If your living room is big enough for creating a whole conversation pit, you might be wondering how to mix and match all the seating furniture here, and most of all, how to mix and match your sofas. As we are living in the era of eclectic and maximalist designs, choosing mix and match furniture is a common idea that will make your space more eye-catching. Here are some ideas to do that with style.
Tie Them Up
Before you choose the sofas, you need to decide how to tie them up. There should be at least one feature that will make them look nice together, that can be style, shape, color or upholstery. Sometimes the couches seem absolutely different but if they both match the style of the room, it’s fine.
