1) Pick the right fabric for real life

Rule of thumb:

  • Tight-weave fabrics = durable, family-friendly, less snagging.

  • Velvets/chenilles = richer look, brush marks are normal; vacuum with a soft brush.

  • Leather-look = easy wipe, check stitching/edge wear on high-traffic spots.

2) Pets, kids, and snack nights: colour & texture choices

Go for: mid-tone colours, mottled/texture weaves (hide crumbs/prints better), removable cushions where possible.
Avoid: very pale fabrics in TV rooms unless you’re happy to spot-clean often.

3) Multi-use spaces: sofa beds = function first

If the living room doubles as a guest room, pick a sofa bed with a smooth mechanism and check clearance in front before opening.
Care tip: keep sheets in a nearby ottoman/sideboard; vacuum fabric before/after guest use.

4) Five-minute care routine (weekly)

  • Vacuum seams & under cushions with a soft brush.

  • Blot spills immediately (dab, don’t rub); mild soap + water for most fabrics.

  • Rotate/flip cushions weekly to spread wear.

  • Sunlight check: reposition occasionally to avoid UV fading on one arm.

  • Feet & frame: tighten loose legs; protect floors with pads/rugs.
