New furniture in family room?!!

11 years ago

I need some advice. I am getting new furniture for our family room and trying to decide if i should get a sofa and love seat (like i currently have) or get a sofa and 2 chairs. The love seat is where we (family of 4) usually sit. Well 3 of us because the television is directly in front of that sitting location. I would like to switch it up and get 2 chairs instead of a love seat but not sure if it will look right because of how my room is designed (rectangle). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Didawick - I like the idea of two arm chairs as well, it definitely opens up the room more. As you enter the room, you would walk in between the chairs rather than run into the back of the loveseat as is in your current arrangement. If you want to see how it would really look, I suggest you take a look at the website www.furnishup.com. It's a website I built that allows you to see how real items of furniture fit in your space. If we don't have the items of furniture you're looking to buy, just email be at chris@furnishup.com and I'll have them added. Thanks!
