If you're unsure where to begin in your search for the perfect recliner or living room furniture set, give some thought to the following ideas:

• Color: You may consider repainting your living room after you've furnished it, or you might simply stick with your existing color. Look for pieces that complement the overall color scheme of the room. For example, a pale or pastel-toned wall may work well with a light-colored recliner, as opposed to one that is dark and dramatic. If your walls are a bright, modern color, then old-fashioned end tables may not flatter the room's overall appearance.

• Contrast: Following a certain “theme” doesn't necessarily mean that everything must match. Contrasting pieces, such as a dramatic black sofa and an edgy white end table, can look posh and fashionable.

  

• Quality: Choosing a sofa or recliner really boils down to its quality. It may look fabulous, but if it isn't made well, it's not worth the investment. Pay attention to critical details, such as the frame and legs, and opt for strong wood as opposed to less reliable materials like particleboard or plastic.

• Fabric: How does that recliner actually feel when you're reclining? If it's not comfortable and supportive, continue your search. Quality living room sofas and recliners are made with durable fabric that is either stain resistant or can be treated.
