How to Search for the Perfect Sofa

The sofa choices available at our Lake of the Ozarks furniture store come in a wide variety of styles, shapes, sizes, and colors.  Trying to narrow down all of the beautiful choices may seem overwhelming, but this blog will help you with that process.  

There are a few questions that you must consider before choosing a new sofa.  The necessary ones are the size of the space available for it and the way that it will be most used.  Once you determine those, you can move on to deciding on your favorite styles from our Slumberland Furniture collections.





How much room is available for your sofa?


First and foremost, you want to choose a sofa that you actually have enough room for.  Also, you don't want to pick one that will completely overpower the entire room.  Take a few measurements before heading in to our Lake of the Ozarks furniture store.  Look at the space that you are adding the new sofa to.  If this will be the main seating in the room, you will most likely want something a bit larger.  If you would like to add other chairs or a loveseat, you will need to look for a sofa that fits along with those other pieces.    





How much use will it get?


The type of fabric that you choose for your sofa will depend on the type of use that it will get.  If it is mainly a decorative piece, you can brave the lighter shades and daintier materials.  A sofa that will serve as the main seating for a family room will last longer with a polyester or leather covering.  These materials are also best for homes with young children and pets.  If you need extra room for occasional overnight guests, then you will want to shop for a futon or sleeper sofa.         



What style fits best with your decor?



Once you figure out the size of the sofa that will fit into the room and the type of use that you expect it to get, you can move on to the fun stuff!  It's time to think about what kind of look that you want this piece of furniture to give to the room it is in.  If you want your sofa to serve as a focal piece for the room, look for your favorite bold colors or a fun pattern.  For people that like to change decor often, a neutral shade will work the best, and you can change out colorful throw pillows when you feel the need for something new.  Consider the shape, too.  Sectionals offer the chance to change up the seating arrangements occasionally.  Some sofas feature a sleek, traditional look, while others look like big fluffy pillow tops, inviting you in for a cuddle.      
  


SOFA SHOPPING TIPS



You can begin your sofa shopping experience online, browsing through the choices that we have available to you.  When you visit our furniture store in Osage Beach, you will want to take a seat and test them out.  Sit down and lean back, making sure that it has a comfortable feel.  Try out the springs too.  A good-quality sofa will be made with sinuous or serpentine springs constructed of heavy metal.  They should not squeak when you gently bounce up and down.  


Now you are ready to take a look at our Slumberland Furniture selections online. Find a few favorites, check out or sales ad, then make your way to our local furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Our knowledgeable sales staff will be happy to help you find what you are looking for and answer any questions that you may have.  Hopefully by the end of your visit we will be arranging the delivery of your brand new sofa.      




It's a good life!
