1 Seater Sofa

Bedroom

There's something elegant and timeless about having an area in the bedroom that is dedicated to seating. A space to enjoy a relaxed morning coffee or somewhere to catch up on some reading is the space that promises us that serenity we're all after.

Single seater sofas fit the mould of this room perfectly as it is small enough to not be obtrusive, yet serves their purpose with an added sophisticated feel. Set it up to overlook the view from your window or in an open corner along with a small coffee table and perhaps a beautiful throw or cushion to make the place an additional oasis within your personal space.

Assuming you have the space in your room to do so, the placement of your sofa can easily magnify the beauty of your bedroom furniture.

Study or Office

Gone are the days of bland, one-size-fits-all study and office rooms. Each room in your house should speak to your individual style and your study is no different. A work desk and office chair are essential, but armchairs that scream 'business' are a nice extra stylistic touch that adds to the décor and creates a relaxing and warm feel.

Colours and design are your friends and you may want to choose a more standard design or upholstery choice for your home office furniture. You could always add in a beautiful cushion for some personality. Colourful scatter cushions can add to and enhance a relaxing atmosphere.

Choosing the Perfect Sofa Design

Whether it's additional seating space for guests or that missing piece of lounge furniture that you're after, 1 seater sofas are a great addition to your modern living room.

In houses around the world, sofas have always, and will always, be the centrepiece to any living space. Choosing a design that complements the flow of your house and adds that comfortable feeling that makes you want to relax and unwind is an important decision and requires some thought.

There are some important things to note when deciding what style your new sofa is going to be - such as always choosing quality and durability over trending designs as these can be fleeting.

These are the 5 most important things you need to consider before buying a new 1 seater sofa:

• Size
• Shape
• Material
• Colour
• Quality

Size

Not all single-seater sofas are the same size. Most range between 80cm and one meter in width, but the depth of the seat can vary quite a bit. A bigger frame allows for a more relaxed feel as opposed to chairs you may have to squeeze into to get comfortable.

Are you looking for a deeper seat and a high backrest area? Or do you prefer something that sits a bit higher and would be easier to get in and out of? As for the armrest, are you looking for armrests that are the same height as the rest of your chair, or perhaps something lower for a more relaxed fit?

Many sofas have legs too so make sure to take the size of these into account when deciding on your ideal armchair size.

Shape

Single-seater sofas are often square-shaped, so they can be placed in a number of spots within your living area. The lines of your sofa should enhance the overall look of your space and should complement the rest of your furniture and interior design style.

These days, sofas and chairs come in all shapes and sizes, all inviting you to sit down and enjoy its unique design.

Whereas 1 seater sofas mostly all hold a similar shape, take note of the minor details of the shape of the chair when choosing one. If the rest of the pieces in your sitting area have rounded and soft edges, do you want your sofa to have the same look or would you prefer something with a sharper, more streamlined effect?

Keeping things like the shape in mind when choosing a sofa will add to the aesthetics of your living room.

Material

What material is ideal for your sofa? There is a range of options available when choosing the best material for your personal sense of décor. Options for upholstered fabric include faux leather, linen, velvet, wool and more.

What you choose depends on the amount of durability that you are after. Material such as thick cotton might work well with children and pets in the house, whereas a luxury upholstered sofa may work better within an adult-only house.

At Home Detail, our preferred 1 seater sofas are made with plush velvet fabric. With a luxurious and elegant feel, velvet sofas add a soft, yet bold feminine look to any room. Cleaning is also easily done with the correct know-how. Fortunately, professional cleaners are easy to find in the UK.

Style

Every home has its own style and this can vary from room to room too. Finding a sofa that you like that fits the tone and feel of a room does not have to be a daunting task. A plain armchair that is tastefully styled with the right cushions can make a world of difference and create a relaxed or edgy look, depending on what look you're after.

What about some accessories to show your personality? Cushions always add in nice detail. Adding in patterns and materials through accessories such as throws and cushions show individual styles and come in a vast range of styles to choose from.

Also, make sure to carefully have a look at the style of the armrest and legs of your sofa. Do they match or complement the rest of your furniture?

Colour

Knowing exactly which colours would suit your interior style can be a little more complicated than it seems. Whereas your favourite colour may be coral or turquoise, it might not always be the most practical idea to get a sofa in that shade, unless that is something you have carefully considered and decided to do.

Most people opt for neutral colours when choosing a centrepiece sofa. The benefits of doing so allow you to accessorise with bolder prints and patterns. It also gives you more space to create a living area that is suited to the majority, like in a rental house, for example.

Bold and rich colour choices are also a great idea when making your sofa the focal point of your living area. The rest of the colour palette can then be made to follow the lead of this one piece of furniture that is meant to stand out from the rest.

One great benefit of 1 seater sofas is that as it isn't your main sofa, you can be as bold as you want to be.

Quality

The quality of the frame is all about a solid construction that can hold a good weight. The ideal sofa has a hard frame that is covered in quality plush material with extra padding to add that comfortable look and feel.

When looking for a sofa or armchair, make sure to look for a quality frame that is able to stand the knocks that come with daily life. As for the material used, be sure to opt for something that would suit the wear of everyday usage and can be easily cleaned.

All of our 1 seater sofas are made to UK standard quality and you can rest assured that all materials used are of the best in the upholstery market.

Measurements

A single-seater sofa chair will take up all of your free space in a room, but still, it is important to get the measurements right when buying one. As previously mentioned, most are within the one-metre width range, and up to around 80cm tall. Make sure to check these measurements ahead of time so that you can carefully curate the perfect spot in your house.

Consider if there is enough space for your chair, or if there is more than adequate space, perhaps a bigger seater sofa would be better suited? Make sure to pick up that measuring tape before clicking on the 'order' button.
