Buying your first sofa is quite a commitment and investment. You must consider how comfortable the sofa is, whether it will fit in with your overall décor as well as the sofa's size.

Before making the decision, consider this:

The materials used for the structure of the sofa will determine the longevity and the up-keep, purchase a sofa that is durable and made of a hard-wood or perhaps even metal.

Decide on a material that has longevity and is easy to clean in case of emergency.

It is important to ‘test drive’ the sofa for comfort purposes by sitting or lying on it before purchase.

Yes, we want a designer piece, but you also need something that will last you at least 10 years, no matter how many times you update the look of your home.

You need to decide on your home’s style and décor before buying your first sofa.

Determine what the perfect size for your home will be and look for something with an affordable price tag.
