Lounging around becomes more classic with the Hooker Furniture Living Room Montgomery Sofa.
Are you thinking of buying or adding a new sofa? Don’t just settle for ordinary sofas. This time, go for the great sofa or couch choices.
Before you begin shopping, though, always consider your personal style and if your preference will match the architectural details of your home. Consider the scale, the size, the colors, and never, ever forget to measure.
Fabric and color options do matter, too. Pick the right texture, color, and patterns for the fabrics that you select. But, of course, sofa choices aren’t based on fabrics or upholstery alone.
Here are some sofa buying guidelines to remember –
Measure Your Space vs. the Sofa
When buying a couch, first, you must measure the space. Make sure that the seating unit will not eat up the entire room or vice versa. Take that measuring tape and measure between the arms of the couch as well as the floor area where it is going to be brought into.
Check the Sofa Frame
The frame must not creak or wobble. It must be sturdy and should sit fully on the floor. The creaky frames are the ones that are indicative of easily-damaged joints. Strong frames, on the other hand, are the ones that sit squarely even when you move them from side to side.
The frame, as well as the corners, are all padded. Take the time to run your hand over the padded areas. The frame must not stick out from the padding. Also, notice how the fabric should not create too much friction as you run your hand through it.
Check for any hollow areas. Pat the center of the couch.
If you happen to be buying a recliner or any sofa with mechanisms, then be sure to check that each part is working. Motion furniture is pricier than your regular sofa so be sure to check that each movable part is functioning.
You also need to check the metal parts, if there are any. Make sure that each one is smooth enough and is free from dangerous edges. Every moving part of the recliner or sofa bed must also have zero tears on the fabric. You would not want to get injured or to cause damage to the new furniture after just a few days or weeks of use.
Check the Seats and Cushions
The seat cushions are an important part of the sofa. They must be resilient and firm to the touch. They must also fit the sofa frame snugly. These cushions should be able to regain their shape when you get up from sitting on them.
Cushions that remain pressed down or flattened will end up looking unsightly in the long run. Also, they will become more uncomfortable to sit on.
The seats should always be comfortable more so for recliners. Choose shallow or deep seats based on your height. The taller you are, the deeper your seat should be.

Check the Arms
As soon as you’re done checking the framework, seats, and the cushions, it’s time to inspect the arms of your sofa. These should not move or jiggle. If these are upholstered, then they must be padded comfortably and snuggly.
If your couch comes with buttons, then be sure to check if each is sewn securely. Take note that loose buttons tend to come off or could get lost. And just like any tailored piece of clothing, be sure to check the patterns, texture, and stripes that should match the sofa seams.
Check the Materials Used
There are many couch materials that are used in manufacturing the best (and, unfortunately, the worst) sofas. The most fragile ones are those that are made of particle board. You wouldn’t want to do anything with these since they are only made of fused wood materials.
Hardwoods are wonderful options. These include solid wood frames made of cherry, oak, beech, walnut, etc. Choose the kiln-dried type as much as you can so that the couch frame won’t snap or even warp.

What details do you see on the Hooker Furniture Living Room Chester Stationary Sofa?
When you’ve been seriously thinking about updating your sofa, you might want to look at other factors apart from the fabric. The details like banding, tufting, and nailheads can present a dressed up sofa or one that’s just casual.
Learn which ones can make your sofa appear more traditional, modern, or simply spectacular.
The Sofa Seam
One element that makes a sofa unique is the seam. Seam styles vary greatly from one sofa to the next. If you have no idea what a seam looks like, then find the edges right where the fabric is sewn. This may be a small part of the sofa and its impact may even be subtle but this is one of those things that can make your sofa look casual or formal.
The Sofa Flat Stitches
There are various stitch types but there are only some that produce a flat-looking seam. Top stitches are quite common and as are the blind seam and the French seam. The overall look that these types of stitches provide is a modern one. Compared to welts, they are less fancy because they are meant to tone down sofas.
