#4: Contrast your contemporary home with a comfy sofa

Sofas, like all furniture, should be a fine balance between aesthetics and comfort. And if your home is ruled by clean, contemporary lines, you can juxtapose it with a plush, comfy sofa.

#5: Get a double-duty sofa if you're space serves more than one function

A customised sofa like this design, which is made up of modules that can be put together to form a day bed or separated into footstools, is perfect for a room that serves more than one function.

#9: You don't need a sofa set, just choose those that can complement

Instead of getting a 3+1 sofa set, get individual designs that complement each other well. Case in point: A mid-century style sofa from Lorgan’s The Retro Store with an Eames lounge chair.
