A sofa isn’t just a place to sit—it’s where you unwind, host guests, or snuggle up for a movie night. Picking the right one can dramatically affect the comfort and look of your living room. Here's how to find your perfect fit.

Start with Your Lifestyle

  • Do you host often? Go for spacious 3- or 4-seaters or a sectional.

  • Have kids or pets? Choose scratch- and stain-resistant upholstery like Endurance fabric.

  • Prefer lounging or sitting upright? Consider depth and cushion firmness.

Match the Size to Your Space

  • Small flats: Try 2-seaters or armless designs

  • Larger homes: Sectionals or modular sets

  • Always measure first and leave at least 60–80cm for walking space around

Consider Sofa Types

  • Linear: Clean, simple profile; great for minimalist homes

  • Sectional: Flexible L-shapes or U-shapes for large families

  • Modular: Pieces you can rearrange to suit your mood or guests

Fabric and Function Matter

  • Endurance fabric is ideal for daily use

  • Removable covers make cleaning easier

  • High legs are robot vacuum-friendly

Tip: Always check seat depth and back support. If you like lounging, go deep and cushy. Prefer formality? Choose firmer seats with upright backs.

Wrap-up: The right sofa is one that fits your lifestyle, complements your space, and lasts for years. Take your time testing proportions, materials, and functions.
