The decoration of the house is a complex subject which many of us are passionate about, since it is basically about including the right furniture and accessories that go hand in hand with our needs. This is often seen as an arduous but beautiful task that many times homeowners want to take the risk and organize on their own.

Here at Manhattan Home Design we love to be part of the decorative processes of your environments, so this is why we have decided to create a series of tips extracted from interior design experts and bloggers, which will help you in the process of acquiring the elements that you will include inside your house. In case you have a new space or you want to decorate with a modern and optimal style, this blog is definitely for you!

We would like to mention that we have distributed the blog in different sections. We will start with the tips to take into account before purchasing a modern sofa, then with certain elements that are considered essential in any home. Let 's start!

Sofas are the central pieces of the room, so pay close attention when selecting them. The main consideration to take are the following:

  • Check the material. Whether you are buying it in physical stores or online, there is always a way to know your upholstery. Typically, full grain leathers or aniline leather sofas like the Florence Knoll sofa are very durable.
  • Select a strong frame. Usually the frames are made of wood or metal, if this is the case, check what metal or wood they use. Taking the example of the Florence Knoll sofa above, it uses a stainless steel frame, which means you won't have to worry about rusting the material. In case you like the metallic look, try selecting the stainless steel ones.
  • Choose a high-quality filler if possible. Currently on the market, the ones leading it are high-density foams and polystyrene. So try to find the filler type of your potential option before purchasing.
  • Know its dimensions and then establish appropriate measurements for that space. This is one of the most important tips to avoid acquiring a very large or very small modern sofa.
  • Choose your color palette and set a prefered color for the sofa.
  • In case you want a colorful sofa such as green, pink or blue, it is recommendable that you choose a fabric sofa since they usually offer more options when it comes to colors.

Our final and general suggestion we would like to share with you is one from Joanna Thornhill which is a freelance interiors stylist, writer & author.

“Don’t rush into decorating or buying furniture - try living in the space for at least a week so you can see how you use different areas and at what times of day, how the light falls and how you find yourself moving around it”.
