Interior Designer Tips for Styling Electric Recliner Sofas

Styling an electric recliner sofa well comes down to proportion, layering and clever concealment. Interior designers tend to choose a slim, tailored recliner that looks like a standard sofa when upright, ground it with a generously sized rug, frame it with layered lighting at different heights and keep cables and mechanisms out of sight.
