Interior design is a highly sought after topic on the internet, there are forums, blogs, articles, and threads addressed to this topic. Within these resources, there are network communities such as Reddit and Quora that are the most used platforms when someone has more "specific" questions.

As the answers are sometimes lost or a bit difficult to find, today we have compiled some of the questions related to modern sofas that people often ask before, while, and after owning a sofa.

Let’s get started!

What should I look for before buying the best modern sectional sofa?

We have taken this question from Quora, and the answer remains in three factors: size, materials, and design.

Size: We have placed these factors first because when acquiring your modern sofa is very important for you to know if the size of it will fit the available space you have set for it. Try to avoid any bad purchase and get the dimensions of the sofa before ordering it.

Materials: This is another important factor because it will determine the life of your sofa. By choosing high-quality materials, you will have a better chance of enjoying your modern sofa for a long period of time. Most people always look for aniline or full-grain leather and dense foam in their cushions.

Design: This defines the functionality of the sofa. A great example of a functional design can be the Florence Knoll sofa, it has well-defined lines, strong support, and a very open structure which invites you to relax and enjoy its luxurious vibe.

Which is more modern and classy, leather or fabric sofas?

This is also a question taken from Quora. To answer this question, we've read the reviews and searched through other sources, we found that most people prefer leather when it comes to a selection of modern sofas. Why? They said that leather is a classic, it is more functional because it is easier to clean and maintain, it does not smell when making exotic foods, and it can match almost any style of decoration.

Where to find a nice modern sofa?
