    Why choose a corner sofa?

    A corner sofa is a great choice if you have a lot of space or if you want to create a more comfortable place for your family or friends.

    It makes perfect use of the corners of the room, leaving more free space in the rest of the living room. What’s more, with corner sofas you have the ability to adjust the dimensions and position of the corner to fit the exact specifications of the space.

    You can choose a large corner sofa to spread out comfortably or a more compact version if your living room is small. One more thing: a corner sofa works perfectly as a divider if you want to ” separate” the living room from other spaces.

    What is the role of the sofa bed?

    The sofa bed is the ultimate multi-tool for any home, especially if you live in a small apartment or need a sofa for a small living room that also serves as an extra sleeping area.

    It combines comfort and practicality, and many have storage space, perfect for pillows, blankets or other small items. It’s also a great solution if you have a home office that you want to easily convert into a guest room.

     

    Is a two-seater or three-seater sofa better?

    The choice here depends mainly on the size of your living room. A two-seater sofa is ideal for small spaces, offering comfort without “smothering” the room. Conversely, a three-seater sofa is suitable for larger spaces or for those who like to spread out.

    Why not combine them? A two-seater together with a three-seater can create a stylish living room set that suits your needs.

    Can armchairs and recliners replace the sofa?

    If your space is a bit limited or you’re just looking for something lighter and more flexible, armchairs and chaise lounges can be the perfect solution!

    They are comfortable, modern and give the living room a warmer atmosphere. Armchairs are perfect for creating a relaxing corner. What about chaise lounges? Totally ideal if you want to stretch your legs and relax!

    Plus, they’re flexible, you can easily move them whenever you want and of course you can combine them with a sofa, which makes them super practical.

    What color sofa should I get to match the decor?

    The color of your sofa is perhaps the most crucial decision, as it affects the entire aesthetics of the room. If you want to follow the latest trends, you can choose modern sofa colors such as bright shades of green, deep blue or even warm earthy colors that create cozy vibes.

    There’s no right or wrong answer, but there are definitely options that are more suited to your decor and style.

    Neutral colors

    If you love timelessness, a sofa in neutral colors, such as white and black, is what you need. They go with everything from modern to classic styles, and give you the freedom to change decorative elements, such as pillows and rugs, without worrying about the harmony of the space.

     

    Earth tones

    Earthy tones, such as brown, beige and peach, are ideal for creating a warm and inviting space. They go great with natural materials, such as wood and rattan, and give your living room a cozier feel. They are the perfect choice if you want a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

    Bold choices

    Why not add a touch of personality to your living room? A sofa in bright blue, green or even yellow can be the ultimate statement piece. If you like bold choices, don’t be afraid to play with colors that “break” the monotony and enhance your space. Pair it with more neutral decorations to maintain balance.

    What to put on and around the sofa

    The sofa is the focal point of your living room, and with the right decor it can be made even more so.

    A large painting or a collection of frames on the wall behind it can add style and character to your space. If you prefer more minimal options, a mirror with a unique design or some wooden shelves with plants and small decorations are ideal to give it a more natural feel. Remember that whatever you choose should fit in with the overall style of your decor.

    Apart from the wall, the lighting around the sofa is equally important. An elegant floor lamp can create a comfortable relaxation area, while coffee tables with decorative objects such as candles or books add perspective and functionality.

    For the sofa itself, a few cushions in different colors and textures or a soft fabric throw can make your space feel warmer and more inviting. Play with contrasts, but make sure not to overload the space to maintain balance.
