How to choose the ideal sofa for your living room?

The sofa reigns at the heart of the living room, in this space where you spend your best moments. Its choice therefore deserves special attention, as it directly influences your daily comfort and the atmosphere of your interior.

Beyond style, it is a lasting investment that must withstand the test of time. The quality of materials, comfort and craftsmanship are all essential elements to consider in making the right choice.

So, what criteria should you consider to find the ideal sofa? Follow our guide!

The art of arranging your space

Arranging a living room is an exercise that requires taking many parameters into account. Before embarking on choosing a sofa, we recommend a methodical approach. Start with an analysis of your space:

Take precise measurements

  • La surface au sol disponible : en tenant compte des radiateurs et prises électriques
  • La hauteur sous plafond : particulièrement importante pour les grands modèles
  • La largeur des zones de circulation : avec un minimum de 80 cm recommandé
  • La distance optimale par rapport aux autres meubles (60 cm minimum)

Observe natural light

  • L’orientation des fenêtres et l’exposition au soleil
  • Les zones d'ombre et de lumière selon les heures de la journée
  • Leur impact sur le choix des couleurs et des matériaux

Analyze focal points

  • L’emplacement de la cheminée ou de la TV
  • La vue sur l'extérieur
  • Les axes de circulation naturels dans la pièce

Our advice: Photograph your space from different angles and at different times of the day. Then create a plan including measurements and the particularities of the room. This approach will allow you to more easily visualize the different possible configurations.

The dimension guide for a well-proportioned living room

The size and configuration of your room largely determine the most suitable type of sofa. Here are our recommendations according to your situation.

What sofa for spaces over 25m²?

Large surfaces allow the installation of a corner sofa or a modular composition, like our Angie chaise lounge sofa.

A corner sofa to create distinct living spaces

  • Il crée naturellement des zones distinctes en optimisant les volumes
  • Il offre de nombreuses places assises
  • Il peut intégrer une méridienne pour plus de modularité

A modular composition for more flexibility

  • Sa réversibilité offre une adaptation aux évolutions de vos besoins
  • La circulation est facilitée dans la pièce
  • Il est idéal pour les salons en L

What sofa for a living room between 15 and 25m²?

For these intermediate spaces, the straight sofa is the ideal solution. Our Gabriel model perfectly illustrates this sought-after balance: its clean lines and harmonious proportions integrate naturally into your interior. Its timeless silhouette allows you multiple arrangement possibilities, whether as a centerpiece or accompanied by armchairs to create a cohesive and welcoming ensemble.

Comfort: the art of well-being

The comfort of a sofa is based on a subtle balance between several technical elements. Our years of expertise have allowed us to define the precise criteria that guarantee an optimal experience.

Ergonomics at the service of your comfort

The perfect seat is based on precisely calculated dimensions. Seat depth plays a crucial role: 80 cm invites absolute relaxation, while 60 cm offers ideal versatility for all daily uses. To personalize your comfort, additional cushions allow you to adjust this depth according to your preferences.

The seat height, over 40 cm, is not random. It represents the optimal balance between seating comfort and ease of standing up, suitable for most body types.

Materials selected to last

The longevity of our sofas is based on a rigorous selection of materials and a demanding manufacturing process:

  • Des structures en bois massif soigneusement sélectionné
  • Des revêtements testés pour leur résistance à l'usure quotidienne
  • Des coutures renforcées aux points de tension

Each assembly, each finish is made with particular attention, guaranteeing not only the aesthetics but also the durability of your sofa over the years.

What color sofa to choose?

The palette of possibilities: a refined chromatic universe

Our color palette is the result of in-depth reflection on light, harmonies and trends.

Grays: modern sophistication

Our range of grays offers a subtle spectrum of emotions:

  • Le gris perle apporte une touche contemporaine raffinée
  • Le gris taupe réchauffe l'atmosphère avec élégance

Peacock blue: depth and elegance

This captivating hue brings a unique depth to your space. Its subtle variations under different lights create a changing spectacle throughout the day. 

Saffron: warmth and refinement

Evocative of precious spices, saffron infuses Mediterranean warmth into your interior. This solar hue harmonizes with natural wood and also expresses itself subtly in accent touches.

The choice of textures: beyond color

  • Le lin séduit par son caractère authentique et ses variations naturelles de teintes. Sa texture brute mais raffinée apporte une dimension tactile unique à votre canapé.
  • Le velours de coton offre une expérience sensorielle incomparable : une profondeur de couleur qui capte la lumière, des reflets changeants qui animent la surface, un toucher soyeux invitant à la détente, un confort thermique optimal.

Our advice: For an assured elegant decoration, explore texture variations in the same shade. This subtle play on materials creates sophisticated visual depth while maintaining perfect harmony in your space.

Choosing your sofa requires comprehensive reflection that goes well beyond aesthetics. From precise analysis of your space to technical choices that guarantee your comfort, every detail counts in this important decision.
