Measure your living room and the area around
Measure your living room and the area where you want to place the sofa. You don't want to buy a sofa that is too big or too small for your room. Make sure you leave enough space for other furniture and walking paths. It is recommended to leave at least 75 to 90 cm of space around the sofa, to walk comfortably. A coffee table in front of the sofa should be 35 to 45 cm away from the sofa, so you can easily reach your drinks or snacks.
Decide on the shape and style of the sofa
Decide on the shape and style of the sofa that suits your needs and preferences. Do you want a sectional sofa that can accommodate more people and create a cozy corner? Or do you prefer a classic sofa that can fit in any decor? Think about the colour, material, and design of the sofa as well, and how they match with your existing furniture and accessories.
Remember to consider the comfort and durability
Consider the comfort and durability of the sofa. You want a sofa that is comfortable to sit on and easy to maintain. Look for sofas that have high-quality cushions, springs, and frames, and that are made of fabrics that are stain-resistant, washable, or removable. Test the sofa before you buy it, and make sure it feels good to you.
Ask for recommendations from friend and family
Compare prices and reviews of different sofas online or in stores. You want to get the best value for your money, so look for sofas that offer good quality, functionality, and aesthetics at a reasonable price. You can also ask for recommendations from friends or family who have similar tastes as you.
