The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Sofa: Comfort, Style, and Everything In Between at Oxford Furniture

Finding the perfect sofa is an exciting step in creating a comfortable and inviting living space. Here at Oxford Furniture, we want to help you find the sofa that perfectly complements your home and lifestyle. This guide will walk you through everything you need to consider before making your purchase.

Finding Your Perfect Fit

Before you dive into styles and fabrics, consider the space where your new sofa will live. Measure the area meticulously, accounting for traffic flow and other furniture. You don't want your new centerpiece to overwhelm the room or block doorways.


Consider Your Needs

  • Lifestyle: Do you have pets or children? Opt for durable, easy-to-clean upholstery like performance fabrics or leather. If movie nights are a must, a plush sectional might be perfect for lounging.


  • Seating Needs: How many people do you need to seat comfortably? Do you prefer a deep seat** for sprawling out or a more upright posture for conversation?


Comfort is King (or Queen)

Spend some time sitting on different sofas. Consider the back height, cushion firmness, and armrest style. Will you be using this sofa for relaxing or entertaining? Choose a comfort level that suits how you'll be using it most.


Style Speaks Volumes

  • Classic:  Timeless Chesterfield styles or roll-arm sofas are always elegant choices.
  • Modern:  Clean lines, sleek profiles, and statement pieces will add a contemporary touch.
  • Sectional: Perfect for larger living spaces or creating conversation areas.
  • Recliners: Ultimate relaxation for movie nights or kicking back after a long day.


Don't Forget the Details

The little things matter! Consider the sofa's leg style, cushion options, and throw pillows to personalize your space.
