I agree with you a chair will work better with your sectional. A loveseat would be way too much.

More photos please? :) What about the console there, under the pic?

I’d try something like this modern recliner type chair

Doris, does your husband want the loveseat to be placed closer to sectional? My thought is that would be way too big, crowd things & block access and view to & out those doors! An oversized chair will fill the corner & make a cozy spot to sit if you also add a lamp & table to set that cup of tea or glass of wine on! So my vote is for your idea. Maybe you two can lay out a mockup of the loveseat & one of chair with dimensions of each. Tape it out on floor or cut cardboard or paper to footprint sizes. Doing that might give you a visual of the actual space each type of seating would occupy.

My opinion is a definite no to a love seat; will feel overcrowded, block flow and view to outside, corner not being taken advantage of, and only in a pinch do two people like to sit on a love seat.

Place chair in corner, I’d change art on that wall (hang lower) and add large art over couch.

Loves usually seat one person. People generally don't care for sitting side by side with others, and almost everyone prefers to have two arms to lean on. Since it appears everyone will have to lie down to view TV, I don't see the point of a seating piece in that corner that has no way to view the ceiling level TV.

Thanks for the thoughtful input, everyone!

KW, I'm going to do that mockup - but just for a chair and table! That will really help me picture it.

Maureen, I love that chair - that's just what I'm looking for. And I think you're right, we'll have to lower the picture to make the space look right.

I've ordered a large (6' x 3.5') artwork for the wall behind the couch; it should be here in a couple of weeks, and I think that will make a big difference.

Deco, it is comfortable to view the TV from the couch, but your comment was helpful in making me think about the function of the chair in the corner. I think I'm just picturing it as extra seating for company, a little removed from the sectional (there are also barstools and a table and chairs on the other side of the room, out of the picture, for when we have a larger crowd). But mostly I'm picturing it as a comfy nook I'll enjoy. Either way, sightline to the TV won't matter.

Decorating does not come naturally to me, so I'm grateful to have this online community for advice!

I would consider a hanging basket chair. They are so much fun to sit in and you have such a gorgeous view to spin around and admire!

A chaise and floor lamp for a reading/texting corner might work for you there.

I get motion sickness in those hanging chairs! I don't get motion sickness normally. Make sure you try one before you even consider one!
