Everyone knows the focus of the living room is the all-important, get-it-right-or-else sofa, so we went browsing for the best ones out there…
The living room is in many ways the most important room in the house, the room that sees chill nights and parties, needs to looks good, but also needs to work hard. Which is why the sofa reigns supreme and will define the tone of the room. This is a make-or-break purchase, people.
We think a good sofa must tick three boxes: be comfortable (you’d think this would be obvious but many are a penance to sit on for long); have a good shape, and project a timeless style.
