1. Size<\/strong>. If you\u2019re looking for small living room design ideas, make sure to measure the space so you can know if the sofa you\u2019re picking fits your space. You should also pick something pratical but with a strong design since it will be the start of the room.\u00a0For a big family room, think about how much of the space you want to fill with the sofa. Do you want a couple of sofas, a big sofa with chairs or a sectional?<\/p>\n

2. Where to place it?<\/strong>\u00a0Decide where you will place the sofa. Next to a wall or in the middle of the living room. Do you want to create a social area or just place it in front of a tv? Again, if you have a large sitting room, add some chairs to create multiple seating areas.<\/p>\n

3. Material.<\/strong>\u00a0There\u2019s a bunch of fabrics you can choose from:\u00a0tufted<\/a>,\u00a0leather<\/a>,\u00a0velvet<\/a>,\u00a0cotton<\/a>,\u00a0linen<\/a>, etc\u2026\u00a0If you live alone or with your partner, you can choose any of these materials according to your personal preference. But if you have kids or pets, you should probably avoid velvet, cotton and\u00a0linen since they\u2019re not very durable. Aesthetic is important, but functionality is key when it comes to choosing a material for your sofa. Leather is timeless, durable and gets better with age.<\/p>\n

4. Style<\/strong>. Do you prefer a modern or a classic sofa? Are you a fan of vintage or minimalism? Maybe you like the look of a chesterfield sofa or prefer a sectional.<\/p>\n

5. Color.<\/strong> If you don\u2019t want to experiment with colors,\u00a0go for a neutral. It never goes out of style and by changing the pillows, curtains and some other d\u00e9cor accessories, you quickly change the whole look of your\u00a0modern interior design. But, if you\u2019re a bold person, get a statement sofa that will be the star of your modern interior design.<\/p>\n
