Ep 56: Deep Dive: Couches

Feb 5, 2019

There’s so much to consider when making a long-term purchase. Today, we are helping you out with 6 questions to ask yourself when you are looking to buy a new sofa! We chat about function, dimensions, lounge-worthy or more for looks, fabric, budget, and style.

Plus, you’ll hear the quirky piece that Ashley added to her patio and what Suzannah is currently sitting on at her desk.

We talked about:

1. Function
   1. Pull-out bed
   2. Sectional
   3. Two- or three-seater
2. Dimensions
   1. 32-40” deep
   2. 6-8 feet long
   3. 15-20” seat height
3. Lounge-worthy or Firm
   1. Down or foam cushions (soft seat or firm)
   2. Cushions that can flip
4. Fabric (good for spills?)
5. Budget
   
   1. Smaller Budget - Ikea and Target
   2. Middle - West Elm and Article
