What shape of sofa is best for your space

A sofa is a crucial component of any space. It is safe to conclude that a sofa is the mainstay and staple of all living rooms. A sofa is the place most people feel the most relaxed,the most comfortable and at home. There are numerous variables like style, size, fabric, and shape to take into consideration when it comes to choosing the right type of sofa for your space. Here we take a closer look at ‘What shape of sofa is best for your space’ and offer to help you find ‘the one’.

Modular sofa

Are you faced with a tricky or unusual space? Then a modular sofa is ideal for you. Modular sofas can be assembled or put together like building blocks to create any shape. They often come in individual seat units, with the option of chaise and corner pieces, to build your sofa to suit your space.

High back sofa

If you have a relatively large space, coupled with high ceilings, then a high back sofa is a great choice for you. High back sofas add an air of elegance, grandeur and splendour to a space. High back sofas are great for drawing the eyes upwards helping to show the magnificence of the room. Tip: High back sofas are not suited to small spaces as they disrupt the eye line and make the space seem smaller.

Traditional sofa

One of the greatest fundamentals to styling is to keep all the pieces in the space reflective of the style of the room regardless of personal style. Style defers considerably; whether you’re a traditionalist or favour more modern interiors. A traditional sofa gravitates towards an effortless and timeless style which is unlikely to date, making it a solid investment piece. Tip: Leather is an excellent choice for traditional sofas which doesn’t date with time (in fact it often looks better with age).

Modern sofa

A modern sofa is best described as a smart and stylish seat that has more clean, angular lines than a traditional style sofa. Modern sofas tend to have an ideal alchemy of form and function with metal or ski-style legs, and have lower backs and slim frames and arms. Tip: Due to modern sofas having smaller proportions than traditional sofas, they are an ideal choice for smaller properties and rooms.

Corner sofa

Corner sofas sometimes referred to, ‘L-shaped’ sofas are excellent for making the most of awkward corners. These come in a wide range and are available in modular and set styles. L-shaped sofas are useful for fitting into smaller spaces and even to segment a longer room into different zones. Tip: Corner sofas are extremely useful as they maximise floor and seating space.
