What Makes a Sofa Luxurious? 5 Essential Qualities

3 minutes read

The word "luxurious" means an expensive and elegant item that makes our lives easier or more pleasant, but isn’t a strict necessity. Luxury can also denote the conditions that provide a very comfortable existence. It is often associated with high quality, high price and low availability; sometimes we enjoy the very fact of owning elite items that few people can afford. Although we can usually find similar pieces in cheaper versions, when we love luxury and can afford it, we more often choose what is rare and more expensive. Luxury goods are mainly in the hands of wealthy and influential people, which is what makes them so valuable. They owe their high price not to any particular utility, but to finesse and, as we mentioned, low availability. There’s no denying that the world of luxury is a beautiful one! Luxury furniture allows you to interact with artful design every day, in your home and on your terms. You can marvel at their beautiful construction and design, and surrounding yourself with beautiful objects can give you a sense of true satisfaction, whether they are sofas, beds, chairs, tables, or sideboards. At the same time, keep in mind that in the long run, luxury furniture brands are a much better investment than mass-produced products. Not only do they look beautiful, but they are also much more durable than cheaper competitors. So, if you're looking for a luxury sofa for your living room, check out the Micadoni brand collection and see how luxury sofas differ from standard designs.

Exceptional Design

The goal of design is to create an object in its most aesthetically pleasing and noblest form. Therefore, designer furniture and accessories clearly fall into the category of luxury items. Beautiful design characterizes high-end furniture, and although it is sometimes difficult to name precisely, we notice its subtlety and sophisticated and unique shape.

Designer brands create products that are stylish, but do not limit themselves to one trend - they create these trends themselves, breaking industry patterns. They give furniture an elegant look and enrich it with universal details that discreetly distinguish it. They have that something that is associated with success and good taste, even for those who have little knowledge of design.

In a nutshell, a luxury sofa should look exceptionally stylish and stand out for its choice of fabrics and finishes. It is this combination of creative style and high-end materials that makes it so remarkable. Its beautiful, luxurious design goes far beyond practical utility. In addition to being functional and comfortable, it is meant to be mainly aesthetic. Luxury brands are at the forefront of design and technology. They create products using innovative solutions and equip them with additional features to provide even more comfort and enjoyment. The Margo luxury modular sofa not only provides comfortable rest, but also allows you to create your own living room set from the available pieces.

High quality

A luxury sofa is a long-term investment in something that will become a standout feature of your home. If you care about durability, it's worth buying it from a reputable, proven manufacturer that will ensure quality as well as provide a warranty and service. All parts of the furniture must have the best features, from the wooden frame to the stitching of the upholstery, and full details should be available from the seller. An inferior quality sofa can quickly disappoint you when it begins to collapse, creak and wobble even before you have time to properly enjoy it. In luxury furniture, this has no right to happen. Even the greatest elegance and design can fall short if the materials used are simply poor. Often, you will wait for several weeks for delivery, because a high-end sofa is not always available on hand. However, the wait is worth it, as it will accompany you for decades.

Durable materials

Sofas made of cheap upholstery materials already seem a bit tattered after a short use and quickly lose their elegant look. It's worth taking a detailed look at the upholstery and checking, for example, the seams and stitching. If you notice unevenness, it's a sign that they may be prone to tearing quickly. It's important that the sofa is upholstered in a fabric suitable for its intended use, resistant to tearing, fading, and missing. More and more fabrics also have innovative properties: stain resistance and easy cleaning. When buying a luxury sofa you will have many types of fabrics to choose from, at different prices and probably in many color options. The most prestigious and expensive is natural leather upholstery, but at the same time it is very durable. Remember that such expensive fabrics need to be properly cared for so that they don't rub and lose their luster.

Springy filling

The upholstery of the seats and backs of luxury sofas is of very high quality, while their fillings are dense and compact. Deep and high cushions are characterized by their springiness, yet they are firm enough that when you sit on them you don't feel the wooden structure and the seat doesn’t collapse. When you stand up, the seats easily regain their original shape.

Solid frame

The skeleton of each sofa is made of wood and metal. Such a frame carries the entire structure of the sofa, which has a great impact on the stability of the furniture. Poor quality of framing materials can cause the furniture to start losing shape and form after a while. In luxury sofas, natural solid wood is used instead of plywood. Hardwoods such as beech, oak, and ash are best, as their wood is much denser and retains its properties for a long time. A solid frame makes the sofa still usable after many years.

Your Comfort

When it comes to high-end sofas, comfort and ergonomics are essential! They depend, of course, on individual preferences, but some universal principles are invariable. You may like to rest on firmer seats or sink softly into down cushions, but you shouldn't feel even the slightest discomfort in the process. If you want to emphasize the luxurious look and coziness, you can order additional cushions. It is also important that the sofa has the right height for your back, and the seat isn’t placed too low. Its length should be adjusted to your height if you intend to lounge on it. How do you test this when buying your sofa? Take off your shoes and lie down or sit down as usual. Now check how you feel, whether everything the way you like it. Many manufacturers can customize the proportions and sizes of the couch to make you as comfortable as possible.

Excellent craftsmanship

When it comes to luxury furniture, the way it is made and assembled plays an important role, which depends expert craftsmanship. Most luxury sofas are made in small-scale carpentry manufactories, where they are handcrafted and then delivered to you in one whole. They are designed by the best in the business and created by professionals who know how to work the wood, secure, paint, and upholster it. Exceptional attention to detail is evident in luxury furniture. Certain details, such as quilting and piping, ensure that the furniture looks beautiful and elegant – something isn’t common in "ordinary" models, based on mass technology.

High price

Modern luxury living room sofa sets, as well as individual high-end furniture, are not affordable goods, but they are worth every penny. While they are several times more expensive than the average ones, you get furniture that will leave you satisfied and proud for many years, without regretting, even for a moment, the money spent. You can say that this is a real investment that will stay with you for a very long time, and perhaps for a lifetime. What is the reason for such high prices? First of all, it's all about the original design, the materials used, and the craftsmanship. These items are handmade in companies with years of experience, guaranteeing the best quality, so they simply must cost more.

How to arrange luxury furniture in your interior?

A contemporary luxury interior is distinguished by its spaciousness, which means it mustn’t be cluttered with items. A simple, well-thought-out decor is the best background for high-end sofa sets, which will be properly displayed. An excess of colors looks kitschy, so a selection of three hues in one room is completely sufficient. Warm shades that create a feeling of coziness are the best. Timeless beiges, whites, and grays enlarge the interior and brighten the space up while letting the luxurious sofas to stand out. Fashionable lighting can further enhance their character. Carpets bring elegance and a warm atmosphere, while making it easier to divide the space into different functions.

It's important to avoid cheap candlelight and unnecessary decorations which will completely nullify the effect of luxury. Instead, choose a few thoughtful and meaningful items that have a "soul". If you want to individualize the living room more, add pillows in a color that matches the upholstery of the chairs and sofas. Choose pillowcases made of fine cashmere, silk, velvet, or wool. Opt for minimalism and avoid chaos, so that your luxurious sofas can shine in their full glory.
