Before You Buy a Couch: 6 Things You Should Know
1: COLOR IS KEY.
Look for colors that express your personal style or work with colors you already have in your room because color will be the first element you respond to.
2: THE COMFORT TEST.
Once you find the couch you like, test it for comfort. Bounce up and down on the cushions. Make sure you like the feel. After all, you are the one that will be sitting on it.
3: THE DURABILITY TEST.
Wiggle the arms. Do they hold firm, indicating good workmanship? Lift the frame. Does it feel heavy and sturdy?
4: GET THE FEEL.
Examine the fabric. Are the seams straight? Does the fabric line up properly? Does it feel pleasing to the touch?
5: THE PRICE.
Double check the price against other sofas you have looked at. Quality sofas are available in all price ranges.
6: MEASURE IT.
The sofa shouldn't overwhelm your room, but also you don't want it to be dwarfed by the other pieces of furniture.
