It’s one of the most expensive purchases you are likely to make in terms of your home, whether you have just bought your first house, moved in to an unfurnished rental property or are simply looking to replace one that has reached the end of its usability.
For that reason, a sofa is also something you are going to want to keep for many years - so it’s vital that you make the right choice when you are looking to make a purchase.
The good news is that there’s lots of choice out there - but that can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve scoured the high street and online retailers to put together this guide of 14 of the best sofas that you can buy right now with just a few clicks of a button.
What do I need to consider when buying a sofa?
The first thing to consider when buying a sofa is how much space you have. It might sound obvious, but measure the space you have available - and also measure the width and height of your door frame. The last thing anybody wants on delivery day is to find that your new piece of furniture won’t even fit through your front door or overwhelms your room when you’ve got it in situ.
Once you have these measurements, you’ll be able to compare them to the measurements given on all the retailers’ websites to be sure it’s suitable for your needs. This should help you determine whether you want a two seater, three seater or something even bigger.
The second thing to consider is your budget. There are a huge amount of suppliers out there, and the prices for sofas of any size can vary from a few hundred to a few thousand. There’s plenty of choice, no matter what price bracket you’re looking in and we’ve included sofas from low to high price points.
The third thing to do is to consider what style you want. There’s lots of styles out there, from the classic Chesterfield to more contemporary looks. The right one for you is simply the one that catches your eye and will compliment any existing decor you have.
The fourth thing to consider is colour. We’ve made sure to include sofas which are available in a wide range of colours and patterns so it will be easy to choose something that catches your eye and, again, compliments are exisiting style choices you’ve already made for the room. The good news is that a lot of suppliers will send colour swatches for free ahead of purchase, so you can be sure you’ve got the right shade for you.
Once you’ve made all those choices, it’s time to start shopping. Take a look through our gallery below of 14 of the best sofas you can be right now and see which one is for you.
