While not always intentional, many homeowners engage in interior design practices when decorating their homes. A living space is much more than a place for someone to reside. With the right pieces and patterns, your home can serve as an extension of who you are. Whether you’re searching for an accent chair or a custom sofa, consider some tips and tricks that could help you find the perfect piece to suit your safe space.

5 Tips on How to Tailor Your Sofa to Fit Your Space

Selecting and purchasing your custom sofa only represents a small portion of the process. Different sofas work well in different living spaces and often suit different purposes. Before your custom couch arrives at your doorstep, remember DreamSofa’s top five tips to tailor your new piece.

  1. Consider Room Function

Upon selecting your newest furniture addition, place your couch in a room that best fits its function. If you have a designated conversational space where family and friends convene, a sofa in this room could offer a cozy place to rest your legs during a chat.

  1. Select the Right Size

You’ll want your sofa to sit comfortably in a room that suits it best. Make sure to balance out the proportions of your new sofa with your room’s longest wall. Sketching out your floor plan can help, allowing you to experiment with various arrangements.

  1. Factor in Existing Furniture

Adding new furniture to your growing collection can lead to some much-needed readjustments. Always consider how your new custom sofa will complement your existing pieces, factoring in how much space you’ll have left over.

  1. Maintain Traffic Flow

Traffic flow maintenance is crucial to carving out the proper place for your latest piece of furniture to sit. Be sure to steer your new sofa clear of any windows, walkways, or door frames, making it easy to move around.

  1. Overall Placement

Above all, you should place your new custom couch in a location that doesn’t clash with the other components in the room. Final placement should be a breeze once you’ve factored in any existing furniture and considered how the sofa will interact with traffic flow. 

From large, open floor plans to cozy, quaint quarters, customize your sofa to meet the needs of your living space. In addition to these suggestions, choosing the material, fabric, and proper dimensions encourages homeowners to personalize their space with the perfect sofa that pulls the room together.

Selecting a Couch That Complements Your Home and Style

DreamSofa recognizes the importance of having a wide selection of customizable options as you tailor your pieces to fit your space. Keeping size, layout, atmosphere, and aesthetics in mind, the design possibilities for your home are endless. As you pick your perfect couch, consider the following:

  • choice of foam or feather seats
  • fabric swatch options
  • kiln-dried hardwood frames

Upon making your selection, pick pieces using only the highest quality materials to craft your furniture.

Bringing Home Your New Sofa

As furniture shopping and other popular processes migrate online, the internet’s prominence increases. As a result, designing and purchasing a custom new sofa that fits your space couldn’t be easier. Your home often serves as more than just a roof over your head. The furnishings you choose to adorn your home should mirror what you are most fond of, and this couldn’t be more true for your next sofa.
