I REALLY need a couch. Help please.
Comments (6)If there's one thing I won't buy sight-unseen it's a sofa...or chair. You have to sit in them to know if you're going to like it. Looks are one thing but there's so much you can't know until you sit in it yourself. Take the depth for instance, will it be too shallow or too deep? Cushions too stiff or too soft?Depends on how you sit in a sofa, do you prefer to slump down or sit straight up. How the arm rest feels factors in as well. How high the arm rest is makes a different too. Be patient, keep looking in your area, something will turn up that's right for you....See MoreNeed help quick on how to fit 2 large sofas in a smallish living room
Comments (10)Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I really love that photo, tibbrix, and I did wonder about moving the TV over in that corner. Hate to block a window, though. As for the rest of you, I agree about not being married to these sofas. We had actually started out with some darker green clean-lined sofas that were beautiful (from Crate and Barrel), but the cushions started sinking just a few months after purchase. They let us exchange for these, but I've never liked them--completely different style and not the color I wanted. So going with an even lighter green may indeed drive me nuts. I really wanted a pattern this time around too. What's important to my physical health is to have a sofa that sits high and is firm. (Arthritis in knees and back trouble.) I'm going to contact the manufacturer of this sofa and ask where we can purchase one custom. But what I do remember about them is that they only have this 84" sofa and then a very small loveseat--smaller than our current loveseat. We'd probably have to throw a chair in somehow. BUT I do wish I could get my husband to help me move those bookcases to either side of the TV to see how they would look. It would be a big job, but there's only one way to find out how it would work... The salesman has ONE blue sofa (I never considered blue EVER so have to wrap my mind around that--the rug would have to go). It's firm but doesn't sit as high as the celery sofa. He suggested getting 2 chairs with a table between to be in place of the loveseat. Where would we put lighting for the sofa, though? It would look odd to have table in the corner between the sofa and first chair and then another table in between the 2 chairs. But honestly, my first thought when I saw these was "old-fashioned." On the other hand, we probably can't afford the style I'd really like. Sorry for rambling......See Moresmall sofa, need help with coffee table Please
Comments (6)Typically the TV stand/console does well to relate proportionally to the size of the TV - not so much the sofa. You can use the same ration for sofa and coffee table for TV and TV stand - about 2/3. Post a floor plan of your room noting door ways and window placement, if you can. A photo of the room would help, too. It'll help us suggest some arrangement options for you....See MoreI need two chairs that will fit on an 8 inch wall with a small table.
