As sofas take up a lot of room in a home, it makes sense to use your sofa for more practical usages. For example, if your house is one of those houses that don’t have the luxury of having a guest room or a home office. Lucky for you, you can use your sofa for these functions. When the room is used as a home office, you can just sit on a comfortable sofa to work and lie on it when you need a break. Likewise, if your kids have sleepovers, or you have guests for a movie night, the sofa would be perfect for them. Your kids will have friends over to stay, so you might need to add an extra bed into their rooms for sleepovers. However, the room might not have enough space for it. In that case, a sofa will be ideal. You can use a small sized sofa bed (armchair size works best). Apart from the sleepover usage, the sofa can be used as a comfortable place for your kids to sit and read. Provide a comforting, safe space for family debate The importance of the sofa in a home can’t be underestimated. Apart from the kitchen, living room creates a cozy atmosphere for family time.

In recent years, hard wooden chairs are no longer favourite items in the living room. In fact, there are more and more families who prefer a sofa to turn the room into the most comfortable place for family members, guests and puppies.

And when you don’t have guests, the room is almost useless for the people who live in the house. In this situation, you could always use that room for extra living space when no guests are staying by putting a sofa bed there. With a sofa bed, you can pull it out for guests but still have more available floorspace for the rest of the time.
