Invest in good quality upholstery furniture. Sofas and chairs are something you use everyday so if they are resistant and good quality, they will last you longer. Pick a sofa with modern and sophisticated lines to make it look luxurious even if the fabric is not high-end.

A white sofa might not be the best option but you don’t need to pick a dark sofa either. Opt for a leather sofa which is timeless and resistant. If you’re not into leather, opt for a strong and vibrant color with a touchable texture.

Add layers of texture. Patterned pillows make a sofa stand out and also make it look comfier and cozy. Adding a carpet is also a great way to make your living room more inviting. It’s also helpful is you have small kids.

Make space for kids. Save some space in your living room for your kids to do what they enjoy, playing.
