First, decide on the type of seating arrangement you’d like for your living room. Whether you’re replacing old, worn items or are redoing your living room for a fresh, clean look, ask yourself what you want the atmosphere of your living room to look and feel like. Decide whether one sofa is enough to suit your seating capacity needs or if you need both a sofa and loveseat to seat your extended or growing family. For some, a sectional is the most logical choice, allowing you to create L-shapes, U-shapes and other combinations in your living room for the utmost in contemporary personalization. Once you have an idea of what you’d like as a setup in mind, it’s time to start shopping materials and styles.

In most cases, you can customize your sofa, loveseat or sectional from start to finish. Many sofas and sectionals offer a quick-ship option, which means that you can choose a fabric and style that is guaranteed to arrive at your door in a certain amount of time. If you’re not in a hurry to furnish your space, there are many more fabrics to choose from. Many quick-ship options include tweeds and basket-weave fabrics, while other fabric options allow you microfiber, linen and more. You can even customize your colors, choosing everything from subtle neutrals and grays to dark blues and bright reds and yellows. All of our sofas, loveseats and sectionals are made from the finest materials, with many of the products being made right here in the USA. Solid wood construction and luxurious, soft fabric ensure that your living room furniture stands up to years of both wear and enjoyment, even if you also have toddlers, teenagers or pets in your home.

Beyond fabric-covered furniture, there are other soft and comfortable options such as leather to enliven your space while adding comfort. Opt for modern and contemporary leather styles, many offering a retro look that immediately takes you back to the 1950s and 1960s. Choose leather sofas that stand on wooden or metal legs for an urban look, or sofas with a timeless Chesterfield design, which also work well in your home office.

For a contemporary look that also offers extra room for sleeping arrangements, opt for a comfortable sleeper sofa. Built to last for many an overnight guest, these sofas easily fold out to sleep one to two extra persons, which is a great feature if you’re short on guest room space. If you’re simply looking for a little room to stretch your own legs out, opt for a sectional or build-your-own sectional with an included recliner. Or choose a sofa or sectional with a chaise.
