If you are looking for a fast way to freshen up your living room, buying a new sofa is a great starting point. Your settee is a big piece of furniture, which makes it a key element of the room. So, if you update your sofa it can make a radical difference to how your living room looks. Plus, as you will see, you can use sofas to get more out of your living room.
Create a snug
A nice big sofa is a very cozy place. Setting two sofas together in a square pattern in a corner, facing the wall, will allow you to cut off that corner from the rest of the room. This creates a nice quiet spot which everyone can use when they want some downtime.
Create a reading corner
You can use a similar approach to create a quiet, reading corner. Just add a floor lamp and a rug. This can also be a good spot for your kid´s to sit and do their homework without being too distracted.
Create an indoor patio
If you have a set of French or patio doors, place a sofa and chair at that end of the room looking out over your outdoor space. When it is too cold to sit outdoors you can still enjoy your garden. Adding some pot plants will help you to create a stronger connection between your garden and your living room. Sitting there really gives you the feeling you are outside.
Turn your sofa into a focal point
Every living room needs a focal point, a spot in the room that draws the eye when you walk into it. Positioning your nice new sofa in the right place and using some interesting cushions and throws to give it an interesting look is the way to do this.
Create an alcove snug
If you have alcoves in your room, consider setting up a sofa there. They look fantastic and are the perfect use of a space that would otherwise go to waste.
Create a nap spot
Having a place in your living room that you can retire to in the afternoons for a nap is handy. Napping is a great way to recharge your batteries. If you want to you can stretch out on an ordinary sofa, but the chaise lounge style ones are far more comfortable.
A doggy-friendly sofa
Dog´s love sofas, but not everyone wants their pets sitting with them. If you have an old sofa or chair you can get it re-covered and let your pets use it. Or, better still use a nice throw to brighten it up. That way, you can pull it off and wash it, every week.
