First of all consider the size of your sofa. If you have a bigger living room, you'll need to make decision how much space your couch should fill. Maybe you want to include other couches or some chairs and coffee table? If so, a simple sofa, or one with L-shape is probably the best fit.
But if you're looking for a sofa that will be the focal point of your room, choose sofa in rounder shapes that take up a bit more space and provide a lot of seating for you and your guests.
On the contrary, if you have a small living room, you'll need a smaller sofa. With less space, any sofa is going to be in the spotlight. Because of this it's important to pick something that is practical, but also have unique design that complements the rest of the space.
Next important thing is to decide exactly how the sofa will be oriented. Successfully organizing a living space starts with analyzing your lifestyle. Ask youself a question - what do you do the most in that space? Do you like sitting in front of the TV? If so, make sure your couch faces that direction. Do you love hosting games ? Create a semi circle around a central coffe table.
Next, determine which shape will suit the room best. Now that you've decided your sofa's function, it's time to figure out which shape will help it fulfill that purpose. A clean L-shape is great for open areas that need to be divided, for example separating the living room from the dining room.
Research upholstery materials. Which will be best for you? Design is important, but functionality is key when it comes to choosing a material for your sofa. Maybe you want plush, white suede sofa which looks great but have some serious disadvantages, because suede can be a poor choice if you have pets or small children who will cause some damage.
Last but not least - pick a color. Upholstering furniture has become a relatively inexpensive option for anyone who wants to personalize a piece of furniture. So don't be afraid to do so if you want some exotic color or pattern.
