Natural wooden sofa sets are often quite expensive interior products. Therefore, when buying a wooden sofa set, you need to choose quite carefully to get the best wooden sofa set. However, do you know what a good wooden sofa set is? How to distinguish between a natural wood sofa and an industrial wood sofa? Do you need advice on the style, design and color of the sofa? We would like to share with you some experiences when choosing wooden sofas.
1. Consider design styles
First, you need to make sure that the wooden sofa set you choose matches the overall design of your living room. If necessary, consult with architects and ask them for advice or bring drawings so the sales consultant will advise you.
The overall design style of the house also greatly affects the customer’s tendency to choose a sofa. For example, with neoclassical style, you should choose armchairs with rolling arms made of European fabric or with classic large patterns. Modern style chooses sofas with clear shapes, one-color fabric or few patterns… In general, you must consider the overall design to avoid conflicts.
2. Evaluating bare wood vs. upholstered sofas
There are two main types of natural wood sofas: one is bare wood, the other is upholstered. With bare wooden sofas, you should check carefully around them to see if they are cracked, if the paint is evenly colored or if the joints are tight. Use your hand to test the gloss and color durability of the paint.
As for wooden sofa sets with cushions (usually foam cushions covered with fabric). You should not choose a mattress that is too hard, there should be a little sagging to create a comfortable feeling. If the cushion sags too much, skip this sofa set, the cushion is too soft and easily wrinkles the fabric, making it unsightly. When you try sitting and then standing up and see that the mattress returns to its original state, the mattress has moderate hardness.
Fabric-covered foam cushion combined with chair. The foam cushion must not be too hard, which will cause discomfort when used, and you should not use a foam cushion that is too soft, which will cause an uncomfortable feeling when used and the aesthetics will not be wrinkled. The ideal foam cushion is moderately hard, soft when sitting, not wrinkled, and has good elasticity.
When standing up, the foam cushion must return to its original state. Regarding the upholstery material of the foam cushion, it needs a soft fabric that is easy to remove when cleaning and the color matches the overall look of the wooden sofa set.
3. Testing comfort and durability of wooden sofa
The sofa is designed to bring relaxation and comfort when used. Therefore, you should ask the salesperson to allow you to sit on the sofa for about 5 or 10 minutes to feel the things that you cannot evaluate just by looking at them. A little tip is to try sitting down on the sofa, placing your hands on the armrest and standing up immediately.
If you do not have any difficulty standing up, the height, length of the seat and armrest position of that sofa set are designed to suit your size. In addition, you need to test the sturdiness of the sofa by vigorously shaking the backrest with your hand, or shaking your body in both left and right directions when sitting on the sofa.
