Tips for choosing the best couches for your house
Updated | By Poelano Malema
Getting a new set of couches is a big deal. You want to make sure that you choose correctly. We give you six tips on how to pick the best couches for your home.
There is no doubt that every house needs to have comfortable, good-looking couches. But with so many different couches on the market, one can be confused as to which ones are the best choice.
Let us help you choose right with the tips below:
Make sure you get the right fabric
Before choosing fabric, think about who will use the couch. Do you have kids or grandchildren that love to spend time sitting on couch? If yes, you may want to consider buying leather, wool or microfiber couches. These fabrics are easy to clean and are durable. If you are not worried about kids, but want something elegant that will also last for a long time, rather go for Belgian linen or fluffy Tibetan wool couches.
Consider the seat depth
You want to make sure that your couch is comfortable, so choose the right seat cushions and sit on different couches to see which ones feel the most comfortable. For those who love to lounge back, the best option is to go for a deeper seat depth.
Choose the right seat height
It's important that you choose a couch that allows your feet to touch the floor comfortably. Avoid couches that will give you back problems. Research has found that soft couches can cause back problems as they do not encourage good posture. Rather choose firm couches that will support your neck and back and consider choosing ones that also have the right arm rest height.
Easy to clean
The last thing you need is to be stuck with couches that are either difficult or expensive to clean. The best option is to go for couches that have removable cushions and lining.
Choose the right colour
Due to the size, couches are likely to stand out, so you have to choose the right colour, otherwise you may find yourself regretting your choice. Choose a colour that will not limit you in case you decide to change your wall paint and decor. Natural colours such as cream, tan, beige, brown, grey, and white are timeless.
