Here is the family room that we're dealing with at the moment. It is literally across the way from breakfast nook, then from there the kitchen (where I stood taking the picture). Hopefully you can look past the chaos (kitchen is also under construction) as well as my mother-in-law's table that we need to get rid of (that's another issue in itself).


The room is about 12'6" in width, from wall with window to wall with arch. Then about 13'7" from the hearth of the fireplace to the wood floor. Once construction is complete, the kitchen will be all white (cabinets, countertops, backsplash, walls/ceiling) as well as the family room. We'll be changing out the carpet to a wool ivory taupe color and adding white ledgestone to the fireplace. There is also a 75" tv that will be on the wall above the fireplace.

My husband, originally, wanted to place a sofa in front of the tv, then have a couple recliners on each wall, and I had to have a blue sofa so we got this (FYI it's now a few weeks past the return date, so we're pretty much stuck with it; dimensions: 34"H x 88"W x 38"D):

Once we started painting walls we had to separate the sectional and move them around as we worked. Now that we have the sectional separated, my husband now likes the look of having two sofas facing each other. BUT because he still wants a recliner he wants to have a sofa w/ a chaise on the end of it on one wall and offset it a little so the he can put a recliner on the other wall next to the blue sofa. We both love the look and price of the blue sofa, which is why we're thinking about getting another from the same line, here are the ones we're looking at (dimensions: 34"H x 100"W x 67"D):

Another thing, we also have a couple giant faux fur bean bags (50" diameter) from RH we'd like to fit in the room.

I feel like my sense of style is all over the place...Scandinavian, mid-century modern, eclectic, boho...or perhaps its all around the same look. We have a lot of family and friends over so we need the seating space. We're trying to figure out:

1) Which wall should the blue leather sofa go...the wall with the window or the wall across the window? Heard sunlight could discolor the color of the leather, but we also live in Seattle. (FYI, the window is western facing)

2) Would it look funny to have either of the two sofas (above) sit across from the blue sofa being that they're the same collection but different color/fabric?

3) Any other thoughts/suggestions helps a bunch...

Sorry for the book, just wanted to make sure I covered everything.
