How to choose a fabric sofa that you like

2025-11-04

Fabric sofas are stylish, affordable, and come in a variety of styles, making them very popular. But how do you choose a fabric sofa that you'll truly love? Delo Leather Sofas would like to share some tips on selecting a fabric sofa.

1. Based on the natural environment of the residence

The sofa is an important piece of furniture in the living room, and it's essential that it harmonizes with the overall home environment. This means matching the room's decor, wall colors, windows, and other areas to create a cohesive and natural living room. Otherwise, the room will appear disorganized and lacking in style. Generally, in a clean, well-lit living room, brightly colored fabric sofas like white floral, bright red, bright green, or plaid are suitable and can create a comfortable atmosphere. However, if the living room walls have colorful or patterned artwork or decorations, then a brightly colored sofa is less appropriate. Opting for a solid color will look more elegant and prevent the room from appearing cluttered. Therefore, choosing a living room fabric sofa that matches the interior design style is crucial for creating a comfortable environment.

2. Based on the interior decoration style

Every home has a different interior design style, whether it's Japanese, modern minimalist, or European classic. The choice of sofa should naturally be based on the design style of the furniture in the home. Modern American and European classic country style fabric sofas often use small floral or plaid fabrics to create a natural and warm atmosphere; British style is simple and grand, often using very unique or very cool solid-color fabrics, with a distinctive personality. Different interior design styles naturally require different fabric sofas. For example, fabric sofas for small apartments or single fabric sofas can be chosen according to the interior design style.

3. Based on the sofa frame

The sturdiness of the sofa frame affects its lifespan and quality assurance. When choosing a fabric sofa, extend one end of the frame outwards. When the extended part is 10cm off the ground, check if the other end of the leg is also off the ground. Only if the other end is off the ground can the sofa pass quality inspection.

4. Based on the feel of the sofa

The tactile feel, or how it feels to the touch during use, is crucial for sofas. Different sofa fabrics feel different to the touch and when you sit on them. Some fabrics can even irritate the skin, or some people are sensitive to certain fabrics and find them uncomfortable. When buying a sofa, you can touch the surface fabric and sit on it to test the feel before choosing a comfortable fabric sofa. If a fabric sofa manufacturer uses high-quality fabrics, the resulting sofas will naturally have a good feel. Trying to feel the fabric sofa is also a way to evaluate its quality.

5. Based on the sofa filling material

The most important aspect of sofa filling is its elasticity. During testing, a person should be allowed to sit on the sofa in a free-fall motion. The sofa cushions should bounce the person at least twice to ensure excellent elasticity and a longer lifespan. Additionally, the quality of the sofa springs and other filling materials should be examined. Good sofa springs are generally treated with rust prevention.
