Elite sofas

The expensive and high-quality repairs made by the sub-attachment of designers require appropriate furniture. Luxury sofa can be one of the key items of the entire interior.

The sofa is considered to be elite, if it is made from quality materials, has a unique design, is produced by a famous brand. Often this furniture is very expensive and at a cost may not be inferior to the newly made repairs.

Elite pays for the disadvantage associated with the price, because it is assumed that the sofa from the eminent manufacturer - quality. It is durable, will last more than a dozen years thanks to a reliable frame, upholstery will not lose color, will not be erased. For big money the buyer gets durable furniture, and sometimes designed on an individual project.

The choice of even a sofa in the premium cabin should be taken responsibly. An expensive piece of furniture is taken in order not to change it in five years, so he should not be disappointed. This sofa can be a worthy replenishment, which is not a pity to spend big money.

One of the classifications affects the number of seats. There are both compact double and triple sofas, as well as rather bulky structures for five or more persons.

Another classification concerns the possibility of transforming furniture. Thus, we can distinguish two categories: classic sofas, couches and folding models. The first are a single structure, parts of which are not moved apart. The second category is more extensive and, in turn, is divided according to the transformation mechanisms.

In total there are three different types:

• Unfolding. These include the type of "click-klyak", "book".The mechanism in these sofas is quite simple - one part must be raised to the characteristic clicks, after which parts of the design should be leveled. Such furniture is compact in assembled form, but when installing, you should take into account the spare distance necessary for unfolding from other objects and the wall.

• Retractable. Such a view involves rolling back the seat and lowering the backrest to the vacant seat. Another option is to roll out a lifting platform. This category includes the “Eurobook”, “dolphin”, “pantograph”, “puma”, “Conrad” mechanisms. Among their advantages is the resulting large bed. However, when placing the sofa, one should take into account a fairly wide withdrawable part, before which there should not be anything to stand.

• Unfolding. These are so-called sofas - folding beds. Ordinary seating places fold like a scroll, and in their place there is a folding bed with a mattress. The French and American models are the simplest ones. More complicated and expensive - Italian.

Also, sofas can be divided into different types depending on the upholstery - soft or hard, and additional functionality.So some models include underwear drawers and compartments. There are models with pillows or without, without armrests completely straight with them.

There are no specific rules that would apply these or other sofas to specific categories. The choice of model is due to the taste of the owners and the goals that they impose on the future sofa. You should decide on the necessary functionality and characteristics. So, the same sofa can become part of the nursery, and the kitchen.

For home, you should choose comfortable, soft and fit into the design of sofas. They perform an important function - rest during the day, and sometimes night sleep, so the criterion of comfort is very important. In this case, the design and mechanisms may be different, and their choice depends on the preferences of the apartment owners or the characteristics of the room.

Sofas for the street and porch, often simple in design. They do not fold out and are a place to sit. Their design is mostly simplified, designed in natural shades to fit into the environment. It should be remembered that the furniture in the street is subjected to many tests - temperature and humidity drops, exposure to sunlight, near insects, which not all materials will withstand.

The sofa for the living room can be either folding or not. It all depends on how often guests stay overnight and whether the size of the room allows them to accommodate the furniture in a disassembled form.

First of all, transforming models are suitable for daily sleep, because they significantly increase the size of the bed. However, some dimensional sofas and assembled will fit perfectly in order to sleep on them every day.

Kitchen sofas should be resistant to absorption of odors and fats. Both folding models and not are allowed. Often in the kitchen choose the angular options in order to save space.

Furniture for the nursery should be comfortable, safe and easy to clean. Favorable solutions are sofas with built-in drawers in which you can store bed linen or toys.

Elite sofas differ from others in the fact that in their production mainly natural materials and upholstery are used. Frameworks are made of solid wood, treated in a special way to increase their service life. As upholstery there are different fabrics, their choice depends on the tastes and design of the room.

Leather sofas, thanks to a spectacular appearance, suitable for both office and home. For elite sofas, most often natural material is used, but artificial, high-quality counterparts are also possible. The material is treated with different technologies, getting a matte, varnished, wrinkled, embossed, aged texture. Basically, this material does not tolerate competition with textiles, so they are not combined with blankets and covers. As a decor, only pillows are possible.

Suede - also leather, but treated in a special way to get a velvety soft surface. It is more fastidious and requires care with the help of special tools.

Especially luxurious look velvet and velor. These are fleece materials on which stampings and drawing can be applied. Silk is mainly used only for elite sofas. It has a decent price, but also high aesthetic and practical qualities - it is a smooth, comfortable, hypoallergenic material at any temperature.

Tapestry is used for Empire style baroque sofas.. Its peculiarity lies in a woven pattern, which consists of patterns and paintings.

Jacquard in the production of sofas is used everywhere. The elite segment has also touched this material, as it is wear-resistant and durable, it is subjected to different processing, application of color, patterns.

There is no single accepted standard for sizes; in general, it depends only on the design of the sofa and the intention of the manufacturer. The choice should depend on the purpose for which the furniture is purchased. To sleep on the sofa, the length of its own or folding parts should be from 150 to 190 cm, depending on the person's height. For comfort enough width of 140 cm.

Angular models are the most bulky and large, since they have a non-folding part - an ottoman. This should be taken into account and ensure that the furniture does not block access to the cabinet or door. The total length of the corner sofa can be from 150 cm, for example, in the nursery or in the kitchen, up to 210 cm and, rarely, even more.

For straight sofas, an average value of about 150–170 cm is most often relevant. There are also products that are small in length - 120–130 cm, but at the same time that are folding in width - up to 200 cm. On such sofas you need to sleep perpendicular to the back. There are simple, compact models for one person - couches and ottomans.

The following forms are possible with sofas: straight, angular, round and semicircular.

Straight sofas are the most common, as they are easier to enter into the rest of any interior. A similar model can be placed both near the wall and in the middle of the room, dividing it into zones.

Corner sofas fit perfectly into the situation of a room of small size, because they significantly save space. It is not necessary to place them directly in the corner.

Round sofas - not the most popular, but stylish option. They are quite difficult to fit into the already finished interior, but when creating it from scratch, such furniture can be made the center of the composition.

Semicircular sofas are large enough so that the shape they form is noticeable. Most often, these are models that are intended only for sitting, that is, they do not understand.

Manufacture of luxury furniture engaged in factories in many countries. Particularly famous are sofas from Italy, Germany, Spain. In Russia and the CIS countries there are also companies that deal with expensive, designer furniture.

When choosing a sofa premium class should take into account the peculiarities of the interior.So, leather will be appropriate in a minimalist modern style, but for refined classics or French luxury is more suitable, for example, tapestry.

High-quality sofas, for example, Italian, should be sought in salons, large furniture centers, official and proven stores, or in the catalogs of brands or designers. Counterfeits are not as common as in the fashion industry, but many informal shops have about underground production and make copies, rather than the original.
