Choosing the right upholstered furniture for your home

Style and design

Before you choose Upholstered furniture you should be clear about the style and design you want to have in your living room. Do you want it to be modern or more classic? Should it have a certain color or pattern? Also ask yourself if you want the furniture to match existing elements in the room, such as the flooring or wall colors.

If you choose a modern style, look for clean lines and simple shapes. A classic style, on the other hand, calls for ornate details and carvings. If you choose a certain color or pattern, you should also consider that after some time it may no longer suit your taste.

Materials and fabrics

Choosing the right material is also important. Do you want to use natural materials like leather or Cotton or do you prefer synthetic materials like polyester? Also note that each material has different care requirements and therefore reacts differently to wear and stains. Take a look at our guide to the proper care of leather sofas at.

If you choose leather, you should keep in mind that this material is very durable, but it also needs regular care to maintain its beauty. Cotton On the other hand, it is very easy to care for and breathable, but it can also wrinkle quickly. Polyester is very durable and resistant to stains, but may be less breathable.

Size and space requirements

Before buying, carefully measure how big the upholstered furniture can be to fit in the room without any problems. Also note that there should be enough space to move around freely. Also, keep in mind that upholstered furniture can take up a bit more space over time, as it can easily expand from daily use.

If you choose a large sofa, you should also keep in mind that it may not fit through the door and you may have to have it delivered in pieces. Also, you should keep in mind that a large sofa will take up more space than a small armchair.

Features and extras

Think about what features your upholstered furniture should have. Should it guarantee a particularly comfortable sitting position or do you want to have an extendable sofa bed? If so, it should be quick and easy to fold out. Should the Sofa have additional storage space? Or do you want to have an integrated massage function?

A pull-out sofa bed can be especially handy if you often have guests. A sofa with a built-in massage function can help you relax after a long day at work. If you're short on storage space, a sofa with extra storage can be a good choice.
