Hello all, we have started shopping around for couches and chairs to fit our living room space and I came across these pieces. Do you think these will go well together in our space.

    I don't think the recliner will work with the darker color sofa you just posted. It's too close to the same color without being the same color. I do love the camel sofa color, though. Does that company make a recliner in the same leather?
    Or, have you thought about doing a totally different recliner color? Like maybe a navy or darker /olive green leather?
    Or you could chose the lighter cream leather sofa and the recliner you posted.

    Thank you for those . Still trying to decide which one to pick .

    I saw there is are recliner cover that you can use, I am thinking if that can help with heavy use if I go with fabric recliners

    I deleted that last one. Now that I see all that together. I think you should stick with all warmish colors, not the gray in the other fabric recliner. Nice visual. I really like the light leather sofa with the accent chairs you found and the camel colored leather recliner.

    The darker sofa looks really nice with the fireplace too! Tough decision. If it were me choosing, I would go with the lighter one. Just because I like that more transitional style rather than the MCM. But you might like the heavier nod to mid century style.

    Either one of the groups you posted will look great with the fireplace. I'm drawn to the darker sofa group, but it all hinges in the recliner choice. 
    Have you given any thought to another color recliner? I don't know your budget but these are from West Elm. They have a lot of different leather choices. Here's their green and their navy.

    Thank You so much. I like the brown sofa too, but I dont think I can pull off a MCM vibe. We have an open floor plan and our kitchen has dark cabinets and sort of dark granite.. I'm thinking the lighter shade goes well too..

    Ahhh, very helpful to see what else you're working with. I agree that going full on MCM isn't what you probably want. I would stick with the more transitional look. But that doesn't mean you can't have an MCM inspired piece thrown in there.

    You know, there is a matching armchair with that leather sofa set. I wonder if your Mom would be up for a leather chair and an ottoman as opposed to a recliner? With a lumbar pillow on the chair and an ottoman it would be a very comfortable seat. Similar to reclining.

    Those are nice options! I will show her these and see what she would like.. :)

    Our furniture is all taken today. I am attaching some photos of the empty open space now. I asked a few friends about fabric sofas and they all have had good experience. I have been looking around furniture shops. Seeing this whole space, do you still think our sofa, chairs and recliner idea would work? Our cabinets are really dark mahagony color . Does the chair color have to match the tv console and coffee table? Thanks in advance

    Looks so open! Also looks like you could use a larger rug in the room. Yes, I think fabric sofa work well too as long as you find one with a good quality fabric.

    My sister owns this sofa from Rooms to Go and let me tell you it is extremely comfy and indestructible. And pretty! And these are some pieces that go with it.

    Thank you. I have never purchased from roomstogo and the website doesn’t show any reviews . So it was hard to decide. Thank you for those. All the rugs I have got is 8X10s . :).

  • Cecilia

    I know! It stinks they dont have reviews. Looks like you might be able to fit a 9 x 12. You could make this rug work if you'd like though.

    You can have wool broadlooms cut to size and serged as area rugs. In my town a high-end rug store sells remnants at a significant discount that make great area rugs. In this way you can have a large rug cut to your perfect size.

    I do like that sofa. Can I ask, do you have kids or pets at home? I am afraid this won't wear super well if you do.

  • happyde10
    Original Author

    No pets, I have a 7 year old. :). I'm not sure about that either, but I found a similar product that said its holding up well.

  • Cecilia

    Ok, well if you think your 7 year old will be be good aboout keeping food and shoes off of it then it's probably good. I have 4 young kids, 2 cats and a dog so I am forced to think thorougly about these things. :) . How many people do you need ot sit in that room at any given time, or most of the time?

  • happyde10

    It will be just her mostly. My mom uses the recliner . Me and my husband are not into Tv much and rarely sit there .. lol

    Thinking about this chair. This is the height that I was looking for

  • Cecilia

    That chair is great! I think it would like nice in your room and with the sofa you are looking at. Do you think you might get a pair of chairs to go with your sofa?

    The recliner I was looking for went out of stock and will come back only next year.. :(... everything I look at has this chunky appearance that I do not like and my Mom wants a recliner and recliner only...lol.. have you seen a simple style anywhere?


  • Cecilia

    I found this one at Kirklands that look like it could work with the chairs and sofa and has more of the blue colors in the sofa pillows. THis is from Kirklands.




  • Cecilia

    I think if you went with that recliner though I would replace the blue plaid pillows with something more solid. Maybe something like this.

    Oh Kirklands, I didn think of that store.. I will check. Thanks

    And if you went down the blue road

    , it would be nice to get a new rug and curtains to tie it all together. Here is a rug that I think could tie all the pieces together well.

    We got the furniture assembled . The sofa is slightly different in style as my tall husband liked the one with arms. It’s the same color that I posted earlier though. Getting a rug soon and thinking what kind of coffee table to get

    Thanks much! I am
    Not sure if I am happy with the coffee table color . I love it but not sure how well it goes with everything. I sure can return and try another one .. still trying to decide. :)

  • Amy Lynn

    It does appear to be a little on the orange side, but that could just be the camera tone. My other thought on the coffee table is the size. Hard to tell in the photos, but is it big enough for the area?

  • happyde10
    Original Author

    It’s not as orangey in real, but kind looks so matchy with the rug. The size is good .
