You may already know lots of things about sofas. Common knowledge stuff like: they are typically upholstered seating for more than one person. Or that they typically have a back and two sides and are made quite long. You may even know that they were originally developed from the French day bed. In fact, the term appears in the late part of the 17th century as a couch for reclining. Pretty cool, huh? You also probably know that most sofas have sort of a rounded look and can usually accommodate three or more people. Having said all that, did you know that sofas actually refer to something else quite interesting? I’ll tell you about that briefly just for fun and then move on to my main point, which is a brief discussion of the types of modern sofas available today.

So here’s the bit of trivia that you just can’t survive without – sofas is also a word that refers to slave soldiers who would serve in the Mali empire. Originally, this word comes from what the sofas would do, which is take care of horses. In fact, the actual translation of sofa into the English language became “keeper of the horse”. Interestingly enough, sofas also served in other empires throughout Africa.

Well, enough of the trivia. The most typical types of sofas today are also called couches. These are also known as love seats, settees, lounges, davenports, or even futons. There are others as well, but all of these common variations amount to about the same thing, but may have different configurations and origins.

Years ago I owned a second hand furniture store. I remember how strange it seemed to me when I went to purchase, what I called a couch, from a guy who was probably in his 80′s. He kept referring to the two sofas he had as divans. I kept thinking, “whatever dude.” Anyway, regardless of what he called them, I knew they were sofas and paid accordingly. Maybe he thought divans would be worth more than if he called them sofas. His choice of words certainly sounds fancier, but didn’t offer the reality of what they were.

Today’s sofas stay pretty true to the traditional notion of a couch. They are long, are meant to be sat on, rather than laid on, have side arms and a back, and come in almost every possible variety of upholstery. Leather is, of course, a very popular covering material because of its durability and natural appeal. Another popular choice today is micro fiber. These are very soft and comfortable, don’t stick to your skin, and come in many colors. Another favorite upholstery is traditional tapestry fabric. This is my personal favorite because of the rich variety of patterns and colors available.

Sofas hold an important place in just about every home and apartment in America, and most parts of the world today. It is considered an essential, and most interior designs are built around them. Regardless of the upholstery, or what the history or variations are, sofas are a mainstay and aren’t going anywhere soon. They have certainly come a long way from the wooden variety used by ancient Chinese emperors. So call them what you want, sofas are here to stay.

A couple of weeks ago a nice couple, we will call them the Smith’s (the name has been changed to protect the innocent), came into our store looking to replace their tired and worn-out sofa and love seat. That was their plan anyway.

As they were greeted by one of our awesome customer service experts, Mrs. Smith told our representative their dilemma. Along with their challenge, they brought a drawn out plan of their room with some measurements. About that time I walked by and saw this room measurement they brought with them and I became very curious. Even though I’ve been in this business a long time, I can learn a thing or two from our customers.

Mrs. Smith was so frustrated with their current living room furniture it depressed her walking into the room anymore. They are planning a big party in a few weeks and they want seating flexibility without losing the number of seats they now have, but they don’t want the room to be cluttered. She also didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of their friends and family by their old worn-out furniture. All Mr. Smith wanted was a nice chair to come home from a long day at work and be able to relax without his back getting tired. He said, “I want a chair for me, just like Martin Crane in the Frasier show.” Mrs. Smith said, “But not the ratty and awful green color, something that will fit in with my style and color choices.” I knew we could help solve both of their desires.

To make a longer story a bit shorter, we ended up helping them retain the same number of seats in the living room, provide flexibility, and solve Mr. Smith’s desire to have Martin Crane experience, but with some awesome style. They ended up ordering a custom fabric Flexsteel sofa. This new one is similar size to their existing sofa, but they also added two unique chairs to replace the loveseat. All-in-all, they kept their same number of seating, and had the flexibility to change their room around on the fly. And, they got the fabric they wanted.

They were in-and-out of our store in about 45 minutes, including the fabric choice. Why? They simple floor plan and old furniture measurements made all the difference in the world on how we can help them out. Mrs. Smith also brought in a couple of color swatches she absolutely loved so the fabric choice was simple.

The moral of the story? If you have a great idea what you would like, a few room measurements and even a picture or two, we can have some fun solving your dilemma.

Be sure to bring in measurements, pictures, colors, and fabrics to your local furniture store to make your buying experience much more enjoyable.

Rattan outdoor furniture is unique because it is beautiful whether it is used in a home or in a garden. The furniture is very popular in homes that are located where the sun shines continuously. It can easily be transported from indoors to a patio or veranda because it is relatively light.

