• We always try to make creature comforts
  available.
• We install air-conditioners to make the
  surrounding temperature comfortable, put water
  heaters for hot water, and buy the best and
  coziest furniture in the house.
• Amongst the stuff that we put in the drawing
  room, a couch is quite essential. It is
  comfortable and adds elegance to the drawing room.

• However, many people get confused between a couch
  and a sofa. Hence, they make an incorrect
  selection while buying.
• Keep aside homeowners, even designers and
  architects also misunderstand sometimes. They use
  the terms loosely without understanding the
  context.
• Are you also confused about it and cant
  differentiate between the two? If yes, then read
  this blog to get a fair idea.

The difference is small, but it is there!

• Yes, it is a fact that the difference between a
  couch and sofa is not very distinctive. That
  doesnt mean the sofa and couch are the same.
• A sofa
• Technically a sofa is an upholstered bench. It
  has cushions,space where more than two people can
  sit, and it has two arms.
• Whether it is sectional or loveseat, the sofa
  offers several comfortable seating choices. The
  word sofa is an accepted word for the seating
  arrangement described just now.
• The confusion begins when some people wrongly
  refer a sofa as couch without realizing its
  specifications.
• It is essential to see the style, setting, and
  size of the sofa before referring it a couch.

A couch

• Though people call a small-sized, casual sofa as
  a couch, it is critically important to look at
  some critical differences.
• The origin of the word couch is from the old
  French verb couche which means to lie down.
  It creates an image in your mind.
• It is like a chaise lounge with one or no arms.
  Fundamentally, you can lie down on a couch and
  you cant sleep on a sofa.
• Still, people use the terms interchangeably
  because people have been doing it for years.

Conclusion

• Since the two pieces of furniture dont have a
  notable difference in style, size, and
  construction people misunderstand them as one.
• There is no great harm in having a misconception
  unless you are looking for a specific thing in
  your drawing room.
• The problem happens when you get a couch in the
  drawing room instead of a sofa, or a
  vice-a-versa. Therefore, you are supposed to
  precisely tell whether you need a sofa or a couch
  to the interior designer or contractor.
