Especially convenient for long-term recreation and home theaters advertisers are sofas and a flexible sofas.

Set in a new light
A standard set of upholstered furniture usually includes a triple sofa and two chairs. However, there are currently other options for organizing a recreation area. Kits offered by manufacturers, as a rule, include a different number of furniture items in various combinations. Thus, as a supplement to the sofa, you can buy so many chairs as you need, or even refuse them. An almost mandatory "application" to sofas and chairs were puffs, which are convenient to put tired legs. These furniture items also provide additional seats; They are used as an improvised table for a tray with cocktails. Pufas are able to serve as bright colors accents in the interior. At the same time, they are part of a modular design or completely autonomous. The "islet" comfort can also be created using only chairs or sofas in any quantity (options for this layout are described in the "IID", 2010, N 2, p. 72-83). This is used, in particular, compact two and three-bed sofas, and constructs consisting, for example, from ten independent elements.The innovation of the nuance: in the same room there can be organically adjacent to the objects of upholstered furniture of various styles, such as minimalist sofas, designers and the greater deep Voltaire chairs with a high back, especially comfortable by the fireplace. Now the English tradition is very popular to install two or even three different sofas in the living room, if the place allows.
Practical advice
The choice of objects of upholstered furniture depends not only on the living room area, but also from the family composition, as well as from the intended number of guests. If you often arrange receptions, collect a set that will help you place all those who come with comfort. In one case, if your guests sometimes stay overnight, it is desirable to purchase at least one sofa equipped with a transformation mechanism. Finally, if you have a small family and all of its members prefer a secluded lifestyle, you can do the minimum items, for example, two comfortable advertisers (more details about them, see "IVD", 2011, N 5, p. 82-90).
Multidious modules
According to constructive features, two types of sofas are isolated - stationary and modular. Clerv include models whose composition cannot be changed during operation. They are designed for a certain amount of seats, usually small (four maximum). Modern sets of European manufacturers most often consist not from individual items, but from modules (blocks), which is quite convenient. The modular principle allows not only to compose extended sofas (for five seats and more), but also change their configuration. The number of modules often reaches several tens. This is a real designer for creativity. The blocks are very diverse in their appearance (they are a sofa, chair, couch, pouf, chaise lounge IDR) and sizes. For example, at one end of the composition, low and deep puffs can be arranged, and on the other - high and wide elements with a transformed back and extended footrest.
Corner modular sofa - universal object of furnishing of any space, including typical apartments
As for the design, the modular sofas with rigid fastening and transformable are distinguished. For the book, the blocks delivered to the buyer are firmly connected to each other with a special tool. The composition of the modular sofa with hard fastening is quite difficult. Transformable designs The user will be able to easily comply with their wishes, and part of the elements can be used autonomously.

By configuration, sofas are straight, angular and "island".Store straight. The sofas elongated in one line can be stationary or to be part of the modular system. It is to direct stationary models (with a sleeping place or without it), most compact two and three-bed sofas include, from which you can comply with the recreation area in any room. Usually, the direct sofa put the wall. The situation of this object of furniture, as well as seats, the recreation area is often separated, for example, from the kitchen-dining room in the studio space.
Practical advice
Choose a sofa equally comfortable for all family members, not easy. Output one: Search for a compromise solution. It is not bad to purchase a sofa with a seat advanced seat (this will help increase its depth) and the transformed back. Pull legs, as well as liabry or half a litter will allow the couch module.

The best holiday is on the islands. Soft groups collected from modules in the form of "islands" are suitable for spacious living rooms and studios-studios. Any sofa that can be taken into the center of the room is considered the "island". The rear of such a sofa is the same material as the facial. Often, a soft group is combined in the form of several "islands" - a peculiar "archipelago" is obtained. Unbend "island" sofas transformed back.
Practical advice
The skin does not like direct sunlight and strong temperature drops - it burns faster in the light, and it loses its elasticity from heat. It is not recommended to place a leather sofa near the heating devices. Especially sensitive leather treated with vegetable extracts. Mudting impregnations will allow you to practically forget about the care: it is enough to wipe the sofa with a special tool once every six months or a year, and then wipe dry. You can not use soap and powder cleaning. The skin impregnated with natural compositions is very "delicate" and is afraid of coffee, red wine and fruit juice.Trendy Visig
Nothing decorates the interior like upholstered furniture, covered with skin. This is one of the most beautiful, practical and environmentally friendly materials. Before the skin becomes the upholstery, it passes a special processing - a chemical method with a chemical method using chromium compounds or plant extracts. The second type of tweaking, environmentally friendly and absolutely safe for humans, use the largest manufacturers, such as Bruhl Sippold (Germany), De Sedee (Switzerland). Please note that the smooth smooth surface of the leather sofa is not a quality indicator. It should be soft, rough and nice warm to the touch. High-quality leather upholstery are also distinguished by even double seams.
According to modern trends, the living room interior will win if you collect a set of two or three collections with different upholstery. Then every subject will have its own "face"
A few words about color: Now bright skin is a trend. But still, designers more often prefer the environmental theme, and therefore furniture of calm natural tones - gray, beige, brown. Always in fashion white sofas. Upholstered furniture of restrained noble colors will fit into any interior and will not lose their attractiveness for many years. A common calm color gamut can always be "diluted" with bright details and accessories. District upholstery wider decorative features. All matter is presented in a rich color scheme. Sofas and chairs in a monophonic hurt come out of fashion. Manufacturers increasingly combine different textures and shades of textiles when designing one piece of furniture. This is especially characteristic of modular systems. Usually in the cabin offer several types of tissues of different price categories. The more expensive material, the higher its quality and wear resistance. The same model, "dressed" in various fabric, looks and stands unequal (sometimes this difference is very significant). Furniture upholstery materials differ in thickness, manufacturing technology and properties. They can be conditionally divided into woven and non-woven. It and others are quite popular and presented in the range of all furniture salons. Kkany includes Jacquard, tapestry, velor, velvet, shenill, microfiber; To nonwoven - Flock (finely chopped pile, applied to a dense textile basis, which is covered with adhesive composition), Alpaca, ECELLUR IDR.

The concept of comfort individually
The standard height of most models is approximately 42cm from the floor. It is believed that the firm cushion filler, the longer it will last. But for fans of sofas softening to the PPU layer (polyurethane foam) add gasket from synthetic wool (Dacron) or elite duck feather or fluff. True, after seating on down pillows, the fabric is ground. If it confuses, you can choose a model in which the filler is located in individual envelopes. Such seats quickly restore the original form.
Chairs and puffs are a logical continuation of the sofa. Lighter and mobile, they, as a rule, are included in the collection, but sometimes there are separate furniture items - for example, a Voltaire chair, a chaise lounge chair
The high back is usually ends at the level of the nape or slightly higher. Soft sofas with a high back and depth of 60cm ensure the correct position of the back. The deeper models (from 70cm) in the presence of an equally high back will require an additional pillow under the lower back. Low back ends at approximately at the waist level. The depth of such models reaches 100-125cm. This ensures the position of "midstage".
