help picking coffee table
Comments (7)I would size it to serve those sitting on the sectional only, not the chair. Make a simple template out of newspaper for sizes you consider. Measure out 18 inches of legroom from the seat front on both sides of the L of the sectional. Do not go past the start of the sofa arm in length. You may find a rectangle or oval works best, or round or square. I would look for a table with an airy or leggy base rather than a solid base, considering the size of your room. A glass top would let your rug be seen. Front feet of your chair & sofa should be on the rug. If you pull it out more you will see more of the central rug pattern too. Try to plan for layered lighting by adding floor lamps or table lamps. Overhead lighting only is not flattering to people, even on dimmers. A round table with a table lamp would work between the sofa and chair, especially if the chair will remain angled. If you choose a floor lamp, consider a C table for the chair person. It needs to be no higher than the chair arm. These type. https://www.pier1.com/c-tables...See MoreNeed help picking a coffee table

Comments (3)I usually like Noguchi tables for sectionals please get many more panels of drspes for that window and unless you are older no sheers . If you need light control and hest control get solar shades they do both and let you keep the view during the day and at night the proper width drapes will give you privacy....See MoreHelp!

Comments (7)This sounds like a lot of dark. As a proud mud puppy mom (photo included because, well...), I'd encourage you to think about adding easy to clean fabrics in a lighter color. Maybe a white leather ottoman to complement the white pillows you're planning to add? Or something made from a performance fabric, like the stuff Sunbrella makes? We've had a light grey couch for awhile that is a not-so-resilient IKEA fabric, but it's machine washable. That's another direction to go in for a fabric ottoman. I would encourage you to think lighter for the rug, too. We have a light grey, cream, and taupe rug with a lot of irregularity and variety to it, kind of likethis one, but we bought it for a lower price several years ago at HomeGoods. It has survived multiple moves, a renovation, and potty training and it's still nice enough to go into a formal living room space. It looks modern and adds a lightness to the room. Follow up: the rug I included came up when I did a search for modern industrial area rug. You could also look at distressed area rugs....See MoreElite Interiors & Furniture Gallery
