Riga sofa

This sofa is very modern in its design. It is made out of suede and Italian leather. It has straight line designs which confirms to the minimalist look.

Tough it is not entirely minimalist, it is blend with luxury makes it an appealing choice. This sofa would cost you Rs 1,50,000.

Ketan's tips:

• Firstly you cannot blindly go for this look, the practical angle should be considered as well. We Indians do have a habit of collecting and storing a lot of things. Hence the right blend is essential.
• Co-ordination is the key. Make sure that your furniture is co-ordinated with your accessories.
