How to choose a sofa?

Are you planning for this sofa to be an additional sleeping place? Maybe you want a sofa for a dining area or your home office? Let’s look closer at all these aspects comparing them with more specific information about the sofas.

The room’s size

The room’s measurements are very important criteria in deciding what sofa will be the best for you. If you have a spacious room you can think about some large models or even sectional sofa that looks luxurious in the open and big space. Sectionals in minimalistic and high-tech style and fluid design can become your favorite place for gatherings with friends.

For a small room better to look at more compact models, maybe even a transformer sofa. Furniture Direction has in assortment wide choice of contemporary two-seater sofas that can help you to economize space and enhance your room with a stylish look.

Sofas types

Furniture Direction represents a contemporary view of the sofa’s design. So sofas types showcased in our assortment are the latest trends.

Tuxedo sofa

This daring and bright design features a low seat, short legs, and back that elongates in the armrests in one straight line. This design in most cases is smoothened with the tufting and velour or other soft to touch upholstery, so it results in a balanced image.

Mid-Century Modern sofa

This sofa type has a curved-line design that repeats the human body’s shape and seems highly comfortable. The combination of the wooden slanted legs and bright colors adds to the sofa’s fresh vibes. Clean lines and a minimalistic look serve well to create an impressive design.

Lawson style sofa

This sofa type is the comfiest and cozy-looking one because it features curved smooth lines and a bit of slanted armrests that emphasize the design’s smoothness. Usually, this sofa is accompanied by cushions that perfectly combine in colors with the sofa’s shades. A lawson-style sofa is a perfect choice if you are searching for some furniture that will add warmth to your ambiance.

Cabriole Sofa

Cabriole sofa is similar to the tuxedo one, but the backline is united with the armrests in the descending curve. It creates an ambient feel when you sit in it thanks to the gorgeous back curve that is “cuddling” you gently. This sofa type is associated in most cases with the traditional style, but Furniture Direction represents models made with the modern approach.

Sofas materials

For understanding better what are sofas made from let’s divide them into these categories:

Frame materials

Solid wood

Solid wood can be without a doubt classified as the most luxurious frame material. It is highly durable, strong, and can have a long life that can be even prolonged if the sofa is kept properly. A solid wood frame is a practical choice that pays off in time, but of course, its price is higher.

Metal frame

The metal frame is not a popular material choice, because it can be loud and it is not so comfortable while you move such a frame. It in common doesn’t like many movements, but if you will treat it with the care it will serve you well and a long time.

MDF, Particleboard, and plywood

These materials are used in industry as a cheaper replacement for solid wood frames. They are not so durable and lower in quality, but still can be a good choice if your budget is limited.

Upholstery material

Fabric(chenille, velour, microfiber,jaсquard)

Fabric upholstery is the most variated as you can see. Chenille upholstery is very qualitative and is cleaned easily, but is quite expensive. Velour is a more exquisite variant if we talk about the appearance, its gorgeous shinning and color shades transitions look very stylish, but it is not the best variant if you have pets and kids. Jacquard is also represented in the designs’ gorgeous assortment, but it can be only dry cleaned. Microfiber is the most practical choice because it isn’t afraid of sun, moisture, dust, and dirt. It can be stretched and is hard to cut it.

Leather and eco-leather

Leather sofas are a representation of luxury and exquisiteness. It has a unique texture and this sophisticated deep and warm color. If it is kept in good conditions it can have a long life. The only minus of the leather upholstery is the relevantly high price. This material without doubt has its reputation that is hard to replace with something, but eco-leather can be a good variant for this. Yes, it is not equal to the leather upholstery but is really quite close to it. And the price is really more pleasant.
