It’s a 17% difference. If the walkway is a primary pathway I’d make it the priority - for example, if you have to cross it to get upstairs. If it’s not a primary pathway, I’d make the comfy seating the priority. But it would be best of all to find a layout that didn’t make either sacrifice. Do you want to post a floor plan and more pics and see if people have ideas?

Thanks for your reply! 17% doesn’t sound like much, but maybe it is when you’re talking about a small gap of 2-3 feet? It’s somewhat of a thoroughfare to get to the guest room and office. Unfortunately I don’t have a floor plan! And I’m set on one of these two sofas so it’s either one or the other. I’m torn on if the difference is significant enough to give up the deep sofa. Really appreciate your thoughts!

17% is a significant.

If it will most affect the guest/office and TV area, I’d lean toward the bigger couch. Family seating has real value.

Thank you! I’m leaning towards that also
