There’s no better feeling than hitting the couch after a hard day at the office. Whether it’s to watch a movie, chill with your fam or catch up on your social media accounts, a good couch is the perfect place to wind down.
- A frame built to survive braais and rugby matches
When choosing a couch, think of it as a trusty companion for your living room adventures. You want a frame that can withstand more than just a casual chat over tea. Imagine hosting a Saturday afternoon braai with friends while cheering for the Springboks during a nail-biting rugby match. Your couch should stand strong, like a seasoned rugby player in the scrum.
- Life is better with fluffy cushions
Comfort is key when you’re considering buying a new couch. A couch should embrace you like a warm cup of coffee on a chilly Saturday morning. Look for cushions that seem like you’re in the middle of a warm, comfy hug when you sit down. Overstuffed cushions? Perfect for sinking into while loadshedding plays hide-and-seek with your electricity supply and a good book is the answer to life’s problems.
- Upholstery that won’t let you down
We don’t care what anyone sees or what style is currently in season, good upholstery will never go out of style. Opt for fabrics that can handle everyday spills because let’s face it, accidents happen… Especially if you’ve got little ones trying to tell a story with a sippy cup in their tiny hands. Performance fabrics are your best bet. And if you’re feeling fancy, leather is a stylish option: Rich, enduring, and oh-so-South African.
- Not too big, not too small
When it comes to couches, it’s a wise decision to avoid extremes. A couch too big will dominate your space like a giant baobab tree, while a tiny couch will look lost, like a tourist lost in the middle of the bush. Proportions matter, just like the balance of spices in a mouthwatering bunny chow. Not too much of this or too little of that, just perfect.
- Location, location, location
Consider the shape and layout of your room. L-shaped? Straight? Curved? Your couch should adapt to the layout of your room. Maybe it’s a conversation starter during book club meetings or a cozy nest for binge-watching your favourite new series. Choosing where to put your couch might seem obvious, but it can make a world of difference if it’s in the wrong place.
Now that you’ve chosen your couch, insuring it should be next on your list. In the world of insurance, the term home contents is always described as the items that would fall out when you turn your house upside down. So, your couch should be covered as part of your home contents insurance.