The Sofa Welt
That part of your sofa that appears like a thin cord and runs along its seams are your welts. These are also commonly found on seat cushion and throw pillow edges. Welts add a tailored look to your sofa, hence, they make your sofa appear more traditional.
Make this part of your seat pop by making it a different color from the fabric. Graphic touches work well with pieces that come in distinct shapes.
The Sofa Skirt Banding
If your sofa has a skirt, then you can have a band added. This is a different kind of fabric that’s sewn at the bottom. It is about 1-9 inches wide and it used to break up the upholstery’s monotony. When you’re going to use it, though, be sure to limit it to just one seating unit and not the entire furniture fleet as these bands can also overwhelm.
The Non-skirt Banding Type
Banding can also be used on sofas that do not have a skirt. This is done when half an inch of fabric is added at the bottom then keep the piece in place by adding nailheads.
This is a wonderful decorative style in more traditional settings. If you want an ultra-modern setup, then this is not your go-to design.
The Sofa Flange
This is a fabric right on the cushion which extends beyond the sofa seam. You are bound to see a border that resembles a flat fabric. This is also used on sofa cushions, throws, and slipcovered seating units.
A sofa flange is supposed to give the seat a more formal appearance.
The Sofa Diamond Tufting
If you’ve seen depressions on the most stylish sofas in the past, then you have probably seen tufting. This is created by pulling a button and threading it through the fabric. Tufting that creates a diamond pattern is known as the diamond tuft – quite an apt name don’t you think?
Diamond tufting offers a formal or a more traditional look. The buttons’ fabrics can also be altered. Use faux pearls if you want to up the level of poshness in your living room.
There are many other kinds of tufting. Find out if the waffle tuft, which is created through the sewing of fabric together, is the style for you. This kind is not too fancy so it’s alright to use in masculine or Mid-century style homes.
The Sofa Nailhead Trim
Nailhead trim is most apt for rustic, modern or formal surroundings, meaning, it is highly adaptable. While it is seen as a more traditional decorative element, you still can use it with a mixture of traditional and modern.
Nailheads are commonly seen on sofa borders either at one part of the seating unit or throughout the entire piece.

Flexsteel Living Room Fabric Sectional 7564-Sect
The purchase of a sofa is one of the first investments that a homeowner has to make. It is a permanent furniture piece that will sit in the living room for a long time so, yes, take your sweet, sweet time in shopping for the right one.
First, Research
Buying your first sofa or even your second or third is not an easy task. This is something that requires a lot of thinking and wise decision-making. This is, after all, the focal point in the family room. When used daily, it could even be subjected to the most rigorous family activities.
Your sofa is an investment piece. So scour the Internet, magazines, and books on interior design to know what kind you would bring home.
Define What You Want
Just like any other decision in life, you must first know what you want. In order to pick the type of sofa for the living room or just about any space in your home, consider its function, the room size, as well as its configurations.
The standard sofa range from about 6-8 feet long. Its average height is around 37 inches but the contemporary ones could be 4 inches shorter. If you have a taller and a bulkier couch then be sure to place it against the wall.
A recliner is a sofa that is generally suitable for family and media rooms. Judging by its name, of course, it offers an amazing reclining feature.
A chaise, on the other hand, is a sofa that allows you to prop your feet up. It looks stylish as it is a cross between a sectional and the recliner.
Lastly, the sectional is generally for bigger rooms or for smaller rooms that don’t seem to look right with scattered chairs.
Another thing that you need to check is the type of cushions that will go with the sofa. Will you take the loose-cushion back, the semi-attached back, or the tight back?
Nailheads and tufted back and arms are perfect for those who are looking to add some flair to their home.
As for the upholstery, you have a choice among microfiber (best for homes with kids and pets), acrylic (great for sunroom or patio use), leather (withstands wear and tear), and linen (for elegance and formality).
Choose also if you’re going to use slipcovers or not.
