How to Choose the Right Sofa for Your Living Room

1. Consider the Size and Scale

Before selecting a sofa, measure your living room carefully. The size of the sofa should fit comfortably in the space without overwhelming it. A good rule of thumb is to have the sofa occupy around two-thirds of the available wall space, while leaving room for other furniture pieces like side tables or a coffee table.

If you’re working with a larger room, you may opt for a sectional sofa, perfect for creating a cozy gathering space. For smaller spaces, a loveseat or a more streamlined design might be ideal to keep the room feeling spacious yet inviting.

2. Choose a Style That Complements Your Home

The style of your sofa should reflect the overall design of your home. If you have a traditional or classic interior, rolled arms and tufted backs can add an elegant touch. For modern or minimalist spaces, opt for sleek designs with clean lines.

At Keck Furniture, we offer a range of sofa styles, whether you’re looking for a traditional centerpiece or a modern sectional. Our custom options allow you to select everything from fabric to finish, ensuring your new sofa perfectly complements your home decor.

3. Think About Comfort and Cushioning

Your sofa will likely be one of the most used pieces of furniture in your home, so comfort is key. Consider how you’ll be using the sofa:

• Lounging: If your sofa is for relaxing and watching TV, you may want a deeper seat or a reclining feature. Many of our Flexsteel sofas offer reclining options for added comfort.
• Entertaining: For social gatherings, a sectional with ample seating or a sofa with a firmer cushion may be better suited for your needs.

4. Upholstery and Material Choices

The material of your sofa plays a crucial role in its longevity and maintenance. If you have pets or small children, opt for durable, easy-to-clean materials like leather or performance fabrics. These materials resist stains and wear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.

At Keck Furniture, you can select from a wide range of upholstery options, including performance fabrics that are both stylish and practical. We offer fabrics from trusted brands that are built to withstand everyday life while maintaining their elegance.
