Homewood Advice: Buying a Couch

Buying furniture can be quite stressful. Especially when investing in a piece that not only take us space in the privacy of your home, but also just the effort it takes to decide on that one couch that you’re hoping to have for years to come. Make sure you have no regrets when investing in pieces that fill up your space because it’s these additions that make your home, home.

In this article we’ll be sharing 5 key tips to consider when choosing the right couch for you. If you do go ahead and purchase a couch with Homewood, our designers are here to guide you through the process. They know what is best when it comes to furniture that fits your needs, taste and lifestyle.

 

1. Invest in comfort – not just aesthetics:

We all love a good-looking couch,

but you’ll regret buying something that

you can’t stand to sit in for more than 5 minutes!

Choose a piece that not only exudes comfort,

but that actually is comfortable.

 

 

2. Get to know the bones:

Investing in a quality frame will see you

through many years of, well, lounging. Ask the

sales person thorough questions about the frame

(solid is best) and the guarantee. You can never

know too much.

 

 

 

3. What’s inside?

Choose the right inner for your cushions.

You don’t want flat cushions in a years’ time.

Ask about the different options for cushion

inners.

 

 

 

 

4. Choose your fabric carefully.

Beautiful fabrics can be fun and add impact to a

room. But always consider whether this style will

stand the test of time. Don’t forget to think about

where your couch will be sitting – you’ll need a

more durable, fade resistant fabric if kids, animals or direct sunlight are involved.

 

 

5. Measure, then measure again.

And again. Don’t forget to consider doors

and stairways that your couch will need to

pass through. There’s a reason the saying

prevention is better than cure came around.

No amount of prep goes to waste.
