Choosing
a sofa isn't easy. For most people picking a sofa takes a little
planning and a lot of shopping to find one that looks good, works
well in its appointed room, and doesn't blow the budget. Plus
the right sofa, has to be comfortable. With all these criteria,
and so many thousands of styles on the market, locating the ideal
model can be daunting. Fear not: If you break down the process
the way the experts do, you'll end up with a sofa design you love
at a price that makes sense.
Before starting your hunt,
think about how you're going to use the sofa, Is your best friend
going to crash on it every night? Will you let people eat while
they're sitting on the sofa? After all, sofas are not created
equal: One meant strictly for 'vegging' out is designed differently
from one intended for evenings spent sipping martinis and nibbling
canapes.
Next, shift your attention
to budget. Buy the best construction you can afford, because you'll
probably live with your sofa for a long time. People typically
keep a sofa for 10 years, however it's not uncommon to get 15
or more years out of a good sofa, assuming you have it reupholstered
along the way.
Fabric should be your third consideration, after style and budget.
Most designers recommend neutral coverings for sofas. You can
always use pillows or throws to add colour, experiment with patterns,
or change the mood.
Whatever you do, make sure to sit on the
sofa before buying it. Trying out a sofa is like trying on a shoe-
no one can do it for you. Follow our guidelines and you'll be
sitting pretty for years to come.
