3 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Sofa for Your Home in Western North Carolina

Posted on April 7th, 2026 by High Country Furniture. 



Selecting the Wrong Size Rug to Pair with Your Sofa


 




 


 


It can feel overwhelming trying to make sure the rug fits the size of your sofa, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! 
First, think of the rug as more of a frame for your sofa. You want something that accentuates the look of the sofa and 
doesn’t overpower it. To do this, you really must consider the size of the room and the way you want the room to feel. 
In general, the 2/3 rule is a rule many designers rely on, and for good reason! The amount of rug left visible on your 
floor with the sofa on top of it should equal 1/3 the total length of the sofa or wall. This ensures the sofa will be at 
least 2/3 the size of the rug, wall, or seating area. It will keep your space balanced without your rug appearing to
be “floating.” This is often something many people looking for sofas forget about until after purchasing their sofa.

At High Country Furniture in Waynesville or Hendersonville, NC, this is a problem you won’t have to experience because
of our fantastic in-house designers. You can tell them exactly what your style is and leave the rest to them! 
Curating your home to feel how you want it to feel is what we do best. 


Trying to Match Leathers Instead of Contrast Colors in Your Space




 


Have you ever been in a room that feels empty but isn’t? There’s a good chance there wasn’t much contrast in the room. 
Matching your sofa to other existing pieces can make your room feel bland and boring. Contrast plays a vital role when 
choosing your sofa and can make your room have much more visual interest. Instead of a sea of beige, adding diverse pieces 
will take your room from “cookie cutter couch” to “designer inspired.” 



Being Too Scared to Play with Patterns or Different Textures




 


Experiment and find your own style! Choose a color palette that you love, choose the tone, and then look for patterns and textures that represent
the feeling and tone in your space. Mixing materials like velvet and leather on your sofa might not seem like your first instinct, but you may 
realize you love it! It may just be exactly what your space needs for a modern touch. Many people worry that if they have a patterned piece with other patterns in the room, these could end up clashing instead of collaborating. 
However, it’s often just the opposite. Multiple patterns in one space can build off one another in a way that unanimously ties your room together. If you’re looking for other designer tips and tricks, come visit one of our luxury furniture stores in Western North Carolina!
