• Light purple shades also look very interesting. They can be warmer, lilac, or colder, violet. They can be used in the interior to create a perspective effect and visually expand the room: for this, choose a sofa in warm colors if it is located near the entrance to the room. And if you plan to place the sofa in the far corner, you should select cold shades.

Upholstered furniture should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable. First of all, you should evaluate the dimensions of your room, as well as figure out what you want to use the sofa for: sleep on it, relax alone or get together in a large company.

The types of such models are very diverse. First of all, you need to understand whether you need a straight or angular version. The corner sofa is more suitable for spacious rooms and large families. If you are limited in space, it is better to choose a small, straight option - for maximum space saving, you can simply move it to one of the corners of your room.

If you are going to sleep on the couch, sofa bed or wide couch... On such models, you can easily sleep without laying them out. These are good options for small spaces, for example, such a sofa can be conveniently placed in a studio apartment or in a children's room.

If you have enough space, you can consider folding or sliding sofa. This is a great option if you need a sofa for guests during the day and a full bed at night. Such models are also very diverse. You need to focus on which option will be more convenient for everyday use. Consider the following two models:

• a sofa that folds out forward is convenient if the passage in the room is wide enough and there are no tables or cabinets in front of the sofa;
• a sofa that folds out to the back is less common, it is popular in spacious rooms, if there is free space behind the sofa.

The transformation mechanism of the sofa is also very important.In fact, there are two options: when the sofa folds out into two halves, or when one half slides out, and you can put the back of the sofa in the vacant space. The first option is called the model "Eurobook" or simply "book".

Such a sofa has one support, and in relation to it, in the unfolded state, the weight of the two halves of the sofa is evenly distributed. This is a practical and comfortable model, but sometimes it can take some effort to unfold such a sofa. It is very important to choose high-quality models so that the mechanism is comfortable and not too tight.

The second option is retractable models with small wheels. It is much easier to lay out such a sofa, but it will not fit under every floor covering, for example, the wheels can severely scratch the parquet.

The embroidered pictures on the sofa will be durable, pleasant to the touch and luxurious in appearance, the main thing is to choose a high-quality model.

• Leather Is also a popular upholstery option for upholstered furniture. However, purple leather must be handled with care: if the design is not laconic enough, this decision can look vulgar.
