Ah the sofa... the upholstered beast who is always there when we want to watch our favourite TV programmes, read a book, or generally for slouching on at the weekend.

Every living room scheme tends to be built around this majestic piece of furniture so it is important that you accessorise your sofa accordingly for maximum impact. We have created these sofa styles that are perfect for updating the living room this year: Bright and Bold and Modern Monochrome.
