The Essential Autumn Guide To Buying The Perfect Sofa

The sofa is the centrepiece of a living room and no home’s living space is complete without one. Whether they’re providing seating for hordes of friends, family and loved ones, or simply a place to curl up alone with a book or a good TV show, the sofa will always need to be multipurpose and fulfil many briefs. It will undoubtedly be one of the most important purchases when furnishing a living room; this importance and reliance on a sofa means that a number of things will need to be considered before buying. This guide details the most important aspects of a sofa to take in to account before committing to one, and examines the most popular and enduring sofa design features of the past century.

Size

One of the primary considerations to be made when buying a new leather sofa is its size. Prospective sofa buyers should assess how much space they will need on their sofa before starting their search; a home with two adults could quite easily opt for a two-seater sofa, a family with children might require the space facilitated by a three-seater, and a household which entertains on a regular basis might need to purchase a three-piece suite to ensure everyone has somewhere to sit. The size of the room should also be carefully considered; sofas with low backs can give the illusion of more space and counteract a low ceiling, while corner sofas with footrests are great for breaking up a large space. Even the doors of a property should be carefully measured beforehand; it would be no good ordering a luxurious, spacious sofa if it couldn’t fit through the front door.

Material – Fabric or Leather?

Vinyl sofas and fabric sofas have all been en vogue at some point in the past century, but the enduring material has always been leather. The surfeit of advantages that leather offers is not just limited to the aesthetic quality; the durability of leather sofas is second to none where materials are concerned and where fabric sofas might become threadbare over time, a leather sofa becomes softer and more supple as it ages. Leather is a natural material which means it offers a breathable surface, and along with being non-allergenic, responsive to the environment, long-lasting and attractive, it is the ideal choice for any new sofa. A design such as the Montreux genuine leather sofa or the St Sulpice two seat leather sofa look wonderful and are eminently affordable but are also durable and hard wearing. All LeatherSofasOnline sofas are covered with a special finish which protects the leather and helps to extend its longevity.

Filling

The filling of a sofa is integral to the comfort and support levels it offers. Feather-filled upholstery needs to be adjusted and plumped up on a regular basis, but offers sturdy support for those who like to curl up on their sofa for long periods of time. Sofas which are filled with foam are ideal for those with limited mobility as they offer firmness and don’t need much maintenance to keep them perfectly comfortable. Fibre upholstery is the middle ground between the two; it offers support but has a more relaxed finish. It doesn’t need constant maintenance and plumping, but has an all-around softer sit than the foam filling.

Decorate An Extension With LeatherSofasOnline

In the current uneasy property market, many homeowners have given up trying to sell their property and are instead searching for ways in which they can upgrade and renovate their current home. In the current financial downturn, many who managed to get onto the property ladder have found themselves stranded on a rung because of the stagnant market, and building an extension to a home is a great way to disperse the air of gloom that can surround a home when its owners are no longer satisfied with its make-up. 

Building an extension also means furnishing a whole new room. Whether it’s a conservatory, a study or an open-plan living room extension, any annexe added to a house, a comfortable and stylish seating area must be installed. LeatherSofasOnline has a varied collection of real leather sofas in a range of designs and finishes which are sure to be the pièce de résistance in any home extension.

Specially treated with a unique finish, the real leather used to upholster these sofas is guaranteed to last for many years. The finish not only ensures that the leather is durable and hardwearing, but that it looks wonderful as it ages and retains its soft texture. If the extension has been installed to allow extra room for lots of family members, the St Sulpice three-seat genuine leather sofa is large enough to be a family sofa and the specially treated leather will ensure it is a family favourite with everyone for years to come.

When furnishing an extension there must also be some consideration about how the furniture is going to fit through the rest of the house. The innovative sofa shape found in the form of the Montreux three-seater real leather sofa means that it can be manoeuvred through small spaces and doorways with ease, and will be easy to transport from delivery van through to the extension. Combining style with functionality, this sofa is a sublime addition to any home.

If the extension is simply expanding an existing room, such as a living room, it can be important to ensure that the new furniture is complementary to the existing décor. Choosing a sofa such as the Sussex real leather sofa combines all of the modern advantages of construction with a vintage exterior that will never go out of style and blends seamlessly with other furniture and decor. The timeless, yet bold style of this piece ensures that it will be a focal point, without clashing or looking at odds with the rest of the room.

Three Piece Suites from LeatherSofasOnline

When furnishing a living room, the most important pieces of furniture will always be the seating. Larger families, people who wish to entertain regularly, or simply people who enjoy having options may choose to buy a three piece suite, which tends to consist of a large three-seater sofa, and a mixture of armchairs and smaller two-seater sofas. There are a great number of advantages to choosing furniture this way, the first of these being that all of the seating options will match one another, and if they are chosen well, they will all match the décor too. A three piece suite can really pull the room together, décor-wise, and as the focal point of the room, they have to be given the utmost consideration.

The first item which many people furnishing their home choose tends to be the largest sofa; the three-seater. Then if there are matching items available, they can be bought in accordance with the space available. LeatherSofasOnline specialises in providing real leather sofas for such purposes, and many of their large three-seater sofas come with two-seater and armchair versions to complete the set and make a room feel ‘finished’. Praised by The Guardian, The Observer, The Independent and many other influential style pull-outs, the sofas available combine substance and style to create stunning furniture sets which will last for many years.

The Paris three-seat leather sofa fuses functionality with opulence and ensures that the modern developments in the construction of the sofa don’t overshadow the vintage style and authentic design harking back to the 1930s. The fibre back cushions and non-tropical hardwood which are used to create the framework of this sofa are combined with an incredibly soft real leather exterior which ages beautifully. These winning features are carried across the Paris furniture set, which includes a matching two-seater sofa and an armchair, all with the same stunning finish.

The St Sulpice two-seat genuine leather sofa was chosen by renowned English home expert Alison Cork, and its companion pieces, the three-seater sofa and the armchair, are equally as celebrated. The specially treated leather is easy to maintain, and the timeless design means that even in twenty or thirty years’ time, the full three piece suite will look as chic and en vogue as ever. But the elegance and style of this set does not meant that high quality is compromised; the craftsmanship of the St Sulpice set make it a robust family sofa, with hardwood legs, pocket sprung seats and fibre-back cushions for optimum support and comfort across the board.
