Buying Guide
Start with the room layout. A compact living room usually works best with a clean three-seater sofa, a narrow coffee table and a wall-mounted TV unit. Larger rooms can use an L-shape sofa, accent chairs and side tables to create a conversation zone. Check walking space around furniture, seat depth, cushion density and the height relationship between sofa and center table. For high-use homes, choose solid wood framing and fabrics that are easy to maintain.
