All it starts with a sofa.

It all begins with your first item, whether it’s your parents’ old couch or your own brand-new sofa. Therefore, consider the following ideas as you picture your very first sofa:

How many pets and/or kids do you intend to have?

What kinds of gatherings are you planning, and how many do you picture dozing off on the couch?

Or perhaps all you have in mind is to relax with your spouse while wearing something casual, watching the TV, and eating popcorn.

How does the sofa appear in each of these instances? a little couch? A three-seat sofa? a chaise longue and an L-shaped sofa?

Does it feature low, square armrests on which you can rest your remote control or comfy round armrests on which you can rest your head without using a pillow?

Even if it might be a part of a complete set, you’ve chosen to start with only one item and add the others later.

As a general rule, I try to choose items that are both cozy and simple to modify for my particular living circumstances.

When moving in a new place:

Create a plan and organize your new home. How much additional room will you have? This will show you how much furniture you can accommodate in your living room and what kinds of things it needs.

Inspect your couch. Is it still in decent shape? Do you need to buy a new sofa altogether, or might it use a few little repairs here and there? You can use this to decide whether to put your old couch in your new living space.

Consider your sofa as a piece of a set that you are assembling. Here is a breakdown of the various components that all sofas essentially consist of to make planning simpler:

single seating area, armless seats, and armchairs

components for a loveseat or two-seater sofa

3 seat sofa/parts for 3 seats

Components for chaise lounges

Footstool, ottoman, etc.

It’s a matter of assembling the elements that you believe will function best for your regular daily activities, much like with your first sofa.

You may begin fine-tuning what you want your sofa to be once you have a general notion of what you want.

Your sofa’s parts should complement one another, so it’s up to you to make the whole thing appear and feel cohesive. A perfect set must fit together flawlessly in every way to be considered perfect.