Check the Sofa Construction
Quality sofas are often heavy and solid. Check the kind of wood that was used to make this piece of furniture. Frames that are made of kiln-dried wood like birch, alder, oak or maple are all surely durable.
Check also the frame and its joints. Look for the double dowel types and also the glued then screwed on corner blocks. The best sofas have legs that are a continuous part of the frame (though there are sofas that have removable feet so they can be easily brought in through smaller doorways).
If you’re choosing leather or fabric, make sure that you have the durable type.
Measurements Matter
Before you sofa shop, measure the room size. Measure also the current furniture’s dimensions. You can only afford to get the overstuffed sofa piece if you have a sprawling space to place it in. If not, there are many other options to save some space while not totally giving up on style and comfort.
Furniture measurement generally asks for the width, length, depth, and height. You need these dimensions so that you can determine whether or not the sofa will fit in. Measure also the diagonal depth if you have to bring in a sofa to a tight entryway.

Fine Furniture Design Living Room Sofa With Seven Accent Pillows 0810-01A
People love sofas. Most spend the lion’s share on their budgets in buying the best couch. Just imagine sitting in a comfy sofa sipping a hot mug of cocoa as you peruse a bestseller. It is this level of comfort that’s being offered by this piece of furniture why you need to spend time browsing through websites, magazines and interior design books.
Let’s make your sofa shopping fun by studying how many sofas there are in the first place and what benefits you’d get from each –
The Sectional
This may be called a sofa but it is, in essence, a multi-piece furniture. The common number of pieces is at three or five. This can be arranged in different configurations. The more pieces you have, the more configurations you can experiment with. Common configurations include the U and L shapes.
Ideally, every sectional purchase includes fixtures that will connect the different pieces to keep them from separating. Because of the growing popularity of this furniture, there are a lot of styles and materials to choose from. Some are huge while others are smaller.
Sectionals are also great because they are mobile.
The Mid-century Modern Sofa
This is a piece that reigned supreme during the 1940s till the ‘70s. Don’t think that it has stepped down of its lofty position just yet. It has made a comeback recently and people are taking notice.
This sofa style is all about minimalism and highlighting clean lines. There are various styles of this sofa and it was designed to primarily give comfort. Coupled with your choice of home theme, it would surely look fabulous.
The Chesterfield
This sofa offers a tufted design solely on the arms and back. Others include the bench section, too.
‘Wanna be hip and in this year? You would never go wrong with a Chesterfield.
The Contemporary Mid-Century Modern Sofa
Modern furniture is not what most people think it to be – it is not the same as contemporary pieces. Technically speaking, modern furniture is anything that showcases a mid-century design. Also, contemporary is used for furniture pieces that have been recently made available to the market.
So choose from a contemporary chesterfield and a modern chesterfield because they’re different.
The Lawson-style Sofa
This sofa spells C-O-M-F-O-R-T. Its signature design is the set of pillows that is separate from the frame. These pieces are separated to up the level of comfort.
This is a popular design even these days. Buy Lawson-style in different colors, sizes and materials. Move the large pillows as you sit to optimize comfort.
The English Sofa
This is referred to as English because its full term is the English rolled arm. This has low arms compared to the high back.
English also has tight upholstery throughout though it still offers a decent cushion including its arms. This is just like Bridgewater because it has taut upholstery as well as low arms.
The Bridgewater Sofa
This is very comfortable and casual. The arms are also slightly rolled to the sides. These arms are also lower than the back of the sofa.
Any room design could accommodate the beauty of Bridgewater though don’t rely on it to become the highlighted piece in the room. This is reasonably comfortable and it offers a traditional look so it’s best for classic and rustic homes.
The Cabriole Sofa
If you see the equal-height arms and back of the sofa, then you’re definitely staring at a cabriole. The arms often curve inward which create a long, continuous line from one arm to the next.
There are cabriole designs that have ornate elements while others offer more comfortable features.
Look also for the exposed wood trim at the top of the arms and back as these are also the distinguishing features of the cabriole sofa.
