| How do you find the
perfect sofa to complement your room? Here are some
general interior design tips to help you make your mind up. |
-
Light coloured walls mean that you can use bolder
colours for furniture to make an individual statement.
-
Vibrant colours on walls can overpower furniture
and make a room feel smaller better to use lighter tones
and perhaps one or 2 walls in a strong colour to provide a backdrop
for a special piece of furniture.
-
Look at paint charts or magazines for inspiration
they can be a good guide to choosing a colour scheme
for the whole room, not just the walls. They will often bring
together a harmonious group of colours which you can use to
plan your furniture and other room accessories.
|
-
The material you choose for your furniture also makes a design
statement. For a touch of luxury use plush velvets and chenilles.
For a more utilitarian and functional feel, try cottons and
other natural fibres for your fabric sofa..
-
Cushions can add softness and are an easy way to introduce
another colour to the palette. Patterned cushions are popular
and can brighten up a room.
-
A leather sofa can either give a very traditional or very contemporary
feel depending on the design of the sofa. Generally brown or
lighter colour leather will go with most décor, but black
leather tends to fit with ultra modern, minimalist interiors.

-
Choose a high-backed sofa good for extra back support.
-
Two 2-seater sofas may suit a smaller room better than one
3-seater and armchair and offer more flexibility.
-
Good quality leather generally ages well and looks even better
as it gets older.
-
Light colour sofas can help a room feel bigger when twinned
with light walls and carpet.

Sofas can often look bigger in your home than in the showroom
so measure your living space carefully.

| The great advantage of washable
removable covers is that you can keep your sofa looking as great
as when you bought it, with the minimum of effort and expense.
-
Many of Tetrad's ranges have removable and machine washable/dry-cleanable
covers which are ideal for families with young children and/or
pets. Most of the cotton Jacquard covers are washable at 60ºC
and the Chenille covers are dry-cleanable.
-
Another advantage of the removable sofa cover is that you can
have a spare set, perhaps in a different colour or material
that you can use for special occasions or just to change the
look of the room when you feel like a change. Two sofas for
the price of one!

sofa but it won't fit through the front door!"
-
Tips on how to avoid problems when your new sofa arrives.
Measure your room carefully.
It is a good idea to measure your old sofa as this will give
you a good idea of scale.
-
Measure your doorways to make sure the sofa will fit
through.
If you have a wooden floor, it is a good idea to put down an
old sheet or piece of carpet at the entrance of the room to
avoid any scratches as you bring it through the door and move
it into position.
