We often complain that certain elements of home design like flooring, kitchens and bathrooms require extra investment a put a dent in the pocket. Upholstery also falls into the must utilize longer than a passing fad category. A chesterfield especially requires planning to tempt stylistic durability.
So how to arrange our interior? A clean-lined tuxedo sofa (with arms and back arranged at the equal height) will probably appeal to both classic and modern minded, whereas a large squashy option with rolled arms may attract those who prefer country style interiors. At the off end of the spectrum, a 50s Danish couch may tempt historical purists.
Standard chesterfields are typically 203 to 218 centimeters long, whereas two-seaters or loveseats generally measure 147 to 193 centimeters in length. Keep in mind that a supple filled sofa will appear more cumbersome than a tightly tailored chaise. Also wide arms mean less sitting space, so do the math and spend and then sit wisely.
Let’s see other options. Space enhancing, a sectional or L-shaped sofa is a perfect solution to accommodate the larger number of people. In bigger spaces, sectionals can be used as room dividers. But always think of the orientation of the sofa and, importantly, at which end the ‘corner’ will turn in relation to other Furniture Canada.
While not their biggest fans of the sofa beds, we observe that when space is tight and has to be doubled for overnight guests, sofa beds make good problem solvers. For scarce use, a foam fold-out style will probably suffice. But for frequent use, we strongly suggest a wire-sprung option with a mattress measuring at least 10 centimeters thick. It’s the trend of current to buy from home with the surge in online shopping. But remember to appraise return policies and guarantees. The benefit is many e-commerce companies will happily take product back but not all will refund the cost of delivery or shipping.If you’re feeling adventurous, consider custom upholstery to tweak your vision and enhance or reduce arm size, adjust length or replace the fill of cushions as required. Flexibility is key.
•Be aware of space. Measure and play around with different room layouts before purchase. We like to re-arrange furniture every now and then. Will the size and shape of new sofa allow you that?
•Ensure that doors are sufficiently wide to let your new upholstery pass through. The last thing you need is the harried readjusting of door or window. Believe us, we’ve been there.
•Don’t go for form alone. Chose if you need for the whole family to gather, or a more formal sofa for small cocktail parties. Remember one man’s meat is another man’s poison.
•Use focus. Space enhancing, centrally arranged seating creates a better impression. Check the length of the wall, and choose a settee no longer than three quarters the length of that wall.
•Don’t hesitate to try before you buy. At the very least sit, stretch out and cuddle on potential options to be assured you’re buying the correct model.
•Ask how your selected sofa is sprung. The last thing you need is coiled metal prodding you. Springs should provide support, but should be barely the final feel.
•Enquire about padding. Feather-wrapped foam is a perfect combo.
•Look for certification that guarantee filling and all associated materials have been safeguarded against flame or combustion.
•Examine stitching and be on the search for good pattern matching. Well-made pieces should never display lousy tailoring.
•Choosing sofas that lend themselves to longevity should be preferred. Trends come and go, but classic pieces stand the test of time.
•As a general rule, neutral colour is best. This choice allows you to mix colors and scatter cushions and throws.
•Don’t be afraid of redecorating. As long as your sofa can meet current safety legislation, there is nothing to stop you.
