You’ve decorated your dream home with rugs and curtains in place – now to truly stamp your style with your favourite furniture, but how do you fit it all in?
Typically the largest furniture item after a bed and the centerpiece of any fitting room, your sofa needs your help to settle into its new home safely.
These helpful tips will ensure your sofa is a perfect fit.
Measure
Even the most spacious of rooms could still have limited access via a small doorway or narrow hallway.
Remember to measure not only the width, height and depth of your sofa but also the diagonal dimensions, to see if entrance can be made easier by tilting.
Removing any cushions and detachable feet where possible will help a fabric sofa into its new home without too much pushing and pulling
Mark
Before your sofa is delivered, be sure to mark a template of its footprint with masking tape, newspaper or boxes.
This will help you see how the rest of your room will fit with your sofa, including other adjacent chairs, through routes, tables, drawers and cupboard openings.
Match
If your room is large or has a high ceiling, then a compact fabric sofa may get lost among bigger pieces, while a dark leather sofa could provide too much contrast with a white wall and appear bigger.
Pay attention to what pairs well with your sofa choice, nothing that overshadows or underwhelms should find its way onto the walls or floor.
Keep your room fixtures consistent and complementary and the character of any leather or fabric sofa will be enhanced rather than obscured.
These quick hints should help you select a sofa to suit your home with confidence but for more in-depth information, speak to our helpful team for assistance with fabric choice, styles, colours and sizes.
