Today, buyers are faced with a huge selection of various sofas, which are distinguished not only by the highest quality, but also by their spectacular appearance.

With the right sofa, you can set the overall tone of the living room. Without such a detail, the room will be not only empty, but also of little use.

An ultramodern sofa, which has a built-in stereo system or a safe with a combination lock, is also suitable for the living room. Such options are not cheap, but with the help of them you can emphasize a stylish interior and make it more high-tech.

One of the most popular and widespread are sofas with folding mechanisms. When folded, they are compact and mobile. If you spread them out, then you will see a spacious and comfortable sleeping place where you can accommodate guests who have spent the night.

Modern manufacturers offer consumers not only ordinary rectangular sofas, but also luxurious models of U-shaped and L-shaped corner structures, sectional ones. Such specimens are comfortable and spacious.

With the help of a sofa, you can zone the space. Owners of studios and one-room apartments most often turn to such techniques.

The sofa for the living room can be absolutely anything. Today in stores you can see a huge assortment of high-quality beautiful upholstered furniture of different styles.

One of the most popular are classic straight sofas. These models look great in different interiors. They can have various configurations. Most often, there are standard options with armrests and backrests of medium height.

Often, such models are placed in children's rooms, since they are safe and do not have sharp corners or hard parts that can be tripped or hurt.

Luxurious corner models are another popular type of lounge sofas. They are U-shaped or L-shaped. Such upholstered furniture has a stylish modern appearance.Corner sofas are more roomy and spacious than classic straight models.

The corner sofa can be placed in a spacious or small room. The main thing is to choose a model of suitable sizes. So, for a compact living room, you can pick up a neat light corner that will not take up much space.

Radial models look stylish and modern in living rooms. Such models have a rounded shape. Most often they have at least three sections. The most common are four-seater products. Slightly less common are three-section options.

If you like non-standard solutions, then you should take a closer look at unusual two-sided sofas. In such furniture, the seats are located on both sides, and the backrest separates them.

The higher are the comfortable legged options. These parts are made from a wide variety of materials, but the most common furniture is furniture with wooden or metal legs. The second option is painted, unpainted or chrome.

Lightweight guest sofas are equipped with legs. Such models outwardly resemble compact benches with armrests, backrests and soft seats. Light options do not fit into all interiors, so you should choose them very carefully.

Large sofas are suitable for a spacious living room. Corner and oval products are common. Such types of upholstered furniture look solid and attractive.

The length of these options can reach 400 cm, and the depth - 200 cm or more.

• The classic colors are white and beige. People often hesitate to buy furniture in this design, fearing that it will easily get dirty and quickly lose its original appearance. A sofa with leather upholstery does not know such problems, since any stains can be easily removed from its surface.

• Burgundy sofas look aristocratic. These models look great in both modern and classic styles.

• A delicate and cozy living room will turn out if it is complemented by a light blue sofa. Charming celestial models look best on a white background.

For the upholstery of sofas, natural leather, leatherette or fabric is used.

The natural material is durable and durable. But real leather sofas aren't cheap. Upholstered furniture upholstered in leatherette or eco-leather will cost less. Outwardly, such materials are in many ways similar to natural ones, but are less durable. They do not like temperature changes and damage easily remains on their surface.

Eco leather is softer and smoother than leatherette. Today, such raw materials are widely used in furniture production, as they are inexpensive and look attractive.

Fabric sofas are also popular today. The most commonly used fabrics for upholstery are flock, plush, velor and matting.

Consider several harmonious combinations of sofas in the living room interior.

• A large U-shaped sofa in dark gray or black can be placed in a spacious room opposite the windows. Such upholstered furniture will harmoniously look against the background of white walls and a beige floor, complemented by a fleecy carpet of creme brulee color. It is worth adding decor in orange tones to the interior (vases, paintings, etc.).

• A white L-shaped sofa with red and purple pillows will find its place in a living room with white or cream walls, light beige laminate flooring and a snow-white stretch ceiling.The interior is completed with a beautiful red chandelier, mirrored wardrobe, wooden bookshelves and large wall paintings above the sofa.

• A cream-colored leather sofa will look spectacular against the backdrop of dark walls and a gray floor lined with matte tiles. Opposite the furniture, you can put a black and brown coffee table and lay a beige carpet with a high pile under it. To dilute the gloomy atmosphere should be the design of one of the walls in white and a decorative monochrome picture.

• The purple and cream straight sofa can be placed in a small living room with cream walls and brown laminate flooring. Light shelves for books should be hung above the furniture, and a white table of an unusual shape should be placed in front of it.

• A turquoise sofa will look spectacular against a backdrop of cream-curtained windows, white walls and a dull brown floor. Opposite it should be placed a glass table with black legs, and on the sides - glass tables under round purple lamps.

A laconic and discreet sofa with regular and angular shapes is suitable for a living room in the Art Nouveau style. Most often these are models of white, gray, black and beige shades.

The English style is characterized by the presence of wooden parts with decorative carvings in the furniture. For living rooms in this vein, it is better to choose a massive sofa with wide armrests and furniture studs.

In the living room in the neoclassical style, an elegant small sofa or a couch with an intricate ornament will look harmonious. Upholstered furniture in such interiors is most often placed in the center of the room. Interesting models made in the style of Louis XVI are ideal.

For a loft-style room, a massive sofa with leather upholstery is ideal. It is not recommended to choose graceful models with wavy lines. In such a living room, rough models of neutral or classic colors will look better.

High-tech style is similar to minimalism. In this vein, upholstered furniture for rooms should be selected in a strict design with clear geometric shapes. It is recommended to buy sofas that have chrome details.

It is necessary to select the perfect upholstered furniture based on the basic style of the living room. If this room in your home is spacious, then a beautiful and comfortable corner sofa would be the best option.

Models with bar counters, shelves and other additions will look gorgeous. Such products are ideal solutions for relaxation and meeting guests.

For a small living room, a popular sofa without armrests or a standard model of small dimensions is suitable. Be careful with dark colored specimens.

Today, original super-sofas of a semicircular or oval shape are wildly popular. These pieces look great in a large living room. Between them, you can put a ottoman in color or a round glass table.

Before buying a sofa, you need to decide where you are going to place it. Most often, upholstered furniture is installed:

• in the middle of Hall;
• in the bay window by the window;
• along one of the walls;
• under the stairs (if there is one in the house or apartment).

Many people ask themselves the question: how to arrange two or three sofas in the living room correctly?

The most common is the angular arrangement of two sofas: one is placed along the wall, and the second is opposite it in a lateral position.

Slightly less often, upholstered furniture is placed back to back.So, you can subtly divide two zones in the living room. For example, put a chess table in front of one sofa, and a TV in front of the second.

If the area allows, then you can arrange furniture opposite each other. An ottoman, table or square / rectangular rug will find its place between the sofas.

Three sofas are most often arranged with the letter P. With the help of this technique, you can expensively and beautifully arrange a spacious living room.

To decorate the wall behind the sofa, you can choose a suitable plaster, as well as ordinary or photo wallpaper. Often, shelves for books, cabinets, high shelves and bookcases are located behind upholstered furniture. The latter can also be placed around the furniture.

The bar counter looks spectacular behind the sofa. As a rule, owners of studio apartments resort to this arrangement. In such dwellings, elegant zoning with an arch under the sofa is often found.
