How to choose the ideal sofa for your living room?

The sofa reigns at the heart of the living room, in this space where you spend your best moments. Its choice therefore deserves particular attention, as it directly influences your daily comfort and the ambiance of your interior.

Beyond style, it's a lasting investment that must withstand the test of time. The quality of materials, comfort, and craftsmanship are all essential elements to consider in making the right choice.

So, what criteria should you consider to find the ideal sofa? Follow our guide!

The art of arranging your space

Arranging a living room is an exercise that requires taking many parameters into account. Before embarking on choosing a sofa, we recommend a methodical approach. Start with an analysis of your space:

Take precise measurements

• Available floor space: taking into account radiators and electrical outlets
• Ceiling height: particularly important for large models
• The width of circulation areas: with a minimum of 80 cm recommended
• The optimal distance from other furniture (60 cm minimum)

Observe natural light

• Window orientation and sun exposure
• Shadow and light zones according to times of day
• Their impact on the choice of colors and materials

Analyze focal points

• The location of the fireplace or TV
• The view to the outside
• Natural circulation paths in the room

Our advice: Photograph your space from different angles and at different times of day. Then create a plan including measurements and room features. This approach will allow you to more easily visualize the different possible configurations.

The dimension guide for a well-proportioned living room

The size and configuration of your room largely determine the most suitable type of sofa. Here are our recommendations according to your situation.

Which sofa for spaces over 25m²?

Large spaces allow for the installation of a corner sofa or modular composition, like our Angie chaise lounge sofa.

A corner sofa to create distinct living spaces

• It naturally creates distinct zones by optimizing volumes
• It offers numerous seating places
• It can incorporate a chaise lounge for more modularity

A modular composition for more flexibility

• Its reversibility offers adaptation to the evolution of your needs
• Circulation is facilitated in the room
• It is ideal for L-shaped living rooms

Which sofa for a living room between 15 and 25m²?

For these intermediate spaces, the straight sofa stands out as the ideal solution. Our Gabriel model perfectly illustrates this sought-after balance: its clean lines and harmonious proportions integrate naturally into your interior. Its timeless silhouette allows you multiple arrangement possibilities, whether as a centerpiece or accompanied by armchairs to create a cohesive and welcoming ensemble.

Comfort: the art of well-being

The comfort of a sofa is based on a subtle balance between several technical elements. Our years of expertise have allowed us to define the precise criteria that guarantee an optimal experience.

Ergonomics in service of your comfort

The perfect seat is based on precisely calculated dimensions. Seat depth plays a crucial role: 80 cm invites absolute relaxation, while 60 cm offers ideal versatility for all daily uses. To personalize your comfort, additional cushions allow you to adjust this depth according to your preferences.

The seat height, above 40 cm, is not random. It represents the optimal balance between seating comfort and ease of standing up, suitable for most body types.

Materials selected to last

The longevity of our sofas is based on rigorous material selection and a demanding manufacturing process:

• Carefully selected solid wood structures
• Upholstery tested for resistance to daily wear
• Reinforced seams at tension points

Each assembly, each finish is carried out with particular attention, guaranteeing not only the aesthetics but also the durability of your sofa over the years.
