Straight sofas

In the interior of modern homes sofa plays a leading role. It can be an element of the decor of the living room, office, bedroom and even the kitchen. The style decision of the whole room depends on the right choice of this piece of furniture.

Winning option for any room will be a straight sofa. This is a timeless classic, whose lineup is amazing diversity.

The advantage of this model, above all, is its versatility. On this couch is convenient not only to relax or seat guests. It will serve as an excellent sleeping place, especially if this piece of furniture is equipped with a transformation mechanism.

Folding sofas often have drawers for storing sleeping accessories, which is very convenient.

The advantage of this design is that this element of the interior can be freely placed in the room and rearranged over time, obeying your own taste, while corner models necessarily imply the presence of a non-occupied corner to accommodate it.

The disadvantage of straight sofas in front of the corner is the fact that they take up significantly more space than they are in the folded form and they clutter up the room. If the sofa will constantly serve as a berth, it is necessary that before it there are no poufs and coffee tables, otherwise they will have to be constantly shifted.

There are many different options for folding sofas. To buy a sofa and do not regret later on your choice, you need to have a clear idea about how the sofa will be placed in the room before visiting a store and shopping. It is not only about its size, but also, for example, about the distance of the piece of furniture from the wall, as well as the amount of space that it will occupy.

Below are the most common mechanisms:

In order to organize a bed, you need to raise the seat. Then the back will take a horizontal position.This is a very reliable mechanism that will serve for many years, but it requires a certain effort when activated. In addition, the joint between the seat and back, located in the middle, can cause inconvenience.

"Book" is suitable for those who are looking for a small version. However, it is worth noting that such a sofa will not be able to be placed close to the wall, because then it will be impossible to expand it.

There is a small compartment for bed linen.

To expand such a sofa, simply lower the armrests. They can be adjusted to your liking. The advantage of such a model is simplicity and compactness. Conveniently, when unfolded, the sofa almost does not take up additional space. Such sofas are often located in children's and teenage rooms, because they are easy to lay out and easy to clean the bed.

This modern design combines the two models described above. You must first adjust the armrests, then lower the seat. There is a roomy drawer for storing bedding. Plus the model is that the backrest and armrests are able to take different positions to create maximum comfort. But the transformation of the sofa takes place in several stages and requires effort.On a daily basis, these actions can be a nuisance.

It differs from the "book" in that it can be placed close to the wall, that is, to save space. The seat rolls out, forming a niche in which the back falls. The bed thus turns out very extensive, as well as linen niches.

Reminds the previous design. To arrange a bed, you need to raise the seat and cover the small niche with a backrest. The joints are not felt.

This option is especially convenient if there is no carpet, because it is being pulled apart by weight. It will not scratch laminate or parquet flooring. But because of the more complex mechanism, such options are more expensive.

The mechanism is activated in one motion, the seat will automatically slide out and take the right place. It is also safe for the floor, as well as the previous version, and is great for everyday use. However, there is no linen box in such models.

Folds out on the principle of an accordion. When assembled, it does not take up much space, but provides an extensive sleeping area. However, the supporting elements here, unlike the "Puma", slide on the floor and can scratch it. With a fleecy carpet, this option may not be suitable.

In order to decompose such a sofa, you need to roll out the seat and fold it to the top pillow. Provides a comfortable place to sleep and is very compact. Its possible disadvantage is the same as that of the previous model.

The bed is hidden under the seat. In order to form it, you need to remove the pillows, pull out the cot and lay it out successively.

Although the result is a vast place to sleep, this option has several disadvantages. The mechanism unfolds in three steps, which is not very convenient and reliable. The mattress is thin due to the design features. There is no storage space for laundry.

This is a more advanced model. The bed is under the seat, you need to pull it out, then expand it. Only two sections are laid out, so the design is more resistant to breakage and suitable for every day. The mattress is very comfortable.

To spread out such a sofa, you need to roll out the bed and squeeze yourself to raise the pillow. This is a good solution for small rooms. Another plus: ease of operation.

The choice of material depends on the color and style of the room.

