Seating With Intention

The unsung hero of our homes, the sofa, is not just a piece of furniture but a sanctuary of comfort and connection. It holds countless memories of laughter, tears, and lazy Sunday afternoons. From movie marathons to heartfelt conversations, this humble masterpiece brings people together. Although it can feel overwhelming when looking for the right sofa, keep these tips in mind when making your choice.

Consider your lifestyle, and the main purpose of your living space. Are you someone that likes to entertain, or have cozy movie nights or maybe both? The purpose, shape and orientation are important as sectionals offer for more of an organic and inviting layout where sofas serve for a more formal setting.

Fabric is essential, determine your lifestyle, if you have children or pets and make sure to select a fabric that is durable, performance, easy to wash and with enough rubs. Measure your space and make the sofa your focal point, there should be ample space around the sofa for walking and 18″ inches away from the coffee table and other pieces of furniture is the sweet spot.

If possible, test the seats and be conscious of the firmness, depth and support. More casual sectionals will have deeper seats catered for lounging and sofas have a shorter seat depth.
