It's the centrepiece of the living room and gets a lot of use, so choosing a sofa that looks good and feels cosy is important. But don't underestimate the potential that styling can bring – a sofa will look bare without accessories and over cluttered with too many. When it comes to styling a sofa, it's all about finding the perfect balance, and it goes beyond throws and cushions. To achieve a cohesive look, think about the surrounding area, such as plants, floor lamps and a rug.