Watch out for our other blog on other sofa styles – chaise lounge, sleeper sofas, pull out sofa bed, Futon, bunk bed, daybed, divan, loveseat, and the settee.

The Hooker Furniture Living Room Huntington Morrison Stationary Sofa is already awesome on its own.
Good ol’ days those are, when your grandma used to knit covers for your tables and chairs at home. These seem to exude a homey charm that is just difficult to resist. You may deem these accents to be traditional but you would be surprised at how versatile each of them could get.
Getting to Know the Knit Fabric
A knitted fabric is different from woven ones because of their single continuous yarn that comes in loops and beautiful braid formations. These cute loops give the knitted fabrics their characteristic elasticity.
Classic cable-knit blankets are often draped over benches, sofas, beds and chairs for obvious reasons – to create a down-home look. Pretty much everyone also favors the off-white knitted fabric more than any other color. This might be because it offers a universally comforting look with its pure cotton yarn and all.
The Sofa Sweater
If sweaters can cover beds, then what’s stopping you from using them on your sofa, too? A canopy can shield soft fibers from harsh elements. This only proves that a knitted cover can also look and feel great even in warmer weathers.
Other Smart Sofa Covers
The classic sofa often comes with a neutral color. Though it often comes with a durable fabric, nothing should stop you from dressing it up. You have the leeway to use throws, pillows, and textiles. There are many other ways to dress up almost every aesthetic.
Say no to the sofa being a bore by injecting texture, pattern, and interesting colors. Even a single lumbar pillow on a simple linen sofa should be able to provide a bold statement because of its length and color. A simple way to add impact on any neutral furniture piece is to add a patterned pillow. This is great for those who prefer the minimalist appeal.
Sometimes, all it just takes is an exciting textile draped across the seat of a boring sofa. This should inject a huge dose of color and pattern but in a non-committal sort of way. For those who are bold enough to use a patterned sofa can drape a simple solid-colored fabric or blanket over it. This should protect the seating unit from sticky hands and stinky paws.
A bolster that reflects the same bold-colored accessories throughout the room is certainly going to be eye-catching. This piece can tie with the colors of an artwork hanging on one of the living room walls while making a powerful statement of its own.
Decorative pillows on a cream sofa could have the same exciting color or they could contrast the solid or patterned look that the sofa offers. When you see a thing of beauty such as this sofa, wouldn’t you be enthused to cuddle up with your loved on at night?
A natural linen sofa can be everything but boring because it can have an exciting cover that comes in a variety of color, shape or texture. Pillows can either stand out or make the sofa fade in the background or it could blend with the background and make a superstar out of the sofa.
A mixture of pillow patterns and sizes will give the sofa a sophisticated look. Have them mirror-arranged, meaning, each piece should have a spouse.
If you ever want to try any of these in your home, then begin by picking accent pieces like slipseats or stools, natural eye-catchers, all of them. These will surely make the sofa’s dress a lot more interesting. This is also great when you want to achieve a more eclectic glow in the living room.
So, should you dress up your sofa?
Absolutely.

Neutral colors are often the go-to color when people invest in large upholstered pieces. This often makes sense since neutral hues are easier to harmonize, in short, they are the safest choice. Add to this the fact that the sofa is one of the most expensive pieces of furniture that you buy, and you would understand why most people opt for the safer options. On the other hand, wouldn’t it be nice if your living room didn’t look just like the rest of the neighborhood?
The Story of the Navy Blue Sofa
Consider a bright navy sofa. This can easily become the star of your living room flooded in white. There are many other rich hues in stock. These can also be customized, with so many fabrics to choose from these days, you’re the master when it comes to the final design of your furniture. So, going back on that navy blue sofa, why do you think it can work inside your living room?
The white background works as the canvas to the star of the show – the unique, colorful sofa.
Making the Teal Sectional Legendary
A compact home is the perfect setting for a teal sectional. This will provide ample seating for a small family. A darker color on a jewel-toned fabric is the right material for wear and tear as well as gazillions of spills that could happen in a family that has kids and pets.
