The Sofa Dilemma : Designing Around the Comfiest Piece In the Room. Ep #46

We spend so much time on our sofas—resting, reading, gathering, scrolling, and unwinding—but how often do we think about what they're doing for us in return?

In this episode of Your Home by Design, I’m sharing what to look for when choosing a sofa, how to make your current one work better, and why this one piece of furniture has such a big impact on your comfort, mood, and health. I’ll walk you through size, scale, ergonomics, and even a few mistakes I’ve made myself (including one very regrettable black sectional). We’ll talk design psychology, fabric choices, posture, and how to create a space that helps your nervous system relax.

This is a light, practical, and eye-opening conversation—especially if you're shopping for a new sofa or trying to redesign a room around the one you already have.