Fabric straight sofas are distinguished by a variety of design solutions. Depending on the color and texture of the upholstery, they can fit into any interior. You can choose a fabric covering so that it is in harmony with the curtains. It will look stylish, especially with a neutral color of the walls in the room. In addition, these sofas are cheaper than leather.

However, it is much more difficult to care for the fabric, especially if the outer covers are not unfastened. We'll have to buy special products for wet cleaning the coating. The sofa can be used again only after it is completely dry. It should be borne in mind that improper cleaning can damage the filler. During this process it is worth being very attentive and not to spend it too often. Periodically, you can clean the surface with a vacuum cleaner.

It is better not to choose synthetic fabrics for upholstery, since this is fraught with the spread of dust mites. Natural materials, fabric, filler, as well as proper care can protect against this.

Leather is the second most popular upholstery option. In our country, this is a way to emphasize your status, the leather sofa in the living room looks very extravagant.

Leather sofas are limited in color, most often they are solid. They are suitable for a limited line of interiors, for example, in the Oriental style. Also, many have them in offices and reception.

Eco-leather material that has appeared in recent years, which may be a compromise solution. It is environmentally friendly and does not emit harmful substances. In addition, it is cheaper than leather, although it is not inferior to her in appearance and is also easy to care for. The range of colors is much wider. Ecoskin and leatherette? not the same thing, they are made of different materials. Ecoskin soft and pleasant to the touch.

However, we must admit that in durability this material is inferior to leather. In the summer or winter, it may be uncomfortable to sit on. This option is not suitable for homes where pets are present, as its appearance can be seriously affected by their claws.

Long sofas look ridiculous in small rooms and vice versa.Observe the harmony of proportions in the interior is very important. If the room is spacious, then you can install a sofa 3 meters long in it. It will comfortably accommodate a large company or the whole family.

In a small bedroom it is better to choose a piece of furniture of more modest dimensions. Let it be narrow and without armrests, fortunately, modern folding mechanisms allow you to turn even a very compact sofa into a comfortable bed.

Even in a modest hallway, you can install a sofa. It can be single, and if it is also combined with a cupboard or shelf for shoes, this will be the right decision. Often, such furniture items have a niche under the seat, in which it is convenient to store umbrellas and other accessories.

Put the sofa in the kitchen? not as extravagant act as it may seem. They also usually have roomy niches where you can store food or dishes. When buying such a sofa, there is no need for additional kitchen cabinets. In addition, it should be noted that the surface for seating such sofas is much more convenient than ordinary chairs.

The sofa should look harmonious in the room and complement it. The color scheme of this piece of furniture should match the situation around the walls and the floor.Well, if the accessories and decor items in the room are already selected, then you can choose a sofa to match.

Solid sofas are versatile, it is permissible to put them in any room, be it a bedroom, study or living room. In this case, the color depends on both the decor of the walls and the purpose of the room.

To create a calming atmosphere in the room for sleeping, you should use soft pastel colors: white, beige, blue, pink, etc. The blue color is very soothing and in large quantities causes drowsiness. In no case should you draw up a study in such colors, then productivity will noticeably decrease.

Sofas with a picture suitable for living room or nursery. Bright colors and bold drawings emphasize the style of the room and create a cheerful, energetic atmosphere. It is important that not only the color, but also the texture of the upholstery organically looked in the interior. You can pick up accessories that will "beat" the sofa, for example, curtains or vases.Cushions can be an additional space for creativity.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the psycho-type person living in this apartment or room. Experts recommend to equip a more restrained and calm atmosphere in the room for hyperactive children. Smooth shapes such as clouds and calm colors will pacify them. On the other hand, the moderately bright tones in the bedroom of the phlegmatic person will not prevent him from falling asleep, but will give energy.

Below are a few basic color schemes that look most advantageous:

• Monochrome design. This is a popular option in minimalist interiors. The sofa is matched to the color of the walls or a slightly different shade. Suitable for quiet rooms.
• Bright walls, neutral sofa. To emphasize the color of the walls, a piece of furniture of a contrasting, but neutral color is selected. A white sofa is always suitable. Such a designer find is very stylish and protects the room from being overloaded with color.
