Quality and affordable custom sofas for a perfect living room

In one of the decorating projects I'm currently working on, we had the challenge of fitting a large sofa into a very cluttered space.

And I say great sofa because the client I worked with, Marga, saw this as a must-have for her living room: a generously sized chaise longue for lounging comfortably.

The problem was that the living room had a very irregular floor plan and the available options for standard sofas, as you well know, do not have the flexibility necessary to adapt them to the most difficult of spaces.

So we had no choice but to pull out special couches.

When we entered the world of custom sofas, we were faced with another problem: Budget.

And as you well know, if you are looking for a good quality custom-made sofa, prices go through the roof, right?

Here I received a bit of humility treatment from my client, because he was the one who told me about a shop that sold custom-made, quality sofas at a very, very good price.

And I call it the humility cure, because after 20+ years as an interior designer, sometimes you think you know almost everything and suddenly some person who has nothing to do with this world comes to you and surprises you and teaches you something you should have known a long time ago.

The client told me to check out Sofasvalencia.com as she found they had some very good options.

So I went to their website and my surprise was capitalized when I saw the amount of options we had to design the sofa the way we needed it and at a price that truly surprised me and may surprise you.

To avoid getting bored with the many options, I have prepared a sample of sofas made to measure that we can order, so that you can see, from what I see, the ease of making it, the great sofa we make, and that you can get a very good price for it.

We were looking for a recliner, so let's do the example with a recliner. Let me show you the simplicity and the custom-made and personalized sofa that you can have in a few clicks. Uncomplicated.

Paso 1The first thing we need to do is enter your online sofa configurator, where in some pre-built templates we choose the type of sofa we want: straight sofa, chaise longue, sofa bed, corner, etc.

Paso 2. Once we have chosen the type of armchair we need, in this case the chaise longue, the page takes us to the catalog of chaise longues that this company has so that we can choose the model we like the most. As you will see, there are many to choose from.

Once the sofa is selected, it takes us to the configurator where we can choose the dimensions of the chaise longue.

Two armchairs of a certain size, three armchairs larger or smaller, wider, thinner arms, chaise longue left or right… Anyway, in this section we have been able to configure the dimensions, the seats, the position and other options that we need to adapt it to our space.

Paso 3Once we have selected these options the page takes us to the upholstery section where we can choose the upholstery for our sofa.

Upholstery selection for our special chair

And fortunately, the variety is huge. So much so that we can choose from over 100 different upholstery in all kinds of fabrics. From leather to leatherette, stain-resistant fabric, 100% polyester to chenille, ultra-resistant fabrics for children and pets, Dalmatian leather, through other popular types of fabrics for sofas.

Paso 4After choosing the upholstery of the sofa, it takes us to the page where we can choose the type of sponge of the sofa.

Density selection of custom sofa foam

The subject of foam is a separate world and I could write an article talking about it but to summarize, the higher the density per m3 (Kg) of the sofa foam, the more durable and resistant it is.

So we can choose from a range of foamings for our personalized sofa, ranging from 30 kg per m3 to 55 kg per m3.

If you don't know very well what I'm talking about, a foam with 30 kg or more per m3 is quality and durable foams.

If they have less, you should look into other higher densities, or you will be sitting on the wooden frame of the sofa in practically no time.

Paso 5After choosing the filling of the sofa, the sofa configurator takes us to the next step, that is, to choose the legs of the sofa.

Special leg options for bespoke sofas

Here we can choose from a wide variety of options: Metal, wood, minimalist, modern, classic, chrome, on wheels, etc.

Paso 6. Once we have chosen the legs of our custom sofa, it leads us to one of the last options, that is, to choose the type of arm of the sofa. Rolin Model or Exit Model.

Paso 7When we select the arm of the sofa, it gives us the option to choose whether we want the sofa with storage or not.

Paso 8Now that we have chosen the complete configuration of our custom sofa, it takes us to another page where we see all the options we have chosen and get the final price of the sofa.

Summary of order and selected options

In 8 simple steps we configured for our client a custom-made three-seater sofa, a chaise longue, a chest for the living room, with perfect upholstery and all for € 1,119. A real miracle.

Naturally, you can find cheaper models and more expensive ones, depending on the fabric or the seats or other options.

I wanted to give a real example that falls in the “middle range” of prices to illustrate the premise of this article that you are reading: exclusive and quality sofas at an unbeatable price.

Now let me tell you about the advantages of a custom sofa.

Advantages of a custom sofa

Suitable for the size of your living room:

The sofa is the biggest and most important package in any living room. Taking this into account, having a sofa that fits perfectly into your living room, taking advantage of every inch of it, becomes one of the biggest incentives to have a custom sofa.

If you have or have ever had a sofa that is disproportionate in size compared to your living room, you will understand the importance of what I am telling you. But there is more.

A sofa tailored to you:

Every person is different and it is impossible to find a completely perfect sofa for every person. Therefore, the best solution is to create it for yourself. No one knows your body and its needs better than you. Create your sofa and have the most comfortable chair in the world.

Match the style of your living room:

You have no idea how many times I have had to change the design or decoration of a living room because the customer ended up choosing a different sofa. So a standard sofa that is not made to measure defines the style of the living room and limits us in a certain way in our options. But not a custom sofa, a custom sofa is integrated into the living room. It does not impose orders, but fits our decorative style like a glove, no matter what.

Special design:

You may have seen a sofa and fell in love with its design, but then realized it wasn’t in a sofa bed format and you needed a sofa bed. This is just one example, it could also be the other way around, you were looking for a simple sofa and fell in love with a sofa bed and you didn’t need one. As you can imagine, there are many more examples.

With a custom sofa this does not happen because you add what you need, no more options and no less options.

Disadvantages of a custom sofa

If you had asked me a month ago, I would have told you what everyone knows: the downside to buying a custom sofa is the price. If you have been looking for a custom sofa, you will have noticed that the price has gone through the roof.

The big downside to these particular sofas is their high price; the reason why most people cannot find their perfect sofa.

But once we meet this sofa company that we have just seen, the disadvantage disappears because, as we have seen, we can have a large sofa made to measure and at an unbeatable price. You can see all their sofas and measure your sofa here, on their website.

I hope you can now purchase and design your custom sofa without selling a kidney and I must admit that credit goes to my client Marga who introduced me to this sofa company.
