Tips On Buying Sofas For Either Work Or Play

Sofas are not just for the home nowadays. Many places of business, from offices to mechanic shops, have sofas for their customers to sit on during their walk-ins. What do you need to look for when buying a sofa for your business?

Durability

This has to be the most important factor to figure in when purchasing a new sofa for your business. Hopefully, you will have lots of customers so you need to make sure that the sofa you choose is durable enough to handle a heavy traffic area. Chances are that the sofas which are made well with quality material will be more highly priced than other sofas. But the extra money will be worth it in the long run when the sofa lasts you many years instead of just a few months.

You will also want to make it so that that the sofa has a material that is very easy to clean. Even if there is no drinking or eating in the area, the sofa will still tend to get not so clean from so many people sitting on it or from children climbing on it or putting their feet up. You might even think about buying a sofa with fancy fabrics, since the fabrics have patterns so spills are harder to spot and is easier to keep clean.

Size

One of the largest problems in buying a sofa for an office is the fact that while you will need a lot of space for seating, you don’t have that much space in a small office for a large sofa. If that is the case, then you might want to consider purchasing a sectional sofa. Sectional sofas can be placed into the corner of any room without taking up a lot of space. Sectional sofas can also be made into two or more loveseats or chairs.

Soft Sofa vs Firm Sofa

Don’t underestimate the importance of a sofa – it is the crown jewel of the living room. We spend hours on it chatting to guests, napping on it after a long day and watching our favourite television shows, so choose the right sofa suited to your preference!

Aside from choosing the colour and the fabric of the sofa, keep in mind the quality and personal comfort. Thus arises the age-old question – is a soft or a firm sofa better?

This is a question that many of our customers have asked us. While a soft sofa might be comfortable, there are many disadvantages that come with it.

Soft Sofas

A soft sofa initially may be the obvious choice, but too comfortable a sofa may actually be ruining your back. Physiotherapists have warned against soft sofas with deep cushions as 20% of customers who have purchased soft sofas have complained of lower backache and shoulder strain. Soft sofas actually encourage people to slouch rather than facilitate good postural habits. “Soft upholstery may not give the spine and neck the support that is required,” notes Richard Evans, physiotherapist of the Back and Body Clinic, “by sitting for too long, especially in a poor postural or slumped position you can add a tremendous amount of pressure to your back, overstretch the spinal ligaments and increase the pressure on your intervertebral discs. This in turn can lead to on-going aches and pains.”

Kids and Pets

However, softer sofas are particularly popular for those with kids. Kids might not be big enough to sit fully on the sofa, so having a soft sofa allows them to lie on the seat cushion, and kids generally have lots of fun bouncing around on them. However, those with pets should note that softer sofas are more susceptible to wear and tear should your pet like to lie on your sofa a lot. A common case is an indentation in the shape of your pet forming in the soft sofa.

Firm Sofas

On the other hand, firm sofas are ideal for optimum back support. In addition to promoting good posture, firm sofas are also good for hosting guests. Sofas soften with prolonged use, so getting a firm sofa will become soft over time. However, too firm a sofa can take away the joy of sinking into a comfortable sofa after a long day of work, so ensure that you strike a balance. Adding soft cushions can boost the profile of the sofa, ensuring a good mix of softness and firmness that you can enjoy.  If your sofa would be used to host guests often, a firmer sofa would definitely be the better choice, as a soft sofa is much less durable. A firm sofa makes sitting upright and talking easier,  as compared to sinking back on a soft seat, providing a comfortable talking environment.

We’ve often been asked by our customers how firm our sofas are. Most of our sofas are made of high-quality dense foam which is slightly firmer than the average sofa cushion. Our reason for preferring such a firmness is that we want our sofas to be durable and versatile.

Customers who prefer a softer sofa can add soft cushions, or sometimes even a layer of cloth over the sofa seat to increase the amount of cushioning. However, because we are the manufacturers, we’re able to customize the firmness of the sofa. If you’d like a softer, customized sofa, feel free to contact our team and we’ll see what we can do for you! www.centrepiece.com.sg or email: info@centrepiece.com.sg

All in all, it all boils down to personal preference. Take your time in deciding which sofa works best for you!

6 tips for that prefect sofa in Singapore

We break down the sofa buying process so that you get the piece that is right for your needs and space

Like everything else in this era of endless choice, there seem to be infinite options when it comes to choosing a sofa. You might think you know exactly what you want, but once you walk into a shop or browse images online, the styles, shapes, and customisation alternatives can become overwhelming. Save yourself the time, money, and potential buyer’s remorse and use these tips to get a clear idea of what you want (and what you need!) before you start the hunt.

