Your sofa is the heart of your living room. It’s where you unwind after a long day, host friends for casual evenings, and gather with family on weekends. Because it gets used every single day, choosing a new sofa requires finding the sweet spot between durability, comfort, and signature style.

If you’re investing in a bespoke, made-to-order sofa, here is everything you need to consider before placing your order.

1. Finding the Right Silhouette for Your Space

Before looking at fabrics, assess the scale and flow of your room:

• Corner & L-Shape Sofas: Ideal for open-plan living areas or large families who love to stretch out together.

• Classic 3-Seaters & 2-Seaters: Perfect for traditional living rooms, allowing space for complementary accent chairs.

• Low-Profile vs. Raised Legs: Sofas with exposed wooden or metal legs allow light to pass underneath, making smaller rooms feel larger. Low-profile, fully upholstered bases offer a more grounded, cozy aesthetic.
