I have an unusual shaped living room and we are trying to furnish it. We've fell in love with a couch but I think it may be too big at 293x218cm. Does anyone have any thoughts? Rough 3D design here: https://www.homestyler.com/floorplan/?lang=en_US&assetId=bcffed11-88b4-4ab3-86f7-17eca2da560e

thanks for all your feedback. I agree there is too much couch and the couch is too close to the piano. I know ideally the piano should not be on an outside wall but the walls are all outside walls, (one on the right is adjacent to a cold garage so it might as well be outside). I'm strongly considering getting rid of the sectional (that is currently dismantled) and getting a very modern couch and two chairs. Any suggestions on the couch and 2 chairs?

I can imagine some scenarios in which someone would want to create what is essentially a bedsitter. An adult living with parents or other relatives or renting a room in a private home might like a place to retreat in privacy even though it isn't bed time. If you are dating someone but not intimate or if you have a couple of platonic friends over you might want a place to sit and hang out that doesn't involve lounging on the bed. Or if you need some time to yourself and have an aversion to sitting on a bed while fully clothed in the middle of the day. Beds aren't actually that comfortable for anything other than sleep and romance.

I'm pretty sure the real reason (as opposed to it just being about my superior tastes, lol) that the mister defers questions on all decor and furnishing matters to me, is so he won't have to disappear for an undetermined length of time like the OP's husband. ;) The rug thing has always been a bit confusing to me when the house has what looks like lovely hardwood flooring - rugs cover that up! Unless it's a basement, in which case I totally get wanting to be able to use the space during the winter and not freezing in the process, therefore a rug if not carpet is needed. I can't tell if the curtains are sheers? Honestly I'm more of a 'put blinds up' for windows kind of gal, if the windows require covering for privacy (don't want to give the neighbors a show or anything, lol). Window coverings also help protect darker upholstery from fading due to sun exposure, and to a lesser extent the same goes for noticeable fade and discoloration of lighter colors. Everyone loves a room with lots of big windows providing natural light, all I can think of is what their utility bills during the summer must be like and that they probably don't have a sapphire blue velvet sofa they're anxious to keep from fading and vacuum religiously despite the utilization of a throw blanket strategy to win the war against dog fur.
