Sofas

Buying a sofa can end up being one of the most significant purchases you make. A sofa is many things. It is what you will probably relax on at the end of a hard day's work. It is what you will invite friends and family to sit on when they drop by for a chat. And it will be the focal point for how your living room looks, the anchor for everything else in your room, more or less.

There are a few important things to really think about before buying a couch, armchair or sofa. First, how much space do I have and what size sofa will fit there? Next, who is going to be using it the most? You may want to choose a neutral colour. Greys and beiges are great for the simple reason that if you want to add a splash of colour you can do so easily with a throw and some scatter cushions. EZ Tip: Throws are a great way of protecting your sofa from fingers covered in jam and peanut butter and are easily washable.

You can also ask yourself if you want to really be able to kick back in comfort and get a recliner sofa. Make sure you have enough room behind the sofa if you do. For more tips and tricks read How To Buy the Right Sofa for Your Home.
