2025-10-24

Fabric sofas are brightly colored, diverse in style, fashionable and beautiful, and inexpensive, making them popular among people. So how do you choose a good fabric sofa? We can start with the specifications and colors of the fabric sofa. Let's give you a detailed introduction below.

Master sofa specifications

When looking at the size of a fabric sofa, you should first consider whether it meets the requirements of ergonomics. On the other hand, you should also consider the size of the room. The size of the sofa should be determined according to the size of the room and the arrangement of the furniture. This can be determined from the following aspects:

(1) Sofa seat height: The height should be equal to the height of the calf plus the heel of the shoe, but it can be slightly lower, about 35 to 42 cm. If it is too high, the feet will be suspended in the air, and the body weight will be concentrated on the feet, which will cause the latissimus dorsi muscles to be overly stressed; if it is too low, the bearing surface of the big feet will be reduced, which will also cause muscle pain.

(2) Sofa width: The width of the front side of a two-person sofa should be more than 48cm, while a single-person sofa should be less than this width. A three-person sofa should be between 140-145cm, and the seat depth should be between 48 and 55cm. Living room fabric sofas are also divided into multi-seater and single-seater. If you choose a multi-seater fabric sofa, you should pay attention to its width. If the width is too small, it will appear crowded when so many people sit down; if it is a single-person fabric sofa, then just choose an appropriate width.

(3) Sofa height: When purchasing a fabric sofa, the height of the backrest should be between the shoulders and ears when sitting. Generally, the top of the backrest is about 68-72CM from the ground.

Look at the sofa color

When choosing a fabric sofa, color is also very important. Generally speaking, the color of the sofa should be different from the color of the living room design, and the color of other furniture in the living room should be consistent. The specific steps are as follows:

(1) If the living room is designed in dark brown, then when choosing a sofa, you need to choose a brighter color, such as white, orange, light blue and light green, to get rid of the overall dull feeling of the living room. For example, the color of a small-sized fabric sofa should be coordinated with the environment of the entire living room to give people a pleasant feeling.

(2) If the wood floor and wall colors are light-colored, then when buying a sofa, you should choose a darker color, such as dark gray, gray-black, and black walnut.

(3) If other furniture in the living room is made of metal and glass, then when purchasing sofas, guardrails and supports, it is best to choose metal materials as well, and the color can be light or dark.
