The sofa guide: Which model suits you?

The heart of the home is ... the living room! High-quality upholstered furniture in the coziest room of the home is immensely important. It should be comfortable, durable and, ideally, easy to clean. Different lifestyles and requirements call for different models of upholstered furniture. But which size is right and what are the differences between the models? We explain in this blog article.

The sofa: a must in every living room

Even in ancient times, there were wider loungers that were used for dining, resting and sitting. At that time, the models were still made of marble, wood, metal or even ivory. In the 17th century, sofas conquered aristocratic houses in England and Germany as luxury furniture. Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine the living area without the sofa. As an upholstered group consisting of 2-seater and 3-seater sofas, you can sit together comfortably and enjoy the evening or the weekend. As a single sofa, the sofa is also a place to relax and unwind. In smaller apartments in particular, it offers guests a comfortable place to sit. A smaller sofa is ideal as furniture for a vacation apartment, for example. Many models are also available as corner sofas. This requires a little more space, but offers more seating for friends and family.

Récamière & chaise longue as an elegant addition to your home

The close relatives of the classic sofa: the récamière and the chaise longue. Both can be used both as seating and for resting. The special feature of the recamiere is that it usually lacks a backrest. Here, the person only has a supporting armrest on both sides. This can also be slightly higher so that you can comfortably lean your back against it while stretching your legs out on the seat. Chaise longue means "long chair". The backrest is therefore only on one side of the long seat, including the raised head end. This allows you to lie down comfortably and is extremely practical for a short nap, for example.

U-shaped sofa: The bigger, the better

The larger the family, the greater the need for upholstered furniture with plenty of seating. This is where a high-quality living area comes in handy. The modular U-shaped sofa opens up a number of different options, because it doesn't always have to look the same. However, the practical thing about a living area is not just the number of seats - the shape allows you to make the best possible use of nooks and crannies in your living space. The modular layout can also be used to separate areas from one another. Vary the piece of furniture to suit your needs!

The sofa bed: a sofa for all occasions

Spontaneous overnight guests? We can help with that. Of course, there is also a recamiere with a sleeping function, but this is usually only sufficient for one person. If there are more sleeping guests, you will be in a dilemma. Our alternative: a daybed or sofa bed is perfect for overnight stays. In the blink of an eye, you can turn a simple piece of seating furniture into a comfortable place to sleep. You can also create more sleeping space for your guests in your vacation apartment.
