Upholstery
The practicality and life of the sofa to a large extent depend on its upholstery. Experts advise choosing the type of upholstery taking into account the load. A family with small children, pets is suitable for upholstery from the flock, scotchguard, and matting. The skin and eco -leather are washed well, but they suffer from claws of pets.

Stationary, modular and island
Constructive differences between sofas from each other. We consider the advantages and disadvantages of each group.
- Stationary sofa. Its size and shape are unchanged. They are straight and located along the walls in small rooms, and corner – are located in the corner of the room, require more space. Both types may not be folding or have a transformation mechanism. Pros: Suitable for relaxation and sleep. Minus: unchanged size and shape.
- Modular sofa. This model, as the name implies, is assembled from individual parts – modules. A full -fledged berth is collected from these elements, and if necessary, it is divided into separate parts – a small sofa and chair. Pros: convenience of transformation, suitable for small rooms. Cons: a berth is not always provided, and the price is above the usual stationary sofa.
- Island sofa. Furniture, which is used only with one purpose – to equip a recreation area. Such sofas have an attractive look from all sides, installed in the center of the room, complemented by the same sofas or chairs similar in style. Pros: stylish furniture that sets tone and compositional center. Cons: high price, lack of sleeping space, often there is no transformation mechanism.

The main styles of sofas
The sofa takes up a lot of space, this is perhaps the largest and most noticeable element in the interior. Therefore, when selecting it, ignoring the sofa style will not work.
Provence
Characteristic features of style are grace, simplicity, conciseness and clear lines, vintage, antique practical things, a lot of textiles. Furniture made of natural materials, with an aged surface artificially or with traces of time. Natural upholstery – textiles of soft pastel colors, sometimes with a small floral print. A sofa in the Provence style will be made of wood painted in light tones, with linen upholstery or mixed cotton fabric.

Loft
The style is based on industrial premises adapted for housing. Hence the open communications, brick and concrete walls, a ceiling in the style of factory ceilings in the mid -20th century.
This style does not like excessive furniture. The sets and furniture groups should be left for other more classic concepts. In the loft style, furniture is installed along the walls, as if emphasizing the most free space of rooms.

As we have already said, the sofa is a universal and appropriate furniture in any room of the house and apartments. The question will be only in size and purpose.
Living room
Several questions will help to choose the best option for furniture:
- What will the sofa be used for? You need a place to put guests or a berth.
- How often are you at home? The sofa is furniture for entourage in the living room or a place to relax.
- Do you have small children and pets? This question will help you choose furniture with comfortable upholstery.
When choosing a sofa in the living room, it is important that the owner decides on his appointment. Because for different models of the sofa, their characteristic features are inherent, which do not always make it possible to apply it multifunctionally. For example, if the seedling of guests is important to you, then I have a more sloping shape convenient for sitting. But sleeping on such a couch will already be inconvenient.

Children’s
It is preferable to choose a compact sofa bed in the children’s room. Standard size: depth 90 cm, width 150 cm. Larger models are selected for adolescents.

In addition, such sofas will reduce injuries during games in the nursery.
