Would i be in trouble if i use www.lovesony.com as domain name for my website?

It depends what you mean by "be in trouble."   
Trademark rights do not give the owner the right to keep people from using the trademark to simply speak about the owner's products.   The standard for trademark infringement is "likelihood of confusion" so, speaking in general terms, as long as consumers wouldn't likely think a use incorporating someone else's mark implies the mark owner has sponsored the use, there would be no grounds for claiming infringement.

But as to whether the particular large company you're referencing is likely to try to make waves in this sort of context, is another question--in regards to which I'll defer to others currently practicing in domain names.

Kaitlin, you're replying to a spammer who bumped another spam post from five years ago.
