shaped piece, it's crucial to take the size of your doorway when measuring. If the tallest part of the sofa is too high for a doorway, consider purchasing a set in pieces that are separate or ask your retailer about shipping options. A little planning before you buy will save you a lot of heartache later on. Storage There are a variety of storage options for your couch which is an essential piece of furniture. Some storage options are as simple and easy as adding couple of baskets to store magazines, remote controls, and other items to be at hand. Others are built into the furniture and serve multiple purposes. For instance the Linsy Rubik III is a modular sofa that features two ample drawers for keeping clutter out of the living room. It also comes with a charging port to make it easier for you to charge your devices. You can also find sofas that can be converted into beds for your kids or guests like the Joybird Briar. The futon-style sleeper sofa is available in a variety of upholstery fabrics and sizes to suit your taste and space needs. Alternatively, you can use an ottoman-style storage unit that doubles as an end table and comes with plenty of hidden space for pillows, blankets and other things. Some people choose a sofa with open cubbies underneath, which can be used to store things like blankets, throw pillows and books. This is a great method to store items that you don't use all the time but you aren't ready to let go of. It's also a good choice for larger items that you'd like to keep away from view but still easily accessible, such as bulkier sports equipment or outdoor gear. Another popular alternative is to buy a sectional with the possibility of reversible seating seats that fold out into beds. These are ideal for families that have children or who frequently host guests. These are typically easy to assemble and can be moved around the space as your family's seating requirements change over time. A storage sofa is also an excellent option for apartments or condominiums, where space is limited, making it necessary to be more creative in your decorating choices. These versatile furniture pieces are available in a variety of styles and colors from retailers like IKEA, Room & Board, West Elm and beyond, making it easy to coordinate them with the other furniture in your living space.
