To lie, to sit, work, relax, read, talk on the phone or sleep: the multifunctional sofa. In the eighteenth century a sofa was also called 'causeuse' (a room for two people where one could talk); now in the XXI century, maybe we should call the couch a way of life.

The time you received your friends in a room and invited them to sit on a traditional, formal chair is long gone. Today you invite them to sit on a modern, huge or luxurious couch. This is also where you spend a good part of your life; reading, watching TV, doing your work or even having a siesta so the kind of sofa you choose is very important.

The main function of a sofa should be comfortable, giving a feeling of relaxation.

The first thing you have to think about when choosing from dozens of models of sofas on the market is: how are you going to use it and who will use it? If you want to choose a type of sofa that you can spend a quiet relaxing afternoon watching a film, you must make sure that that particular model couch is long enough and soft. Couches for relaxation on a daily basis should not be overly hard, so that your spinal column does not have to suffer, as a harsh, uncomfortable sofa can cause discomfort. The second thing you have to think about when you pick a sofa is, where in the room it will be positioned in relation to the rest of the furniture.

If the area is small, you'll be forced to choose a sofa which is less bulky and of a lighter colour to give the illusion of more space. If you opt for a large, dark sofa, in a small space, the room will look unbalanced. There's no way to get rid of this inconvenient unless, on the opposite side of the room, you place a piece of furniture looking just as big and harsh, but the results won't be that good.

If you are the lucky owner of some large living spaces, you can happily use any model of sofa that you like. There are no restrictions at all, but try to use only the right colours that go with the other pieces of furniture in your room.

A brown leather chesterfield sofa is always welcome when you are tired and want a few moments of relaxation, so when choosing one you should not forget that you have to take into account both the colour, structure and material. And all three elements must combine with the atmosphere, the owner's lifestyle and the rest of the furniture in the room.

The leather was, is and will always be on top, being used in different fields: clothing and footwear, car seats and sofas. One reason you should buy such a product is that it is more resistant in time and becomes increasingly smooth and it also brings a special glamorous note to the room.

For less money you can buy the ones in all types of material, finding all the colours that you need to go well with the room, that are also very easy to clean and don't need special maintenance as the ones in leather.

In recent years, the market was enriched with a new model of sofa: multifunctional sofa. They are usually composed of several bodies, it allows you to rearrange the room with good taste, using space with maximum efficiency. During the day enjoy a stylish sofa where you can invite guests, and at night becomes a comfortable bed that will ensure a peaceful sleep. You can also go for the corner sofas, especially if you have a small room, managing in this way to save a little bit of the space, adaptable to any kind of design and furniture.

In conclusion, buying a chesterfield sofa should be carefully planned. It is a great piece of furniture, which occupies a central place in your home and a well chosen couch can ensure comfort and elegance. Therefore, make sure you choose the perfect sofa!
