The sofa is the main and probably the most important piece of furniture in your living room. It will be in the main sitting area in your house and your kids will pretty much grow up with it. It only makes sense to choose the right sofa based on your living room space, style, and budget. For your main sofa, there are a hundred different styles to choose from. Some common examples are Bridgewater, Lawson, mid-century modern, camelback, slipper, Chesterfield, club Knole, and tuxedo.

Do not forget the importance of the fabric or materials. You can choose from cotton, linen, wool, microfiber, velvet, cotton/poly blend, leather and faux suede. If you have young children and pets, you might want to consider materials that are stain resistant and durable. If you have limited space, you can opt for a loveseat, sleeper sofas, sectionals, and chaises instead of a large sofa. Keep in mind that your sofa is the focal point and the most used living room furniture. With all the activity in your living room, it is prone to rip, stain, burn and scuff. Choosing the right style and material is very important.

You can add accent chairs such as armchairs, occasional chairs, upholstered ottomans, recliners, benches and stools. Usually, they have an eye-catching or shapely design. Aside from providing personality and extra seating, accent chairs make a great addition to your living room because they are moveable pieces that can pair well with existing sofas and couches.

For a more diverse selection, you can opt to use couches and chairs that are designed using abstract shapes and methods. Some look like reclinable space chairs, while others look like car seats. Others are made to look like balls of yarn or egg-shaped armchairs.
