If you are looking to buy a tradional hand made sofa then a Chesterfield is a great choice. There are several things you should think about before uying though, namely whether it fits into your budget, will fit into your home decor and whether it is the right sofa for your family situation. You'll also need to decide on the type of sofa you want. Do you want loose cushions or not? What kind of arms do you want on the sofa? Do you want it to have bare legs? When buying a new sofa - be it Chesterfield or not - all these things must be taken into account, and you should think carefully about it before committing to buying so that you don't make a mistake.

Chesterfield say on their website that they are "world renowned" in the quality of their hand made sofas and there aren't many that would disagree with them as the sofas they make really are special. As an example of just how high quality they are, some of their sofas were used at the G20 summit and you don't get into there without being of the very highest class.

Sofas vary in quality and lifespan depending on how much you spend, so it is always a good idea to go with a reputable company if at all possible so that you know what you are getting.

General sofa buying tips

Buying a new sofa is a difficult decision because while there are so many options available only a few will be in your price range as well as fitting well into your homes decor. It is important to set yourself a strict budget and not go over this as sofas can be expensive and it is easy to get carried away.You also have to think of things such as how many cushions you want on the sofa. With Chesterfields you always get the more traditional multi cushion approach, but if you are looking for a modern sofa then you could go for a single cushion which can also look great. This isn't generally an option when trying to buy a Chesterfield though.One choice you might have to make is whether you get a skirted sofa or one with bare legs. Again this is a matter of opinion and taste although you'll want to get one that matches the style of the furniture already in your home. You can also choose whether you would like a regular sofa or a corner sofa, and this will be decided by whether you have lots of space in your room or not and whether you want a slightly more modern look or go for the completely traditional option.
