What kind of sofa is suitable for a small living room?

We all know that the living room is a very important place in the home, so the decoration and layout are quite particular, and we need to spend some time to install it, especially the choice of sofa in the living room. There are many styles of sofas on the market, and different sofas have different decorative effects. So what kind of sofa is good for a small living room? Let's take a closer look!

What sofa is good for a small living room?

Small living rooms are suitable for light-colored sofas with simple structures and small backrests. Generally, double sofas or triple sofas are used, combined with single sofa chairs and sofa stools. The specific choice depends on the size of the living room. Generally, small living rooms rarely use L-shaped combination sofas.

Sofa size

The sofa size of a small living room should be smaller, so that the space furniture ratio is better and the living room space appears larger. If you choose a normal sofa size, the living room will appear small. At the same time, the sofa should not fill the sofa wall in the living room, which will create a crowded look. For example, the normal sofa depth is 90 cm, and the small living room can choose a depth of about 85 cm, so that the living room appears wider. Similarly, the height of the sofa backrest should be lower.

At the same time, pay attention to the remaining activity space after placing the sofa, as well as the contrast relationship with other furniture and the spacing size. It is recommended to take a size diagram of the interior wall of the living room, clearly mark the positions of windows, doors, corridors, and socket layout, etc.

Sofa Style

The style should be as simple as possible, with exquisite appearance, comfortable sitting and easy maintenance. Because the small living room has limited space, the shape of the sofa should be as regular and round as possible to avoid bumps in daily life.

The armrests are thin or there are no armrests, which is convenient for sitting and lying. At the same time, storage near the sofa should be considered, such as tea cups, books, and other daily living room items.

You can choose the style of the sofa according to your own decoration style. The small living room is mainly in modern style, such as Nordic, modern, minimalist, new Chinese, etc.

Sofa Color

The color of the sofa is suitable for light-colored sofas with higher brightness, or high brightness. Usually, light-colored sofas are more often used in small living rooms. The color of the sofa is selected in combination with the wall and the overall color layout of the living room.

Consider the decorative effect of the living room as a whole. Generally, the color and style of the sofa should be considered before decoration to grasp the overall decorative effect. Do not choose it casually in the later stage, which will easily make the decoration look messy.

If you are considering relatives visiting, you can choose a sofa bed to use as an occasional bed. Generally, close relatives are willing to stay at home, and most of them stay in hotels.

Key points for choosing sofa

1. Choose according to the size of the living room

The sofa should not be too big or too small. Generally, it can take up about 1/4 of the living room. This way it will not look too empty or too crowded.

2. According to personal preference

If you want to look more classical, you can choose a retro leather sofa; if you like a warm and lively atmosphere, you can choose an orange sofa; young people tend to pursue fashion trends, so it is recommended to choose a gray sofa that is durable and long-lasting.

3. Comfort

Comfort is the most important thing. The sofa is mainly to provide us with a place to rest. Whether it is comfortable or not can be reflected only by sitting on it. It is recommended that you go to a physical store to sit on it before deciding to buy.

4. Color and appearance

When purchasing, we must ensure that the sofa is comfortable to sit on before considering the appearance and color of the sofa. Everyone may have different tastes and perspectives, but I personally recommend that you try not to choose sofas that are too complicated or too popular. Of course, before choosing to buy, you still have to choose according to the designer's opinion and your own decoration style.

5. Material

Fabric sofas come in many colors and are quite fashionable, but they are more difficult to clean, and putting on a sofa cover is a big project. Leather sofas are high-end, very comfortable to sit on, and relatively easy to clean.

6. Price

We all know that the price of leather sofas is higher than that of fabric sofas. The price of leather sofas is very high, so when we choose, we must choose according to our own financial situation.

Which sofa is better for different styles?

The overall decoration style of the home needs to be determined. Currently, modern simplicity, modern American and Nordic styles are the most common.

If your home is modern and simple, you can choose leather sofas or fabric sofas. It is best to choose a simple style. As for the leather color (fabric), just match it with the home decoration style.

If you want a Nordic style, then it is recommended that you choose a fabric sofa. Fabric sofas are detachable and washable, with rich fabrics and a variety of colors. They are also easy to match and set off the atmosphere at home. They are warm, comfortable, and have a homely feel. The picture in this article is a Nordic style sofa, which is fresh, original wood color, and simple small armrests. It is both modern and fashionable.

If it is a modern American (European) style, it will be easier to match. It is recommended that you choose a leather sofa. The color of the leather should be based on personal preference and style (dark color is recommended), round armrests, dark wood (mostly black walnut), and a little bit of rivets for a classic and elegant look.
