Buying a sofa, what should you pay attention to?

Earlier we wrote a blog about some starting tips for anyone who wants to buy a new sofa. While these tips were mainly aimed at thinking carefully about your wishes and the possibilities at home, we would like to help you even further with this blog. You have a reasonable idea of ​​what kind of sofa you want, but what should you pay attention to once you scour the residential boulevards?

Sofa with or without legs?

The enormous range of sofas can be roughly divided into sofas with and without legs. Does that really matter? We think so, especially if your living room isn't too big. A sofa without legs (or very low to the ground) immediately looks so massive and seems to take up more space in your living room, while a sofa with legs in a small room ensures that the floor remains visible and if it is true 'continues'. Of course this is just a trick, but giving your living room a bigger look creates a feeling of freedom and tranquility. Definitely worth keeping an eye out for!

three-seater sofas

Banks come in many shapes and sizes. Of course, the size of your sofa will depend on the amount of space in your living room. However, there are more things that we think you should consider when purchasing a new sofa. Three-seater sofas are extremely popular, but think carefully about how you will use your sofas. For example, three-seater sofas are ideal for two people who want to enjoy space and comfort, but strangely enough often less pleasant for three people. A considerable part of the three-seater sofas consist of two cushions, so that the middle person sits between or on the two cushions. In this case, it might be better to buy two smaller sofas, one large corner sofa or a two-seater sofa with a matching armchair.

Choice sofa cover

The diversity of possibilities for the fabric of your new sofa makes it possible to choose a sofa that matches your personal wishes and style. Fabric, leather, artificial leather or a combination of upholstery; everything is possible. Be aware of any small children and pets that may be more likely to stain and/or damage your new sofa. Also keep in mind that some coverings, such as cotton and also leather types, fade from color relatively quickly if your sofa is regularly (behind glass) in the sun. Even if you often wear dark jeans, this can lead to dark spots in the cotton upholstery of your new sofa.

It is sometimes a little too easy for the user to ignore, but often maintenance is a bit forgotten after purchasing the sofa. And that is important to keep your sofa in good condition. We recommend that you purchase the right maintenance product or warranty plan for your new furniture. Also explore bunk bed for kids online at lowest price.
