Determine How It Will Be Used
If it is a family room sofa that you’ll be using for lounging, it’s likely you’ll want a deeper sofa. Standard sofa depth ranges anywhere from 36 to 38 inches. If you anticipate using the sofa for curling up and really sinking in, or if a family member is particularly tall, opt for a deeper version, such as one of Restoration Hardware’s Luxe depths that are 41 inches instead.
If the sofa will be used as part of a more occasional sitting area that won’t necessarily be used as your main lounging area, consider a smaller sofa like this 2-seater from Crate & Barrel, which you can pair with a few occasional chairs and an ottoman to create a seating area conducive for conversation where people can sit across from one another rather than side by side on a large couch.
Also consider the logistics of getting the new piece into your space. Be sure that your new purchase is physically able to fit through your home’s doorways, especially if you have an older home. Measure twice to be safe and avoid a big headache! Check with your retailer for delivery and clearance specifications also, as it may have a quick reference tool such as Restoration Hardware’s Delivery Brochure.
