How to choose a small sofa for the dining table?

Not every small sofa can be combined with a dining table. There are a number of reasons for this. The first reason is not matching the height. Products intended for the living room may be too low in relation to the dining tabletop. The second reason is insufficient surface rigidity. Too soft upholstery, the frame will be pressed. The third reason is the very easily soiled upholstery. This option is not suitable for the kitchen-dining room, because in this room it is quite difficult to avoid the appearance of spots.

It is important that you sit comfortably on your sofa while eating.

For these reasons, when choosing a sofa, it is worth considering a number of criteria:

1. The size. Width, length of the product should be medium or small. Install bulky furniture in the dining room. Particular attention should be paid to seat height. It should be below the table top by a maximum of thirty-five centimeters. If the difference is greater, dining at the table will be uncomfortable.
   

   If there is very little space in the kitchen, you can choose a sofa couch, very compact when folded

2. Colors. The color of the sofa should be in harmony with the color scheme of the surrounding space, the style of the room. It is better to choose a color not easily soiled, not too bright. Contrasting shades will excite the nervous system, interfering with smooth digestion.

4. Upholstery material. This is one of the most important criteria. The ease of care of the product, its durability, and the attractiveness of its appearance will depend on the correct choice of material. Upholstery should not be a brand. It is better to give preference to artificial, natural skin. This option is easy to clean from pollution, it does not absorb liquid. If the choice is given to flock, microfiber, then it is worth immediately ordering several removable covers. Covers protect the surface from contamination. They can be removed, machine washed.
