How to Choose the Perfect Couch
Nov 13 2012
If there were a contest or poll about favorite places to hang out at home, the couch or sofa would probably win one of the top spots. It’s where “couch potatoes” are born after all. Whether it’s curling up with a good book or watching marathons of our favorite TV shows, the couch is where we spend most of our time during day offs or even after work. To maximize this experience, here is a helpful guide to choosing the perfect couch.
What Type Are You?

For those with old-fashioned tastes and wanting a more romantic feel, they can opt for a fainting couch. You can choose from a partial-backed or backless variant. Another Victorian themed couch is the canapé, which is more commonly known as a settee. This elegant sofa is characterized by intricate or elaborate designs carved on the wood and has upholstered seats.

Price and Durability
If you plan to put your couch in your own room, you can choose almost any type you want. Budget, however, can put a damper on your choices. And if you figure in the pet and the kid factors, you have to think not only about comfort but also durability. It would be ideal to get a reasonably priced couch that will last through the wear and tear of family life. So expensive leather or designer couches, are definitely out of the running.
Before you purchase your “perfect” couch, go over the factors listed above to determine the best kind you need for your home.
