The livingroom is where the family gathers. We spend most of the time bonding with each other in front of the television or plainly conversing with each other. It is also where the family accepts guests and spends time catching up with friends, relatives, and even neighbours. That is why purchasing a furniture set is crucial because it serves as the main showcase of the house.

The main piece of course is the sofa. Here are some tips you may want to think about before buying one for your home. 1. Size: First thing to consider is the size of your room. If you are in an apartment or a condo then you need something that is not overpowering. Take this sectional as an example, The Bulldozer Graphite 2PC Sectional from NCU.

Style: If you want a modern vibe in your home, then a sleek-looking couch would blend right in. Take this sectional as an example: Corey Charcoal 2PC Sectional from NCU!

Colour: Colour is an extension of style, but deserves separate consideration. If you like to continually reinvent your living room—trying new accent pillows, rugs, and curtains on a whim—sticking with a neutral-colored sofa will give you more room to play. If your lifestyle really gives your couch a workout, choose a color or pattern that's more forgiving.

Shape: Choosing the shape of your sofa has as much to do with the size of the room as it does with personal taste. If you're blessed with a wide open space with large windows, a sectional provides ample seating while making the atmosphere a bit cozier. In tight quarters, a loveseat may be the best solution.

Use: What will your sofa be used for most of the time? Is it the center of your media room, or will it be in a more formal space that's reserved for entertaining? Being realistic about your sofa's main function will help guide you in choosing the right one for you.
