We know that you’re eager to get home, take off your shoes, get comfortable and let the sofa embrace you. Eager to take a nap while it’s raining outside, to binge-watch series, to read that book that is always by your side. Eager to share time with your loved ones, of endless chats, of games on the floor with the little ones. We know that you’re eager to have a new sofa. And at IKEA we have the one made just for you (and your way of living it).
1. Taking measures (before falling in love)
Before choosing the design, colour or fabric, there’s an essential first step: to measure your space well. Check the width, depth and height, but also take into account windows, doors, heaters, lighting points and the rest of living room furniture. A beautiful sofa is important, but one that fits seamlessly is even better.
Practical tip: mark the floor with adhesive tape with the size of the sofa to visualize how it will fit in your living room.
People + Planet
At IKEA, it is very important that wood comes from sustainable sources. We collaborate with non-profit organizations committed to protecting forests, and we continue to look for ways to create great designs using less raw material.
IKEA TIP: Modular sofas allow you to create the shape and size that better adapt to your space. And if your family grows (or your plans change), you can always add more sections. Flexibility for today and tomorrow.
2. Planification: think of your daily life
Every home is different, and every sofa must be different as well. Ask yourself:
• How many of you are there at home?
• What’s the purpose of the sofa? Lie down and watch TV or to share games and meetings?
• Do you need a sofa bed for guests or a corner sofa with extra storage?
Whatever it is you’re looking for, at IKEA we have the perfect sofa for you. And now we are helping you find it.
IKEA TIP: Some sofas have built-in storage, perfect to store blankets, cushions or board games and to keep the living room organized.
3. Combine and add character
Colour and upholstery make the difference. Light tones bring a feeling of spaciousness, while strong colours bring character. At IKEA you will find a great variety of upholstery and washable covers, so you don’t have to worry about daily life spots.

IKEA TIP: Complete your sofa with lamps, rugs, coffee tables and cushions. Complements are the easiest way to transform your living room and give it a very personal style.
4. Try, try and try again
A sofa is chosen calmly. This is why we want you to try it as many times as you want, until you’re sure it’s the one for you. Because a good sofa it’s noticed… from the start.
5. One sofa, a thousand colours
IKEA covers protect your sofa and give that beautiful and modern touch that you love. They’re removable and washable, even full grain leather versions. This way, your sofa will look as good as new.