Rattan furniture adds an informal elegance to any location where it is used. Many people enjoy the cozy and information conversation areas that can easily be set up in a garden using Rattan furniture. When rattan furniture was at the height of it’s popularity it was made to be used in all rooms in a home. Many of these pieces can still be found and are used because of their versatility.

Most Rattan furniture is made from organic fibers or vinyl fibers. The fibers are woven to create the Rattan look of the furniture. Many people enjoy their furniture because of is is very easy to clean and holds the shape through it’s life. Vinyl Rattan furniture does not stain as easily as Rattan made from organic fibers.

The basic style of Rattan outdoor furniture has remained the same since it was first developed. This colonial style has deep seats, wide armrests, and high backs. It provides one with support and stability but is comfortable to sit in for long periods. The most common colors for Rattan furniture are white and neutral.

Most Rattan furniture comes with the standard cushions used on all outdoor furniture. However, most people choose to customize their cushions to reflect their home and garden. Some individuals use fabrics that have been used throughout their home to create a sense of continuity in their garden when they are entertaining. The cushions are firmer than those used in most furniture and are water, wear, and stain resistant.

The weave of organically made Rattan furniture is looser than that of furniture made from synthetic fibers. The circumference of the organic fibers varies and the looms which weave the Rattan are set for the largest circumference. Therefore when one sees Rattan furniture with a perfect weave, it is an indication that the fiber used to make the furniture is synthetic.

The organic fibers used to make the furniture are treated with several chemicals to make it resistant to staining and damage from the sun. However, if a hot liquid is spilled on Rattan that has not been painted, it may stain the fibers. Synthetic fibers, such as vinyl do not stain, but are not as resistant to sun damage as organic fibers.

When an individual uses Rattan as outdoor furniture they must take precautions when there is inclimate weather. Rattan very durable and sturdy, but does not hold up to inclimate and severe weather well. The furniture should be kept in a sheltered area and protected to extend its use.

Many types of outdoor furniture can be used for the dual function that Rattan is used. However, Rattan is the furniture that is most often selected because it looks like indoor furniture when placed in a home. The furniture is comfortable and allows one an informal area to relax. The furniture is easily moved to a patio or veranda when entertaining and one does not have to worry about damage occurring to the furniture.

Whilst it’s true that most people can decorate to an okay standard, a lot of the time people do not take into account just how time-consuming the whole process can be. For example, if there are any coverings on the walls or ceilings that need removal, they will need to be stripped using a steamer, water and sponge, wallpaper stripper or maybe even a combination of all three. More often than not the surfaces underneath the wall coverings will need quite a lot of preparation work to bring them up to a level that is suitable for painting or the application of more wall coverings. A professional painter and decorator will have stripped wall coverings off numerous areas though out his career and will be able to remove it in a fraction of the time it takes a novice. A professional painter and decorator will also know exactly how much preparation is needed to any particular space, to make sure the required finish.

Another benefit of using a professional painter and decorator is the finish that they can produce. As I have said before, most people can decorate to an ok standard but if you want the space to look as good as it possibly can, there is no substitute for a professional decorator. among other things a professional decorator will have all the tools required for pretty much every eventuality and will also have the knowledge and know how that’s required to produce a finish that not only looks great but can also produce a finish that will last.

Price can also be a major reason when deciding whether to enlist the services of a trained professional painter and decorator. Although it can seem tempting to do your own decorating work yourself, there are a few things that should be kept in mind when considering cost. For example, the paint that is available to buy at a DIY store, is more often than not of inferior quality to the materials a professional painter and decorator will use. A lot of the time a professional decorator will have a heavy discount with the paint manufactures which can bring the cost of using professional quality products nearer to that of the none trade paints available to the general public. It is also worth noting that if you do decide to do the your own decorating, you will have to purchase all the tools required to complete the job, where as a professional decorator should already have all the tools he needs, thus bringing the cost down even more.

What color sofa are people buying these days? We asked a designer from Home Reserve a leading online furniture site about the color trends. “We’re definitely seeing some new colors emerge,” says Scott Anspach, the stylist for the company. Orange has been huge for quite some time but now we’re seeing the popularity of light blue and dark brown fabrics rise to fever levels as well.”

“Not only are all three colors being widely used separately, but people are also using them in combination,” explains Anspach. “They may use a light blue fabric for the sofa itself and then accent with dark brown and orange pillows. It is a surprising blend, but does create a wonderful contemporary color scheme.”

He says that this color direction is no secret. “You can see them in all the shelter magazines and mail order catalogs. These blue, brown and orange colors are everywhere.” When we asked about the old standbys of beige and neutrals he explained: “Those earth tones are always a safe choice, but sales in those colors haven’t spiked, just kept a steady pace.”

