I love two matching sofas facing each other but this feels wrong to my eye. The bulk is off, the weight of the fabrics seem off, and the dark and light color is not working for me. Looks like one sofa broke so they dragged another sofa in from elsewhere in the house. Maybe two matching chairs might help balance better. I think the leather sofa has no relation to the room.

Well that is weird. And timely. We have a small sofa and need more seating in a new, larger LR and I've been wondering how to keep what I have and coordinate with another piece. That isn't it!!

I think it may have been part of a set that they had, given that it looks like there is a matching leather chair on the right side of the dining room -

If that's what you have, that's what you have. But, it's not a good design decision and probably shouldn't be the first picture of your design brag photos.

Not special.

The non-matchy-ness doesn't bother me as much as the TV placement; it reminds me of my sister's house LR setup - I got a terrible crick in my neck trying to watch their TV from the couches & always wound up sitting in a straight backed chair in the middle. Of course if it's only 2 people, they can both lay down facing the TV, but any more than that becomes a problem.

I was just going to say the same thing, carolb. I don't even notice the couches because the big black hole over the mantel draws the eye away from all else.

I think it's "he said she said". He likes leather, she likes country chic.

And nobody's watch in' the tv up there from those couches.

I agree that the TV placement in relation to the sofas is the biggest problem.
