A friend of mine just moved into a new place and is on the hunt for the perfect sofa. She keeps sending me links and photos, because she just can’t decide. And I totally get it.
Buying a sofa can be an expensive decision, and it’s important that you choose one that’s perfect for you and your home. Or close to perfect – you don’t want to be searching for a sofa for the rest of your life! Whether you decide on a smooth leather sectional sofa or a fabric loveseat, I thought I’d be together a few tips on how to make the decision much easier on you.
First of all, there are a lot of things to consider – like size, shape, fabric, color, and price. Will a sectional fit in the room you want the sofa in or would a sofa set be better? That also ties in with what you prefer – some people love sectionals , some love sofa sets. Or maybe you want a sofa bed to accommodate extra guests?
As for fabric, there are TONS to choose from – different colors and textures – and don’t forget about leather! Leather is nice because it’s super easy to clean, but it doesn’t always provide the coziest feel. Plus, some fabric sofas have removable covers that can be cleaned just as well. With fabric choices come color choices, which is my least favorite part. Most of the time you know what you want, the hardest part is finding it!
Basically, it all comes down to the style you want to give your living room and the shape it can accommodate and then the colors and fabric will all fall into place. [Hopefully!} If you need help with your search, you can select from a range of sofas at ASDA - a great website with tons to offer - from corner sofas to sofa beds!
What has your experience been with choosing a sofa?

Young, Dutch designer Jólan van der Wiel uses a unique process to make these spikey candle holders that resemble cavern formations. Made exclusively for Paris-based Galerie Gosserez , van der Wiel uses a process similar to that of his Gravity Stools, which we’ve already featured here . He uses a contraption that’s essentially a “magnet machine” that makes these objects through the action of a strong magnetic field with a paste that’s a mixture of resin and iron oxides.

Already an internet hit with their mushroom-growing kit , Back To The Roots went from fungi to fish.

Hailing from Wellington, New Zealand, industrial design student James Boock set out to design a table that was inspired by the way vines cling to a structure. The Clip table’s stainless steel legs represent the vines that are clipped onto the wood tabletop structure. Using ecologically treated Accoya pine and legs that attach and remove easily, the table can be flat-packed for easy shipping or just to put away. There’s an industrial simplicity about it that would make it fit in just about anywhere it was placed.

I’m skipping another Weekly Six this week, due to all of the holidays, but they’ll be back in action again next week! And since decluttering is still on my mind from yesterday, I started thinking about all of the other areas in my life that I could declutter – and really, the only major thing aside from my home would be my car!!!!
My car doesn’t quite look the one above – does yours? Usually I keep my car pretty empty – but its the trunk that is the worst part. I’m starting to wish that I had a van – because I could keep it as organized as possible, thanks to this awesome van racking I found. This would actually be perfect for my fiance, who has a van for work. It’s always a mess and this would organize it right up!
Maybe I could fit some of those van racks in my trunk somehow. Until then, I’m going to plot my life decluttering plan – from home to my car to my fiance’s van!
Have you thought any more about decluttering your life?