What’s next? According to the research at Home Reserve, don’t be surprised to see pink emerge and for light pastels to return. You can visit their web site at http://www.homereserve.com

But it does not stop there they also go by other names because of their various styles such as a two-seater, a three-seater, a corner sofa, or perhaps a chaise lounge. A small version of a couch is sometimes called a loveseat, and, as you likely already know, there are sofas that fold out into beds, as well as futons – which are incredibly similar. There are even lounges or elaborate sofas with canopies for privacy or decoration.

Not many people collect antique sofas – or have sofas of older styles custom designed. I don’t think it is a bad idea, actually. If one were to decorate one’s home with an antique theme – with beautiful furniture, accessories and other decor, a lounge similar to the designs used in ancient Rome may be extremely beautiful. The distinct look of such a motif would be incredibly impressive to your guests, as well as an elegant environment for you and your family.

Couches or sofas are usually in the living room and / or other lounging areas of a given abode. If you are re-decorating your home, you may consider purchasing a new sofa. Sofas come in many styles and have been very popular throughout history. Now virtually everyone who resides in a home, apartment, etc. owns a sofa. Similarly to owning a television or radio, a sofa is one of the most essential pieces of priority furniture in a home – no matter what your income. If you look in the right place, you can find a great sofa at an inexpensive price, too!

Until the 20th century the sofa or couch was the name which referred to a long, upholstered seat – one end would be inclined enough for the person lounging on it to rest his or her head. In the late, middle ages the couch almost signified a daybed, and again, we do have our modern versions of the daybed, do we not? Window seats are also very beautiful, comfortable, luxurious and simple to install.

The daybed was the most popular and common kind of sofa in the 17th century. Especially into the 19th century the sofa, couch, or lounge bed was often thought of as a ladies lounging seat. However, reverting back further in history, men would often lounge as they ate or relaxed, and the women would stand or sit in chairs. As a matter of fact, it was not until the industrial era that sofas began to appear eventually in the homes of more and more common people. Soon it became so that virtually everyone, singles, couples, and / or whole families, would acquire at least one sofa for their home.

Sofas and psychologists have been associated with each other for some time. Although not all psychologists will instruct his or her client to lie down for sessions, the idea hinges on many Freudian psychoanalysis theories – therefore, is used often by doctors that adhere to such notions. Lying down as a therapist or psychoanalyst of some kind may be an important aspect of his or her method for interpreting dreams. It has been theorized that stream of consciousness is much easier for the client to voice when in a calming, physical position. It is the concept that the relaxation provided by reclining in such a way, as well as not looking the doctor or healer in the face – helps the individual “open up” or speak more freely: a logical idea.

Presently, even on situation comedies on American television, the couch is sometimes virtually serves as an additional lead – character in the show. For example: The Simpsons, a television show with which almost every American is familiar – even if only by reputation. I can not imagine a time in the future where the sofa or some version of it will be eliminated. Like all furniture that has been designed by people throughout the ages, the sofa is one that is revived, improved, designed by variations on a basic theme – and yet is timeless.

Rattan furniture is made by winding strips of rattan fibre over a frame and weaving them into a wicker pattern. The resulting furniture is both comfortable and durable. Rattan can be used for everything from armchairs and sofas to seats and backs for dining chairs. Rattan can even be used to make tables, usually with a glass top to give a level surface. Rattan furniture combines durability and comfort, and is used for both indoor and outdoor furniture. Wicker furniture can be made from either natural or synthetic materials – synthetic wicker is available under names such as Dura-Wicker and Viro, and is known by general terms such as polyrattan, poly rattan and all weather woven.

Natural Rattan

Natural rattan furniture is made from a tropical vine which is usually woven over a hardwood frame. The rattan fibre is woven while still flexible then hardens as it dries out, eventually becoming permanently set into its shape. Natural wicker furniture is usually made by skilled craftsmen close to the origin of the materials, then transported around the world for sale to the end user.

Natural rattan furniture isn’t weatherproof, so while you can bring it out into the garden on a fine day, it isn’t suitable for leaving outside. Regular outside use will take its toll on natural rattan furniture, as it tends to fade from exposure to sunlight. Natural wicker furniture can also be affected by moulds, especially in the nooks and crannies around the inner frame and underneath.

Synthetic Rattan

Synthetic rattan furniture has a very realistic natural appearance, even on close examination. Synthetic wicker furniture can be made from a variety of materials including polythene, polypropylene, resin or recycled plastic. Ready availability of materials means that synthetic wicker furniture can be made anywhere in the world, and the manufacturing processes are more automated which reduces costs to the end user as well as making it possible to produce a wider variety of designs.

