Buying a sofa for your living room might not be as hard as you think if you have gone through all the necessary details that are required. Often, people end up selecting the most basic design for their house.
You will be surprised to know that there are more designs for sofas than you can ever imagine. But of course, if you are not familiar with them, you would not be able to choose one for your household.
This article gives a brief idea about the different kinds of modern sofa design that are available. It will make you consider a lot of options and, ultimately, help you choose the one that you feel is perfect for your room.
Slipcovered Sofa
The biggest advantage of this type of sofa is the convenient way in which it can be cleaned. The slip can be easily removed and washed in case of any spills or stains. This would prevent you from worrying all the time and missing out on the fun. It gives a very farmhouse look.
Leather Sofa
While the material of leather may look very heavy and tough, it is extremely comfortable and soft to the touch. The heaviness makes it durable which lasts through the years. They can be made into different sizes to fit the area of your room.
Modern Chippendale Sofa
If your living room is small and is mostly used as a study, then the modern Chippendale sofa should be an appropriate choice. Its bench-like structure, thin armrests, and high back give a very cozy, but modern look.
Bridgewater Sofa
This is a basic sofa design that most people go for. Its design consists of arms that are of regular size, and a rolled back. It is quite sophisticated for any gathering. The cover can be customized to have a neutral color or can have patterns.
Camelback Sofa
As the name suggests, it has an arched back with exposed legs and rolled arms. This design gives a very formal look and calls for serious gatherings. They are popular in offices and other formal places, and not usually found in lounge areas.
Chesterfield Sofa
The Chesterfield gives a very chic look and needs a room of considerable size for itself. The back and the arms, which are high, are studded with diamond-shaped stones. Despite such a classy look, it is exceptionally comfortable and apt for family time.
Rattan Sofa
This is a very casual design and seems very appropriate if you install them in holiday homes that you visit once in a while. This woven sofa gives a very rustic vibe which makes it even more attractive and typical for casual hangouts.
Tuxedo Sofa
This, again, has a very classy look and needs to be installed in a room with equally classy decor. Its arms and back are of the same height giving the illusion of sitting in a box. It is usually tufted but can also be paired with cushions to make it feel more comfortable.
Upholstered Settee
This is the perfect sweet spot for being in when you get tired of the bed. They are small but just the right size to provide you with a cozy corner of your own. You can sit there for hours reading a book, or simply admiring the outside view through a window.
French Cabriole Sofa
The design for this sofa is as romantic as the French people. The wooden frame remains exposed and is sometimes decorated with carvings. This provides a very antique look and would look beautiful if the room is furnished accordingly. The carved wood can also be painted which makes it look very modern.
