Living Room Inspiration

We bought our house just over four years ago and only had furniture for the upstairs because we were coming from two apartments. We purchased a couch and loveseat for the living room that were great to start out with, but after a little while, I could not wait to replace them. We realized that our house doesn’t get a ton of natural light, especially in the winter, so we are going to move our current set out and replace it with a sectional.

We’re also going to change the dark rug for a lighter, neutral color, and I’m crossing my fingers that I won’t be kicking myself for buying too light of a rug. I would love to have an ivory couch, but that’s not doable with Sprout allowed on the furniture. And I’ve been looking at navy couches, too, but I don’t think that’s going to brighten up the room as much as I want it to.

These are the two couches I’m considering. I know, they look so similar, but the styles are slightly different.

bottom- Radley fabric 6-piece

(The bottom one would actually be without the additional chaise piece.)

Which would you choose?

    The top one looks airier with the higher and tapered feet. I agree with Kaitlyn- the second one looks more comfortable.

    I would pick the second one because of the cleaner more modern lines, but I would encourage keeping the chaise. We have one and it's pretty awesome.

    I would love to keep the chaise, but we have an open living room/kitchen, so I think I'd be constantly tripping over it 🙁

    I can't decide if that's a good thing (obvi for me) or a bad thing (someone likes to fall asleep on the couch watching late night TV)!

    Hmm… good point. One more spot for our dog Sprout to lose his toys?
