Seating

When choosing seating, it’s wise to look beyond just the design. The right size, the desired seating experience and the way a piece of furniture fits into your interior ultimately make all the difference. Particularly in a category with so many options, it helps to first decide where the furniture will be placed and how often you’ll be using it.

What types of seating are best suited to your space?

This category brings together a range of seating solutions, each serving a specific purpose in the home. This makes it easier for you to compare them and choose the one that really suits your lifestyle.

• Banks – for everyday use in the living room, from compact to spacious.
• Lounge sofas – ideal if you’re looking for great seating comfort and a relaxed layout.
• Corner sofas, U-shaped sofas and modular sofas – suitable for larger seating areas and flexible layouts.
• 2-seater sofas, 3-seater sofas and 4-seater sofas – useful if you’re looking for a specific size and number of seats.

How to choose seating that really makes your home a pleasant place to live

A beautiful piece of seating furniture must work just as well in practice as it does at first glance. You should therefore pay particular attention to three points: space, comfort and cohesion.

1. The right size and layout

Make sure you measure the available space carefully before making your choice. Don’t just consider the external dimensions of a sofa or armchair, but also the space needed to walk around it, sightlines and how it relates to other pieces of furniture. In a compact living room, a two-seater sofa or a combination of a sofa and an armchair often works better, whilst a larger space calls for a corner sofa, a U-shaped sofa or a modular arrangement.

2. The desired level of seating comfort

Everyone sits differently. Some people prefer an active sitting position, whilst others prefer a more reclined, lounge-style posture. So consider the purpose of the furniture: do you mainly sit at the table for short periods in an upright position, stretch out in the living room, or use it as an extra spot for reading and relaxing? By choosing based on this, you’ll be able to make a decision more quickly that you’ll enjoy every day.

3. The look and feel of your home

Seating furniture takes up a lot of visual space. That is precisely why it is important that its shape, colour and material complement the atmosphere you wish to create in your home. Looiershuis is renowned for warm, modern interiors with character. Within this category, you can therefore search specifically for unique seating furniture which create a sense of calm, have an inviting look and blend in beautifully with the rest of your décor.

Compare seating within the collection

If you’re torn between several models, don’t just compare them on appearance alone. Also consider the size, the type of seating and the role the piece of furniture will play in your home. You’ll prioritise a dining chair differently from a lounge sofa, and a single armchair requires a different set of considerations to a complete seating area.

When it comes to sofas, the layout is often the deciding factor. Do you want to maximise space, create extra seating, or perhaps maintain an open-plan layout? In that case, it helps to compare different sofa designs side by side. For the dining area, however, the focus is more on comfortable seating and ensuring the sofa complements the table and the surrounding space. With armchairs, the balance between comfort and style is often the most important factor.

Exploring your options and making a choice at Looiershuis

Looiershuis combines an online range with a large showroom in Chaam, where you can view seating furniture in person and compare it more effectively. This is particularly useful if you’re unsure about the size, style or which type of sofa or armchair best suits your space. This way, you can make your choice not just based on a picture, but also on how it feels and how you’ll use it.

If you’re looking for seating that adds warmth, quality and a unique touch to your interior, you’ll find a carefully curated collection here. Take a look at the different models and choose the piece of seating that suits your lifestyle.

Frequently asked questions about seating furniture

What types of seating are there?

Seating comes in many forms, including sofas, lounge sofas, corner sofas, U-shaped sofas, modular sofas, chairs, armchairs, loveseats and footstools. Which type is best suited depends on the space available, the number of seats required and how you intend to use the furniture.

What makes a sofa comfortable?

A comfortable sofa is, above all, one that suits your sitting posture and how you use it. For some, that means a deeper lounge sofa; for others, a slightly more active seating option. So bear in mind the size, layout and how you intend to use the sofa on a daily basis.

Can I have a look at the seating before I make my choice?

Yes, as well as browsing our online range, you can also visit the Looiershuis showroom in Chaam to view and compare different pieces of seating furniture. This will help you make a more informed choice based on appearance, proportions and comfort.
