Here's a photo of my floor and another angle where you will see my dining room space next to my spiral stair case! There will be black wrought iron spindles on them. I have also opted for black knobs and hinges throughout the house.

Love your kitchen design, especially those counter tops!

Your space is pretty modern, so I would choose furniture pieces with clean lines and simple geometry. Everything is very neutral in color so you have a great opportunity to play with color in your living room!

Beautiful counter tops.... I always caution agains sectionals as you are limited to moving your furniture around the room and are limited where it can be placed then stuck in a sense. I think comfortable couches and chairs are the best option as you can place things as you and even rearrange if you tire of the layout over time.

If you love sectionals, just know it limits your furniture and layout.

Do you have kids and want certain fabric vs. other or lean toward leather?

Do you prefer a lot of color or are you more minimalistic and like to add color with toss pillows and art, etc?

Beautiful options provided above! Unfortunately, I have a dog that sheds quite a bit (she's ginger/blonde).... I love velvet couches but they are not really realistic with a dog and a fiancé that owns a garden centre and comes home dirty and sits on the couch. I need a fabric that I can clean.

I love colour and am not afraid to add lots of cushions, beautiful rugs and artwork. I want wow worthy floor to ceilings curtains to accentuate my 9 foot ceilings.

I'm obsessed with gold at the moment so I'd love to add a touch of it. As for sectionals I like how comfortable they are, we're looking for a 4-seater L-shape sectional. I was told to go for leather but I'm afraid it will look dated. I found a leather sectional that looked somewhat modern that could work but I have no clue what colour is choose. See attached.

My style is clean and modern but I still want it to look homie, nothing too ultra modern.

Leather tends to look dated when it is doesn't have much texture to it. You can modernize it a bit by adding different textures via cushions, throws, or rugs.

Are there other sofa fabrics I should consider? Any recommendations?

I don't think the right leather sectional will look dated at all....

The one you posted is pretty and clean lines.... you could do a round table with brushed brushed gold.

Most importantly knowing the size of the room and the size of the sectional, where you will have a tv if one will go in this room. I see your rendering so it appears you have that on the wall in front of the floating sectional.

Picking an area rug that is large enough for the sectional is key. Often you might work on those two items first before anything else.

The area rug given the size and the couch will be your larger purchases so best to choose them first.

given the floors and the sectional I see a simple rug then bring in your brushed gold later and toss pillows, etc.

or bold and bright?

Exactly, that is why I'm trying to find what type of sectional I will be getting. Once that is decided I will purchase a large rug and accent chairs. I'm just struggling with what colour and fabric the sectional should be. Once I have decided on a couch and rug I think the rest should fall into place.

Hi Veronique, can you tell me more about your floors? What kind of wood they are, where you got them, and the color? Thank you so much! I absolutely love them.
