Choosing the best sofa size for your living space

The sofa is the core of the living room, even when you enter the room, you will notice it at first glance. So choosing the right size is very important. It is not advisable to choose a large-size sofa for a small living room or a small-size sofa for a large living room. We have prepared a clearance strategy for you to ensure that you can choose suitable sofa de sala.

When choosing a sofa size, scale, space shape, traffic flow, and intended use are all important considerations. Let's start with scale.

👉Scale 

There is no doubt that buying a large three-piece recliner combination sofa may maximize your comfort, but if you live in a studio apartment, it will swallow all of your space. It may be comfortable, but when you have to use the pole vault to get through the room, it will not be so comfortable.

The general rule of thumb is that your sofa should not occupy the entire length of the wall. There should be at least 18 inches of space on both sides of the sofa. If you want to bring the chaise longue part, then the long chaise longue part should not exceed half of the room. Think about your space and what you can do with it, and then choose your sofa based on it.

👉The shape of your space

Not all living rooms are created equal. Finding a sofa that fits the shape of your space is crucial. The modular sofa is very suitable for families with open floor plans because it can help shape and separate the space. It can help define the living and dining areas in a spacious open floor plan.

In addition, look at any unique architectural features such as windows, fireplaces or built-in shelving. Use these pre-existing features to determine the sofa that suits your space, ensuring that the sofa will never block any of these features.

👉Traffic flow

People often forget to consider traffic flow when buying a new sofa. Energy and movement should be able to enter and exit the living room freely. Buying a sofa or combination that obstructs movement and energy flow can definitely kill the mood in the space, let alone make people want to avoid the room, because it doesn't work at all. You want to feel relaxed in the living room, not like being imprisoned by furniture. Then you may want to consider shrinking your work.

Measure the width (left to right), depth (from back to front) and height (from bottom to top) of the sofa. Look at your space and make sure you have at least 30 to 36 inches of space for the aisle between the furniture, plus 3 to 5 inches between your sofa and the wall.

👉Other possible use

When deciding on a sofa, consider how you will use it in your space. You may have an idea of using the sofa as a place to read your favorite literary classics or as a place to entertain friends for tea, but the reality is often not the case.

Think about how many people will sit on the sofa at the same time. If there are more than two, you can consider a longer sofa or bench sofa with three seats. On the other hand, the two-person seat is very comfortable.
