Sofas have become such a part of our lives that today it is difficult to imagine a living room without this interior element. On modern models you can not only sit comfortably while watching your favorite movie, but also sleep, play with children and just be proud stylish solution for your home. Beautiful sofas various designs They will help transform the appearance of your home and use its space wisely.
Types
The variety of sofas today is amazing and to some extent disorienting to a potential buyer. It’s one thing to choose a model from five options, and another thing to choose from a thousand. However, here it is important to calm down and not run after the first color you like, because the main objective The right sofa is the comfort of its owner. The comfort of the model depends on one of the key factors – the folding mechanism.
It is worth noting that not every sofa transforms into a sleeping place and has folding properties. For example, monolithic sofas find their purpose in offices, because a sleeping place for a work space is irrelevant, and therefore there is no need to overpay for it.
However, if upholstered furniture is selected for daily use at home, it is important to make a choice the following layout mechanisms:
- "book";
- "Eurobook";
- “click-clack”;
- "tick-tock";
- "accordion";
- "roll-out";
- "cot";
- "dolphin";
- "conrad".
“Book”, “eurobook” and “click-click”– mechanisms related to each other. Their feature is to lift the seat and pull it towards you. The back and seat are thus reunited and create a large sleeping area. More modern models are equipped with a click-clack mechanism. Unlike its predecessors, it has several positions, for example, reclining, and also allows you to create imitation armrests.
The “accordion” sofa is also part of the classic and familiar mechanisms, which are also quite reliable. The assembled backrest consists of 2/3 of the berth, which, when pulled out, is reunited with the third part and forms a comfortable berth.
The draw-out mechanism represents ingenious simplicity. When the seat is pulled forward, all parts of the steel seat are pulled behind it, after which one part is placed on wooden frame. The French and American folding bed earned its name for a reason. The familiar folding bed slides out of the seat and rests on strong iron legs. The disadvantage here can be considered the lower density of the sleeping space.
In addition to comfort and convenience, preference is given to certain mechanisms because of their thrifty attitude towards floor coverings. So, if you don’t want to constantly straighten a slipped carpet or scratch linoleum or laminate flooring, you should pay attention to the mechanism "tick-tock." Its seat does not extend, but rises, which eliminates any movement of parts of the sofa on the floor. The back of the model is placed in the freed-up space and becomes a spacious sleeping area.
The beautiful name of the sofa “dolphin” was also not invented just like that. When assembling the sofa, part of the sleeping area goes under the bottom of the seat, reminiscent of the dive of this graceful inhabitant of the seas. The Conrad sofa is one of the most beautiful and comfortable sleeping mechanisms. The parts of his berth that roll forward have a spring block in their arsenal, which provides orthopedic support for the body during sleep.
And if everything is clear with the mechanisms, then it’s time to turn to another important point of a beautiful sofa - the choice of upholstery. Sofas can be divided according to this criterion into two groups:
- leather models;
- fabric.
The first option involves the use of natural and eco-leather. Their price segment is enormously different, as is their durability. Natural models will serve for many years without cracking and delighting with softness. Fabrics for upholstery of upholstered furniture in some cases have complex names, but knowing them will help you purchase a high-quality model. So, most affordable option is natural cotton that can last for about 5 years without any treatment.
If the model in your dreams should have velvety and comfort, the best solution will become upholstery with flock, jacquard and chenille. If the sofa involves a complex, well-drawn print, it is best to use tapestry. Its weaving is made with a mixture of cotton, wool and synthetic threads. Arpatek is considered a luxurious innovation. This material resembles the texture of thin, delicate leather, while consisting of fabric. The wear resistance of such models is incredibly high.
And in addition to fabrics and mechanisms, beautiful models have different shapes. For example, a corner sofa is perfect for placing a sofa in one of the corners of the room. If the sofa is located in the center, choose a classic model with armrests.
The most fashionable colors and materials
This year, designers tried to create not just beautiful sofas, but elements of comfort and warmth at home. For example, important feature the lines became smoother. Colors this season also have a warm glow in shades of wood, sand and beige. Stylish models today include several colors and textures. Thus, one of the most popular remains natural wood with its characteristic pattern. In this case, almost any fabric is suitable, for example, vintage-style tapestry.
In addition to fabrics, designers consider leather very relevant. And if for some people a leather sofa is associated with an office environment, experts offer combined models.

