Sofa and loveseat or two sofas and two chairs?
Hello, we are thinking about moving the pictured sofa and loveseat into another room and starting fresh in the great room. We want to take advantage of the space and are exploring the idea of two sofas facing each other with two chairs facing the fireplace and a square coffee table in the center. We bought the staging furniture pictured but reversed it to get a better view of the back yard, any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

You will need a larger rectangular coffee table (to serve the two sofas) and a small cocktail table between the chairs, or use the hammered silver garden stool The rug will probably work. One suggestion: choose interesting chairs...different from the two new sofas.

Two sofas or a sofa and two chairs
Comments (8)I agree, 2 chairs would be versatile rather than two sofas. With two sofas, you're pretty much stuck w/the arrangement of furniture. It's hard to add end tables and lamps, etc. Unless you have another living room, I'd get the leather sofa and two chairs in a printed fabric....See MoreSofa and love seat or sofa and two chairs
Comments (33)Mtn, yes itâÂÂs an animal skin which is a dime a dozen now discounted on many sites. However it works for me because I already had the big carpet. I had a problem with the dominant color of the kitchen cabinets taking over in the open plan so the animal skin helped ground the living space. It also helped with blending the Fred Flintstone fireplace in the open dining room on far side. The ceiling fan works well! At first the decorative light surround thingy made a rattle noise when the fan was on high, which was very annoying. We just dabbed a tic of clear silicone on one section and that took care of it. I agree about the loveseat not always being useful which is why I went with a three seater and a four seater. I decided against a sectional because most people do not like the corner section as itâÂÂs hard to get out of. The other problem with a sectional was that if I wanted to lie down while husband was, my feet would be in his face during movie watching. He does not have a foot fetish so that wouldnâÂÂt work. For my needs we wanted two items that you could stretch out on for movies or watching series shows. But again, I think it all should be about how and whoâÂÂs using the room. Some people only have room for so much seating. I think where people go wrong on the sofa and loveseat thing is that the pieces are often way too bulky for the space....See MoreCracked, fading on leather sofa, loveseat, chair - any good remedies?
Comments (5)I've heard good things about Leather Honey products for car seats, but I've not used it myself. 3katz is right that it can never be made to look perfect again, but it is amazing how leather can look so much better once is has rec'd a little loving attn in the form of conditioning....See MoreTwo couches or couch and loveseat
Comments (1)Always choose 2 couches over couch/loveseat combo or sectional. Much easier to work with in various room layouts and better seating for guests....See MoreJack Dalton

2 years agoOne sofa and four swivel chairs. Get a 3-seat sofa and the most comfy swivels you can find. Avoid love seat; boogers to arrange and usually seat one person. Everyone likes to have arms to relax on.
