Essential Elements of Three-Seater Sofa Design 

Durable Materials for Comfortable Sofa Design

  • Rattan is natural, anti-corrosive, and beautiful, but it requires oiling to maintain its quality and has good air permeability.
  • Fabric cloth is processed to achieve a particular artistic effect, is available in many rich colours and can be easily washed.
  • Solid wood gives any space a high-end, rustic, upscale look, but it should not be placed near the heater.
  • Leather has good breathability, doesn’t get dirty quickly and has great texture.

Tips to Choose the Best Three-Seater Sofa Design for Your Living Room

  • Measure the space in the living room.
  • Consider the right material.
  • Complement the sofa with the home theme.
  • Assess the durability.
  • Opt for the right type of colour.
  • Check for any additional features.
  • Evaluate the sofa’s comfort through a ‘checklist of tests’ which are:
  1. Sit Test: Check how the backrest feels when you settle in to watch television.
  2. Size Test: Look at how the sofa fits you, whether you sit cross-legged or sprawl out.
  3. Cushion Test: Assess if they can hold you by wiggling in and then standing up.
  4. Fabric Test: Run your hands over the sofa fabric to check the smoothness and strength.
  5. Frame Test: Carefully check if the sofa frame creaks. No sounds mean it is of good quality.
  6. Armrest Test: Armrests should feel natural and should not strain your shoulders.
