Furniture for the living room

Mary Lena Upholstered furniture - a required element of any room. The traditional set - sofa, two chairs and ottoman - creates the necessary recreation area and can serve as a comfortable sleeping place for guests. Choose high quality furniture is not so simple. Therefore, fan, furniture catalogs, listening to the invaluable advice of designers and friends, we go to the salon hoping to find the most upholstered furniture that we dream about. What is the purpose? Before you go shopping, you need to determine the destination of the living room and see what furniture you need. Some people mistakenly believe that all the sofas and chairs are the same or what's in store, in the presence of sales assistants to understand easier. Perhaps an experienced seller and can help you find the right thing, but most of those engaged in trade does not bother telling the pros and cons of a particular type of furniture. Being the person concerned, he tries to persuade you to purchase those products that sells itself, and his view is unlikely to be objective. So you should first discuss with the family preferences and vision of the purpose of each room - the "heart" at home. For example, someone wants to comfortably relax on the couch watching television. Another considers it necessary to put in a room a few chairs. The third would prefer to create an extra bed for guests. Moreover, if these three positions are compatible, then there are times when compromise is really easy. For example, easy to pick up furniture, if the spouses have different ideas about the comfort of your sofa. Some people prefer soft, buried seat, while others - more stringent in a position more to the business conversations, rather than to a complete relaxation after a busy Boden. A similar problem can be solved, say, purchase a sofa from the same collection of furniture and chairs - from the other. In general, from an exchange of views no one gets hurt. Would be worse if you have to figure out who in the family of the chief, in humans. Sofa for himself, living room sofa for guests, designed to relax, watch TV, must be equipped with soft, comfortable and practical furniture. The size of the sofa, and the number of seats determined by the number of family members. Agree, the tightness does not have a proper rest. Even worse, if someone would have to huddle together on the rug instead of sit on a comfortable couch in an embrace with the household. At the same time, if the family consists of two people, plenty of seats would only gloom and discomfort. In other words, a cozy family nest, like nature, abhors a vacuum. In any case, superfluous. Sofa, standing in the middle of the room, divides the space into functional zones. Frequent reception also dictate certain requirements for the selection of upholstered furniture. Significance is even what kind of guests come to you. If the job you are overwhelmed with the head and even at home does not take a break from business meetings, buy a sofa harder. Business partners may overstay, if they feel too comfortable as at home. For interviews face-to-face is better to choose a small sofa and chair from the same collection, placing it on the other side of a small coffee table. And you and your guest will be convenient to talk, sitting opposite each other, although psychologists and say that the situation was not very well reflected in the conversation and relationships. However, we do not know. For three people and enough of a sofa and armchairs. But for a larger number of interlocutors need other furniture. Simply increasing the number of seats though and will help in this case, but have a negative impact on the interior of the room in general. Therefore, the yield is seen in the purchase of T-shaped and U-shaped models of sofas. If you are the lucky ones, leaving business issues beyond the threshold of the house, consider buying furniture "superior" to the seats. If you do not visit business partners and best friends, you'll come in handy sofa - the best place for socializing. In addition, this form will allow you and your guests to stay around a coffee or a serving table and a beer watch this epic or a football match, and then indulge in the discussion of its neighbors and problems. The location of the sofa - the mood of great importance when selecting upholstered furniture is the size of your living room. In a small room that serves both owners and office, dining room, and even the bedroom, hardly fits a large corner sofa or a whole set of furniture with couches and pouf. In the spacious hall, on the contrary, a small sofa simply "lost", but because of how attractive it looks, depends largely on the overall impression of the room. The traditional arrangement of a sofa near the wall today is less and less fans. Sofa, standing in the middle of the room, zoned space, separating the living room, say, a recreation room and dining room. To this end, some furniture factories specially produce models that look presentable, not only in the front, but the reverse side. Chair, in contrast to the sofa, you can optionally move, so it's best if they are equipped with wheels. Looks good armchair in the corner. Put the next floor lamp, and you'll get a cozy corner, where you can sit cross-legged with a favorite book. Poof - all-purpose thing: it turns into an extra seat when guests come, but their absence is a footrest, and