The sofa is an important piece in your interior. When furnishing or restyling the living room, the sofa plays a big role. Of course it's important that the quality is excellent, the sofa is comfortable to sit on and the dimensions suit the space. But a sofa also defines the look of your interior. Do you like a calm base in a white or grey tone with colourful accents? Or do you go for a statement and choose a sofa in colour and/or an unusual shape? If you choose a sofa with care, you give your interior a stylish and personal upgrade.

Multifunctional
A sofa has to meet lots of requirements. As well as a place to relax, it also serves as a workspace, home cinema or quiet spot for lunch. Think about this carefully beforehand and tailor your choice to the number of people in the household and their daily activities. How important is the seating area to you? What does the seating area need to offer? Ask yourself these questions before you choose a sofa. Also think about the finish of the fabric: furniture can be given an extra treatment so the fabric stays clean and beautiful for as long as possible.
Size
We'd all love a big sofa, but that isn't suitable or desirable in every space. In a smaller space, a two- or three-seater sofa is advisable. You can add a separate pouffe or an armchair if you like. That way you still create enough seating, and the room stays spacious and flexible. A larger space lends itself well to a corner sofa or a sofa with a chaise longue. You can also choose a modular sofa that you can put together entirely yourself. It looks beautiful to place the sofa freestanding in the room or a little away from the wall. Keep the space around the sofa as clear as possible for an airy effect.

Shape
Sofas haven't been straight and angular for a long time. Lots of different shapes and playful combinations are possible. We're seeing more and more rounded finishes and organic shapes. This gives your living room a calm and friendly look. You can echo the round shapes in home accessories or, for example, a round rug. That way you create more unity in the interior.

Material
The material also plays a decisive role in the overall look. There are lots of options: fabrics in different colours, leather for a more classic or a tougher look, velvet for a luxurious feel, and wool, which is warm and soft to the touch. Sustainable versions are also playing an increasingly important role. Do you have pets or young children? Then a removable cover might be the best choice.
