A couple of months ago I moved for the first time in 5 years. I was pretty excited to be living on my own. However I was moving into a small condo. That’s because renting in my city is super expensive and this condo was the best place I could find on my own.
As my furniture was five years old, it was not going to fit into the condo. So I had to buy all new furniture. It was going to be a daunting task. But it had to be done and the sofa was up first.
No matter if your current sofa has deep crater in it because the springs are shot or you’re moving into a small condo like me, you’ll want to read these five things to consider when buying a new sofa.
1 – Size
This is by far the biggest thing to consider when choosing a sofa. Based on what size room you’re putting it in and your current sofa size will determine what size your new sofa can be.
All furniture stores Victoria BC have dimensions of the sofas they stock so it’ll make your shopping much easier.
2 – Style
Based on how your current furniture looks, you obviously want things to match style wise.
The first place you should look for inspiration is Pinterest. Just search for sofa’s and see what comes. I do this all the time as I am a visual person.
3 – Color
Again you want things to match with current décor. And you probably don’t want to make the same mistake I did and choose a white microfiber sofa because you can never eat on it.
Choose a color that will be able to absorb some stains that matches with your current color scheme or one you want to achieve down the road.
4 – Fabrics
We all like the feelings of different things. So when it comes to the fabric of your sofa, it’s all about finding one that you like the feel of and won’t stain easy.
The only way you can get an idea for the feel is to visit StudioYdesign and their showroom.
5 – Padding
Like the feel of fabric, some people will like their new sofa firmer while some will like it softer. You’ll get an idea when you visit furniture store showrooms how much padding you want from your new sofa.
There you have it. Five things you need to consider when choosing the right sofa. You can do a fair bit of research by searching local online furniture stores for size, style and color. But you will eventually have to visit an actual showroom to find the right fabric and padding level.
