Choosing the Perfect Sofa: Part 1

The sofa is the foundation upon which all other living room furniture considerations are built, so making the wrong choice can be frustrating and costly. Read our dos and don'ts before you go shopping and you'll have no problem choosing the perfect sofa!

Large and small of it. Don't even think of starting to shop for a sofa until you've measured and determined the maximum width your room and doorways can handle. Nothing will ruin your day like watching the delivery people taking your sofa back to the store because it didn't fit. "Standard" sofa widths can vary from 74 to 90 inches, so determine the ideal size for your living room before shopping. At only 77" wide, the Nob Hill leather sofa from Zocalo is a stylish choice for smaller spaces.
