You'll want to post a measured drawing of the room, and dimensions for the sofa and the armoire. Will you have a tv in this room? Will the tv fit in your armoire? Also, you may want to google quality of Anthropologie upholstered goods - I've read more negative than positive, particularly when evaluating price to quality.

ETA: sofa dimensions: 136-in x 92-in x 34-in. (at first glance, I'd say it may not fit)

This is a lot and something has to give because it doesn’t go together. That sofa, wallpaper and painting can’t be in the same vicinity of each other because they clash. You could keep the wallpaper and painting with the grey couch, that could work, and put the floral couch and armoire in different room or vice versa. But you can’t use all those pieces together and not expect it to look like a thrift shop.

Have you measured and taped off where you are going to put the sectional? I don't see that sectional fitting in your room. At all.

If you want to add some fun to your room, it makes more sense to do it with great pillows and paint and accessories, not a giant sectional. You could also get a plain sofa and a crazy comfy chair.

hi Mjlb, I don’t have a tv, so not a concern. Will post the dimensions and the drawings tonight, should have thought of that right away. The room is actually larger than it appears, and the sectional will fit no problem and there still will be space between the armoire and the sectional.

Thanks for the advice about the quality of the item. It has been hit or miss for me too with Antro quality. I originally planned to get a grayish sectional to go well with the existing grey couch on the other side of the room. I keep looking at places for sale in my area, and I see that everyone has a greyish sectional and same interiors. I thought this antro sectional is definitely a statement. But yes, risky

D_gw - yes, it fits no problem. The sectional will go into the corner where the huge box is right now.

I am not looking to add some fun. I do understand that pillows are easy and replaceable. I already have a design for neutral sofas plus adding some color with decor. And it seems like everyone else goes for the same.

If I get this sectional, it’s for making a bold statement.

Lhutch13, yes, understandable. That’s why the non-negotiables are only the one painting and the armoire. Everything else can be moved and changed.

I really want to follow along, because I really like that eclectic, boho style. You have a beautiful space. Don't listen to folks who say the sofa wallpaper and painting don't go together, because you clearly have a bigger vision. I'm going to look and find a similar thread where a bunch of people said that what this woman found for her daughter's room had no chance of looking good together, and when it was done, it was fabulous. Let me get back on this topic.

Yes, it's bold. But the print combinations and sectional configuration also translate as "fun" to me. It's young and bohemian as are your wallpaper and armoire.

If you are looking for a bold and sophisticated look, you will need to make other choices.

What about a plain sectional but in an unexpected color? Purple, green, orange, bright blue?

Here's the link to the boho style bedroom I remember. People didn't get it, and then it all came together.

What color accent chairs for my teens bedroom?

How would you feel about reframing the painting?

D_gw, I wasn’t clear. I like fun and don’t mind boho, I meant to say that with this sofa I was not looking for SOME fun but loads and loads of fun. If it’s a solid color which one would you choose?

Another thought, and I'll try to pipe down, since I'm not an expert. If you don't already know who Justina Blakeney is, you might check out her blog and her work. Boho, chic, and fabulous.

Brigantina, that makes much more sense :) If you love your painting, I would pull your favorite solid color from it. Bright green?

This boho look is more tribal than fun but I think this color sofa would look great with your painting and armoire.

Mrs. S. Thanks a lot. Never heard and will check put her blog. Actually was looking for something like this

Palimpsest, I would feel bad. That frame is a fortune. What kind of frame would you go for?

I LOVE your space. Love the sofa, the wallpaper, all of it. I think it all goes together, really well. Your wallpaper is fantastic. Instead of a red velvet chair, I looked for a blue and red one to photoshop in. I think that would be better. Maybe striped. I would turn it so that the short end of the sofa is on the wall with the two windows if it fits that direction. I love when people are willing to make bold decisions with decor!

I like the sofa! But it's going to need some intense colors elsewhere to keep it from bullying the decor.

The blue wallpaper does nothing for the sofa - the pattern is good but it would work better in some colors from the sofa instead of blue.

