We know that a sofa or suite for your lounge is a major purchase.  There’s the financial element but also the fact that your new suite will go into you lounge – at the heart of the home.  It will be the most dominant piece of furniture in your primary living space – where you relax, spend your Saturday evenings and entertain guests. 

 

Getting it wrong is not an option!  That’s why the team at Sharaks are friendly, knowledgeable and available to give you any advice you need throughout the buying process.

 

Here are 3 of our best tips – chosen by the customer service team, to help you select the best sofa to fit your needs.

 

 

The sofa you choose must fit in with your existing décor.  No matter how much you may like a particular design – if it doesn’t match the features of your room – it will never look right.  Consider the features of the room itself including the type of fireplace, the ceilings and doors as well as your existing furniture and colour schemes.

 

 

Don’t go it alone, involve friends and family in your purchase.  They know you best and their input will be valuable throughout the buying process.  They may suggest things that you’d never even considered and will be on hand to give honest opinions on your best picks.  They’ll also stop you acting in haste.

 

 

The most common mistake people make when purchasing a new sofa is getting the wrong size.  Either they miscalculate the available space or fail to allow room to recline or for foot rests.  Some simply fall in love with a sofa, sense goes out the window; and then they’re disappointed when it arrives as it looks wrong in the space allocated for it.
