How to Choose a Sofa That Fits Your Living Room

Measure the Room, Not Just the Sofa

Before choosing a sofa, measure the room and mark out the sofa's footprint with tape to see how it fits alongside other furniture, doorways and walkways. It's easy to underestimate how much a sofa dominates a room's layout.

Comfort and Practicality

Consider cushion depth and firmness for how you'll actually use the sofa — lounging versus upright seating — and think about fabric durability if the room sees heavy everyday use or pets.
