Sofas with accordion mechanisms come in a variety of sizes, depending a lot on the design.

• Single-bed models. The mini-sofa is compact, not too high - up to 80 cm. The sleeping place fits into approximately 105-110 cm. If desired, it can accommodate 2 people.

First of all, the sofa should be harmonious in terms of style and color scheme. Upholstered furniture is the central link in any interior composition, so there should be no dissonance. The sofa, regardless of its location, always looks like an addition against the background of the wall, so the harmony of this pair should be absolute. Be sure to consider the shades of the textiles. There are certain rules for choosing the color of the sofa. First you need to determine which group it should belong to:

• plain, includes both neutral (black, white, beige, brown shades) and bright (blue, green, orange, purple);

• patterned - upholstery with a print, ornament in any style (geometry, floral, animalistic, abstraction).

Monochrome options are the most versatile and practical, they are the easiest to fit into the composition. They can be placed in any room, regardless of style. Printed models are more capricious, especially if the ornament is expressive, catchy. Here you need to take into account not only the color, but also the shape, style of the picture. In addition to color, texture is important, which can transform even a monochrome model.Materials tend to reflect light in different ways, so they differ in rooms with different lighting.

It is very important to consider the type of room - in the kitchen, practical upholstery of not too easily soiled colors that do not absorb odor are optimal. In the living room - comfortable, soft, pleasant to the touch. In the nursery, those that are easier to clean are preferred. In addition, in the nursery and the room where you are resting, too flashy, contrasting solutions can tire the nervous system.

In order for the accordion sofa to serve for a long time and not disappoint, you need to pay attention to the following points. The filler provides a comfortable fit on the sofa for sleeping or relaxing. Therefore, it is not worth saving on this item. Before buying a sofa, consider the following parameters.

• Dimensions (edit)... Estimate how many family members will be sitting or sleeping on the couch, if there is a need for a large model. Do not overload the room with furniture if it is not necessary.
• Design... The corner model is preferable if it is possible to place a sofa in the corner or if you need to zone the space in the kitchen-living room. Straight models are more compact and can also be placed in the center of the room.
• Frame... It depends on the quality of this parameter whether it will be easy to lay it out, how long it will last, whether it will fail. The optimal solution is aluminum frames, lighter, stainless and reliable. If the wood box is perfectly dry, it will also be durable. Particleboard and MDF do not have a long service life.
• Filling and upholstery. The level of tightness and hardness must be assessed in a practical way. As for the fabric, strength, ease of care, and style are important here. If there are pets in the house, this must be taken into account, as many types of upholstery are easily scratched.
• Additional elements. First of all, this is a box for storing linen, armrests with storage shelves, built-in bars, coasters, coffee tables.
