Here’s the guide you can go to while shopping for the best sofa:

1)      The style that accent your décor: Sofa comes in different styles to suit the variety of décor. A sofa with wooden hands and legs exposed would go with the Traditional décor best whereas for a modern or contemporary space fully upholstered sofa would go well. While for a minimal décor a wooden sofa or a sectional sofa with comfortable seat cushions and back cushions would look best.

2)      How much floor space can you dedicate?: - You can browse through truckload amount of variety in the sizes of a sofa. You can go for a modern bench if you have a tight space to divide for a sofa or you can even get the idea of the dimensions by making a sofa out of empty boxes.

3)     Analyze the seating space requirement - Determine the seating space by the number of inhabitants that are going to use contemporary furniture and on the visits of the visitors. If you are someone who has been often visited by your family or friends, you might go for a Sofa-cum-bed. If you are going to use your sofa as your daybed then you must choose your sofa so.

4)      Comfort factors - The type of back, depth of the sofa and fabric of the sofa determines a large part of the perfect modern sofa. You should go for well-cushioned back if you need to use your sofa for most time in a day while light cushioned back work well for someone who hardly needs a sofa.

Make particular observations with the depth of the other furniture at your home and the comfort that it gives you. You can go for similar dimensions to this new one.

Choose a fabric that you are most comfortable with. The available ones are Rayon, Velvet, PU, leather, etc. Go for the colors that go with your decor and not the ones that may look appealing but are abrupt when placed into space.

5)      Price - Investing in furniture is a big deal. So, just don’t go for the ones that come cheap because the possibility is they might have used ply and not solid wood which will affect product's durability. Go for solid wood furniture like teak wood, rosewood, etc.
