How to Choose the Right Sofa Size

  1. Measure your space
    Before purchasing a sofa, accurately measure the length, width, and height of your living room, and allow at least 60–80 cm of clearance for walkways. Also take into account doors, windows, columns, and other elements that may affect sofa placement.
  2. Consider proportion
    The sofa size should be in proportion to the overall living room. A sofa that is too large will make the space feel cramped, while one that is too small may look insubstantial.
  3. Try it in person
    A well-sized sofa should also be comfortable. It is recommended to try it in person to see if the seat depth, seat height, and back support suit your personal preferences.
  4. Coordinate with other furniture
    Sofas are usually used together with coffee tables, TV stands, and other furniture. It is advisable to keep a distance of 30–45 cm between the coffee table and the sofa for convenient use.
  5. Refer to brand standards
    Major furniture brands usually offer sofas in standard sizes, and many also provide customization services. Consumers can refer to the size charts on brand websites or in showrooms.
