Space.

« Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home »
– French proverb.

Before browsing the many sofa models available, be sure to evaluate the available space you have first. Another helpful tip is to mark your preferred sofa placement on the ground and note the dimensions to better refine your search.

Think as well about the number of guests you hope to accommodate, and the sofa shape that will best fit your layout.

A corner sofa, a standard sofa, a sofa bed and an armchair style all have very different dimensions ...

For a small space…

In a small space, a two-seater sofa is ideal — ideally without armrests, to reduce the amount of space it occupies, and, if necessary, allow for a third person to sit. Equipped with removable backrests, this small sofa features a silhouette that can be positioned anywhere in the room to optimize the space. It also transforms into a day bed.