This teal furniture can also serve as the focal point of any neutral room. This hue can also be repeated on window treatments and throw pillows.
An Azure Sectional as the Defining Feature
A room that is painted in white and absorbs a great deal of daylight can allow a huge volume of any bold colored furniture piece. It is easy to be visually successful if the rest of the room is whitewashed. Don’t think that the sectional in bold color such as azure would overwhelm the living room because it would never.
Knowing where to place the azure sectional will make it a shoo-in as the focal piece. Just be patient, you would soon get the hang of using a more colorful furniture piece.
Orange Cushions for the Cautious Ones
When the biggest and most colorful furniture pieces don’t work for you or if they are too bold, you can begin your transition to the colorful world of interior design by using some accent pieces first. Rich orange throw pillows will surely be a good addition to a neutral-colored sofa. Pair the sofa with the traditional furniture pieces and appliances plus some accents that may or may not be orange.
It’s really up to you.
This setup works because the rich tones of the throw pillows will create a warm glow that none of the other design elements will be able to provide.
Purple Is Sophistication
Purple is not a usual color that is used in many upholstered pieces. In a home office or a guest room, this color could work very well when used appropriately.
Purple is equal to sophistication and class. Pair it with warm taupe and you’re in fashion heaven.
A purple sofa can be surrounded with other pieces that have purple undertones. These will make the sofa color pretty much leap out.
Chocolate Velvet Is Rich
A chocolate velvet furniture does not stray too much from neutrals. It can blend beautifully with just about any kind of wall, ceiling or floor. And since it is basically brown, it is also easy to accessorize. It can also match golden tones in many accessories.
Pair this lovely piece with neutral throws and surround it with wood tones to complete the look.

Bradington-Young Living Room Wellington Large Stationary Sofa 698-96 has tufted leather.
Fabric is a material that can be used in different finishes. It can be stitched then buttoned to create an interesting tufted piece. Tufted fabrics are those that have buttons and stitches sewn into a cushion. This is done to keep the stuffing from shifting or bunching. Tufting is now also seen as a decorative element in furniture.
Defining Tufting
Apart from mattresses, cushioned chairs and sofas are often the most tufted object in the world. Back in the day, mattresses had tufting to hold the stuffing or batting in place. This was before the mattress coil technology was developed. Untufted pieces almost always ended up with stuffing shifting to the end or on just one side of the mattress.
Buttons are being used nowadays for a more decorative look. These are placed there more for style than for function. Mattress interiors now come with foam, springs and coils.
Button tufting can be accomplished with the use of button forms. These are metal button blanks covered with contrasting or the same fabrics then placed to the object being tufted. Most of these buttons come in shank style or the type of button that has plastic, metal or wire loops where the thread could pass. These buttons are then sewn to the sofa cushion.
Tufting needles are used with or without the wooden handle. This needle is inserted through the cushion and the master artisan works diligently with it. There are also long upholstery needles used for projects with less thickness. These are used on dolls, throw pillows and some cradle mattresses.
An upholsterer can also work on furniture’s backside or its front.
Another kind of tufting is stitch tufting. This is the traditional kind of tufting where button thread, twine, waxed thread or industrial threads are used. Each of the stitches is sewn to the stuffing. This is often used in doll mattresses, bassinets and cradles. The thread’s strength must be able to withstand the pressures of washing and shifting.
Loop or chenille tufted fabrics come with vertical rows of yarn or fiber loops. These are sewn through then formed into a pile. The designs such as leaves, flowers, even human figures can be tufted into the fabric.
Fine Furniture Design Living Room Vestibule Tufted Back Sofa 4514-01 has tufted fabric that nestles effectively in this chiefly beige surroundings. The wooden pieces provide the necessary contrast.
Why Tufting Works
Chesterfield originally was made of velvet but only the crushed velvet type became mainstream. Hollywood homes are filled with this kind of sofa because of the highest levels of sophistication that they are able to offer.
