When moving into an apartment or home, your main focus is saving up enough money to make your purchase. However, your living space isn’t complete until you outfit it with furniture. Couches and recliners come in many different colors and designs. No matter what your taste or budget, there is living room furniture designed with you in mind.
Living room furniture takes a lot of abuse. From watching Netflix to entertaining guests to reading to playing video games, many of us spend hours on our couches every day. In fact, the average person sits on their couch for four hours a day.
Many of us also dine on our couches – and not once in a while. Many of us eat 13 meals on our couches every month. Eating on the couch may be convenient, but it can also be messy. During its lifetime, the average sofa suffers 1,663 spills.
Chances are, it’s time for you to consider a furniture purchase. Sofas last 7-15 years, while the average recliner lasts about a decade if well cared for. Many of us delay furniture purchases, however, because of the price. Typically, furniture is one of the most expensive things a person will buy in their life, after a house and a car.
On your next furniture purchase, try something elegant. Luxury Italian leather sofas may be pricey compared to other types of furniture, but they add a classy touch to any home. Believe it or not, leather furniture is quite easy to care for. Unlike cloth furniture, which stains easily, luxury Italian leather sofas require only a conditioner every 6-12 months. Simply wipe up spills with a clean cloth and you’ll keep your furniture looking like new for many years.
While many people will consider used furniture, most people – 60% – will buy only new furniture, and for good reason. Your furniture creates an impression to visitors who enter your home. A modern sofa or sectional couch is a great way to show guests that you enjoy the finer things in life and value both comfort and quality.
High end furniture costs more than other types of furniture, but it makes up for it with comfort, fine tailoring and durability. In fact, luxury Italian leather sofas tend to get even better with age. Consider spending a little more on your next furniture purchase. Your home will never be the same.
