If you even have thought that it cannot be put in the room then do not get the 79 inch. I am also dubious about attached cushions. I hope someone who owns one will advise you. Is the brown chair staying?

Is the fabric for cushions? Looks good. For the whole sofa this would be somewhat overwhelming. ;) But can you post pics of the entire room? Also, you should have no difficulty finding a good quality sofa in that style with non-attached back cushions. Do you have stores in your area that specialize in "condo sized" furniture? You'd likely find more small sofas on offer somewhere like that. What is the length of the wall where you want to put the sofa, and what else are you putting there (end tables? lamps?). You should draw up a floor plan to take with you, along with photos, when you go sofa shopping. A good store will be able to help you find an appropriate sized sofa if you have an accurate floor plan. It would also help anyone here advise you.

There are a whole bunch of 74" sofas out there. What makes you feel you are limited to Flexsteel or Bassett?

Lee industries, see if someone close has that

I don't blame you for not wanting to drive a hundred miles to shop. I don't care for the patterned fabric but you will be the one living with it. Is the inside of the house in tact prairie style or something close to it?

I totally understand the 74" sofa. It is the size we used in our library. Perfect place for my husband to "get away" and still be involved!!

I like the fabric and pattern. Solid pillows and a throw....awesome!!

It is a cute room. I'm sure we can make it WOW!!!

If you use that patterned fabric, what are you going to do for chairs and tables?

The solid grey chair? Darker wood furniture? The wood you have now lends itself to more of a warmer fabric.

Think it depends on the size of chair. To me, the pattern is a bit loud - a little will go a long way. Unfortunately, because of my age, it also reminds me of Marimmeko fabrics from the late 60s/early 70s. We had some bathroom curtains in red and lime green that looked a lot like that. So my own prejudices may be showing through here... It would work well for cushions on the grey sofa. I'd go for something a little "quieter". I actually like the fabric on the cushions on the sofa in the second pic, better.

I think you should have one chair that is.....loud!! It is your signature chair!! I have one in my family room and I LOVE it!! Every time I look at that chair (every day!) it makes me smile!!

If these are your colors, go for it. It is only a chair. If it gets on your nerves, you can throw a throw on it!!

It is a small tucked away area. Make it fun!!!

You are not sounding fussy. Go with what you feel!!

How about painting those wooden closet door white or even the wall color?

All of my sofas have a camel back, not attached cushions. I would never have anything else. I find sofas with removable cushions extremely uncomfortable, especially because I am so short my feet never touch the floor.

Did you see the Drexel yet?

Looks lovely! Good choice.
