Elevate your living room interior with the right sofa

The most important aspect of your living room's interior is the sofa. It is a timeless piece that will become the focal point of your home. It is an extension of your personality, which you express through various designs and styles. It is without a doubt the most important piece of furniture in your home. The sofa has undergone a remarkable transformation, and it continues to evolve as a result of changing preferences. The designs have evolved dramatically, from hardwood frames to delicate steel frames. You decide what goes with the theme of your home and office space. Here are some ideas to consider before purchasing a sofa.

 

1. Measure your living room space

Before you go shopping for a sofa, you should know how much space you have available. Otherwise, you may end up with a piece that is too small or too large for your space. But it's not just a matter of measuring dimensions; you also need to consider the proportions of the room as a whole. A low-slung sofa, for example, may get lost in a room with high ceilings, whereas a tall sofa may dominate a room with lower ceilings.

The best way to determine the footprint of your room is to measure the size of your space with a measuring tape. Draw a floor plan of the room after you've determined the dimensions, noting the locations of any doors, windows, and outlets.

This sectional is designed for 6 persons, providing smooth leisure or conversational spot for the whole family. The upholstery is called NAPPA fabric, creating a sturdy and versatile covering that will work out well in most of the decors.

What is Nappa fabric?

Nappa is a high-performance faux leather with a luxuriously soft, supple hand that mirrors the renowned soft temper of authentic Nappa leather. Nappa is strong and durable yet pliable to easily contour to today's contemporary furniture designs.

Nappa fabric is long-lasting and easy to clean, so homemakers need not freak out over dirty palm prints, spilled drinks, or sweat stains on the sofa, a quick wipe with a damp cloth will clean up the mess on the sofa. 

 

2. Analyse your lifestyle

Before delving into different sofa styles, consider your lifestyle and what you might need from a sofa on a daily basis. If you have a large family, a sectional sofa might be the best option. If you have pets or children, you should consider stain-resistant performance fabric upholstery. If relaxation and comfort are important to you, you should consider reclined motion sofas or sofa beds. Going into your shopping trip with a few keys "must haves" in mind will save you a significant amount of time and energy.

3. Select a style that is appropriate for your home

The furniture that is already in your living area is, of course, another consideration. We advise staying within this design category for your sofa if your side chairs, cocktail table, and console are all more conventional in style. Similarly to that, a modern sofa is typically necessary for a more contemporary home as a wonderful complement. You can still combine different styles, though, depending on how comfortable you are with design, just as long as the final makes a coherent, appealing message.

4. Choose a colour that complements your space

One of the key selections to be made right now is the colour of your sofa! You can go in a lot of various directions with this, from a bold statement to a fine pattern or a trustworthy neutral. There is absolutely no right or wrong choice of the palette as long as it is something you are confident you will adore (and never grow tired of) for years to come.

Manual v power recliner sofa

 

Manual recliners and power recliners are two popular types of recliners available on the market. Both offer a comfortable seating solution for your home, but there are some key differences between the two designs. 

 

Functionality

  • Manual recliners require you to manually adjust the back and footrests by pulling the lever or handle, while power recliners work with the press of a button or remote control. 
  • Power recliners allow you to adjust the back and footrests with the press of a button, while manual recliners require you to physically move the back to recline fully and footrests. Power recliners are more convenient and often come with additional features such as massage, heat, and vibration. Manual recliners are typically less costly than power recliners and may offer a more traditional look.

 

Comfort

  • Manual recliners generally provide less comfort than power recliners. We don’t have much control over the footrest & backrest angle or inclination like the power recliner does, but the limited level offered still provides comfort. Simply push your back to recline more.
  • Power recliners also offer a wider range of features than manual recliners, such as control over the angle or inclination level of the footrest and backrest, massage, heat, and other features that can help to relieve muscle tension and ease back pain. Power recliners are also available in a variety of styles and fabrics, so you can customize your chair to fit your home decor.

 

Cost

  • Manual recliners tend to be more affordable than power recliners, but they may require more effort and time when adjusting. The cost of a manual recliner can range from under $100 to over $1,000, depending on the features and material used. On the other hand, power recliners can range from $400 to over $2,000, depending on the features and material used. 

