Custom sofas offer flexibility that is unmatched, but choosing the right type of custom sofa for your living room can be tricky.

Sometimes having lots of choice can feel overwhelming, so we’ve put together this guide of the top 5 best sofas for living rooms in 2025.

Let’s jump right into it.

1. Alton Catalina Linen Sofa

When we want a sofa that feels genuinely tailored, the Alton Catalina Linen Sofa from DreamSofa is a standout choice. With its clean lines, low profile, and plush cushions, this sofa brings a touch of mid-century design into our living spaces.

We love how every detail is customizable. From choosing fabrics and finishes to adjusting dimensions, we can create a sofa that perfectly matches our room and preferences. Whether we need a cozy loveseat or a sprawling sectional, the options feel nearly limitless.

Comfort is a clear priority. The Alton’s cushions offer support without feeling stiff, and the wooden base adds a subtle, modern edge. Caring for it is simple too—removable cushions make cleaning or flipping them a breeze.

With fast delivery and a lifetime warranty, it’s easier for us to invest in a piece that feels personal and built to last.

2. Amsterdam Sofa

When we want a modern touch without sacrificing comfort, the Amsterdam Sofa is worth a look. Its low-profile frame and tailored cushions fit nicely into both small apartments and larger living rooms.

We like that it’s available in a range of fabrics and colors, so there's flexibility for our personal style. The solid wood base adds subtle character without drawing too much attention.

This sofa feels supportive, especially with its medium-firm seat cushions. We also appreciate the spacious seating, which makes it a practical choice for families and gatherings.

3. Hamburg Sofa

The Hamburg Sofa offers a modern look with sleek lines and eye-catching flared arms that make it stand out in any living space. We love the way its clean design brings an understated elegance, enhanced further by the plush back cushions and shiny metal legs.

Personalization is at the core of the Hamburg Sofa. We get to pick our size, fabric, comfort level, and even add features like a sleeper bed. With over a thousand fabrics and several comfort options, tailoring this sofa to fit our preferences is simple.

Maintenance is straightforward, with removable cushions for easy rotation, and a wide range of care tips provided. We appreciate how the Hamburg Sofa combines American-made quality, straightforward customization, and quick delivery. For those of us wanting a tailored fit and a fresh look, this sofa is a strong contender.

4. Turin Sofa

The Turin range from DreamSofa follows our theme of customizable sofa design, with an almost endless list of configurations that can meet the needs of any modern, busy living room.

This sofa, in a classic two-seater layout, is the perfect complement to a living room and can be designed with a range of colors from Cosmo Turquoise (our personal favorite) to Jade and much more.

5. Alps Sofa

The Alps Sofa brings together comfort and modern design. We like how its clean lines and plush seating work well in both small and large living rooms.

We can choose from multiple fabric options, including soft velvet and durable polyester. Its customizable size helps us find the right fit for our space.

We’ve found that the cushions offer firm yet comfortable support. The sturdy wooden frame gives the Alps Sofa a solid feel without making it too heavy to move.

How to Choose the Perfect Custom Sofa

When picking out a custom sofa, it's important to think about our space, how we live, and what materials will suit our needs. Design features and layout options can make a big difference in comfort and style.

Assessing Your Space and Lifestyle

It’s very important to measure out the space where you want your custom sofa to be placed before ordering a sofa.

Once you know you have the right amount of space, lifestyle choices are important to think about as well.

If you’re planning to entertain guests regularly, a more durable sofa material would make sense.

Key Fabric and Material Options

We have a variety of fabrics to choose from, including:

• Leather

• Cotton

• Linen

• Microfiber

• Velvet

These, of course, have their own benefits. Leather, for example, is very durable and provides an elegant look, but can be prone to scratches.

Design and Configuration Choices

Design and configuration are obviously very important when it comes to custom sofas.

When going through the custom design process, we need to make sure we consider the size of the sofa, as well as other things like the height of the arms and leg finishes.
