The sofa is the star of the living room: where you spend the most time and the piece that sets the tone for the whole space. Choosing well matters, because it's an investment meant to last for years. Here is our interior designers' advice on choosing the perfect sofa.
1. Size and layout
Before you fall for a model, measure your living room and the access doors. A sofa that's too big overwhelms the room; one that's too small falls short. Think about the shape too: straight, L-shaped (chaise longue) or modular, depending on your space and how you use it.
2. Fabric and filling
- Fabrics — linen and cotton (natural), or stain-resistant technical fabrics if you have kids or pets
- Filling — feather for a soft look, high-density foam for more firmness
- Removable covers — very practical for cleaning
- Colour — neutrals last longer; save the colour for cushions
3. Quality and comfort
Check the frame (solid wood is best), the stitching and the warranty. And above all, try it: comfort is personal. In our living room furniture showroom in Mijas you can sit on every model before deciding, and even order your sofa bespoke.
