Mismatched end tables - do these work together?
Comments (16)Thanks for the opinions. I am open to any other suggestions. I have spent hours searching for tables and am very frustrated at this point. Normally, I gravitate toward matching things and symmetry but all the design mags seem to advocate this non-matching look. Uggh, I think you have to be a professional to pull it off. Regarding some of the suggestions - I tried switching the tables and it looks about the same if not worse. I cannot turn the rug in the other direction as it would extend into the hallway. Also, I tried turning the couch to face the fireplace but it just feels very uninviting as it basically blocks off the entryway to the room and squishes the seating area because the sofa's fairly deep. The arms of the sofa are fairly low (only 21") so it's very hard to find tables that match that. These tables don't seem too high when you're sitting on the sofa but I agree they look that way from the pictures. I really wanted to add some lamps to the room for softer lighting. Is it a complete no-no to have the tables partially on the rug? Would a sofa table between the couch and the window work better than the side tables?...See MoreBought a rug but it mismatches with my entire home color scheme
Comments (47)The reason the sofa has to be on long wall is because it provides more open set up. It is easy to change your cable location. So, up to you but just wanted to make sure you understood the logic. Your son is adorable!!...See MoreHelp please!! First home styling - strong features
Comments (2)Very nice space. IMO, sectionals present a number of problems: difficult to find one that fits the space and often in only one configuration. Sofas and chairs are just as comfortable and much more flexible. Love the armchairs and leather sofa in your mock ups!...See MoreMismatched Leather Seating? Opinions please
Comments (21)Completely understandable that the Benson might not be the right style for you. I do, however, think that if you want leather chairs, you probably need to choose a leather that contrasts but works well with the Aviator Blackwood leather. A soft gray or taupe could work well. I think white would work too. I would personally avoid doing any kind of chair that has leather that is trying to look like the Avaiator Blackwood color but isn't quite hitting the mark....See MoreCathy Power
