The sofa: the king of the house
If you had to choose among the living room furniture the “most important” one, you would probably choose the sofa. There are many good reasons why we could consider it the real king of the house. But let’s see what the main ones are:
The sofa is probably the most expensive piece of the whole room
It represents a considerable investment, especially if purchased new or if it is made of leather and, even more so, if it is made to measure. Even if the sofa doesn’t cost as much as an antique or an expensive painting, it’s probably still costing you quite a bit of money. That’s why it makes sense to protect that investment by considering precautions such as thickness and fabric care products. A water-repellent treatment for example could keep it from staining too easily.
It is the most used piece of furniture
A sofa is an object that we could define as heavy traffic. If you’re single, it’s the hub for guests and if you have family, the kids practically grow on it. If you have pets your couch is most likely a trophy. With all this activity, whatever it is, your couch is a very likely candidate for rips, scratches, stains or burns. The great fortune is that there are furniture professionals who can repair your sofa for less than it would have cost to buy a new one. But to deal with it as little as possible, it’s best to opt for a slipcover as well.
