Sofa for living room

Comfort is the first thing a person strives for when building his home. It is this principle that we stick to first of all, choosing furniture for the house. Especially it concerns such premises in the house, as a bedroom and, of course, a living room.

After all, the living room is the place where the whole family gathers at leisure and where guests come. And the "central figure" in the interior of this cozy and versatile room, of course, is the sofa. Therefore, choosing a sofa in the living room, we with particular pedantry approach such parameters of this piece of furniture as color, size, shape, aesthetic qualities. Nevertheless, in addition to external qualities, one should not overlook factors such as the mechanism of transformation, the frame, the filler, the upholstery of the sofa.

How to choose a sofa for the living room?

Just before buying, you should think about what you actually need a sofa for. For example, if a comfortable sitting area is needed for the living room to watch movies or conversations over a cup of tea, then a constructively simple and soft sofa in the living room, as in the photo, which does not have the mechanism of transformation, will cope with this task.

And if, in addition, in the living room you want to organize a full bed( or several places), then you can not do without such an option as the couch's ability to transform, and you will have to make some compromises in favor of the comfort of the sofa in the unfolded form. Special attention should be paid to the durability of the upholstery and the possibility of cleaning it, because surely it will be upholstery to withstand much - spilled tea, children's games and other tests.

Answers to all these and other questions will help you to choose a sofa that will not only please the exterior, but also successfully fit into the interior, and will be convenient for you and your guests.

Style sofa

Of course, the style of the sofa is of great importance in the interior of the living room, so it must match the overall decoration of the room. The classic sofa in the living room will organically complement the solid and reserved interior, executed in calm tones, with a certain shade of solemnity.

Modern sofas for the living room, in addition to external conformance to the fashion trends of our days, are distinguished by high functionality and comfort, which is provided by the use of high-quality materials and the latest design solutions. The minimalist sofa, which has extremely simple rectangular outlines and ascetic design, will be an effective addition to the elegant and laconic interior of the living room.

The shape and size of the sofa

It is easy to guess that for a spacious room to choose a model of optimal shape and size is much easier than to find such a sofa that will fit into the area of ​​a small living room without problems.

So, for the hospitable owners of spacious houses, a large corner sofa for a sitting room for 5-6 seats is suitable. Such a model, as a rule, can also be laid out, forming a very spacious sleeper. In general, large sofas in the living room are very convenient also due to the fact that they allow you to give up additional chairs and chairs that clutter the interior.

A small sofa in the living room is suitable for a small room, and before buying it is better to immediately measure the area of ​​free space in the room, so as not to lose in the size of the sofa. In a limited area, the modular sofa for the living room, consisting of several separate sections, can also be successfully fitted, which can be arranged in different places of the room.

The mechanism of transformation and the frame of the sofa

When choosing the mechanism for transforming the sofa, you should focus on the free space of the living room, as the sofa can be folded or forward, when the back becomes the headboard, or forming a sleeping place parallel to the wall.

The first category includes the following transformation mechanisms:

• withdrawable mechanism;
• Accordion;
• American clamshell;
• French clamshell.

To the second category - the following types:

• Book( click-clack);
• Eurobook;
• Dolphin.

The photos of the sofas for the living room presented in the article will help to more clearly imagine how each mechanism works.

The carcass of the sofa must withstand the weight of the people sitting on it. With this function, the best possible way is a frame made of a wooden beam. More economical, but less reliable, is a frame with inserts from chipboard or plywood.
