Mind you, size matters in sofa selection. After all, the sofa has to fit well in your living area. Surely, it should not be the only thing visible in your living room. A very common blunder is to purchase an over-sized sofa and realise this mishap only later when fitting the furniture at home.
2 Always pick a style you love
Victorian, vernacular, sleek, modern or a mix of many – choose a style that expresses your way of being. A style is always about you, your likings and your statement. And the living room is one of the best most effective places to express yourself. The sofa for a living room is sizable and also comes with a show-off value.
