A great sofa anchors the whole room. Get these three choices right—size, fabric, and layout—and everything else becomes easy.
1) Measure like a pro
-
Map the space with painter’s tape (length × depth).
-
Leave 30–36 cm of walking clearance around the sofa.
-
Consider doorways, elevators, and stairs for delivery.
2) Pick the right depth & seat feel
-
Standard depth (95–100 cm): upright lounging, formal rooms.
-
Deep (100–110+ cm): movie nights, relaxed lounging.
-
Firm foam = support; feather blend = cloud-like comfort.
3) Fabrics that fit your lifestyle
-
Performance fabric: stain-resistant for busy homes.
-
Bouclé & textured weaves: on-trend, cozy, hides minor wear.
-
Top-grain leather: ages beautifully; wipeable.
4) Layouts that solve real rooms
-
Condo living rooms: compact sofa + slipper chair.
-
Open concept: a sectional defines zones.
-
Bay window or fireplace focal point: symmetrical sofa + chairs.
5) Colour confidence
-
Keep the sofa neutral (stone, taupe, camel) and add colour with pillows and throws you can refresh seasonally.
