Sofas are the jeans of your living room. Both are the building blocks of their respective domains and both come in an impressive array of styles. This year, it’s all about going bold.

This buttery leather sofa with chrome hardware is a vintage score (scour your local thrift shops or sites like 1stdibs and Chairish to find an original), but the idea of exposed metal legs in lieu of wood or upholstered ones is so refreshing—and totally co-optable.