1. Consider size first
If you have a bigger living room, you’ll need to decide exactly how much of the living room you want your sofa to fill. Do you want to include other sofas or chairs? Do you want a coffee table? If so, a simple sofa, or one with a slight L-shape is probably the best fit. If you’re looking for a sofa that will be the focal point of your living room, look for rounder sofa shapes that take up a bit more room and provide a lot of seating.

If you have a small living room, odds are you’ll need a smaller sofa . With less space, any sofa or sofa is going to be in the spotlight, so it’s important to pick something that is practical, but is also of a strong design that carries and complements the rest of the space.

2. Decide exactly how the sofa will be oriented
Successfully organising a living space starts with analysing your lifestyle. What do you do the most in that space? Do you like to wind down in front of the TV? Make sure your sofa faces that direction. Love hosting game or wine nights? Create a semi circle (or even full circle) around a central table.

Does your family use the living room to lounge, relax and read? Surround your sofa with chairs and cushions to create multiple seating areas that can be enjoyed individually, or as a large group.

Browse sofas and sectionals

3. Determine which shape will suit the room best
Now that you’ve decided your sofa’s function, it’s time to figure out which shape will help it fulfilthat purpose. A clean L-shape is great for open areas that need to be divided – such as separating the living room from the dining room.

A rounder shape is a bit more conducive for a smaller space meant to serve as a gathering area for groups of people, but could also be perfect for a media room.

Does your room have a well-rounded personality?

If you want to have more chairs and tables in your living room, a chaise or a daybed could be a good alternative to a traditional sofa. It still provides seating for several people, but is compact.

4. Research upholstery materials. Which will be best for you?

Aesthetic is important, but functionality is key when it comes to choosing a material for your sofa. Some of us that would love to indulge in a plush, white suede sofa – they’re so gorgeous, but so dangerous. Suede can be a poor choice if you have pets or small children who will cause some serious damage.

Leather – particularly in darker colours – is consistently in style, generally wears well with age, and can be fairly easy to clean.

Choosing a Sofa: Fabric vs. Leather

Another choice is to opt to have your couch upholstered in an outdoor fabric. Many companies now carry weather-proof fabric, which resist stains, water and fading from the sun. Many outdoor furniture companies also have outdoor sofas and love seats that are so simple and classic in design that they could easily be used indoors.

Stay sun smart with soft furnishings

5. Choose a style that complements your home
It can be a little hard to nail down your own personal style, but go with your gut instinct when picking the type of sofa that will fit naturally in your home. If your style is sleek and modern, pick something that reflects that in clean lines and dramatic colours.

If your home is an eclectic mix of colours and designs, a sofa that combines several styles (such as a vintage sofa re-upholstered in a colourful fabric, or a more modern shape with traditional accents) could be the perfect expression of your taste.

If your look is a little more traditional, a classically structured sofa in a durable and neutral fabric will stand the test of time and will work well with various colours and complementing pieces.

6. Pick a colour: bright, printed, or neutral?
Re-upholstering furniture is an option for anyone who wants to personalise a piece of furniture.

Don’t be afraid to choose a sofa with a fun or unique print! It can add a surprisingly personal touch and quickly transform the feel of the entire room.

If you’re too nervous to experiment with bolder colours and patterns in your sofa, you can always opt for a funky ottoman that can double as a coffee table. It’ll add a more subtle sense of diversity to your living room, while complementing more classic sofas and chairs.

This is one colour orlack of colour that is not for everybody. Only those who can truly afford the time, money and effort are entitled to have these at home.

Number 1: If you have children, this is definitely a BAD idea!

Number 2: If you have pets that is not contain in a cage or fish bowl then this will drive you crazy!

Number 3: Are you the type that have to entertain plenty of guest and love to serve RED wine? Well… good luck to you when your guest gets a little tipsy.

Number 4: If your home has huge windows, and you get SUNLIGHT streaming in… Ok… this may sound like something that people would want in the cold climate. But you know you are in the tropics and SINGAPORE is HOT and sunny. So with constant sunshine, your fabrics will change colour in no time!

Number 5: White sofa is hard to come by in the stores as it is high maintenance and it is not for mere “mortals” or the massess. It takes guts to commit yourself to such an choice and if you really feel strongly about this.
