How to Choose the Perfect Sofa and Loveseat Set for Your Home

A sofa and loveseat set is one of the most versatile ways to furnish a living room, giving you more flexibility than a single large sofa and a more cohesive look than mixing unrelated pieces. Choosing the right one, though, involves more than picking a colour you like. In this step by step guide we walk through each stage of the decision, starting with how your household really uses the room and how to measure your space and access route accurately. We then compare L shaped, facing and floating layouts, explain seat depth, seat height and cushion fillings, and show what to look for in frame and suspension construction.
