Tips and Tricks
How does the way I sit on a sofa influence which one I should choose?
The way you sit can determine the depth and height of the sofa you need for comfort. If you prefer to sit upright, a shallower and firmer sofa is suitable. If you like reclining or pulling up your legs, opt for a deeper sofa.
What considerations should I take into account when buying a sofa?
Consider your sitting habits and whether the sofa will be used by multiple people at once. Questions to ask include the importance of sitting upright, ease of getting up from a seated position, and the presence of small children or pets.
Are there any sofa features that can increase longevity?
Sofas with reversible cushions tend to last longer. Look for sofas with detachable covers for ease of cleaning, changing colors, or replacing damaged parts.
How should I position a sofa in a room with strong sunlight?
Avoid placing dark-colored sofas in areas with strong sunlight, such as a south-facing room, to prevent the fabric from fading quickly.
What should I consider when placing a sofa in my room?
Ensure the sofa is proportionate to the room size and doesn't overwhelm the space. Leave adequate room for passageways to avoid a cramped feel.
How can I determine the seating capacity of a sofa?
Designers recommend allotting 24 inches (60 cm) of space per person. Measure your sofa to estimate how many it can comfortably seat.
What is the impact of asymmetry in room design?
Asymmetry in design adds a natural and cozy feel to a space. It involves balancing different elements in an imperfect manner, like pairing a lopsided lamp with a neat sofa.
What are some tips for choosing a coffee table that complements my sofa?
The coffee table should generally be about two-thirds the length of the sofa and the same height as the sofa seating. Consider the shape of the space and choose a table shape that contributes to a balanced look.
How should the height of a coffee table compare to the sofa?
The height of a coffee table should be close to the seat height of the sofa, slightly higher or lower. This ensures comfort whether you're sitting and eating or reclining on the sofa.