The obvious place to put intense color would be to replace the sheers with something colorful.

Ilikefriday, oh wow, thanks a lot. Loving it!!!!!

Lazy_gardens, the wallpaper (already purchased but not up yet) was meant for an accent wall in the dining room that has warm wood tones and blue (including the blue quartzite kitchen countertop). The only reason why I mentioned the wallpaper is because that accent wall will be visible from the living room if sitting on that sectional. I am up for getting different wallpaper, just need to decide which one.

Ilikefriday, where does this piece of art come from? It’s so cool

D_gw, very nice, is this green design from a particular store? I’d like to look up the items

Lazy_gardens, any examples of the curtains that will go well? The room requires 8 panels. Just like you said, I understand that the sofa can overpower everything else but am just not confident I can pull off the look without the help of all you folks :-)

I will have to search for the photo. I just googled "black and white abstract woman" and came up with that.

Here is what it would look like, sort of, if you had the short end of the sofa by the two windows. My photoshop skills are not good enough to make the sofa turn at the same angle as the photo of your room so.... The only reason to turn it is you wont have wall space for a funky piece of artwork otherwise, thats if I am judging the distance properly on either side of the two windows.

The photo I posted is from Home 24 which is an Ikea type store which doesn't have a presence in the US. There are some great inspiration photos in the blog.

Here is a link to green sectionals that you can purchase from the Houzz website. Houzz prices usually have a hefty mark up but the site is good for doing research about manufacturers and styles.

[Green sectionals[(https://www.houzz.com/products/green-sectional-sofas-prbr1-br~t_523~a_88-5)

I think the black and white art that I photoshopped is dark mixed media by Jarek Kubick, at least thats according to Pinetrest. No idea where you would actually purchase it. Maybe you could find the artist and contact him. I am sure you could also hire someone to paint something similar.

This is my original thought on furniture placement in the space. The scale may be off and I will post the dimensions once I get home tonight. Just to give an idea

Oops, forgot to draw a coffee table and an occasional table in between the chairs

You will need room for chairs for sitting. You can not sit on that sofa. It’s more of a bed than seating. Sorts of a Turkish divan. Great if the mansion has 79.5 rooms. Terrible if that is your only room for seating visitors and family.

I am happy to see color and prints here instead of drab rooms so I applaud your vision. However, the sofa seems like it is not designed for sitting and having a conversation because it doesn't have the necessary back support to allow sitting up. Have you actually sat in it?

I totally agree with palimpsest. It needs to be pattern on pattern. That's why I suggest stripped chairs. If not striped chairs I would do stripped drapes.

I agree with Sophie in terms of the depth of the sofa. I looked up your sofa and the depth is 46". Twin beds are 38" wide. I happen to have a chaise in my living room that has a depth of 50". It would be very uncomfortable to sit on like a regular chair. My feet would not touch the ground. However, it is a great piece of furniture to snuggle on or to put your feet up on. If your living space is that casual it will be fine but your guests might feel uncomfortable with it. The 2 chairs would help with this. In my living room, I also have a normal sized sofa and that's where my guests always gravitate to.

I didn’t realize that about the width. I thought the width will make it more “loungy”. They don’t have this in their showrooms so no, unfortunately never got a chance to sit on it. Thanks for pointing this out

You will be sitting in the sofa, feet on it.

Gloria Vanderbilt's apt., 1970

Gloria Vanderbilt's Apartment Late 70s

Are there any other sectionals of similar wildish type but not as wide?

I love this one even better but it’s not a sectional and has 27” depth. Not sure if it’s comfortable enough but the reviews are great

The important part is Inner Seat depth, the sofa you have chosen is deep, yes, but the back is deep and it's probably meant for more cushions. It's definitely a "lounging" sofa.

However, this traditional Baker Charles of London style sofa is 44" deep:

The key thing is support and whether the room can take that almost 4 foot depth, when many sofas are under three foot depth.

Ugh..Gloria Vanderbilt’s rooms give me vertigo!!

yes to the second sofa!

