Under the newly-placed Christmas quilt, that belonged to Winnie's mother, is a slightly baggy burgundy slip cover. And under that is a beige floral sofa bed from fifteen years ago. That floral is not a good look, even I know that.
But, what to do? I know nothing about picking out a sofa these days. Previously, it was easier. I just went to the small local furniture store and picked one out. It always looked nice and ok, if not wonderful.
I find furniture placement in my Cape Cod living room to be awkward at best. Sometimes I look through pictures of neighborhood houses for sale to see how those living rooms look, but they are no better than mine.
And where do I find a small local furniture store? There is one near by but it's out of my price range. And I still don't know what would look good.
For the holidays, I'm happy with this quilt arrangement. For the summer, I got a white bed cover, which will look nice on a bed but won't appear on the sofa again.
I also need a mattress, maybe I'll just get that and forget the sofa. But goodness, mattresses are even more confusing.
Does anyone have words of wisdom?

With mattresses you go and try them out. G tried out all of them until he found his favorite.
As to a small room and a sofa. My daughter went with a 96 inch long one that fills one whole side of the room and no room for anything but a sofa table.
If it was ME--I'd buy a selection of chairs (or all the same)--nice cozy and comfortable. Some with an ottoman for extra guests to sit on or for when you want to put up your feet. I'd set the chairs in a circle with the ottoman in the center. Fill the room with plenty of room to walk along the walls to get from room to room.
