Choose fabric sofas by specifications and colors

Fabric sofas are popular due to their vibrant colors, diverse styles, fashionable appearance, and affordable prices. So how do you choose a good fabric sofa? We can start by considering the specifications and colors of the fabric sofa. Let me introduce them to you in detail below.

Master sofa specifications

When choosing the specifications of a fabric sofa, you should first check if it conforms to ergonomic principles. Secondly, you need to consider the dimensions of the room, determining the sofa's size based on the room's dimensions and furniture arrangement. This can be determined from the following aspects:

(1) Sofa seat height-to-width ratio: The height-to-width ratio should be equivalent to the height-to-width ratio of a person's calf plus the heel of the shoe, but it can be slightly lower, about 35 to 42 cm. Too high will cause the feet to dangle in the air, and the body weight will be concentrated on the feet, causing the latissimus dorsi muscles to become overly anxious; too low will reduce the bearing surface of the big feet, which will also cause muscle pain.

(2) Total width of sofa: The total width of the front side of a two-seater sofa should exceed 48 cm, while that of a single sofa should be lower than this. The total width of a three-seater sofa should be between 140-145 cm, and the depth of the seat should be between 48 and 55 cm. Living room fabric sofas are also divided into multi-seater and single-seater types. If you choose a multi-seater fabric sofa, pay attention to its width. If the width is too small, it will feel crowded when so many people sit down. If it is a single-seater fabric sofa, then you only need to choose an appropriate width.

(3) Sofa height-to-width ratio: When purchasing a fabric sofa, the height-to-width ratio of the backrest should be between the shoulder and ear when sitting. Under normal circumstances, the top of the backrest should be about 68-72 cm from the ground.

Look at the sofa color

When choosing a fabric sofa, color is also crucial. Generally, the sofa color should contrast with the overall color scheme of the living room, while the colors of other furniture in the living room should maintain consistency. The specific steps are as follows:

(1) If the living room design color is dark brown, then when purchasing a sofa, you need to choose one with some gloss, such as off-white, orange, light blue, and light green, to get rid of the overall gloomy feeling of the large living room. The color of the fabric sofa in a small apartment should be coordinated with the environment of the entire living room in order to give people a pleasant feeling.

(2) If the wood flooring and walls are light-colored products, then when purchasing a sofa, you should choose a darker color, such as dark gray, gray-black, or black walnut.

(3) If other furniture in the living room is made of metal and glass, then when purchasing sofas, railings and support frames, it is best to also choose metal materials, and the color can be either light or dark.