Most synthetic rattan furniture is woven onto an aluminium frame rather than hardwood, making it more lightweight than similar natural rattan products. Other than routine cleaning, synthetic rattan furniture is maintenance free and doesn’t attract moulds. With UV resistance, and usually frost resistance, synthetic wicker furniture can be left outside come rain or shine. This makes synthetic rattan a great material for use outdoors, and it is now widely used for both modern and traditional garden furniture.

Certainly the largest piece of furniture in your home, and one that says the most about the overall design style of your home is your sofa. Some prefer the straight lines and minimal design of contemporary sofas. Others like sofas with lots of soft cushy pillows and floral patterns. Still others like sectional sofas.

Today sofas come in literally hundreds of styles with endless choices of upholstery. You can order your sofa mail order through companies like Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel. Most people will tell you that after style the most important thing they look for in a sofa is comfort. Choosing the right style of sofa to enhance your home is key. There are many different styles of sofa to choose from, but most manufacturers break them down into two distinct styles, traditional and contemporary. For instance, more traditional styles of sofa would include barrel back, English arm, tufted back, tight back and tuxedo.

However, depending on fabric choices a Tuxedo sofa could be used in a contemporary home. Contemporary styles include sock arm, channel back and sectional. Some sofas come with pillows attached to the sofa, some come with loose pillows that you can free style any way you choose. Another thing that gives your sofa a definite style is fabric choice. When you visit most furniture stores you’ll have the ability to first choose the style sofa you want and then pick your choice of fabric. Some manufacturers have 30 or more different fabrics you can choose from when you are designing a sofa, with the only limit being how much money you want to spend. The choice of fabric can add thousands of dollars to the final cost of a sofa. Bold bright colors and geometric designs would be used on contemporary sofas and softer muted colors and prints would be used on traditional sofas.

Leather sofas are very popular. With routine care leather is a very durable upholstery choice on a sofa. You’ll want to keep a leather clean and moisturized.

Another sofa option you will want to consider is whether you want a sofa bed, also known as a sleeper sofa, or a reclining sofa or a convertible sofa. Obviously a sleeper sofa or convertible sofa can come in very handy as an extra bedroom for someone who may live in an apartment or have a smaller home who still wants to be able to accommodate guests overnight.

As with any major purchase, shop around. Look around online at different sofa selections so that you can get an idea of what you want before you visit store after store after store. If you see a sofa doing an online search you should be able to find a store that sells that particular brand.

Another great sofa option you may want to consider is a reclining sofa. It really is the best of both worlds. Sofas that are reclining sofas generally have two seats that recline, for maximum comfort. You can get a reclining sofa in most styles, contemporary and traditional.

The most important thing is that our sofa is comfortable for you. Sit in it, recline back if it’s a recliner, lie down across it, after all, that’s where you’ll be napping, isn’t it?

You may already know that all sofas are not created equally and if you are in the market to make a purchase, you will undoubtedly wanted to explore different styles and shape of sofa to find the best fit for your tastes and location. It does not matter so much what the room may be, choosing the right sofa involves taking the time to explore the various styles and shapes of sofa on the market and to have at least a general understanding of these various types before making a purchasing choice. Style and shape are similar but not the same when it comes to a sofa.

The most traditional style of sofa is that which has a back, legs or skirt. This is the foundation upon which many different styles and shapes of sofa are designed and built. An English-style sofa features slightly rounded arms, legs on castors and a tight seat that is slightly outset from the arms. This style of sofa is often referred as a Club sofa. The Tuxedo sofa has a traditional flare with arms that rise to the same height as the back. Often rounded pillows are placed on both ends of this type of sofa because the high arms are not comfortable for resting.

A Camelback sofa takes its place among the traditional styles and derives its name from the serpentine back that is situated behind arms that are high and rolled. Various bottoms complete Camelback, these ranging from stretchers and exposed legs to neat skirting beneath a tight, cushioned seat usually in three pieces. The Knole sofa hails its design from 17th century English style. With straight angled arms the same height as the back, the difference between the Tuxedo and Knole is that the arms are adjustable and stand straight or open out.

A Cabriole sofa has arms that offer a continuous contoured line from one side to the other. Cabriole sofas are often trimmed with wood and rest on visible legs. A Lawson sofa appeals to those who like square arms and a square design for the overall look of a sofa. Some Lawson sofa designs are outfitted with rolled arms. The Chesterfield is most commonly used in libraries and posh executive offices but can adorn any room with its tufted seat and rolled arms. Sectional and midcentury modern sofas sit on squared legs and have clean cut lines to compliment any décor.
