Know your couch: A guide to different sofa types

So it was my first time to buy a new couch and I never thought that it will be so complicated. Searching for the best sofa in Singapore is really tricky because I realized that there are different types of sofa for every needs. Not to mention the fact that it also serves as an interior decoration and not just a furniture to sit on. From wood to fabric sofa, there are a lot of available couches in Singapore. So, how do you really choose the right one that will suit your needs and taste?

Let’s start with what I have come to realize when shopping at Danish Design Co. You have to start with the form and function. You have to imagine first how your sofa will look like wherever you will put it. For instance, your living room. Think of the available space and the furniture that it will be displayed with. Does it go with the design of the room? Next is to consider its function. Would you be using it often or would you just put it mainly for aesthetics? In my case, I was looking for a fabric sofa for my entertainment room, which means that it should be comfy and sturdy.

When I was looking for the best sofa I can find in Singapore, I realized one thing: there is no such thing as the best sofa in Singapore but there is a best sofa for your needs. This idea made me realize the importance of knowing the different types of sofa that’s available in the market. At Danish Design Co, they have 7 types of sofas for all your needs. Let’s talk about it one by one.

They have a 2-seater sofa. It’s like a love seat but a little more sophisticated. So, if you are looking for a cute couch for your bedroom or a small space, you can choose to have it. These types of sofas are really stylish and sleek. 2-seater sofas are more like decorative rather than functional. But at Danish, their sofa designs are also meant to be used.

Next is that they have a 3-seater sofa. It’s almost the same as the love seat but it can accommodate more people. This type of sofa is ideal for relaxation such as watching television or reading books. Just my personal tip, though, if you will go for a 3-seater, you better choose a fabric sofa as it completes the comfort.

Now, if you love to throw parties or simple gatherings, you’d better choose to have the 4-seater sofa. Danish also has that and their collection is really beautiful. It’s more ideal for big houses as it will really take so much of your space. You can team that up with a nice center table and coffee table. Oh, a stylish lamp would be really amazing too.

They also have a selection of modular sofa. These are the big couches that you can move around and customise the shape. It gives more options to interior decorate your living room and you can arrange for a variety of sitting capabilities.

If you are a little luxurious, or you want your home to look like one, you can choose from a variety of chaise lounge sofa. It’s those big sofas that almost looks like a bed, and can also function as one. If you think that small homes cannot pull this off, well you’re wrong. I realised that these are the best sofa for small flats in Singapore because it has a dual function. It’s a sofa, and it can be used as a bed for guests. Amazing, right?

For the stylish ones out there, you can check out the different corner sofas at Danish. It sure will summon your inner interior designer. It’s best for gatherings and simple meetings. Corner sofas create a seating arrangement that’s ideal for conversations. So, yeah, it works well on simple celebrations.

And, lastly, they have a modern-style sofa with an open end. Basically, it’s a sofa without an armrest so you’ll have more seating space. These types are also arrangement-friendly, which means that you can always move it and you don’t need to worry of where to put the armrest. It’s both stylish and structural.

So, take your pick now. Remember that sofas are more than just a piece of furniture. It’s a necessity, a decoration, and an investment.
