What Is A Deep Sofa/Deep Couch?

The idea of a sofa that feels like its made for extravagant relaxation has clear appeal. That's basically what a deep sofa/deep couch is. It's your couch, only better because it's deeper.

• Most couches are proportioned to focus on length rather than depth. This is because if you have a longer couch, you're more likely to lay down or nap on it, plus you can fit additional friends or pets for watching TV or socializing.
• A deep sofa puts the focus on the depth or front-to-back measurement of the couch. At West Elm, deeper styles run up to 41 or 43 inches. This expands upon the average sofa depth of about 22 to 24 inches.
• The rest of your deep sofa may look familiar. The arms are generally the same height, while the back may be low or high, depending on personal preference. Only the depth is exaggerated for your comfort.

Transforming Your Living Room Layout

Once you commit to a deep sofa, you may find that the atmosphere in your living room or other sitting area feels dramatically different. Enjoy a chic, bohemian mood and take the opportunity to reconsider the proportions of your other furnishings and decor.

• You may want to complement your deep sofa with a larger rug than before. A bigger rug can help the deeper sofa look less exaggerated, but just as inviting.
• Another way to fine-tune your layout is to keep your large area rug in the center of the room and use a smaller size of rug to introduce the deeper couch. For a sophisticated take, choose the smaller and larger rug in the same pattern.
• Work your end tables here by either choosing new ones that complement the depth of the couch or by clustering smaller butler tables alongside your existing side tables.

Changing The Mood with Accents

Continue to embellish the space around a deep sofa with accents. Choose decorative objects, throw blankets and pillows, ottomans and more to make your space as rejuvenating as possible.
