Make Your Living Room a Multi-Functional Space

Your living room can perform double duty if you plan well. A versatile space will incorporate several must-haves: storage space; a sleeper sofa such as our Victoria model; modular seating that you can separate and move; a room divider such as a screen or a end table. You can count on your cats to take up the best spots on the sofa.

Choose the Right Furniture and Accents

The appropriate furniture collection forms the foundation of your living room. Large pieces in neutral colors are central to the design and practicality of the space. You can introduce your sense of style by incorporating tables, rugs, wall art and other accessories that express your taste.

Select the Right Fabrics

You want to choose easy-to-maintain and washable furniture made of woven or nubbly fabrics that hide stains better than flat, smooth upholstery. Add style and comfort and brighten up the room with vibrant accents such as throw pillows in assorted colors and textures that make the room cheerful and establish character.
