5 Things to Consider When Buying a New Sofa
When purchasing a new sofa, there are a variety of factors to consider. Ficari’s customer service and design team can help you take some of the guesswork out of the process. Here is what you need to know:
- Aesthetics
The first step in purchasing a new couch is to visualize the furniture in the space. Does the design match the room? Do the colours and finish speak to the space? Take advantage of the details and fabric descriptions on Ficari’s website to help with this. They can even send up to six swatches to the customer’s home so that they can get a better feel for the look in their space.
- Comfort
Comfort, depth, and height should all be considered when looking at seating options. Here are 3 factors to think about when choosing a comfortable seat:
- Soft vs. Firm
Softer seating is intended for those who like to sink into their seat for a more relaxed experience, contrasted with more structure, resistance and support found in a firmer seat. It is noteworthy that firmer sofas tend to have a neater look in the home.
- Shallow vs. Deep
The shallower the seat, the more upright and supported you will sit. Deeper seats create a relaxing level of comfort where you can lean back or tuck your legs onto your seat.
- High vs. Low
Similar to a deeper seat, higher seating is recommended if you prefer sitting upright, whereas lower seating is suited for those who prefer moving from leaning back to sitting upright.
- Size
Whether you live in a condominium, house or in a mansion, there are several components to consider when choosing furniture size. It is critical that the sofa you select matches the desired area, as well as the number of people in the household. To make this step easier, Ficari includes dimensions of each furniture piece in the product descriptions on their website, making it easier for customers to decide which sofa would best suit their home.
- Longevity
It is essential to examine what the goal is with this particular piece of furniture: is the style of the sofa one you would like in your home temporarily or for a long period of time? This should also be considered when looking at fabric options. Ficari features sophisticated pieces that stand the test of time, and offer neutral and classic colour pallettes, making it easy to accessorize, and change your décor based on the season.
- Location
Purchasing a new sofa locally allows for faster lead times, getting your furniture in your home more quickly and with less disruption. Shipping expenses are also decreased, making it more cost-effective. Ficari sells directly to the customer giving them confidence in the product they are purchasing and peace of mind that they are paying a lower price. As an added benefit, customers have more of a direct connection with the company, should there be any questions related to their purchase.
