What Are The Different Types Of Italian Sofas?

With our 40 years of experience in luxury Italian sofas, we frequently help customers with the question: What are the different types of Italian sofas?

An Italian sofa is a fine piece of high-quality furniture made from the finest materials and leather. They last longer than other sofas due to their craftsmanship.

They feature straight and clean lines, perfect for the modern minimalist. Knowing what makes Italian sofas special will help you make a more informed decision on how to choose a piece that will complement your home.

The different types of Italian sofas

Timeless appeal and luxury have made Italian sofas beloved for ages. The variety of styles and materials used in Italian sofas makes them ideal for both modern homes and offices. They can be custom-made in different materials:

Fabric

Italian fabric sofas frequently include soft fabrics like cotton and linen as they offer comfort while being breathable during the warmer seasons.

Sofas made of fabric are popular amongst our clients, and we offer a wide range of colours and patterns. You can choose from a range of fabrics including microfibre, velvet, chenille, and wool.

Leather

The quality of the leather used in making an Italian leather sofa is far superior to other sofa types. Full-grain leather, which is the highest standard and is regarded as one of the most resilient hides, is used in Italian leather sofas.

Aside from being stylish and chic, they are the top choice for pet owners since fur and dust are easy to vacuum. They are also flexible to conform to your body, which makes Italian leather sofas extremely comfortable to lounge on.

What to consider when buying an Italian sofa

We are here to guide you in choosing a great Italian sofa for your home. Here are some things to consider before making your purchase:

• Size configurations: Consider how many people will be sitting on your sofa at once. Small Italian sofas can comfortably seat one or two people. For seating more than two people you will have to find something larger like a modular sofa.
• Budget: Another important thing to remember when choosing the right sofa for your home is that you should work with your budget.
• Measurements: Measure the area where you want to place your sofa before you start shopping. Make sure the sofa is the appropriate size for the room—neither too little nor too huge. Also, measure from wall to wall. This will help you determine if there is sufficient space for a coffee table, ottoman, and other furniture in front of the sofa.
• Style: An Italian sofa can be the focal point of your living room, and it is important to choose one that suits your taste. There are many styles to choose from such as modern, minimalist, or even traditional!
