Why do you need a fabric sofa in your home?
October 08,2021
It is easy to leave regrets during decoration, especially when buying furniture. When you decorate your house, you will find that leather sofas and fabric sofas are the mainstays on the market. To be honest, both have their advantages and disadvantages. If you don't know how to choose, this blog may give you some inspiration. We will introduce from the family needs and the style of the living room.
Choose the material of sofa according to the apartment type
✅Large apartment, larger than 90 square meters
For a room of 100 square meters, a single sofa is obviously not matched in a living room, and it is a bit like a sofa exhibition hall if it is placed too much. Therefore, in the choice of style, you should choose sofas with a larger size and a classic design. In this way, it can be easily integrated into this upscale house.
✅Medium-sized apartment, 60-90 square meters
This type of apartment usually has a wider living room area, and you can choose a medium-sized two-person sofa or three-person sofa. Modular sofas are also a better choice, which can be combined flexibly according to the shape of the living room.
✅Small apartment, less than 60 square meters
For less than 60 square meters apartment, the living room is very small or almost none. The choice of sofa should be small and exquisite, and it is better to use a small single-person fabric sofa to make the remaining space in the room larger. Or choose a smaller split sofa, which can be combined freely, but it is best not to exceed three, otherwise the room looks crowded.
Fabric sofa V.S. leather sofa
🔹Appearance
First of all, fabric sofas have a variety of colors, patterns, and materials. This is something that a leather sofa can never do. You can present a colorful and lively tone through the color of the fabric, or you can use the pattern of the fabric to create a pastoral taste, or you can use pure plain colors to create a Nordic minimalist design... In a word, they are suitable for those who prefer beauty.
For leather sofas, due to the inherent constraints of animal leather, its dyeing effect is often relatively simple. Leather sofas often have black, white, brown, red, beige, etc... These colors all create a high-end, luxurious atmosphere.
🔹Air permeability
For fabric sofas, different materials determine its breathability. Generally, there are materials such as cotton cloth, linen cloth, flannel and cotton mixed nylon cloth. Flannel sofas are warmer; linen and cotton sofas are more refreshing and breathable.
Therefore, flannel materials are suitable for cold weather; linen and cotton sofas are more suitable for summer use.
For leather sofas, the air permeability of the first layer cow leather is the best; the inferior leather is second; and the air permeability of synthetic leather is even worse.
🔹Maintenance
Many young people love fabric sofas, but they do not know that fabric sofas have a fatal bug --- that is, it is difficult to maintain. If the juice drops accidentally, it will be a huge tragedy!
And if you are a lazy person, then obviously a leather sofa is more suitable for you. The current leather sofa has achieved a certain degree of waterproof function. Basically, a damp cloth will be wiped down and the surface will be restored to new!
🔹Price
Leather sofas are expensive; in contrast, fabric sofas are much cheaper. Therefore, fabric sofas are more in line with economic and applicable standards.
🔹Service life
Although the price of a leather sofa is so high, there is no doubt that it has a "long service life". Generally speaking, a leather sofa can last for 5-10 years. If properly maintained, the service life can be extended by n times, n×10 times!
The lifespan of fabric sofa is relatively short. Generally, it will become dirty in 1-2 years, and it will be directly promoted to the "antique" level in 3-5 years (but fortunately it is cheap).
Final thoughts
In fact, every homeowner will have all kinds of doubts or troubles when decorating. For example, in summer, thinking about the leather sofa to cool off, how about it? Leather sofas are not as breathable as fabric sofas, when you sitting on the leather sofa, you will get more sweat.
Inevitably, renovation is a process that costs lots of money to buy experience. For the first time, there will always be a lot of undesirable things. We can sum up our experience and avoid the same thing happening again next time, so that the cost of decoration can be saved. Now that you have finished reading this blog, you should have some ideas! let's get started! 💪
