Sit back and relax
When investing in a sofa, it’s essential to find a dream piece that’s comfortable, stylish and perfectly suited to its space. BoConcept tells us how to find the right fit and reveals some of its most popular designs.
When wondering where to begin in choosing a new sofa, evaluating your old model will add context and shed light on those fuzzy details.
If the overall length of your sofa is acceptable, but its wide armrests steal too much seating space, then look for a longer design or opt for narrower armrests. If your sofa’s position is great for watching TV but closes off contact with the rest of your living area, try an open-end for more ways to sit and interact.
Once you’ve decided on a sofa, try the armrests and check your seating posture. If you are tall, you should consider designs with longer seat depths: the length from the back cushion to the front of the seat.
BoConcept’s modular Carmo sofa is a flexible contemporary classic. With its array of modules, it can be configured (and reconfigured) to match any space, and the soft, deep seat is made for comfort. The thin black legs give the design the illusion of levitation, creating a sense of space in any room. The open end is ideal for integrated open plan living.
If superior back and neck support are on your list, then the brand-new Berne sofa offers all-day comfort with a high, upright back and fixed deep seats crafted on a wooden frame with well-defined shapes and soft curves. The Berne is available in several modules allowing you to create your perfectly sized comfort zone.
If you’re looking for a statement piece in an open plan space, then the clean, minimal lines and on-trend organic shapes of the Bergamo sofa might work for you. The Bergamo has a timeless design and a welcoming open-ended chaise. All BoConcept’s sofas feature high-quality, high-density foam mixed with down for extra comfort.
With modern fabric treatments and high-performance blends, the practicality gap between fabric and leather has narrowed. That said, if you have pets and very young children, leather is the better choice, as it is still more durable and easier to clean on an everyday basis. If vibrant colour is high on your list, then fabric will be your best option. Matte fabrics add a contemporary feel to your space. Textural velvet and bouclé are chic, and leather brings with it an extra touch of luxury.
The team at the BoConcept showroom on Papanui Road invite you to take a seat and relax on any prospective sofa to really feel if it’s the right fit for you. You can also browse over one hundred large fabric and leather swatches in store.
