'When choosing a sofa, colour is one of the most important decisions as it sets the tone for the living room,' says Madgdalena Gierasinska, head of product and displays at Barker and Stonehouse. 'Start by looking at the existing colours in your walls, flooring and soft furnishings so the sofa complements the space rather than clashes.

'Test fabric swatches in natural and artificial light to see how the colour changes throughout the day. If you entertain frequently or have children and pets, select a shade that can hide wear and stains, such as burnt orange or rich navy. Alternatively, if you want to create a lighter and more uplifting feel, choose gentle, airy shades such as dusty rose or pale sage that brighten the space while remaining elegant.'