even improvised table. Expanding fun if guests from distant lands to your normal occurrence, or you just love the night spree, followed by placing participants on a fun night, feel free to buy a sofa bed. It is sad that in most cases, a sofa sleeper is not the guests, and by the owners of the home. But what can you do if the dimensions of the apartments do not allow you to buy a full double bed. This is an unfortunate circumstance forces to think seriously about how comfortable sofa is not a seat, and as furniture for sleeping. Pouf is additional seating, if visitors come, but in their absence is a footrest. If you intend to use the upholstered furniture in the living room only for a short rest, sitting, leaning back, convertible model, you do not need. Incidentally, this is another opportunity to save money, because neraskladnye sofas and armchairs significantly cheaper than similar folding There are many mechanisms of transformation of sofas, among which the most well-known: evroknizhka, accordion, dolphin, roll-out. Evroknizhka - the mechanism of transformation in which the seat is pushed forward and back cushions are omitted in the space formed. Accordion expanded on the principle of the accordion. It is equipped with bars and rollers. Advantages of this design - fast and easy unfolding, lightweight frame. In the unfolded sofa is a full double bed, suitable for everyday use. In the dolphin berth out from under the seat. In nerazlozhennom such as sofas look like a corner. They are easily transformed, but its life depends on your wood, so when buying a particular attention should be paid to the quality of wood material of the frame. And finally, in front of the drawout mechanism extends the sofa is converted into a sleeper. This design - the most reliable of all the above. Meet on clothes Having defined the model of the sofa, to solve one more no less difficult task - to choose upholstery. We shall not now speak of the colors and all sorts of areas of design, as the color gamut is determined purely individual. A much greater role, in our opinion, proper material from which depends the practicality of upholstered furniture. So my advice - when choosing not only comes from the style of interior, but also from the immediate appointment of a sofa. Then he will serve you for a long time. In principle, the guest option can have any furniture upholstery. It is unlikely that your guests will sit on the sofa in the dirty clothes, or drop him a piece of fried chicken. Of course, nobody is safe from spilled wine or pranks pets, but still one should not sacrifice the look of furniture, for fear of similar troubles. In addition, there are now service dry cleaning furniture at home. One exit brigade - and the problem spots resolved. And do not forget the furniture-care products. The room, designed for television viewing, should be furnished with comfortable and practical furniture. Another thing, if your couch is a sleeper. Here too comfort above all. It is known that some people have synthetic materials cause allergies, and therefore sleep better on a sofa upholstered with natural tissue, or at least containing not more than 50% synthetic fibers. Natural fabrics "breathe" less than attract dust. At the same time, the synthetic is more durable. In general, "double-edged sword." If you are allergic are not threatened, and practicality for you is important, feel free to buy a sofa with a synthetic "clothes". In the end, all materials must be certified (by the way, the presence thereof does not hurt to check). One of the most popular upholstery fabrics - shinil in which the best combination of natural and synthetic fibers. It is ideal for upholstery living room suites. Shinil provide your sofa clean and elegant appearance throughout life. Also, do not lose their quality over time, furniture suede. The amazing feature of this fabric lies in the fact that it is pleasant to the touch pile lies precisely in the direction of motion of his hand. A sofa upholstered in this stuff, looks very noble. The best option for furniture in the living room - a fabric with a high content of synthetic fibers: they are very easy to clean and has excellent operating characteristics. This is the flock that provides easy care of furniture. His nap - totally synthetic. This does not preclude its use even in homes where there are allergies and small children: qualitative flock from compulsory treatment hypoallergenic composition, but for their color only apply absolutely friendly dyes. And yet it is not necessary to choose flock for sofa upholstery used as a bed: from heavy duty nap trampled and lose form. In addition, the flock is strongly electrified and attract dust. Pay special attention to mikrofayber (artificial suede). This kind of heavy-duty fabric Flok: he is not afraid of any detergent and dry, not rubbed, no tears, no fade, no fade, does not require special care. Like at all times, a matter of respect furniture upholstered in genuine leather. Modern artificial leather - arpatek - easy to clean, durable tear resistant to mechanical shocks, long preserves the color. Agree to the selection of furniture for the "center" of the living environment should be taken with great care. Do not skimp on size or sofa upholstery: even if the guests are coming to you very often, upholstered furniture create a cozy atmosphere in which you want to dip into again and again.
