Oh sofas, they get passed around from family members, to
rooms, and finally at the end of their long-lived, and very much loved lives,
they end up in our basements. Sofas are one of the biggest purchases you are
likely to make. But before you have a heart attack, know that this process can
be easy peasy if you keep in mind exactly what you’re looking for, so you don’t
feel quite as overwhelmed.
First off…quality over everything. A
solid base will ensure for the longest life possible for your sofa. Don’t be
afraid to bounce around on your options to ensure stability. Actually being
able to sit on your sofa before purchasing is very helpful, this way you can
make sure the cushions are as firm or as soft as you want, you can make sure
the depth of the cushions are appropriate for you as well.

As far as style of sofa, that of course depends on your
style. If you have a more traditional style, choose a sofa with rolled arms and
tufted cushions.
On the other hand, if you have a more contemporary style,
choose a sofa with cleaner lines and understated upholstery. A good rule of
thumb is, if there are other skirted pieces in the space, choose a sofa with
exposed legs and vice versa. Since sofas are just a large investment, you of
course want it to stay in style for as long as possible. Go with a neutral and
switch out throw pillows for a trendier look.
A few other quick tips, if you’re short on space, look at
sofas with low arms or no arms at all, it will help to make your room look
bigger. Also, take into consideration the durability and finish of your fabric
selection. If you have small children or pets, be sure to pick a fabric that is
heavy duty and stain resistant for quick and easy clean ups!
