How To Select The Right Corner Sofa For Your Needs
Before you settle for a design, there are a few things to do:
- Measure the space you need it to occupy.
From the images on display, these seats looks can be deceiving. Avoid assumptions. The set can look perfectly suitable but fail to fit the available space. Ensure you take the measurement and compare with the dimensions on the manufacturers guide. As you measure, be careful to consider leaving an allowance for the doors and windows as well as walking area.
- Consider the color and design
The seat should add flavor to the already existing furniture. You can get matching colors or add accessories to tie with the color scheme. You can also opt for a seat with neutral non-competing colors then compliment with throw pillows.
Some fabric design combination can make your room look congested instead of cozy. Imagine mixing check prints, shapes, stripes and flower prints all in the same room. No matter how artistic you want to be, you need to be cautious or else the house will end up lacking order.
The sofa color and fabric design should complement each other. You may want to consult an interior designer to help you with this.
- Detachable or single unit
Some corner seats are made to work as a single unit. Once assembled, you can hardly detach to use the seats separately. Other seats can be detached and mixed with other furniture. Each piece works perfectly on its own and is equally perfect with all the pieces assembled.
Some seats come with an ottoman that you can use for storage, for extending your seat or as a foot rest.
- Right or Left hand facing
Depending on which side the longer part of the sofa will be. The seat will be initialized LHF for left hand facing and RHF for right hand facing. Ensure you verify the right fit for your space before purchase.
- Your budget
Determine how much you want to spend on the purchase and shipping. Some suppliers deliver to your door step while others have a collection office. Some offer free shipping while others chare the cost with you.
How To Take Care Of Your Sofa
- Vacuum frequently
Dirt makes the fabric dull and turns the seat into old and mucky furniture. Vacuuming will help sustain its original beauty; especially the color. It’s also recommended that you clean your sofas professionally at least once a year.
- Alternate the cushions positioning
Where applicable and as much as you can, do not maintain the cushion in the same position. This makes the cushion wear out on the same spot. Rotating the cushions weekly enables the fibre and the foam to recover.
As you rotate the cushions, pressure is exerted on all sides thus the cushion wears out evenly. This simple routine more than doubles its lifetime making it look good and maintain comfort for longer.
- Avoid stains by cleaning spills immediately
In case of spills, grab a white towel or cloth and blot out as much as you can. Do not scrub or rub. Avoid using a colored cloth or towel to clean in case the dye comes off and stains further.
Dried in stain require a lot more work. Check in your manual if there’s a “care for your furniture” guide on how to handle stains. You can also search how to clean stains on “fabric type/fabric name” on the internet.
- Keep fabric sofas away from direct sunlight
Direct sunlight can damage/taint the fabric color. On days that are sunny and bright, you can draw back the curtains to prevent direct sun rays from reaching your sofa.
- Sit in the middle of the chair
Sitting on the edges and on the arms distorts the fabric and the padding. Train the children and other users to sit the right way.
- Avoid pulling off hanging threads
All fabrics are prone to cuts, scratches – especially by pets, toys and other sharp objects. Don’t get tempted to pull out the threads, instead, cut them at the source to hinder further damage.
- Avoid frequent pushing of the seat back and forth
This maintains the attached joints firmly held. Lots of movement can reduce their life span.
Final thoughts
The tricky part of these seats is the assembling. You may have a good seat but destroy it in the process of assembling. Follow the manual instructions closely as you assemble. Remember, this determines the durability of your seat.
Designing a small space can be hectic. Squeezing furniture in and making the room presentable demands creativity. It doesn’t have to be this way though, choosing a corner seat will help you save space and add flavor to your room.
