If your living room set up consists of two sofas, you can afford to invest in a stylish piece that doesn’t necessarily have to be the most comfortable. A statement two seater velvet sofa is a great choice for a second sofa, especially if you want to incorporate velvet but it isn’t totally suited to you and your family’s lifestyle.
