Tips for choosing
The choice of the couch should be taken as seriously as possible, since a model of the wrong style or size can spoil the interior.
If you are going to go to the store for such furniture, you need to measure the room in which you plan to place it.
For small spaces, it is recommended to choose small models with a single bed and a low back. If square meters allow, you can put a more impressive model - with a spacious double bed for sleeping, an elegant back and armrests.
If you plan to put a couch in the kitchen or in the hallway, it is better to choose a narrower option.In such conditions, products with leather or non-marking fabric upholstery will look harmonious, as the couch can be easily and quickly soiled in the kitchen and in the hallway.
Upholstery color should match the color of the main ensemble. Against the background of soft beige walls and brown laminate floor, you should put an elegant couch with a curved back upholstered in pink fabric and a soft pastel shade.
Decide on what upholstery you like best. A non-fancy leather trim has a more attractive appearance, but it will not be very comfortable to sleep and rest on its surface. In the cold season on such a couch will be cool, and in the hot period you risk sticking to the upholstery.
Textile surface is recognized as more comfortable, but to care for it is a little more difficult. Try to protect such a couch and promptly get rid of dirty spots on its surface, if any. If you do not get rid of dirt in time, then they just soak the fabric. Displays them will be very difficult.
