Sitting comfortably without losing your style isn't always the easiest thing to do. So, before shelling out megabucks for a swanky designer sofa one should never forget to try it first. Seated of course, but if you can try lying on it as well you'll probably get a better idea.
Because a lounge is useful for so many things : relaxing, watching a good film, passing a lovely afternoon, but also for some tv surfing or a well deserved afternoon nap. An essential piece in any home, it has to complement to the way of life of the entire family.
Shapes, colors and textiles are the ultimate consideration before any purchase. That couch in white leather won't really go with the family with a dog, cat and toddler ? Not sure. And that soft couch
that's weathered so much and adapted completely to your mum's lounge room ? We'll ask her. One has to pay close attention to the measurements of the room and the couch so that the latter doesn't become neither overbearing nor lost in its allocated area.
Leather, fabric or synthetics ? These are some avenues in response to the difficult question of redressing your sofa. Leather, wearing well and in good condition can last for generations.
