Sofas

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Sofa

Sofas, lounges, and couches are central elements in any living room or communal space. They provide expansive seating options for multiple people and can inject personality to your lounge.

Making Room for Your Sofa Set & Lounge Suites

Sofas & lounge suites can be a great starting point for designing a room's decor. 

Consider your preference for style and colour when choosing other furniture and decor pieces. For example, a leather sofa can add an element of sophistication to a room, while a brightly coloured fabric sofa set will add a pop of colour. 

When arranging the room, position the sofa to create a focal point and allow for easy conversation. 

Finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different throw pillows and blankets to add texture and visual interest to the space.

FAQs

What’s the difference between a sofa and a couch?

‘Chaise sofa’, ‘couch’, ‘chaise lounge’ – we’re all guilty of using these terms interchangeably, but is there really a difference between them? In truth, there are some subtle distinctions, largely around the structure and layout.

Sofas generally refer to formal seating with structured designs, often featuring a backrest and armrest, such as with the quintessential 3-seater sofa. They are ideal for living rooms where aesthetics and comfort both matter a great deal to you. 

Couches are typically more casual and sometimes have a softer, more relaxed design. They can still offer incredible comfort and modern aesthetics but typically lack arms and hold softer lines.

Traditionally, a chaise lounge is designed for one person to recline comfortably, with one end featuring a backrest or partial armrest. A sofa with a chaise, however, combines the elegance of a chaise lounge with the functionality of a sofa, allowing you to stretch out comfortably.

Either way, depending on your needs, all options can offer great comfort.

Is it better to buy a new couch or get it reupholstered?

It can be hard to say goodbye to our long-beloved couches, but after years of use and noticeable signs of age, when is it right to call a reupholster or opt for a replacement?

If your current sofa has a sturdy frame and is still comfortable for your family and guests, reupholstering may be a more cost-effective option, especially if the upholstery is worn, but the structure is solid. 

But are you starting to notice your couch is sagging and the cushions have lost their support? It may be time to consider buying a new model. While emotional, it can be an excellent opportunity to explore new designs, styles and materials, a smaller 3-seater sofa or a more luxurious leather couch.

How to choose the right sofa

There are a lot of options out there when it comes to chaise sofas, lounges and couches, so when you make your choice, be sure to consider:

• Size: The size of your sofa will depend on your room's dimensions. A 2-seater or low sofa set works well for a smaller space, while larger rooms can accommodate 3-seater sofas or a longer chaise sofa for additional comfort. If you frequently entertain guests, you may also want to consider a larger lounge suite.

• Style: Sofas & couches come in many styles, from contemporary and minimalist to traditional and luxurious. Leather sofas provide a timeless, elegant look with impressive durability. Fabric sofas, such as boucle or velvet, offer comfort and come in a variety of colours and patterns to suit any decor.

Material: Think about your lifestyle when choosing the material. If you have kids or pets, a leather sofa or a durable fabric sofa set may be the best option due to its easy maintenance and long-lasting quality. For a softer, more luxurious feel, fabrics like velvet or chenille add elegance to any space.
