The sofa The sofa is the centrepiece of the living room for so many reasons! It welcomes us after a long day's work, it makes for a convivial aperitif with friends and, above all, it adds character to the interior design. When it comes to the crucial stage of buying a sofa, the choice can be difficult! You need to decide on the size (two, three, four places...), the shape (round or square), the colour (plain or coloured), the material (fabric, leather...), the style (Scandinavian, Scandinavian, Italian, French...) and so on. A real headache if you don't know exactly what you want! If you are currently in this situation and if you recognise yourself in these few lines, our selection of 10 ideas for the right sofa is made for you!
