Materials
Traditional material for making furniture is wood. Modern innovative production technologies have made it possible to create bars with imitation of natural wood. For example, fiberboard or chipboard is often used for the production of cabinet furniture: wardrobes, walls and kitchen sets. But they also do not bypass upholstered furniture. In the decor of upholstered furniture and in its prefabricated part, wood or chipboard is always present. Glass, metals, stone and ceramics are also very popular, but they are most often used for finishing and decorating sofas.
Classification
Furniture is used not only in home interiors, but also in offices or shops. Conventionally, it can be divided into two types.
Cabinet furniture
Consists of separate rigid elements. This type includescabinets, chests of drawers, tables, kitchen sets, shelving or cabinets. Modern cabinet furniture is made from various materials. Classic and durable - this is an array of different types of wood, more budget - fiberboard and chipboard.
Glass is also very often used for the production of such furniture. Such material allows you to dilute warm wooden surfaces and gives airiness to the rooms.

Upholstered furniture
This type includes corner and straight sofas, folding and non-folding chairs, pouffes and banquettes. Manufacturers of upholstered furniture use various fillers and upholstery materials. A variety of transformation systems allow you to use it in all interiors. When choosing sofas or armchairs for home and office, you should consider the possibilities of this type of furniture.
Any change in the housing and office space associated with redevelopment or new renovations necessitates updating or replacing furniture. Often, homeowners think through such changes ahead of time and pay attention to each element to create a coherent picture.
Perhaps one of the most important pieces of furniture is the sofa. This is often the main part of the room, especially the living room.
Sofas: purpose
Someone imagines the sofa in the center of the hall as a soft and functional item, which is so nice to relax after a hard day's work in front of the TV. And someone seesthis piece of furniture as a comfortable place for a night's sleep. Designers and designers of upholstered furniture are always trying to make the modern sofa beautiful and multifunctional.
For example, high-quality leather sofas are status and elite pieces of furniture in home and office interiors. They emphasize the exquisite taste and well-being of their owners. The classic style of living rooms and restaurants will also be transformed with this piece of furniture.

Designer corner options with interesting upholstery will set the accents in large spacious living rooms and office lobbies. At the peak of popularity in the modern furniture industry are modular sofas. This type allows you to simultaneously obtain both pouffes and armchairs, from which you can form both angular and linear structures.
Design
Interior design in modern styles is most drawn to minimalism. Various sofas are used both for furnishing exclusive projects and for arranging the home space of city apartments.

The sofa is the most important furniture in the living room. As a rule, it is selected according to the general style of the interior. But that doesn't mean you can't play with contrasts. Even for minimalist designs, exquisite upholstered furniture is suitable. Sofas for the living room can be selected based on the overall color scheme ortaking into account the style of the room.
Filler
A high-quality and properly stuffed sofa will not only be comfortable for relaxing or sleeping, but will also last much longer. In the production of upholstered furniture, a filler from spring blocks is often used, which makes it not only comfortable, but also durable. Many springs make up separate blocks, which, in turn, are located in separate cells. This filling system is ideal for both simple rest and sleeping. In more budget options, spring blocks are fastened into a single piece and move synchronously.
Synthetic fillers are much cheaper, but you can choose quality materials among them. They not only keep their shape well, but also last a long time. Most often, foam rubber, synthetic winterizer and other innovative materials are used.
Upholstery
When choosing a sofa upholstery, you should consider not only the color and texture, but also the quality of the material. The most popular options are jacquard and tapestry. Such natural fabrics have a high density and can be made in any color scheme.
The Belgian tapestry, which looks like velor, is especially popular. Tapestry and jacquard upholstery are great for large modular designs, but if you play with the right colors, they can be used for small linear sofas. The tapestry itself is very pleasant to the touch and easy to clean.
No less popular are other upholstery materials: flock, velor, chenille, other high-quality varieties of flock. They are quite strong and durable.
One of the latest sofa trends is the use of plain fabrics. Thus, the sofa (roll-out or fixed) becomes the highlight of the entire interior.
Leather as an upholstery - though expensive, but no less popular material. Leather sofas have the disadvantage of not being very comfortable in contact with the skin at very low or high temperatures. But this is easy to solve with the help of soft textile bedspreads. The faux leather kitchen sofa is very easy to clean.
Mechanisms of transformation
To increase the functionality, there are various mechanisms for transforming the sofa. They allow you to change not only the position and shape, but also the appearance of the sofa. Such systems make it possible to fold and unfold furniture as conveniently as possible, depending on the circumstances.
The sofa is a necessary piece of furniture, and thanks to the transformation systems it can be successfully used as a bed.
