Dark navy looks so much like black, that you might as well have black. Dark navy then is no longer a color, but just another shade of black. I'd try another color. You may want to think about a medium blue for the couch.

You would be better off not getting a sectional.

You will actually have seating for more people in the rom without a sectional, and the seating arrangement will be more versatile.

If people like putting their feet up you can get an ottoman.

Or a recliner for hubby.

How about a rich emerald green? Or a dark pink? or purple?

Thanks all. Here are more pics of the current look (excuse the clutter). The existing sectional is going away.

If not a sectional, what configuration would you recommend? The sectional we have picked out would sit 5 people.

First I would put the TV in a better place. Possibly on a low console on the wall with the railing. Then a sofa and 2 chairs. Also some beanbags for the kids. 5 people probably won't sit on a sectional unless it's you and the children. Nobody wants tp be in the middle with no armrest to lean against. Can you post pictures of the other walls we can't see in these pictures and a floor plan

Well, to make the best suggestions, we need measurements of your room.

In a large enough room, you could have two sofas and two chairs.

Going down in size of the room,

Two sofas and one chair.

One sofa and two chairs.

I think you want a sofa that seats three people.

You don't need one with huge fat rolled arms that do nothing to add seating width.

A basic tuxedo style in whatever color you want in the appropriate size always suits, and then you can go to town in your choice of riotously colored throw pillows.

Some people will get their sofa and ab initio have slip covers and/or pillow covers made in a machine washable fabric and even bleachable fabric.

Looking at your chair and the cushion on it, and your table against the wall, it seems you like the off-white/ivory with the blues. And the wood coffee table is a lovely counterpoint.

An off-white sofa would look great.

A blue sofa would look great.

Here's the caveat.

You have a baby now.

They spit up.

And they will throw up.

And then they get dirty, a lot.

And want to do all sorts of crafts and things while they are watching TV.

Everyone has different buying habits, some people buy less expensive things, knowing they will replace them in a few years.

I like quality things and hang on to them as long as humanly possible.

If you get a quality sofa(s) I strongly suggest getting a slipcover/pillow covers made.

Even if you get a performance fabric on the sofa.

I do not want to gross you out with a recitation of the panoply of possible stains that you can get on your sofa.
