Planning Your Space

Before choosing a sofa, take time to measure your room and consider how the space is used.

Think about:

  • Room dimensions
  • Doorways and hallways for delivery access
  • Existing furniture placement
  • Walkways and circulation space
  • TV positioning and focal points

Choosing the correct size sofa will ensure your room feels comfortable, balanced and functional.

What Matters Most When Choosing a Sofa?

Comfort

Consider how you'll use your sofa. Do you prefer a firmer sit with more support or a softer sofa designed for lounging and relaxation?

Material

Fabric, leather and performance fabrics each offer different benefits. Choose a material that suits your lifestyle, maintenance preferences and décor.

Durability

Busy family homes may benefit from hard-wearing fabrics and sturdy frames designed to withstand everyday use.

Style

From modern and minimalist designs to classic and traditional styles, your sofa should complement the look and feel of your home.
