Living Room Decorating Help, Sofa / Sectional advice needed! Pic
Comments (22)I am more than happy to share where this stuff came from and am extremely flattered. The rug is the "Brice" rug from Pottery Barn, 9 X 12. The sectional is made by Jonathan Louis. It is called "Knobhill" and the fabric is called Basil Flannel. I got it at a local furniture store but I saw somewhere that Jonathan Louis furniture might be available at Macy's. The website has a dealer locator: http://jonathanlouis.net/. One armchair is coming this evening. I am going to arrange it all again and post another photo. This is immensely helpful and I am just sorry that I can't try every suggestion! Have a spare small desk in the garage, and will try whatever else I can get my patient DH to do. To make things more complicated, I found out that I can order another piece for the sectional. Since I bought the floor model I didn't think of it before. It will seamlessly extend the longer side another 28". That side will def. have to go against the wall (as in the first photos), but the room will be filled out a little more. Yet another option! I think I have decided against exchanging for a sofa/loveseat. One more question: when moving the sofa away from the wall, how far should it be? Just enough to balance things, or enough for an acutal person to pass through?...See MoreWhat seating to put in the living room with my sofa? Please help!
Comments (1)IMO the bakers rack doesn’t work in the space at all I would do 2 chairs in a fabric that works with the sofa and the rug . I am a bit confused since it appears there are 3 sofas in the space and what are the flowered pieces ? Maybe take some pics from further back that show the whole space. I don’t see any end tables and I do see a lot of clutter like for instance the fairy lights on the railings and all the stuff in the DR and on the bakers rack . It is really hard to get a feel for the space so please better pictures for sure....See MoreNeed your help choosing a sofa and giving our living room a makeover
Comments (4)I think I would want a couch with low square arms that are equal to the height of new end tables. Low arms make it easier to stretch out on if used for napping and easier to reach drinks on an end table. I have a leather couch and a fabric covered love seat. The love seat is much more cozy, the leather is stiff. I got the leather because we could use it to take a break from working outside (dirt on clothes - mud on shoes). I would go with neutral colors and add texture and color with pillows, throws or fabric covered foot stool. Are you considering shades? I think Roman ones could look good. Also think about how many cushions for couch - one, two or three. I wish I had gone with two instead of three for the couch and one for the love seat. The plus side of more cushions is that you can move them around if one side of the couch is used more than the other. Also do you want to be able to remove the back cushions or do you want them attached. Do you want to be able to flip the cushions on the seat - I can do it with my fabric couch but not with the leather. Some stores have a basic model with customization - cushion firmness etc. Ethan Allen has some models you can customize. Also think about VOC's - Pottery Barn has certified furniture for those concerns....See MoreLeather sofa and love seat color question for family room
Comments (6)First, a comment on buying a sofa and loveseat; it can be difficult to find a coffee table which services both. Can you use two love seats or two sofas? Just be aware. There are other fabrics which can make you and puppy comfortable. My favorite is Kashmira and you can find it on Flexsteel furniture. First, I have had Flexsteel. It will still be in your living room 20 years from now. Kashmira? It’s my dream come true. Looks like leather or suede (depending on your like)…amazing feel and comes in lots of colors. I’m offering you something other than leather because I don’t think your red chair will show up well if you buy new leather pieces....See MoreLaurie Esson
