Without a good, solid frame, your sofa won't survive the years to come. To find a piece that is built to last, check that the frame is a hard, kiln-dried wood held together with screws and dowels instead of glue and staples. The former will last much longer.

Be with Classic Patterns Styles that utilize classic patterns and clean lines fit into this category. Although trendy patterns can disappear in years, classic patterns don't. From plaids to stripes, you can choose the best one for you. You can also go with furniture with solid colors.

If you like to keep it simple, try to blend your décor with the general tone of the room and couch. Have a mix of monotone colours and contemporary colours or go for a combination of block-coloured cushions if you have a dual-coloured sofa. Cushions are an easy and convenient way to decorate your sofa.
