Size and layout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you fall for a model, measure your living room and the access doors. A sofa that&#8217;s too big overwhelms the room; one that&#8217;s too small falls short. Think about the shape too: <strong>straight, L-shaped (chaise longue) or modular<\/strong>, depending on your space and how you use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Fabric and filling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Fabrics<\/strong> \u2014 linen and cotton (natural), or stain-resistant technical fabrics if you have kids or pets<\/li><li><strong>Filling<\/strong> \u2014 feather for a soft look, high-density foam for more firmness<\/li><li><strong>Removable covers<\/strong> \u2014 very practical for cleaning<\/li><li><strong>Colour<\/strong> \u2014 neutrals last longer; save the colour for cushions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/maximofurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/decoracion-interiores-costa-del-sol-maximo.jpg\" alt=\"Sofa fabrics, colours and styles for the living room on the Costa del Sol\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Quality and comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the frame (solid wood is best), the stitching and the warranty. And above all, <strong>try it<\/strong>: comfort is personal.
