A little about fashion trends

The latest trends and fashion trends, as a criterion for choosing a sofa for home, are relevant for large living rooms, in large houses. When it is assumed that it will be used as a bed rarely and mainly for guests. However, in 2020, the market is dominated by three styles.

• Scandinavian with its minimalism in details and cool shades. Its advantage is that it fits perfectly into almost any modern interior. Clean lines, few details - these sofas will look great in the living room, nursery or library.
• Luxurious art decor, assumes large sizes, beautiful velvet upholstery with a crinkled pattern and an abundance of decorative details in the form of rollers and pillows. Low sofas are back in vogue, with soft, hugging seating. Such furniture is perfect for a large living room and will be conducive to a quiet pastime for a pleasant conversation. If you intend to buy a sofa for your daily sleep, it is best to look elsewhere.
• For living rooms, halls, libraries, the Provence style is still popular. Among the graceful and elegant models, it is easy to choose the one that fits in size and shape. Most often, sofas are made either without a berth, or with French or American folding bed transformation systems, and are not suitable for frequent unfolding.

The fashionable color scheme is based on light colors. From milky white to light lilac. Purple, lilac and red colors for art-decor sofas are a little knocked out of it.

The fashion for ecological materials dictates the rules in the furniture market. Fabrics with a high content of natural fibers, velvet and silk are used for upholstery. Manufacturers do not complain about the lack of demand for genuine leather products. Decor elements are increasingly made of wood.

Among the forms in demand, there have been no special changes.

• For many years, corner sofas have been among the leaders. Convenient option. It is easy to choose the size and placement of the chaise longue to the right or left. Most of the furniture factories are launching all new models of corner sofas, supplying them with modern transformation mechanisms, orthopedic blocks and modern decor elements. Among them are corner stands and armrests made of wood, storage space for small items hidden in the sides of the sofa.
• Convertible sofas from blocks are catching up in popularity. The demand for them began to grow with the increase in the area of ​​housing construction. This is a great choice for a living room if you don't have to sleep on such a sofa all the time.Over time, even in high-quality sofas, removable pillow blocks lose their shape and begin to disperse, causing discomfort to the sleeper.
• Classic sofas are still in the lead. True, if earlier they served as a decoration for the living room, now they are increasingly used in the design of children's rooms, dining rooms, offices and even kitchens. All this is due to its compactness and a wide variety of sizes and types of design.
• One of the new products that in 2020 was able to catch up with the leaders in the rating of quality sofas were models made in the shape of a semicircle. They are pleasant to spend an evening with friends over a cup of tea or a glass of wine. It cannot be said that they firmly stay among the leaders. Models of this kind require a lot of space and are not equipped with berths.

Getting into a trend is good. But the sofa, not the shoes. It is difficult to change it in a year. The main thing is that it matches the size and style of the apartment area and its interior. And also satisfied with the appearance and functionality of all household members.

How to choose a sofa for your daily sleep

The realities of our time are such that very often the sofa is used for daily sleep. This is true in small apartments or when living in the same area for several generations. In this case, it should be not so much stylish, but comfortable and durable. What points should you pay attention to when choosing a sofa bed for sleeping.

• As much as you would not like, you will have to give up the leather sofa. However, from models with a smooth fabric as upholstery too. The laundry will slip off, and the skin, in addition, is not hygroscopic.
• It is worth giving preference to models with orthopedic blocks reinforced with springs. Sofas filled with foam rubber are more budgetary in price, but completely short-lived. They quickly lose their shape and attractive appearance. And, most importantly, sleeping on them after a while will become a torment. Through the filler, all the stiffeners will begin to be felt, strengthening the base of the berth.
• The type of folding mechanism plays a significant role for long-term use of the sofa and good rest. The most popular among manufacturers and buyers are the euro-book, dolphin and swivel mechanism for corner models. They provide a flat surface for sleeping, without height differences between components.
• French and American clamshells are gradually losing popularity. If the choice fell on her, then they choose models with a completely metal base, the parts of which are fastened with welded seams. Bolt-on fasteners gradually lose strength and begin to creak.
• The width of the sofa. For a full and comfortable rest for two, choose models with a bed width of at least 150 cm.It is important that for sofas with a swivel transformation mechanism, such a width is very rare.
• The presence of boxes for storing linen.

It should be noted that such methods of transforming sofas as an accordion, dolphin or a folding bed will require quite a lot of space in front of the sofa. It is worth carefully comparing the dimensions of the sofa bed and the room.
