Determine Your Style for a Customised Living Room

Your sofa should mirror your style and complement the overall aesthetic of your living space. Whether you lean towards traditional, contemporary, or mid-century modern designs, details like arm shape, leg style, and overall silhouette matter. Opt for a sofa that seamlessly blends with your existing decor, crafting a personalized and inviting atmosphere. Consider Italian-style options such as our elegant Chocolate Sofa or the luxurious Cloud Modular Sofa for a touch of sophistication.

Consider Arm and Back Height for Optimal Comfort

The arm and back height significantly impact both comfort and style. Choose low-profile and sleek arms for a modern look or go for high and padded arms for added support and relaxation. Consider personal preferences, such as head support or versatile seating positions. Similarly, select a back height aligned with your comfort needs and desired support level. Explore our extensive range, including the plush comfort of the Plush Sofa or the versatile design of the Tofu 4 Seater Sofa.

Size and Proportions for an Ideal Fit

Accurate measurements ensure a seamless fit for your sofa within the living space. Measure the available space, considering length, width, and height restrictions. Take note of doorways, corners, and potential obstacles that might affect sofa delivery and placement. Maintain a balanced and harmonious layout by paying attention to room size and proportions. Our range includes options like the versatile and space-efficient Verona Sofa or the grandeur of the Bloom Sofa for various living room dimensions.

Assess Comfort and Support with Plush Upholstery

Comfort should top your priority list while selecting a sofa. Evaluate seat depth and backrest height for a comfortable sitting experience. Deeper seats facilitate lounging and relaxation, while shallower seats encourage a more upright and formal seating position. Test cushions for a balance between firmness and plushness, ensuring adequate support. Choose upholstery in vibrant, bold fabrics or luxurious leather for a soft and welcoming feel. Explore customization options to tailor the sofa to your comfort preferences. Our offerings include a vast range, from the inviting Petal Sofa to the modern elegance of the Loaf Sofa, ensuring comfort meets style seamlessly.

Evaluate Durability and Quality for a Lasting Investment

Invest in a sofa designed to withstand the test of time. Examine the frame, which should be constructed from durable materials like hardwood, metal, or high-density sponge. Reinforced joints and a well-built frame signify quality craftsmanship. Opt for stain-resistant and easily cleanable upholstery fabrics to ensure longevity. Look for reputable manufacturers or retailers renowned for their durable, high-quality products. At The Feelter, our pride lies in our reputation, forged through strong relationships with trusted manufacturers.
