It’s not just convenience and style compatibility that’s important.
There are other nuances associated with choosing a sofa for a small apartment.
A comment on this topic was shared by the expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, designer Yulia Tychino.
The first nuance concerns the size of the furniture. For example, for a kitchen-living room of a standard modern layout, a sofa of 140 by 180 cm is ideal.
If we are talking about a studio apartment, then in this case it is 90 by 140 cm.
For a small apartment, color also plays a role. Dark shades always visually reduce space, while light shades, on the contrary, add it.
Light furniture raises concerns about the speed of contamination. The solution is upholstery with special impregnations.
It is better to avoid models with patterns, the designer advises. It is better to complement the furniture with accent pillows.
In addition, it is worth considering models with rounded corners and smooth shapes.
Corner sofas are a bad option for a small apartment.
But multifunctional models are ideal. It is worth considering options with a sleeping place.
