During the winter months, our homes are a place for relaxation, recharging, and intimate moments. That's why it's especially important that the central pieces of furniture in the living room – the sofa and armchair – are comfortable, inviting, and functional. The following considerations will help you choose the perfect pieces for the cold season.
Comfort above all else
Soft padding: Choose sofas and armchairs with thick, soft padding. Memory foam or extra-padded seats can be especially comfortable.
Spacious design: You can comfortably stretch out on a sofa or armchair with a mug of hot tea.
Winter materials and fabrics
Warm, textured materials: Choose velvet, plush, or thick fabric upholstery that create a warm feeling and make the space feel more homely.
Cover that traps heat: Look for a cover that is warm to the touch, such as cotton, wool, or synthetic fabric blends.
Easy-to-clean materials: Blankets and pillows are more common in the cold months, so choose furniture with covers that are easy to clean.
Colors and design
Winter color palette: Earthy colors and warm tones, such as mustard yellow, burgundy, or navy blue, are particularly in harmony with the winter mood.
Neutral shades: If you prefer versatility, choose pieces in beige, gray, or light brown that you can easily jazz up with seasonal pillows and blankets.
Functionality
Sofas with compartments: Sofas and armchairs with storage space are perfect for hiding blankets, pillows or other winter accessories.
Sofa bed: An excellent choice if you are hosting guests during the cold months.
Rocking chair or reclining armchair: If you like comfortable relaxation, choose an armchair with a reclining backrest or a rocking function.
Sofa and armchair accessories
Blankets and throws: Choose a matching, soft wool or faux fur blanket.
Decorative pillows: Pillows of different sizes and textures make your sofa and armchair more comfortable and stylish.
Footstool: A comfortable footstool next to the armchair comes in handy on winter evenings.
Size and layout
Consider space size: Choose a compact sofa or corner sofa for a small living room, while a leather three-seater sofa can look good in larger spaces.
Winter arrangement: Place the sofa and armchair near the fireplace or a warm rug for an even cozier effect.
By choosing the right sofa and armchair, your home can become an island of tranquility even during the winter months!
