Q:How far from a sofa should you place a coffee table?

A lot depends on your living room layout, the people using it and how it's used. If you have a large living room with lots of seating, you'll probably want to position the coffee table closer to the center of the area so everyone in the room has easy acess. Same goes for if your using it mainly as a place door some decorations/magazines to sit on, especially if you have end tables right next to the couch to put drinks/the remote/other things you need easy access too. If you have a smaller space, want to put your feet up or actually need the coffee table for keeping frequently used things within reach, then you should put it close to the couch. About 8-24 is usually a good distance to keep everything nearby but it should be far enough away people aren't bumping their legs on it or it's creating too tight of a squeeze when they're trying to sit down.

Q:Is cotton fabric on a sofa durable?

Q:I'm looking for a leather sofa of good quality that will withstand the scratches that may come from having a dog. I've found nice looking sofas at JcPenney but I've also found sofas of a high grade from sofaweb . These sofas are, of course, A LOT more money. Is it worth it OR are leather sofas from JcPenney of a high enough grade to hold up well over time? I'm specifically looking at the Linden Street Langley sofa.

He comprado muchas cosas en los sitios web y en busca de otra cosa he encontrado un sillón que me ha encantada y le he comprado enseguida, el sillón estaba exactamente como en las fotos y encaja perfectamente en mi salón, es confortable y un precio sin igual, seguramente voy a comprar otro.

Q:how do you wash sofa cushions/pillows?what setting or do u not was em? so what u do if they smell?-Mimo

wash the sofa and you'd better bring the sofa out of the room. You can wash using regular detergent or if you have any special cleaning the couch, use it. Special cleaner has been formulated with the well so that it can clean a sofa without destroying it. In the use of detergent, use sufficiently and mixed with water. Stir the mixture of detergent and water until frothy.

Q:There is some creme-white combination in the kitchen as well. We have white roll up blinds on the side windows, olive green wall color and creme sofas. Will white blinds look too strange or add too much contrast or will that contrast look good? The bottom of our wall also has a white (rim?) to it.

Cream and white can look a bit odd, but why not try linking them, by adding some cushions, wth cream, white and a favoured colour combination, say, stripes, or patchwork etc. This will link the two shades, and also add a zinger colour, which it would need. Chocolate and tans wth maybe a lime, or red or something like that would look interesting.....

Q:does anyone know how to hide cats claw marks on the arms of a leather sofa lol!

Q:What's the difference between sofa and couch?

A sofa has arm rest, were a couch does not. After WW2, a lot of GI's could only afford a couch, but would buy the arm rest at a latter day. That is way a lower income person would be a called a couch potatoes, for lack of motivation. Sofas were higher priced. Who has ever heard of a sofa potato?
