Popular Sofa Set Types in 2022

Choosing furniture for a guest room often begins with finding an attractive sofa set and coordinating accessories. In this article, KLIK introduces seating options in Saudi Arabia and its design-your-own furniture service. Read on for the sofa types discussed in this guide for 2022.

What types of sofa sets are available?

Sofa sets are a familiar part of home interiors around the world. Their shapes, colors and comfort help define a room. Turkish, Moroccan and European styles are among the many names used to describe them.

Sofas also differ in configuration. Some are separate single pieces, while others use several connected sections arranged in a curve, a straight line or an L shape.

Personal taste and the intended room both affect the choice. Guest reception rooms and rooms used for evening gatherings may need different sizes or arrangements. The following section explores common majlis sofa types and their characteristics.

Popular sofa types for 2022

Before comparing offers, consider the main sofa styles discussed in this article:

• Classic sofas: Classic sofas are familiar in formal salons and reception rooms. They appeal to many Saudi households seeking a refined, luxurious appearance.
• Modern sofa sets: Modern sofas have a contemporary character and generally use less visible wood than classic designs. They often feature striking, current colors.
• American-style sofa sets: American-inspired sofas are presented as contemporary, refined designs with relatively little ornament.
• Moroccan sofas: These follow Moroccan design traditions and are popular choices for majlis seating.
• Connected sofa sets: Connected sections can be arranged to suit different room sizes. Designs range from simple to richly decorated and appear in modern, Moroccan and corner seating styles. They are often used in men's majlis rooms and are also known as wraparound sofas.
• Turkish sofa sets: Turkish-style sofas are favored by many shoppers in Saudi Arabia for their combination of decorative richness, traditional character and contemporary refinement.
• Corner sofas: Connected corner seating can be placed along the side of a room, around a corner or in a curved arrangement.
• Sofa beds: Sofa beds fold out for sleeping and fold away when not needed. They are particularly useful in smaller homes and are a familiar multipurpose seating choice.

Characteristics of modern majlis seating in 2022

A modern majlis should bring several elements together:

• Comfortable sofas: Seating should feel comfortable for longer visits so both household members and guests can relax.
• Contemporary lighting: Thoughtful lighting contributes to a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere for guests.
• Refined flooring: Modern majlis flooring can include marble, patterned surfaces or wood.
• Small tables: Small or medium tables provide practical surfaces and help serve guests comfortably and evenly around the room.
• Privacy: Walls and closed doors can give a majlis the privacy that helps guests feel at ease.
• Colors: Soft shades such as pink, purple and other pastels are used in contemporary sofa schemes.

Tips for choosing a sofa set in 2022

The following considerations can help when comparing sets for your majlis:

• Choose the main sofa's length for the space and intended use. Check actual product dimensions rather than treating a generic number as a rule for every design.
• Check seat depth and height, and try the seating when possible to find a comfortable fit.
• Mark out a sofa's actual dimensions before buying so you can picture how it will sit in the room. KLIK's design-your-own service provides choices of shapes, sizes and details to help create the arrangement you want.
• Coordinate the finish of the sofa's metal or wooden frame with the room's decor.
• Compare the seat, back and arm dimensions of the designs you are considering. Choose arm shapes that suit your comfort and the room's style.
• Plan for the number of people who need seats and check the usable seat widths. Two-seat and three-seat labels do not guarantee the same dimensions across designs.
• Choose the base and legs for their appearance and ease of cleaning. Do not add lighting or fittings unless the product is designed to accommodate them.
• Keep large patterns and fashionable colors mainly on cushions rather than on large sofa surfaces, making them easier to change later.
• Choose comfortable armrests, but do not use them as seats unless the manufacturer expressly permits that use.
• Check that the sofa's length will fit the building's lift, particularly when delivering to an upper floor.
