Hi can anyone help please..... We have just had our offer accepted on a new house yay. We will be buying 3 new sofas for our living room - its large and square and they will form a u shape. I have never been able to buy a new sofa before, usually its been a hand me down, from a charity shop or in the case of current one came with now DH.
What do i need to know??? I have 2 young children (1yr and 3yr) but this new house has two living rooms, one is a family/day room and our old leather corner sofa will fit in there nicely.
The second living room i am envisaging as a best living room ( perhaps unrealistically) and have seen a great sofa in next.

Are Next sofas any good? Any other good places to try - budget about £3000 in total. I would like the second living room to have a sumptuous and glamorous look. It has a fireplace that needs a bit of love and then i want to keep furniture to a minimum just some nice side lights and possibly a coffee table or side tables?
What should i be looking for in a sofa? All the terms are beyond me, i want it to look neat and i am not the sort to be frantically plumping cushions everyday.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
