There are plenty of factors to take in to consideration such as colour and style to make sure it fits in with your living rooms colour scheme. You also have to pick a fabric that you will enjoy spending time on! Leather is often a popular choice due to its stylish appearance and the fact that it is usually easy to mop up those pesky drops and spills on leather.
Fabric sofas on the other hand can be very, very comfy; often more cosy than their leather counterparts.
However, any drops or spills on these types of sofas are stuff of nightmares. A spillage on a fabric sofa needs immediate attention with a damp cloth.
The most conventional style sofas bought are straight up 2 and 3 seater sofas, sometimes with an additional single armchair, but in the last couple of years, corner sofas have become increasingly popular and the trendy or in thing to have in your living room.
Corner sofas are great because they come in any colour or fabrics you want or can come in just about any size you want from 3 seats to say 6, 7 or more! When space is limited, a good choice of corner sofa can make your living room look much more spacious but still over you 3 or 4 seats minimum. On the other hand, if you have lots of space, a large corner group can help fill some of the space, and rein it in a bit.
A new corner sofa can start from as little as a few hundred pounds, all the way up to thousands of pounds from your local sofa store or an online retailer. You can also pick up great bargains on the second hand market on such sites as EBay and Gumtree.
