Try microfiber as it is easy to clean and take care of. If you are worried about stains, try an indoor/outdoor fabric like Sunbrella. I recommend Ultra Guard fabric protection in lieu of Scotch Guard. Stay away from loops and chenilles if you are worried about your dogs and their claws. Solid colors tend to show stains and pet hair, so try looking for patterns or multicolored fabrics. Hope that helped!

I also love the modern sofa. In my house there 2 modern sofa sets which I had bought from a shop Oriental Creativity. Below I have added those sofa designs.

I would say a single sofa is most comfortable for sitting and It can transform the interior of our home. Recently I had ordered one single sofa from Oriental Creativity at a very good price. You can check this design. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Apologies Pro, for speaking on her behalf but I guess she is referring to the alignment of the sofa and TV unit and the viewing angle. If the sofa is placed on the orange wall it has to be done after leaving the door space where as TV is place very near to the wall. Secondly, it will be too much of a viewing distance. Veena, if this is what you meant by 'haywire; it will be better if you share the floor plan with rough dimensions of the sofa and TV unit. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
