TIPS ON CHOOSING A SOFA

  2. Size of the sofa should be adjusted to the size of the room, if you have narrow space just use small-sized sofa / small with a simple form.

But in general, it is recommended to choose neutral colors like white, black, beige, khaki, or gray, because the colors are very easily paired with other colors in the room. These colors are also last a long time against the trends that come and go.
