When taking measurements of the space for the sofa, make adjustments for the extra space that you will be comfortable with around the furniture and also for coffee or side tables that you want to use with it.

Choose a sofa that goes well the design of your living room and likewise complement existing furniture such as tables or media consoles. Or use your new sofa to create a whole new look for your living space.

You can also choose a contrasting color and fabric to add a distinctive texture to the overall look of the living room. Whichever way you choose a fabric for your sofa, always trust your own taste.
