Whats Hot and Whats Not in the Sofa Set Scenario

• Times come and go, trends come and go, but the
  sofa set is here to stay.
• Some sofa designs are evergreen and beat the test
  of time, while some of them come and go to suit a
  generations whims and fancies.
• What makes a sofa set trend? Its material (wood,
  fabric, metal), its size, its design, there are
  just many logical reasons, and then there is
  always the enigmatic X factor.

• Here are some of the top designs and combinations
  of sofa sets that are trending.
• While some of them are here to stay, others are
  new arrivals.

The Standard 311 Sofa Set

• This is the evergreen sofa set package that has
  graced the living room of many a family for more
  than a few generations. The make and material of
  the sofa and the chairs may have changed from
  metal to wood to metal to wood and the
  upholstery may have changed from velvet to cotton
  to leather and back to cotton the stuffing has
  changes from hay to fine cotton to foam, but the
  design here to stay. Maybe its popularity has
  something to do with the close sense it gives
  with the 3 seaters flanked with the single
  chairs. A true family feeling.
• Of course, with the changing times, there have
  been cases where one of the members of this
  package has been replaced with or sufficed with a
  loveseat.

The Sectional or Modular Sofa

• A more conjoined version of the 311 sofa set,
  these sets have more ingredients to it, such as
  the chaise lounge and a stool.
• The popularity of the sectional or modular sofas
  is due to ease of arrangement and configuration,
  although the more popular configurations are
  L-shaped and U-shaped.
• The sectional sofa is more popular in cities and
  areas where the rooms are large, which is the
  right way to go using a sectional sofa in a
  small room makes the room seem even smaller and
  cluttered, and it leaves no space to place any
  more furniture.
• Then again, there are smaller sectional sofas
  available that can be used, if the design
  permits. So a smaller sectional sofa means using
  a loveseat instead of a 3-seater couch, and small
  left-arm or right-arm couch.
• Newer designs also include rounded designs to
  make for a TV placed in the corner of the room. A
  rounded sectional sofa softens the edges of the
  sofa giving it a cosier look.

L-shaped Sofa Set

• As opposed to the sectional sofa which has
  rearrangeable elements, the L-shaped sofa is
  built in the L-shaped and comes in various frames
  and upholstery right from a metal frame to a
  nice sold wooden frames.
• There are fabric cushioned sofas and
  leather-sofas. The main advantage of the L-shaped
  sofa set is that the large scope for seating it
  provides. Not to mention the scope for lounging
  on the L-leg of the sofa set.
• Choose the right L-shaped sofa, and you will be
  able to fill your living room just right, without
  making it look cluttered.

Sofa Beds

• Perfect for smaller apartments, 1 BHKs or studio
  apartments, the sofa bed fits right in the budget
  by saving money for the bed.
• Sofa by day and bed by night (or day too). The
  sofa bed comes in multiple configurations, from
  the years old pull-out to the latest futon and
  even bunk bed configuration.
• You want some more features in your sofa bed? You
  got it! You can also opt for sofa cum beds that
  come with inner storage options. So now you can
  store some of your linen or papers in the storage
  area of the sofa bed.

Recliner Sofa Sets

• A three seater couch that doubles up as a double
  recliner? What more do you want when you are just
  you and a roommate. Then your home become the
  best place to hang out, then who cares if that
  hanging around is for watching tv or just lazing
  around with a book and a cup of hot chocolate (or
  chilled lemonade, choose your poison).
• If a recliner sofa doesnt make you and your
  roommate feel like Joey and Chandler, then
  nothing will.
• Of course the recliner sofa set is not restricted
  to a bachelor pad, you can bring this piece of
  guilty pleasure in your bedroom and lounge around
  in it, if the space permits.

Assembled Sofa Sets

• Last but not the least, considering the gamut of
  choices available in the sofa market, there is
  always a scope to assemble your own sofa sets,
  from the available pieces of sofas and chairs.
• You know your room, you know your need, you
  decide the sofa. Could things be more favourable
  for the home decorator?!
• But then again this is a rising concept and will
  take some time to catch the customer fancy.

• Wow, thats a varying trend, if you see.
• As a prospective homemaker, a customer is
  completely spoilt for choice.
• But, let us dictate the choice and not get lost
  in it. Buying a sofa practically a one-time
  decision, and a chance to repeat it comes only
  once in a decade or two.
• So dont just follow a trend because it is a
  trend, go for it only if it suits your home.
