The sofa can be said to be the largest piece of furniture in the living room, occupying an important main position. The placement of the sofa will directly affect the aesthetics of the living room and the convenience of life. Depending on the house type and living habits, there are often differences in the selection, placement and matching of sofas.
How to choose a sofa:
1. Look at the type of sofa
There are three common types of sofas on the market, namely leather sofas, fabric sofas and wooden sofas. Leather sofas are divided into genuine leather and artificial leather. If you want to buy genuine leather, you must ask whether you are using yellow cowhide or buffalo cowhide.
Because the yellow cowhide is better, the buffalo cowhide is hard and not durable, and it will start to peel after about a year. Fabric sofas are divided into flannel, pure cotton, linen, cloth-cotton, etc. The advantages and disadvantages of different fabrics are different.
but it is not recommended to choose non-toxic cloth, because non-destructive cloth is easy to age. Wooden sofas are selected according to wood, craftsmanship, style, etc. Among them, the simple shape can be matched with a variety of styles.
2. Filling in the sofa
Sofas are generally filled with sponge, rayon, down, etc. The advantages of sponge are softness, high air permeability and good resilience.
The biggest advantage of rayon is that it is soft and comfortable, but has poor mechanical properties and low compression load, and is often used as a cushion.
Down-filled sofas are easy to deform and have a long service life, but they have poor resilience, high cost, and are not suitable for southern or humid areas.
3. Sofa frame
The sofa frame is made of solid wood and plank wood (multi-layer board), and the solid wood is much more environmentally friendly and durable than the plank wood. However, the price of solid wood frame is also more expensive than that of plank wood, and solid wood is also divided into different wood species. Pine and fir are generally soft and easy to deform, while birch is much better.
After choosing a suitable sofa style, you should pay special attention to the placement of the sofa. The correct placement method can make the living room more beautiful, and make full use of the space, so that the living room has more activity areas.

The more classic one is a three-person sofa with a two-person sofa next to it and a few chairs next to it to form a U shape. This arrangement will not make Nuoda's living room look empty, and it can accommodate more people. Relatives and friends sit around in a group, which is very happy and has a very good atmosphere.