Before going to the store in search of the most beautiful model, it is important to decide on the purpose of its purchase. Sofas in the hallway, living room or children's room have completely different priorities in choice, as well as purely individual sizes. You should start here with the living room. This room is considered the soul of an apartment or house, and the soul should be beautiful in everything. Both monolithic and folding sofas are suitable for the living room, if the living room also serves as a place for residents to sleep. So, before buying, it is important to measure the room and determine for yourself the desired size of the sofa, which will not constrain the household and interfere with free movement around the room. Today, almost every manufacturer offers to make furniture according to individual sizes, which is an undeniable advantage of our time.
It is important to measure the model you like not only in assembled form, but also in disassembled form. For a cramped living room good choice compact and small sofas will become. A room not limited by strict boundaries will organically accept unusual models various forms. And if all the parameters agree, you can begin the inspection. High-quality models never creak, and the mechanisms operate smoothly and effortlessly. It’s good if everyone in the household can easily assemble and unfold the sofa. Convenient parts for everyone will prevent damage from incorrect and sloppy layout. When unfolded, the entire structure should be as stable as possible.
And soft comfort creators can be conveniently located in the hallway, because sometimes after a hard day at work you really want to sit down on something comfortable without taking off your shoes. A small sofa will fulfill this task perfectly and, contrary to stereotypes, will not take up much space.
Modern models for the hallway are made:
- in the form of soft banquettes without backrest carved legs;
- small sofas with a back without armrests;
- sofas with backrest with forged metal and wooden armrests;
- in the form of a sofa with a folding bed;
- in the form of a corner sofa;
- narrow sofa with practical storage compartments under the seat.
When choosing, you should focus on the shape and size of the hallway. Narrow and small rectangular hallway can only accommodate a banquette. It is not recommended to load it with cabinets and other parts. Simple models in this case they look more harmonious and lighter. Makes a square hallway more comfortable corner model sofas and even a model with armrests. If this part of the apartment or house pleases with space, then a full-fledged sofa will turn the hallway into another place to relax.
But for the children's room important criterion, first of all, is safety. It manifests itself in everything. Ecologically clean materials, such as wood, rounded edges and a minimum of synthetics in fabrics will be the key to a successful purchase.
How to care?
When a sofa has been purchased and is pleasing to the eye, you should not relax, because maintenance is another key moment long-term use of furniture. So, fabric upholstery is cleaned with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner every three days. This action removes daily dust, preventing it deep penetration into fibers.
If visible contamination does appear, you should turn to specialized upholstery cleaning products, remembering the general rules for all types of fabric:
- all pollution removed in the direction of the pile;
- with spilled liquid it is absorbed with a soft cloth without rubbing the wet spot;
- the stain is processed from edge to middle.
Treating leather and maintaining its presentable appearance is not an easy task. First of all, a leather sofa should not be closer than a meter to the radiators. This will prevent the leather from cracking. It is also not recommended to place the beloved colored rugs and capes on a leather model, thereby preventing staining of the leather. Once every few days, such furniture is wiped with a dry soft cloth.
It is worth noting the need wet cleaning using microfiber once a month. Visible dirt can be removed with a soap solution. After the procedure, the surface is wiped dry. If stains are difficult to remove, the most reasonable solution would be to use special skin products.

Thus, this year the emphasis is on practical and comfortable furnishings, characterized by elegance and simplicity. However, the most important thing is the endless flight of ideas, the combination of different styles. Simply put, no standards or rules.
Materials
As for materials, the main place is occupied by natural wood. According to many, it is difficult to overestimate its importance, since wooden furniture is always in trend.
Eco-design has been in demand for many years and it is unlikely that such a trend will undergo global changes. After all, many people are aware of the importance of closeness to the environment.
This year, untreated solid wood products are in fashion, as there is an opinion that the natural texture of wood looks very exclusive and attractive.
Undoubtedly, the wood must be processed, for which it is advisable to use colorless substances.
By the way, in an interior space with a predominance of natural masses there should not be a lot of flashy shades in order to avoid oversaturation.
Leather furniture is not inferior in demand to wooden furniture. After all, it is beautiful, practical and expensive.
New 2017 - fish skin. Nowadays it is actively used as upholstery for furniture. This durable material with a colorful structure, does not wrinkle, is painted in catchy shades that shimmer in the light.

For example, if the furniture is purple tones, then floor, wall, and also ceiling surface It is better to decorate it in neutral shades, and the curtains and decor in purple, but a couple of tones lighter, or neutral.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to stay in a room decorated exclusively in purple.
Similar nuances apply to other catchy tones, the oversaturation of the interior space with which will cause fatigue of the human brain.
Snow white is also the dominant shade of 2017. It reflects the elegance as well as simplicity that characterizes this year.
Undoubtedly, such a shade is not quite a suitable solution for decorating sofas and chairs, but not for the 21st century. Today, a huge number of ways have been invented to help preserve snow-white surfaces in perfect cleanliness for a long period of time.
