Complementary or Contrasting - How to Make the Most of Your Sofas and Chairs
There is no doubt about it that the most important piece of furniture in any living area has got to be the sofa. Not only are these large pieces of furniture important functional elements of the room, providing seating and places for relaxation for you or your guests, but they are also often one of the largest pieces in the room and so quickly draw the eye. In addition, in the majority of cases, most people chose to display their sofas in pride of place in the room, usually centrally as they are the focal part of the space. For these reasons, it is essential that you give a lot of thought to the sofas you choose for your living area, deciding upon something that is a combination of supreme comfort, exceptional quality and of course being elegant to look at.

As well as the design of the sofa itself, it is also important to give some consideration to how you will combine various pieces of furniture together to obtain the amount of seating you need whilst also bringing the entire look and feel of the room together. There are usually two ways you can go about achieving this most effectively. Firstly, you could decide to tie all of your seating choices together with a matching suite that will seamlessly combine elegance with sophistication. A combination of sofas and armchairs works well in almost all spaces, and are versatile with their arrangement, leaving you with bountiful options for creating the style and environment you desire in your home. For example, the ‘Soothing Synergy’ show room, which we display on the ‘Shop Rooms’ section of our website, artfully incorporates the Montado Panama Natural Lounge Sofa and Loveseat in a stylish arrangement that is both practical and beautiful. The addition of the Serena Panama Natural Swivel Chair completes the look; bringing together the crisp clean lines with refined grace.
Alternatively, another option to consider using contrasting fabrics or colours with your sofas and chairs to bring another dimension to your seating arrangements. A perfect example of how this can work wonderfully within a room is displayed in our ‘Shades of Blue’ show room, where the Dulwich Aegean Green Chair offers a wonderful contrast to the white sofa and armchairs. To truly incorporate this style seamlessly within the home, why not offset this statement piece with matching cushions or a work of art?
