Sectional couch for a small space?
Comments (7)It doesn't look like the sectional would take up more space than the sofa and loveseat do except that it will cover the corner on the right where it looks like you have an end table. The shorter end is open, so that will feel lighter, plus the color and the less bulky style. I don't think it will take over the room. I'd put a small table near the window (with drawers or a shelf), use a console or sofa table below the TV (tip: if you can find one that butterflies open into a table you can pull up to the sectional, you have a second area for dining when entertaining, puzzles or games for the family or kid parties -- any kind of fun), and look for some baskets or less revealing containers for the kid stuff to put under the TV table. You can use a coffee table or ottoman in front of the sectional. We have a sectional with a butterfly table that makes for a very versatile and comfortable family room. We have at times pulled up a bench or chairs to the table and seated 16 in our breakfast room and family room for casual family dinners and teen get togethers. I'm linking another one I just saw that you might like. Here is a link that might be useful: Another smaller contemporary sectional...See MoreSuggestions for back of sofa in a tight space
Comments (5)I was just wandering around Overstock and saw some beautiful media storage units. They have many different styles and sizes (width/height). Plus they seem to tend to be 9" deep or even less. Perhaps peruse there or other furniture sites and see if something like this would work. They don't have to have CDs/DVDs in them. Think a lot of different items would fit...I'm liking the ones with glass doors. But others have solid ones too and some with both doors and shelves....See MoreStruggling over sofa selection for small space for months
Comments (55)smalloldhouse - thank you. That is very helpful. I am leaning towards the two sofas facing each other, simply because it provides more comfortable seating for a greater number of people. Your experience is very helpful. The TV angle is not ideal, but tv viewers have the basement tv and sectional. As for the tufting, I totally agree. I would order it without any tufting. As for perpendicular sofas - the asymmetry of having neither sofa centered on it's wall really bothered me. The window treatment to conceal the asymmetry with the windows is a good idea, but I prefer no window panels for this space. If I order the two two-seat sofas, I can try out the perpendicular arrangement to see what it's like in real life. I'm also not thrilled about not sitting in the sofa prior to purchase....See MoreDecor above Sofa in Small Space
Comments (6)Art is always good, but I think the mirror posted above is nice. That finish would pick up on the other brass/gold finishes present, and properly hung, would reflect the large art and the interesting light fixture. The layout could be improved by switching the bookcase to the opposite wall to be more visible, move the sofa over to center, and add a tall plant or floor lamp to the left. IMO...See MoreBeth H. :
