Living room furniture

Choosing the right living room furniture can be tricky, it’s important to know in which direction you wish to go. Buying a living room set is a big decision, the sofa especially is something you are likely to have for a long time.

When choosing a sofa, it’s first important to establish if you want high end furniture to get the best possible quality. If you wish your sofa to maintain its shape and colour etc., we suggest that you do invest in a good sofa, from a manufacturer known to produce quality furniture, such as Rolf Benz.

So, you’ve decided to invest in a sofa, now where do you go from there? First, measure the area where you want your sofa and envisage the area in the room where you will place it. This will give you clarity on which size to choose and if it’s best with a contemporary sofa or maybe a recliner sofa. Next, ask yourself what’s the use of the sofa. Is it a way to sit around the coffee table and have tea with your friends or is it a sofa that will be used constantly by the whole family for film nights and after school hangouts.

After establishing the use of the sofa, it’s wise to get out there and try them. You should always try to visit the furniture showroom and try out the sofa you are considering buying. Online pictures will give you an idea of the style of sofa but you cannot fully appreciate the quality and feel of the fabric unless you view the real sofa up close. You also need to try sitting on the sofa to decide if you find it comfortable and if it will meet your needs.

Decide beforehand if you prefer feather-filled cushions, or foam/fibre ones. We suggest foam/fibre fillings as these doesn’t need to be refilled over time, it is however necessary that you take proper care of the sofa, no matter which filling it has.

When looking at the fabric of the sofa, remember that the pattern and colour will have a big impact on the room, so choose carefully. If you have pets and/or children, it will be wise to go for something with patterns or darker shades and a textured fabric as this will show less wear, but if you wish to use the sofa as a part of a luxury interior design scheme, you can go for a subtle pattern or shade, with a more smooth texture. If you decide to go for a more neutral colour or finish, you can spruce up the sofa with colourful cushions and other accessories.

Whatever your requirements, when buying exclusive furniture, such as a brand-new sofa, go for something timeless rather than trendy. If you choose a sofa which is currently on trend, you put yourself at risk of having to purchase a new one in a year or two. However, if you choose quality designer furniture with a timeless look, you can have it as long as you wish.
