Just remember one thing, functionality. When you have pets, you have to consider the right material of your sofa. As you know, we love dogs, so we love to have something that easy to clean. As simple as that. Our best choice is leather that is mostly resistant to odor and it doesn’t attract pet hair. Just make sure you will get a sofa that meet your need and lifestyle.
4. Dimension of sofa
Read carefully the dimension and measure up your space. Our top priority when choosing a sofa is seat depth because comfort is different for everyone, in our experience the sofa's seat depth will give us a comfort sofa. How do you know what depth is right for you? Try the sofa. Seat for longer time until you feel relax. Your ideal seat depth comes down to your height and how you’ll be using your sofa. For casual use, we love to have seat depth above 55 cm - 60 cm (21 inch - 24 inch).
Well, we hope this guide will help you finding the right sofa. Happy decorate your living or family room!
