“It is logical to assume that small sofas are in demand in the interior of cramped rooms, but this is not entirely true”
Sofas of any kind can appear in the home interior:
1. Standard.
2. Corner.
3. Canape.
4. Sofa.
5. Folding structures of various classes.
What kind of configuration the sofa should have in your case, the proportions of the room will tell you. If guests often stay with you until late and stay overnight, then it is more practical to stop at transforming models. They are also ideal for space-limited spaces.

It is logical to assume that small sofas are in demand in the interior of cramped rooms, but this is not entirely true. They may well become a decoration for more than a spacious room, if they are introduced into the atmosphere as a pair. Making spectacular furniture with them is not easy, but it’s worth breaking your head over the options for arranging furniture, because in the end you can get a practical and very functional interior. The most common combination technique is the parallel placement of mini-sofas, separated by a coffee table.

When choosing the type of sofa for your room, keep the ratio of overall proportions. Furniture should not be lost in space (however, as well as clutter it up), and the upholstery should not stand out from the general color scheme of the interior.

Sofas in the interior of the kitchen
Somehow it so happened that the kitchens in our homes serve not only the purposes of cooking. Gatherings with friends are very comfortable here, and households are not averse to relaxing on it after a hectic day.So it turns out that the kitchen part-time serves as a living room or a relaxation area, which means that it needs to be furnished taking into account the newly acquired responsibilities. Soviet-built apartments do not indulge in space, but even in such modest kitchens it is quite possible to organize a cozy atmosphere using sofas. Agree, it is unlikely that you will be able to relax while sitting on a hard chair, so feel free to fill the space with poufs, armchairs and baby sofas.

Upholstery attention
Since the kitchen space is difficult in terms of microclimate and constantly needs to be cleaned, especially if you are a fan of pampering your family with goodies, then upholstered furniture in it should appear with specific upholstery, ready to withstand serious cleaning. Ideally, the upholstery material should be leather. If leather sofas in the kitchen interior are too expensive for you, then you can purchase models with leatherette or fabric covering, but in this case they will need to be covered with covers or decorative capes made of fabric that does not absorb moisture well. Usually it is a strong synthetic. Textile design should be in harmony with the rest of the decor.

How to choose a seat
Traditionally, the sofa is sent to the wall opposite the headset and this is done mainly because the free space of the surface needs to be filled with something. To complete the composition, a dining table is placed in front of it, and panels and other decorative elements are placed above it. In small rooms, the sofa, together with the dining group, can be perfectly located near the window, especially since this space usually remains free.

Instead of chairs, it is permissible to use ottomans with upholstery identical to the sofa. If you prefer stools - cover them with covers and overlays, of course, from the same material as the cover of the soft corner.

The presence of malfunctions is a reason to refuse a purchase.

Sofa and living room interior style

No, of course, using contrasts, you can make this element of the decor accent, but for this it is necessary that the interior is made in neutral colors.