Suggestions based on your must-have painting and armoire:

rug from Dash and Albert:

Couch from Room and Board (style is York, custom fabric is Stefan Aubergine). Not sure what configuration since we don't have floor plan.

Dining room wallpaper Indie Wood from Anthropologie:

Swivel chairs Otis from Room & Board in Vance Mustard velvet (stocked):

Smart round marble/brass coffee table from CB2:

Rake brass bar stools from CB2:

New pendant lights over kitchen bar counter, Rejuvenation Cedar and Moss 8" globe pendant, brushed Satin brass:

Side table, Madison in walnut from Room & Board:

Throw pillows from Annie Selke Psychedelia series:

Paint your walls to match the creamy off white in the wallpaper being sure it doesn't fight your white kitchen cabinets:)

I'd focus on a color palette of cream / ivory with gold accents and balance the bold sectional with chairs that pull out the red/burgundy color. Keep the height of the chairs low to correspond with the low sectional. Consider taking the feet off of the armoire. Thought I'd try my hand (using olio board) at a design board.

Agree with many comments above

my thoughts:

-definitely measure the room very well AND try to sit on the sofa first. Any sofa you go for, not just this one. I remember seeing a sectional when I was in my early twenties. I looked at it through the glass, several days a week as I went home from work-I was embarassed to enter the shop since I had no money

fast forward 15 years, and in a different country, I see it again and even though still expensive as hell-we can afford it now.. I run to it as if it was my best friend I lost and then found. That's how much I loved it

(for whoever's interested-it's by Ligne Roset. )

and I sit on it and I realize that's no way I'll go with it as much as I dreamt about it. It's not comfortable to sit on. Not with my height.

-this particular sofa implies one is a) into colors and patterns b) into cozy things, lounging, being laid back and not giving too much damn. I wouldn't make it into anything it's not..I'd take it all the way where it wants to be. It wants to be a bohemian divan, cozy as hell, in a room that's all cheerful, patterned, colored, has highly personal art and finds from wherever, and seems like it doesn't give a damn

you don't need wallpaper or additional pillows on it unless you have to have them for support

you need the rest of the room to play to the vibe of the sofa

you can have white walls, to understate it a bit..plants..nothing should look too precious even if cost a fortune. all the attitude should be "very personal; but nothing's precious. everything's get used heavily as one pleases"

One usually can juxtapose things -here I'd thread very carefully. Juxtapose-but your consideration for each piece should be above and beyond.

Fabrics should be interesting and substantial in weight; easy chairs and end tables-not too delicate and leggy..etcetera. Materials-natural..wood, ceramics, clay, metals..

It's a fun piece, no doubt.

I personally like the sofa with a curvy back more (I quite like Anthro so I generally know their merchandize like I'm their stuff member or something)) -but that's me. One thing is very sure though. It will be easier to work around, integrate into almost every style. It can take a lot. yes, even being patterned blahblah. Character of a piece is more than just color and/or pattern. It's many things. It's like I'd say 'I'm 5.4, 110 pounds, and have a pixie cut". It won't give anybody enough detail as to who can be my friend, right? lol

But. It won't be a sofa for lounging. It will be a sofa for sitting straight. Which most people need too. It's great to have couple options..say I have a sofa that encourages sitting straight in the living, and a sectional that encourages lounging, in the family/library.

If I had just one space...would depend on my family's lifestyle. I guess-knowing myself..it'd be something that encourages sitting. I'm small enough to lie down on it:) And guests would benefit from a sofa that's more for sitting.

So function should be paramount in your decision. How y o u need it to function.

Lastly..thank you so much for opening such an interesting thread. I love colors and patterns on furnishings..I love fabrics in general..so makes me happy even seeing you posting your questions and choices. Whatever it'll be-it'll be fun))

Aprilneverends, thanks you for such a detailed thoughtful reply. I love fabrics too. And colors. And was chuckling at you •everything get used heavily” comment. My toddler works hard on it every day.

Sorry for the late reply, just extracted the notification from my junk folder.