 

Ease of Use

  • Power recliners are generally more convenient to use than manual recliners and are often the best option for elderly or disabled people who may have difficulty using manual recliners. Power recliners usually come with buttons that allow you to recline and adjust the angle of the chair without having to physically move the chair. Some power recliners also come with adjustable lumbar support, adjustable headrests, and massage features.
  • Just by pulling the lever, the footrest will quickly pop up to a nice level of comfort. Unlike power recliners, which will take some time to go up with the press of a button.

 

Maintenance

  • Manual recliners require no electricity, making them a great choice for conserving energy and reducing maintenance costs.
  • Power recliners may require more maintenance and care than manual recliners, as the motors and electronics may need to be serviced or replaced from time to time.

 

In conclusion, it is important to consider both manual and power recliners when making a purchase. Manual recliners are more cost-effective, require less maintenance, and are ideal for those on a tight budget. However, power recliners offer more convenience, comfort, and features and are ideal for individuals with limited mobility. Ultimately, the choice of a manual or power recliner should be based on the user’s personal needs and preferences.

4 Different types of leather sofas

Leather sofas have always been a popular choice for people who want a durable and luxurious seating option for their homes. However, with the rise of different types of leather-like materials, such as air leather and PU leather, it can be difficult to understand the differences between them. In this article, we will explore the differences between genuine leather, air leather, leather air, and PU leather sofas.

 

Genuine Leather Sofa

A genuine leather sofa is a type of sofa made from the hides or skins of animals, typically cows. The term "genuine leather" means that the sofa is made from real leather and not from synthetic or imitation materials. Genuine leather sofas are typically considered to be high-quality and durable. Leather is a natural material that is known for its strength, flexibility, and ability to age well over time. Genuine leather also has a unique texture and appearance that can give a sofa a luxurious and sophisticated look. However, it's worth noting that not all leather is created equal. The quality of the leather can vary depending on factors such as the type of animal, the tanning process, and the finishing techniques used. Additionally, genuine leather sofas tend to be more expensive than sofas made from synthetic materials. It requires regular and higher upkeep. For example, keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as well as cleaning them regularly with leather conditioner. These make genuine leather not suited for everyone's budget.

 

Air Leather/Leather Aire Sofa

Air leather sofa is made of synthetic material and designed to have the appearance and similar texture of genuine leather sofa with the breathability of normal fabric. It’s more durable than other synthetic leather as it’s less prone to cracking, peeling, and fading over time. This material is all-season weather friendly. It has better breathability than other imitation leather which tends to stick on your body in the heat of hotter days and shock your skin on colder times. Air leather sofas are easier and more affordable to maintain than genuine leather sofas. When a spill happens, simply dab and wipe the stain with a warm soapy/damp cloth then dry with a soft microfiber cloth. Do wring the cloth so the water doesn’t soak too much into the sofa. Overall, a leather aire sofa can be a great choice for those who want the look and feel of real leather but don't want to pay the higher price or deal with the maintenance that comes with genuine leather.

 

PU Leather Sofa

PU leather sofa is a type of furniture made with a material known as polyurethane leather, also known as faux or synthetic leather. PU leather is a synthetic material that looks and feels like real leather but is made by bonding a layer of polyurethane to a backing material. It is the most affordable option of the four and is a popular choice for those on a budget. PU leather is also easy to clean and maintain, but it is not as durable as genuine leather and the rest. PU leather sofas have a smooth, uniform texture that is less natural-looking than genuine leather. A sofa made from PU leather can be a great choice for those looking for a durable, stylish, and affordable piece of furniture. However, it is important to note that the quality of PU leather can vary widely, with some being more durable and long-lasting than others.

 

Leather Gel Sofa

A leather gel sofa is a type of sofa that is made using a blend of materials, typically leather and a gel-like substance. The gel is usually made from polyurethane, which is a type of plastic material. The result is a material that has the look and feel of genuine leather but with a softer and more pliable texture. Leather gel sofas are often more affordable than genuine leather sofas, but still offer many of the same benefits, such as durability and a luxurious appearance. They are less prone to staining and easier to clean. Overall, a leather gel sofa can be a good choice for those who want the look and feel of leather without the high cost and maintenance requirements. However, it's important to keep in mind that the quality and durability of a leather gel sofa can vary depending on the specific materials used and the manufacturing process.

 

In conclusion, the main differences between genuine leather, air leather, PU leather, and leather gel sofas are their material, durability, texture, maintenance, and overall quality. When choosing a leather sofa, it is important to consider your budget, lifestyle, and personal preferences to find the option that is best for you.

We have various leather material sofas in different styles and colours for you to explore.
