“Yes, but how do I know which sofa is the right one for me?” That is a question we hear quite often here at Wohnidee. But if you follow these 5 tips, it will be easy to answer – either by yourself or with a little help by us!
- Make a list of your needs and wishes!
Should the sofa fit a certain interior design concept? Do you use it mainly for TV evenings with your family or rather for formal invitations to impress your guests? The more you know what needs your sofa should serve, the happier you will later be with your choice. - Look around for examples that appeal to you!
Do you already know of any sofas that you like? Our Wohnidee website or design magazines are good places to look for styles, materials, and colours that you like. Don’t forget that the living rooms of your friends might also serve as sources of inspiration! If you already have an idea of what you like, it’ll be easier to contain the search. - Consider the available space and room dimensions! We usually recommend drawing a ground plan of your living room and trying to place the sofa in it. You’ll save yourself time and nerves if you know whether a sofa will fit into your living room before you embark on an in-depth research about a particular piece.
- Ask for advice! You don’t have to go it alone. Sometimes an outside perspective can bring to light new aspects or needs you haven’t thought about. Come into our Wohnidee shop for a personal consultation or ask an interior designer of your choice.
- Purchase the sofa from a partner whom you know and trust. Such a partner will help you choose a sofa with which you’ll be happy in the long-term, instead of encouraging an impulse buy that you’ll regret later on.
We are convinced that if you follow these 5 tips, you’ll soon find your new favourite sofa.
