Made-to-measure sofas

• For sofas and chairs, rather than fixed covers opt for slip-on sets in breathable, natural fabrics - such as cotton. To clean, just machine wash. And for a "new" sofa, simply change to a set in another colour.
• When deciding cushion height, width and density ensure the tallest and smallest members of your household test out the comfort level.
• Choose designs and fabrics carefully. A home with sleek lines and white walls will benefit from a sofa fabric with a loud pattern, while an already crowded room needs a less-busy fabric.
• Local manufacturers often offer better materials at cheaper prices, as they don't operate in retail stories. Buy smart and go direct!
