Before you begin browsing for the perfect sofa, it’s important to understand why it’s the most important piece of furniture in your living room. The sofa sets the tone for the entire room. It’s often the first thing guests notice when they enter your space, and it's where you'll spend a lot of time relaxing, reading, or socializing. Choosing a sofa from Abhi & Oak means you’re opting for both aesthetics and comfort, ensuring your living room is a space you’ll love for years to come.

1.2. Understanding the Different Types of Sofas
Choosing the right sofa involves understanding the different types available. Each type serves a unique purpose, and the right one for you depends on the size of your space, the number of people in your household, and your personal preferences.

1.3. Size and Shape Considerations
The size of your sofa plays a crucial role in the design and feel of your room. You want a sofa that fits well within your space while allowing for comfortable movement and seating. A sofa that’s too large for the room can make the space feel cramped, while one that’s too small may look out of place. When purchasing a sofa from Abhi & Oak, take precise measurements of your room and consider the following:
-
Room Layout: If you have an open floor plan, a large sectional sofa might work best, while a loveseat or a two-seater may be more fitting for a cozy room.
-
Space for Movement: Ensure there’s enough space around the sofa for easy movement. At Abhi & Oak, we have designed sofas in various sizes, ensuring that no matter the dimensions of your room, you’ll find a piece that fits.
1.4. Material Selection: Leather, Velvet, and More

-
Leather: Known for its luxurious appearance and easy maintenance, leather sofas from Abhi & Oak are both elegant and durable. They are easy to clean and perfect for those who want a sophisticated look in their living room.

Velvet: If you want something plush and indulgent, velvet is a great choice. Velvet sofas provide a soft touch and a luxurious look, making them perfect for living rooms where comfort and style are equally important.
-
Cotton and Linen: These fabrics are breathable, soft, and lightweight, making them ideal for a more casual, laid-back feel. They are also easier to maintain and clean, making them a great option for families with children and pets.
-
Performance Fabrics: If you need a fabric that’s both stylish and practical, performance fabrics are your best bet. These fabrics are durable and resistant to stains, making them ideal for families or households with pets. Abhi & Oak offers sofas made with performance fabrics that combine beauty with functionality.
1.5. Color and Design
Choosing the right color for your sofa is essential in creating the desired atmosphere in your living room.

-
Regular Cleaning: Vacuum your sofa regularly to remove dust and dirt. For fabric sofas, use an upholstery attachment to gently clean the surface. Leather sofas should be wiped down with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabrics to fade and leather to crack. Position your sofa away from windows or use blinds and curtains to protect your furniture.

Rotating Cushions: To ensure even wear, rotate your cushions regularly. This is especially important for removable cushions that get used frequently.
