One of the most used pieces of furniture is the sofa. Its no wonder we want to make sure we are getting a good one. Also they tend to be a big bulk of our decorating budget. So how do you get a sofa that is going to last the stages (single, married, kids, crazy) of life.
3 tips:
1- Make sure its solid to stand the test of time. Check the frame, the foam and the material.
2- Try to stay in the neutral family. You can always change pillows and accessories later.
3- Make sure you LOVE it!
My family and I have been though several couches. I want style and my husband wants function. So we ended up with a dark leather sofa with modern lines and some tufting for style. I have to say its a win, win. for both of us. Its super comfortable and probably the softest leather I have ever felt.
AND...we didnt spend a fortune! We found this one on Craigslist for $500. I looked it up, like I always do, when we got it home and it was $2500! Its Italian leather and its very solid in construction.
