A sofa set is a big commitment – literally and figuratively. Firstly, it is placed in a room that everyone has their eyes set on – the living room. Secondly, not only the members of the family but also the guests are seated and entertained on this particular sofa set, it can make or break the impression you and your house have. It also is an important factor in setting the overall ambiance and the look of the living room. This sofa set would be the focal point of the living room and therefore, having the perfect sofa that would align with the décor, provide comfort, and look great in the house becomes the primary concern. 

In today’s times, a modern sofa set design can come in several options, looks, and makes. Selecting the one that would go best with the room can be a tedious task. Here are a few guidelines you can keep in mind while you are choosing the ideal sofa set for your home:

1. Space – First and foremost, keep in mind the amount of space you have in the living room to place the sofa. You would have to ensure that the sofa does not take up the entire space or get lost in the décor. You can also choose a sofa set that would fit into the walls of the house – for example, an L-shaped one. The goal would be to make full use of the available space. In this scenario, a wooden sofa cum bed would also be a great choice. If the space is small, you can choose a two-seater sofa that won’t make the space look too cluttered.
2. Décor – In case the living room is already decorated, adding a sofa set that would go with the décor would only make sense. All the elements in the room would need to complement each other. For a minimalistic living room look, you can opt for a modern décor. White, grey, and beige-colored sofas would be elegant and graceful. For a traditional house, choose wooden sofas for a rustic look.
3. Material – The options in materials are also plenty. Fabric, leather, etc you can choose any of them based on what you prefer along with their advantages and disadvantages. To choose comfort, the fabric would be the best option as you can also play around with the ambiance by changing the covers or adding cushions and pillows. Leather sofas last for longer and are low-maintenance. They are often sold in the most basic shades but can look good with a modern interior. 
4. Storage – You can also consider the amount of extra storage space you might require in your house and how you can make maximum use of the elements in the house to use for storage. A sofa set can also come with a built-in storage facility that may promote a decluttered look. You can keep different items like linens, crockery, decorative items, books, papers, and many other items in the storage space offered by the sofa.

Along with these, another major factor would be the budget. Ensure that you get what you are looking for at the best price and in ample designs so that you can make your pick.
