Sofas collect chaos—thrown cushions, half-folded blankets, someone’s charger, crumpled newspaper. Even if the rest of the room is fine, a messy sofa makes everything look off.
Spending one minute aligning cushions in a simple pattern—two on each side, one in the middle, or a symmetrical arrangement you like—magically straightens the whole picture. Add a roughly folded throw over one arm instead of in a pile, and suddenly the room looks “done.”
You didn’t deep clean; you just organised the most noticeable soft elements. It’s a tiny reset with a big visual payoff.
