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?

A few weeks ago, I posted some photos of white hydrangeas around my home. While I love the beauty of the white, sometimes I need a pick-me-up with a round of colorful gerber daisies. Typically, I’m not one for mixing and matching colors; I’ll usually buy the bright pink ones in a single bouquet when they go on sale at the grocery store!

But my dear fiance brought me home this sweet arrangement and the brightness it added to our kitchen fit in perfectly with the happy summer feel you get from being lazy by the pool for a few days!

Do you ever decorate with bright gerber daisies? What colors are your favorites?

Estudi Arola created a set of lamps that look like tables, or, a set of tables that function as lamps. And, they even made a bookshelf. I like how you can hang the little one on the wall and use it as a sconce. Photos by Koke Bartrina.

Ideal for small spaces, Tilt is a simplistic, eco-friendly coat and shoe rack.

Made from an oak frame of FSC-certified wood, the Tilt is hand-finished in a Danish oil. The hooks are hand-turned in steel and then covered in a powder white coat. The shelves for shoes are also made from powder-coated steel, and are removable for easy cleaning.

As you can see in the photos, Tilt gets its name from its slight angle. With angled legs, each foot has a rubber piece to prevent slipping and sliding.

Tilt is designed by Lewis Mitchell, a London-based designer.
