Choosing the right sofa for your living room can be overwhelming—but it doesn't have to be. At Glick’s Furniture, we specialise in designer & Replica sofas that combine style, comfort, and durability. Whether you're furnishing a new home or upgrading your current space, this guide will help you make the right choice.

Measure Your Space

Before browsing sofas online or in-store, measure your living room. A well-proportioned sofa enhances flow and function.

Ask yourself:

  • What size sofa fits the room comfortably?
  • Will a modular, chaise, or 3-seater work best?
  • Are there entryways or hallways to consider?

Tip: Use masking tape to outline the sofa’s footprint before buying.

 

Choose a Sofa That Matches Your Lifestyle

Not all sofas serve the same purpose. Consider how your sofa will be used:

  • Lounging or Netflix nights – Choose a deep, plush modular sofa like our Cloud Modular Sofa or Milan Sofa for ultimate comfort and relaxation.
  • Formal seating area – Opt for a structured design from our Replica Sofa Collection, ideal for more refined living spaces.

 

Pick a Sofa Style to Suit Your Home

Your sofa should complement your interior design style:

  • Modern – Clean lines, neutral tones
  • Hamptons – White or beige upholstery with curved arms
  • Scandinavian – Natural woods, light fabric, minimal detail
  • Coastal – Relaxed linen sofas in airy, soft tones

Browse our living room collection to explore options by style.

 

Select the right fabric

The fabric you choose affects both aesthetics and longevity.

Popular options:

  • Linen – Light, breathable, great for casual living
  • Boucle – Textured and on-trend

 

Consider the Colour

When choosing a sofa colour, think about your space, lighting, and how much wear it will endure.

  • Light colours like ivory, beige or white create a soft, airy feel
  • Darker tones like charcoal or Hunter Green hide stains and create contrast
  • Neutrals offer long-term flexibility in styling

 

Check Comfort and Build Quality

Visit our Mascot showroom or request more info online to test:

  • Seat depth and firmness
  • Cushion fill (e.g. high-resilience foam, feather or Foam)
  • Frame material and durability
  • Stitching and overall finish

All Glick’s Furniture sofas are built using solid timber frames and premium foams for comfort and longevity.

Choosing the right sofa is about more than looks - it’s about functionality, comfort, and quality. With our curated collection of premium designer and replica sofas, you’re sure to find one that fits your space and your lifestyle.
