Sofa furniture

Sofa furniture makes the living room cohesive

Sofa furniture, or a sofa group, is a direct route to a finished-looking living room . When the sofa, armchair and possible ottoman are in the same line, the whole looks calm without long adjustments. This also makes it easier in practice. There will naturally be more seating, and it is easier to divide the space into sitting and walking.

A sofa set is especially suitable for homes where the living room is an active place. It is where people watch TV, chat, work and take naps. When the furniture is chosen according to everyday life, it feels good every day, and not just when it has been cleaned to “presentation condition”.

Choose a sofa set based on the shape of the space and your everyday life

Small sofa furniture when square footage is limited

A 2+1-type sofa group or a narrow 3-seater and graceful armchair are often suitable for a small living room. The most important thing is that the passageways remain open and the seating area has breathing space. Graceful armrests and slightly higher legs lighten the look and make cleaning easier. If you are looking for alternatives for a smaller ensemble, 2-seater sofas and armchairs will help you build a functional pair.

Large sofa furniture when you want proper seating

In a larger space, the sofa group can be a 3+2 combination, a corner solution or a complete set finished with a divan. In this case, it is easier to emphasize lounging and a deeper seat, because there is also enough space for a coffee table and a rug. If the floor plan requires a clear L-shape, also look at corner sofas . If, on the other hand, you want a long seat without the entire furniture turning into a corner, divan sofas are often a natural direction.

Materials and upholstery: how the equipment feels and how it lasts

Fabric, bouclé and teddy for softness

Fabric sofa furniture feels warm and soft to many people. They are easy to match with the interior when the tone is repeated in the carpet or curtains, for example. Bouclé and teddy bring structure and coziness to the surface, but in everyday life it is worth preparing for light maintenance. Regular vacuuming and keeping the surfaces tidy will help to maintain a well-groomed look. Colors such as gray and beige are carefree, green brings character and white looks fresh when the whole is kept under control.

Leather, when you want timelessness and easy care

Leather sofa furniture is a practical choice in many homes, as the surface is often cleaned quickly by wiping. It also patinas, making the furniture look more alive over time, not just “used”. If this feel appeals to you, you can also find similar options as individual sofas in the leather sofas collection.

Characteristics that have the most impact on everyday life

When it comes to sofa furniture, attention is easily drawn to appearance, but in everyday life, it's the little things that matter. The firmness of the seat cushions affects whether your posture is maintained or your appearance becomes more relaxed. The height and support of the backrest determine whether it's easy to sit on the sofa for a long time. An ottoman can make the whole thing surprisingly much more comfortable, because you can straighten your legs without having to open the bed mechanism or buy a larger sofa. Here, ottomans complement the sofa group naturally.

If the furniture also requires a spare bed, it is worth looking into sofa beds and considering whether the bed is part of the sofa group or a separate solution. In many homes, the clearest combination is created when the spare bed is on its own sofa and the rest of the seating group remains light.

Frequently asked questions about sofa furniture

What is the difference between sofa furniture and a sofa group?

Sofa furniture and sofa group practically mean the same thing: a ready-to-match whole with several pieces of seating. Often the package includes a sofa and an armchair, sometimes also another sofa or ottoman. The advantage is that the proportions, design and upholstery match, so the end result looks calm without much searching. However, if you want to build the whole piece by piece, you can combine, for example, 2- and 3-seaters and an ottoman to suit your own space.

How do I choose the right size sofa set for my living room?

You choose the right size by measuring the space and leaving plenty of space for the passageways, so that everyday life can work even when you are busy. In a small living room, slender armrests and a moderate seat depth save a surprising amount of square footage. In a larger space, you can invest in a deeper seat, ottoman or divan, as long as the whole does not hinder movement around the seating area. A good rule of thumb is that there is a clear path around the sofa group, and the table is not “squeezed” between the sofa and the wall.

Should you choose leather or fabric sofa furniture?

It’s worth choosing a material based on your everyday life: leather is often carefree when you want a surface that can be cleaned quickly, and fabric feels warm and offers more texture options. Leather will patina and may look more vibrant over time, but it’s worth protecting it from constant scorching and drying heat. Fabric offers a wide range of shades and textures, and is great when you’re looking for softness. Bouclé and teddy bring coziness, but require a little more regular maintenance to keep the surface clean.
