When you buy a new home in a community along 30A (or anywhere else, for that matter), you’ll probably have your eye on some new furniture. If a sofa is one of those furniture items, here’s what you need to ask yourself before you swipe that card.
Buying a Sofa for Your New Home on 30A? Not Until You Read This!
First things first: you’ll want to decide on size before you go sofa shopping. You need to measure your space and ensure you’re getting a sofa that will fit.
Then, ask yourself:
- Who will spend the most time on the sofa?
- What style matches your home?
- What kind of fabric do you need?
Here’s a closer look at each.
#1. Who will spend the most time on the sofa?
Think about your family members’ heights – and their ages. A low-to-the-ground sofa might not be the best choice for elderly people or those with limited mobility – but a high-backed, tall sofa might not be right for kids who need to climb on and off during their down time.
#2. What style matches your home?
Your sofa should complement your home’s style. Think about:
- Traditional. These sofas feature English roll-arms.
- Midcentury. These sofas are often Knoll-style.
- Tailored. Sofas with track arms and tufted seat cushions are stylish but comfy.
- Casual. Big and covered with a slipcover, these sofas are pretty well-rounded.
#3. What kind of fabric do you need?
Kids and pets will determine what type of fabric you need. You wouldn’t get a silk sofa, for example, if you have little ones running around (or even if you frequently entertain them). You’ll want a performance fabric – something that can stand up to frequent (and sometimes messy) use.
