Here’s Our Guide For Choosing A New Sofa For Your Home From Kartell, Ligne Roset & Calligaris…
Whether it’s your first home or your forever home, selecting new furniture can be daunting and overwhelming, especially if you’re opting for a larger-scale renovation or extension.
If you’re looking to make choosing your next sofa much easier, here’s our helpful guide on stylish, stunning Sofa’s from Kartell, Ligne Roset and Calligaris.
Decide On Style & Shape
Think about the size and shape of your living room, this will be the first step to finding what sofa works for you. If you have a large space, you have plenty of options to choose from, a simple two-seater through to a large corner piece will fit in your space. Measure up to find the size that best suits your needs and know you have pick our range to choose from!
If your space is limited, you may want to consider your shape more carefully, a sofa that is too large will take up all your space, however it still needs to be big enough to suit your family. Simplistic, smart and sleek is the way to go, too complicated and your room may start to look busy. The Ego 2 Seater by Arkeptio may be a good option.
Style comes down to personal taste, do you want your sofa to stand out and be the centre of attention or blend in with the rest of the room? A big trend for 2022 is mixing styles, if you have a modern space, consider adding a more traditional sofa, the blending of styles creates a timeless look, so your furniture will never go out of style. If you have an older home, why not consider adding the Ploum Sofa by Ligne Roset to add some vibrancy and modernity?
The Perfect Colour
Choosing the colour can be fun, but it may be overwhelming with all the options available to you.
Start by picking a colour scheme for your room. Make sure all the colours complement each other and remember that they’ll be with you for a while so if you’re unsure, ask us for advice!
Fabric also plays a part in the colour you choose. Think about whether you need a durable, easy to clean fabric for a busy lifestyle or wish to indulge in a luxurious fabric for an eye-catching piece.
When choosing the colour for your sofa, the more neutral shade out of your scheme is the best way to go, this way you can add coloured throws and pillows that can be changed easily from season to season, or when you next decide to redecorate, without having to reupholster your entire sofa. The Brandon 3 seater sofa by Sits has a plethora of colour options to choose from, including Grey, Graphite and Green, all of which are natural and would ideally compliment any room.
Accessorize
Your beautiful new sofa is now sitting in your living room, and you’re ready to add your personal touch. Using the colour scheme for the room, choose to add scatter cushions, throws and a rug in the scheme you selected to bring it all together. For colour, our Memoire Dune Trame rug by Ligne Roset will certainly “pop out” in any room.
Side tables are also a great addition, they’re functional, elegant and can stop the space looking sparce. Our extensive range of contemporary side tables can be seen here.
What are the tell-tale signs that your sofa needs replacing?
If your sofa no longer has the ‘spring’ to it that it once had, it could be worn out. A good quality sofa should last between seven and fifteen years, if you find your sofa is no longer comfortable, its definitely time to upgrade.
