Sofas are not just about comfort. If it was, reclining sectional couches would’ve been the norm (yay for couchsurfers, nay for art directors). A sofa’s looks should play an equally big role when it comes to deciding on one that goes with your living room’s design, so here are some tips that’ll help you pick the perfect seat.
1. This retro-futuristic lime green sofa works as a lively accent for the monochromatic common area.

2. Keep things classy by pairing a light tan leather chesterfield with white marble floors.

3. One clever way to define a roomy balcony is by echoing the L-shape windows with an L-shaped sofa.

4. 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. 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.

6. Statement designer pieces like the Magister sofa by Flexform can stand on its own, even without fancy home accessories – just give it plenty of space to “breathe”.

7. Sofas can be used to divide an open-plan space as well, but ensure that you choose a design that looks equally interesting from the back.

8. Maximise the bay window area by customising a sofa over it.

9. 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.