Tufting and color blocking can create focus in any minimalist space. Don’t go gaga over the colors. Let the tufted piece speak for itself and become the star of the show.
Tufted sofas are relatively traditional which makes them perfect in any Old World or rustic setting. If you want to go modern, then all you have to do is to create a traditional layout inside a house with modern architecture.
Tufted sofas can also be transitional pieces. Transitional homes come with furnishings with clean lines so the tufted sofa will make a perfect focal piece.
Always consider scale and mass when you are buying a tufted sofa or any large furniture. The tufted sofa will become an anchor point in any room where you place it. You would, of course, want to be deliberate when making your choices. You could look through an interesting array of tufted sofas then decide on which one would make your theme leap to life.
Many home offices are also using tufted sofas recently. Some even go through great lengths as customizing their seating units so they can have more people seated. Tufted sofas are perfect for social events or casual meetings.

(Top) Hooker Furniture Living Room Gray Motion Six Piece Home Theater Group SS620-HT-097; (Bottom) Hooker Furniture Living Room Gray Motion Three Piece Motion Entertainment Sofa SS620-E3-097
There are some decisions that homeowners must face which are quite difficult. For instance, choosing from bold or neutral paint can be a real pain for some. Picking the right pieces of furniture can be an even bigger pain. When picking the seating units, have you ever considered investing in a gray sofa?
The sofa buying process can get a lot easier when you go with gray. You may wince at the idea at first but read through first –
Gray Is Unbiased
As you already know, gray is the mixture of black and white. It could have little to zero undertone, hence, it is as neutral as it could get. This means that you can anchor this color into absolutely any color scheme or interior design theme that you could imagine.
Gray can make any color pop. Take the case of a room which is mainly blue. There may just be a few accessories that show actual color but it is gray that would make the blue more interesting.
Mix gray with jet black and what you achieve is vividness; fuse it with stark white and what you’d get fresh and clean. You can always play with pillows as accents without worrying that they would clash with the rest of the design elements. Keep in mind that trends come and go but gray is an ever reliable color that can fit into any new palette sublimely.
Gray Sofa Is Cool
Think of pale blues, exciting purples and acid greens – and just about any color in between. These are cool colors that would appear way cooler if gray is used as a backdrop. Those who like the contemporary look would surely love gray especially when it is used as a color for the sofa set.
Gray Sofa Is Hot
Okay, gray isn’t just cool it is also so hot that it can be the perfect pair for bold colors such as orange, red, pink and yellow. People who gravitate towards more cheerful and bold colors should embrace gray especially when used with a hint of brown.
A brown sofa with a touch of brown will be subtly warm; it will subdue the wild side of any bold color.
Gray Is Soft
Just like white and beige, gray can be dressed to suit a cottage-inspired or shabby chic dwelling. Use lots of gray on twill pillows, linen, blankets, etc. Gray is warmly sensible which makes it the perfect color to use when uncertain about something.
Gray Is Edgy
Gray being soft does not mean that it is boring. When used properly, it can also offer a sleeker, more kempt look. This is the perfect hue to complement glamorous accessories and graphic patterns used. Gray can also work well with crisp black lines, gold and silver tones.
Gray Unifies
If you chose to invest in a gray sofa, then you have chosen well. It is a color that ties colors perfectly. It does not just work well with another color but it can also harmonize other established hues that you decided to use.
Rich depths of gray can tone down contrasting colors of orange, green and blue inside a room. The solid gray sofa will humble the bold-patterned rug and would make vivid-colored accents more unified.
What’s beautiful about gray is that it is naturally sophisticated especially when used in moody shades. This means that even the simplest sofa – even a loveseat – when upholstered in gray will look like a high-end furniture piece.
It’s Time to Feature Gray
In a more subdued palette, gray is the perfect feature piece. This is a flexible color that can make a bold statement, too. Gray can take the wheel, or it can take the backseat – it is practically everything.
