If there’s space for more than one sofa in a living room, matching furniture might be the instinctive choice. But, do sofas really need to match? While a pair of identical sofas can look elegant, putting together different sofas is also a legitimate option, and can look a little more modern in a lot of instances. The effect will be different from matching, of course, but it can add character to the room and show off your personal style.
A haphazard pairing isn’t the answer, however. For design success selecting the best sofas for a room does require some consistency between the two designs even though they aren’t a matching pair.
