Design Tips: How to Choose 'Condo Friendly' Furniture

Published by Clive Braude on 4th Jun 2015

If you live in a condo in the Vancouver region and are shopping for a sofa, the vast array of options may be intimidating. You have a number of decisions ahead of you, such as leather versus fabric, loveseat or pull-out, and which of your friends you think you can most easily beg and bully into helping you move your new sofa. You may think that your sofa options are limited if your condo is on the smaller side, but there are several ways to fit a great sofa into a small space. Here are a few great ideas for finding the sofa that will work in your condo.

Sectional Sofas and Corner Couches

Classic Style That’s Highly Customizable

Leather sectional sofas are luxurious and comfortable, and they're a good choice for anyone who lives in a condo. They come in an array of styles and can be configured to fit your living space. You may choose sofas that feature two or three seats. The sectional can be matched with a corner couch or a chaise lounge.

You can also choose an L-shaped sectional, which is the more classic style. If you frequently entertain a lot of guests and need extra space, you can buy a large sectional sofa and a roomy loveseat to accommodate everyone. Some chaise lounges also come with extra space inside to use for storage.

Leather Loveseats

A Cosier Sofa That Fits Various Spaces

leather loveseat is a versatile piece that can fit well with any size room. If you have a large, open space, you can group a loveseat and matching sofa with some comfortable chairs and tables to create a cozy space for entertaining or relaxing with family. If your space is smaller, buy a smaller couch to go with the loveseat. Leather lends your space an elegant style, and it’s easy to keep clean – great if food or drink spills are a possible danger.

Leather Sofas

A Great Centerpiece or Dividing Point

A large,  leather sofa can be the focal point of a big living space in your condo. If the room is large enough, the sofa can be placed in the center of the room with patterned chairs to add contrast. A large sofa can also be used as a room divider for open spaces that you want to be sectioned off. A grouping of a leather sofa and upholstered chairs can create an intimate setting in a large room.

Sofa Beds

Overnight Guests Will Thank You

If you have a large family or friends who frequently spend the night at your condo, a  sofa bed is the ideal solution. Sofa beds are available in loveseats, sofas, and sectional sofas, so whatever size your condo is there's a sofa bed to suit you. If you have a large, open living space, it's easy to convert your sofa into a bed quickly for overnight guests. Smaller sofa beds inside a loveseat are the perfect solution for a small bedroom, and it can be folded away when it's not in use.

Condo living can often present challenges when it comes to finding furniture. If you’re a condo dweller in need of a great sofa, being creative and open-minded with your options will help you find the perfect piece for your living room. Whether it’s a sofa bed, a leather loveseat or the traditional dividing wall sofa, you can find a great piece of furniture that perfectly accents your  décor – without taking up two whole rooms.
