It’s a big decision to choose a sofa! You can expect to wait 12 to 16 weeks for your new sofa to arrive. This is a big decision. You want it perfect when it arrives.

These are the most common mistakes that sofa-buyers make when buying a sofa.

Your sofa should not be too large or too small to fit into your living space. It also shouldn’t feel too small or too big for you. You should ensure that the seat is comfortable for you if you are tall. You may be able to rise from a seat with ease if you aren’t very tall or have weak knees.

  • You can use chaise sofas in narrow spaces.
  • Corner sofas are great for larger spaces or open-plan areas.

The shape of your sofa should match the proportions in your room.

CHOOSING A RANDOM TYLE

NEITHER GIVING ENOUGH CONSIDERATION OVER THE FABRIC
