Signs that Tells You it's Time to Replace your Sofa

As we spend years of our life at home, it’s easy for us to be attached to certain items we own. From framed childhood photos, flower vases given as a gift, coffee tables bought at thrift stores, every little thing has a special memory attached to it making it difficult to part with.

This holds true even with the bigger items in our home like our contemporary living room furniture set. That despite the stains, scratches, the screeching sound it makes every time a guest takes a seat we still find it hard to wave goodbye to our beloved sofa.

If you are still wondering if it’s finally time to replace your couch here are the usual signs that you will encounter before the parting days.

1.    Your sofa taps out every time you try to take a seat

Don’t let your sofa reminds you or your guest about the weight you put on last Holiday. If your couch is giving out a weird sound every time you take a seat like it’s already complaining, consider a trip to the nearest furniture repair shop or let it retire altogether.

2.    When it’s causing you a lot of backache

Have you ever regretted passing out on the sofa only to wake up with awful backache? That happens to me a lot. The worse part is a friend, who had a sleepover at our house, slept on the couch and complained of backache later. Maybe next time he’ll be sleeping better after I finally decided to toss out our broken sofa.

3.    When it’s beginning to look out of place

Nothing ruins an interior design more than a living room furniture set that is too large it occupies space more than it should. When renovating your home, resist the urge to keep your beloved sofa even if it’s obviously out of place. Measure the floor space in your living room and buy furniture that will be both functional and comfortable for your family.

4.    Bed bugs, bed bugs

If you’ve already tried all the home remedy and even shed some bucks to hire a professional to drive them away, maybe it’s time to think how you can get rid of your sofa. It’s the best you can do to save yourself from scratching your legs, especially when you are designing living room for your family. Plus new and comfortable living room furniture set can give you a piece of luxury just by letting you watch your favorite TV program in peace.

We often believe that it’s okay to keep our couch despite all the discomfort we’re going through because of it. However, once you found the courage to replace it with a better one, you will be surprised with how simple life can be in your living room. Are you having the same experience? Don’t you think it’s time for a little change?
