A friend of mine had just finished decorating her house and was planning to buy a sofa, so she insisted on asking me to go with her to the furniture store.

After walking around the furniture store for about half a day, I found that many styles of sofas in the store were not very good and not suitable to buy home. However, my friend listened to the salesperson's nonsense and almost placed an order.

As someone who has changed sofas three times, I'm going to tell you two honest words: don't buy these five types of sofas. I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just speaking from experience.

The first type: European sofa

European-style sofas are old models from a few years ago. Although European-style sofas look more refined, if they are not matched with European-style decorations, it is easy to cause inconsistencies between the home decoration and furniture styles, making the home look out of place.

In addition to this, European-style sofas come in many shapes and sizes, are easily dusty, and difficult to clean.

When I bought a sofa for the first time, I chose a European style sofa. I liked it very much when I first got it home, but after using it for a while, it was full of dust mites, so I changed it.

Friends like me who don’t have time to clean the sofa regularly, no matter how the salesperson tries to fool you, don’t buy a European-style sofa!

The second type: low-leg sofa

Minimalist decoration is popular now, and the simpler the shape of the sofa is, the better. Therefore, this low-legged sofa that looks more simple and fashionable is very popular among young people.

Although low-legged sofas are very beautiful, they also have certain disadvantages. That is because bacteria and dust are easily bred underneath the low-legged sofas, making it difficult to clean the bottom of the sofa. If you really want to clean it, it will take a lot of time.

In addition, low-legged sofas have another disadvantage, which is that their load-bearing capacity is relatively weak. If you buy a low-quality sofa, it can easily cause the sofa to collapse.

The third type: low back sofa

Low-back sofas have also become popular in recent years. Although they look high-end, after actually moving in, we can find out their useless features when using them.

The backrest of a low-back sofa is relatively low, which makes it very uncomfortable when we lean on it. It also feels like our entire back is hanging in the air, which is very uncomfortable.

When we get home from work we just want to have a good rest, so it is better to choose a sofa that is more comfortable.

The fourth type: artificial leather sofa

If you want to buy a leather sofa, it is recommended that you choose genuine leather, lambskin or calfskin sofas. The material is more comfortable and feels good to the touch.

However, don't be tempted to buy cheap artificial leather sofas. Artificial leather sofas have a disadvantage, which is that the leather is easy to peel and have odor after a period of use.

Especially when the weather is hot, our skin sweats and if it comes into direct contact with the sofa, the leather sofa will peel off, so it is not recommended to choose a leather sofa.

Fifth type: L-shaped chaise longue sofa

Chaise longue sofas were very popular in the past, but in recent years people feel that this type of sofa is bulky and takes up space when placed in the home. In fact, not all house types cannot use this type of sofa, but the choice of this type of sofa needs to be determined based on the area of ​​the living room.

If your home is small and the living room span is less than 4 meters, choosing an L-shaped chaise longue sofa may make the room feel crowded. If your home is large and the living room span is more than 4 meters, you can choose an L-shaped sofa, which will look very elegant when placed in the living room.

Xiaoju Summary:

When we choose a sofa, we must not only consider its appearance, but also need to choose according to the area of ​​our home, decoration style, and comfort of the sofa. Otherwise, it is easy to make mistakes and affect your sense of happiness at home.
