Furnishing the living room with a modern designer sofa: tips and ideas for a trendy home
How to choose a modern designer sofa
The first thing to do when choosing a designer sofa is to assess the size of the entire living room. The sofa’s dimensions must be proportionate to those of the room so as not to make this new piece of furniture inappropriate for the room and to ensure that it does not obstruct the passage of people. Another really important element is the use to which the chosen sofa model will be put. If you are looking for one for relaxing in front of the television, it is better to consider using several seats to involve the whole family. For reading, it is better to aim for comfort, while sometimes you may need a model with a sleeping place to accommodate friends and relatives. If there are children, it will also be necessary to choose a sofa that is resistant, just as if you have back pain problems, you will opt for a comfortable sofa with an ergonomic seat that is not too low. The colour obviously also has its importance, for example a dark sofa will appear larger and more imposing, while a light sofa creates visual space. The shape and the choice of fabrics and materials also become fundamental. This means that, in addition to personal taste, these choices must be made according to the style of the home and the needs of use. A leather sofa is more durable and beautiful to look at, but can be a problem in summer. A fabric sofa is not always easy to maintain. In any case, modern living room sofas can be covered with a slipcover to match the décor.
Modern two seater sofas: the perfect idea for small, comfortable rooms
For those who do not have much space at home but are still looking for a stylish solution, the two seater sofa is certainly the best choice. A modern, versatile and comfortable piece of furniture, it is also particularly accessible in terms of price and allows compositions made up of several modules even in a small living room.
Moreover, it goes well next to the wall, in the centre of the room, or in combination with a three-seater sofa or armchair if the space is larger.
There are so many types, with vintage or modern designs and volumes that are always compact and rational for a sober and elegant style. Even the stitching can help give it personality with quilted or contrasting textures and embossed edges for a bold and lively look.
A perfect idea to keep in mind when furnishing your living room is the two seater sofa with a removable fabric cover. With this fantastic system, its strong point is absolute practicality. For a sofa of small dimensions this is particularly apparent. In any case, the great furnishing capacity of this type of sofa lies in its versatility, which creates a real sense of cosiness that is transmitted throughout the living area.
Corner sofas: excellent for large living and living rooms
On the other hand, if you have no particular problems with the size of the room in which you will be accommodating it, a corner sofa is just the thing for you. If placed in the centre of the room, it creates a cosy area in the living room, enhancing it from the rest of the house, giving more value to moments of pleasure and relaxation. However, its ideal placements can be as follows:
- on the wall,
- under or near the window
The important thing is to preserve the balance already existing in the living room and not to compromise its use. One must therefore be able to identify the best position according to the space available in the room in which it will be placed. For example, a fabric corner sofa with a minimalist design creates a refined, comfortable and timeless ambience for a variety of home furnishings.
