Sofa, So Good
By Sarika Kabra

One of the most important things to do while furnishing your living room is to get good sofa sets. However, if you think buying a sofa is as easy as going to a furniture shop and picking up the first one visible, you are wrong. Buying a sofa can get as tiresome as buying any other good furniture. You have to take care of many issues while choosing the best one for your living room.

You have to first decide the size of the sofa you need for your house. Think of the size of the room in which you are planning to keep the sofa set. Also, if you are planning to keep the sofa in a room upstairs, you will have to think of the size of the stairs too.

Another thing to remember while looking for sofas is the decor of your house. If you have traditional living room furniture, you will have to look for a sofa that fits into the overall ambience. Also, the color of the sofa set should match the wall color. Many people go for the latest colors in sofa sets and regret their decision later. A lime green sofa may be all the rage today, but may become an object of ridicule in a few years. So, unless you want to change your sofa set with every season of fashion, you should select a color that suits your room's look. Usually, neutral colored sofas work best. You can always dress them with cushions in the latest prints to give the latest hot look in house decor.

Choose the fabric of the sofa with a lot of deliberation as well. In most cases people keep their sofas in the living room and use it very often. For any family gathering or even simple reclining, the sofa is singled out for extensive use. Moreover, if you have kids in your house, the sofa will be used perpetually. Thus, choosing white satin sofas in such cases will not be wise. The upkeep of such sofas is very high and they tend to wear out very quickly. If you want sectional sofas that are to be used in formal occasions only, you can splurge and get the best quality fabric for the sofa. In case, the use of sofa is informal, get practical.

You will also have to consider the comfort level you expect from your sofa. Sofas may be very firm or very fluffy. The back side could be tight or fitted with removable pillows. Usually, people prefer the pillowed sofas as they are very relaxing and comfortable. Other things to consider are the angle at which the back of the sofa is kept and the depth of the seat of the sofa. Some people like sofas that have seats pushing down on every sitting while others want a firm sofa seat. Only you will be able to decide the type that keeps you most comfortable.

If you still feel confused in the furniture store, never hesitate to ask for help from the salespeople.
