  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    By the strictest definition, a sofa is not a chair. Generally, a chair is a seating solution for one person. Since a sofa seats more than one person at a time, it usually isn't considered a chair. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of antique, vintage and contemporary chairs and sofas.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, a sofa and chair can match. The choice to match a sofa and chairs is really a matter of preference. General design wisdom recommends against matching your sofa and chairs, however. Juxtaposition can create an interesting sense of diversity in your space — express yourself with a provocative mix of sizes and profiles. Find all kinds of sofas and chairs on 1stDibs to get started.

Accent chairs and sofas can coordinate if they show off similar colors or materials, giving you the freedom to mix and match. Explore a variety of accent chairs and sofas on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
