A sofa is one of the most important purchases you’ll make when decorating as it’s most likely the first furniture piece you’ll see when entering your home. Whether furnishing your first condo or updating your living space, we’re here to help you select the right sofa!

Every sofa comes with its own style, function, and vibe that can change up your space. It’s best to check it out in person and try a “sit test” to see how comfy it is.

Space Planner Tip 💡

“What kind of space are you currently in, and how long do you intend to stay? Homeowners planning to stay long-term can make more specific choices. For small spaces, select pieces that are functional and adaptable. Consider features like built-in storage or convertible designs if you need additional functionality.” — Darwin, Abenson Planning Studio Designer

2-seaters 

They are perfect for studio or one-bedroom units, or as a complementary piece in larger areas. They are often paired with accent chairs to complete the look. Due to their size, they offer versatile seating solutions without taking up too much space.

3-seaters 

They are ideal for a traditional living room setup, making them perfect for gatherings and accommodating large families.

Sectionals 

Best suited for open floor plans, a large sectional sofa can anchor a room and function as a space divider. It can separate the living area from the dining or kitchen. Adding throw pillows and blankets can tie the sectional into your overall decor and make it more inviting.

Sofa Bed 

When it comes to practical furniture, a sofa bed is a must-have for your home. It combines the best features of both a bed and a sofa in one. This type of sofa typically houses a hidden section that can be pulled out to reveal a mattress. It provides extra sleeping space during sleepovers with friends and family.

Space Planner Tip 💡

“If you enjoy changing your decor, a neutral sofa is a great choice. It serves as a blank canvas, allowing you to add colorful accents, trends, or switch up your room’s paint color without reupholstering. Alternatively, if you prefer making a statement, opt for a bold sofa with a vibrant color. Choose what you like and have fun with it!” — Ellen, Abenson Planning Studio Designer

Fabric 

When picking out a sofa, consider not just what looks great in your space but also what fits your lifestyle. Some fabrics may look and feel luxurious but won’t stand the test of time with kids and pets. Natural fabrics include cotton, linen, wool, and leather. Nylon, acetate, and rayon are among the more common synthetic alternatives.

Color 

A bright sofa can serve as a statement piece in a neutral space or become the main theme of the entire room.

Consider leather

Leather is easy to clean, always in style, and wears well with age. Known for its beautiful colors, leather develops a rich patina over time and is also a great choice if you have pets.

Cushion

When choosing the right cushions for your sofa, comfort and support should be top priorities. Cushions can significantly affect how comfortable the sofa is to sit on. For family movie nights, opt for sofas that are cushy and comfortable, allowing you to sink in and relax. Sofas in kids’ zones, on the other hand, need to be more durable.

The final step before buying

Now that you know the sofa you want for your space, it’s time to get the right measurements. Make sure to measure your doorways, hallways, even the elevator of your condo, and most importantly, the area you want to put your sofa in. Use a measuring tape to get the height and width of ceilings, interior walls, door frames, and even the other furniture pieces you will be matching it with. 

Don’t forget to check the measurements of the sofa you are planning to buy and compare them to the dimensions of your space! 😉
