Investing in one of the best luxury couches feels a lot like investing in a home or a 21-step skincare routine. Even if it hurts your wallet in the short-term, the payoff is so worth it.
Like an eye-catching coffee table book or a bold-yet-work-appropriate suit set, a luxury couch should say something about your personality. Maybe you're obsessed with mid-century modern design and are searching for the perfect pit sectional to fit your aesthetic, or maybe you're a wonderful host who needs a comfortable sleeper sofa. Whatever your interiors personality, “Investing in a statement piece, such as a couch, is not something you’re likely to do every year—you want to ensure that whatever you purchase will have longevity,” Natalie Walton, an interior designer, home stylist, and author, tells BAZAAR.

“Consider how you live," Walton advises. "If you have children or pets, that will have an impact on the type of sofa you’ll select.” Pay special attention to the fabrics used: the kind of person who can drink red wine on a sofa and not spill it can handle a different couch than the person with a muddy dog who jumps on the furniture at every opportunity. Whichever home environment you're working with, there's still an impressive luxury couch on this list for you.
