Should I get an armchair or a sofa?

The difference between a sofa and armchair is function and size after all!Space is a huge consideration when it comes to furniture, obviously a sofa is bigger than an armchair - so for a smaller space, go for an armchair. If you’re looking for a piece for your living room, but you haven’t got the space, a two seater sofa is perfect.

A bold mix of colours, patterns and fabrics in a range of design styles can have just as much impact as a carefully selected mix of stylish mid-century sofas.
