The sofa is the most used and longest-lasting piece in the living room. Keep these points in mind when choosing one.
1. Measure first
Measure the wall, door widths and walkways. Make sure the sofa will fit through the door.
2. Try the seat depth
Sit on it in the showroom: deep seats are for lounging, shallower seats for sitting upright.
3. Choose fabric for how you live
With children or pets, go for stain-resistant, easy-clean fabrics.
4. Ask about the frame
A solid wood frame lasts longer.
5. Think long-term about colour
A neutral base with colourful cushions lets you change the look easily.
6. Agree delivery and assembly
Confirm the delivery time and whether assembly is included at the start.
