So, I'm on the fence with taking the plunge and purchasing new living room furnishings for one seating area in the room (the other already has two adorable club chairs near the fireplace, etc.; notice adjoining dining room is a rusty, brick red color.):

The seating area in question is by the TV section of the room. We built our current home six years ago, and we brought with us a microfiber sofa and loveseat from our previous home. The sofa/loveseat combo is over 10 years old, and while it's awesome for cleaning (two boys and a cat), I'm so ready for a change.

I found a comfy sofa (Better Homes & Garden):

I would like to use this sofa fabric - 100% polyester (IRL, the color is a bit warmer than it shows on my monitor and matches carpet in living room):

And recliner chair:

I like this fabric for the recliner - poly/cotton blend (stripe is nearly identical to golden tan in the club chairs by fireplace):

And decorative accent chair, to be covered in "clucky" chicken fabric (poly/rayon blend), which makes me smile. I have been telling myself, "No more roosters", but they keep showing up in various places!

Here is a pic of the fabric combo:

I would use the red stripe, neutral sofa, and clucky fabric for pillows on the sofa.

My DH is pretty insistent on a swivel recliner - ughh!:

Is it possible to incorporate a recliner somehow without crashing the style? At least this one is fairly petite (as recliners go). We have a dark chocolate leather ottoman, so I hope that more than one leather color can work if they are different/complementary.

Our oldest son is 19 and in college away from home, and our youngest is 12, so we have passed the early childhood years. Our cat is 20 years old, and prefers to sleep in her bed and only spends time on our furniture by proxy (read laps).

But . . . after having this microfiber for so many years and having the ability to wipe everything off of it, I worry that having new furniture will be too hard to care for comparatively.

Still, I've been waiting for some time. I realize my style is less sophisticated than many (i.e. roosters/nod to farmhouse). But, we live in a rural country setting on several wooded acres, and I like french country, casual, traditional, and updated clean country farmhouse, with a mix of antiques, etc.

I have no decorating background, and I constantly doubt my decisions. I guess I'm just looking for encouragement here.
