There are seemingly an infinite amount of options for choosing the right new sofa for your living room. Though you may think you know exactly what you want, it can be overwhelming once you walk into the store, so here are a few suggestions that may help you in your search.
- Color your room: Knowing what color or pattern your room can handle is definitely a hindering factor. If your room is already full of bright accessories, maybe a more neutral toned couch is advisable to avoid clashing. However, if your room is lacking in color, maybe make a bold step and invest in that stylish patterned piece that caught your eye. Your living room will look more alive and eclectic with its addition.
- Tailored to your needs: Deciding what kind of upholstery you want is a major consideration for most buyers. Aesthetic appeal is very important, but so is comfort. Though you may love the look of that suede sofa, if you have small children or pets, it may not be the most practical option for you home. Instead, try looking at sturdy, yet comfy, leather sofas for both their durability and style. Additional tip: Remember to buy your couch for who will be using it, if it's only you using it or it's going in a room that's rarely used then splurge for that super-chic print or unique design but if it will see use everyday by many people then be sure to ask about and spend a little more or durability and quality points (which are all on the inside).
- Perfectly nap-sized: If you are an avid couch napper or have a tendency to fall asleep during late night movie watching, consider buying a couch that best fits your nap needs. Don't buy a couch that is just slightly long enough to barely stretch out, try aiming at buying one that gives you plenty of room to spread out and deep enough so as not to fall off easily. Also know what shape suits you best, such as a L-shaped sectional for more length, or a traditional three-cushion seater.
