    Loveseats will go in great room along wall with windows. Those windows will have blinds tilted or closed all the time

    Doesn't sound like a good idea but It would be good to see a picture of the room where you plan to do this... You might have other possibilities but cannot offer suggestions without seeing the entire room.

    Why not place one vertical to separate dining/great room and the other horizontal nearby? Just need leg room for reclining. End table between them. Drink table at each end. Sitting in one long row and not seeing everyone might drive me batty, lol.

    The reason I wanted to put in a row is so that 4 people could recline and see tv. Nobody wants to have to turn their head to watch tv. Otherwise, I could one loveseat and do a standard couch facing the sliding glass doors This room will only be used in the evening to watch tv. During the day, people will be outside at the beach or exploring. I plan on adding accent chairs to balance like in picture. This is the model unit and the couch is 120 inches. I just have never seen 2 reclining loveseats put in a row. Good idea or big mistake

    Can.

    Shouldn't.

    Reason: It'll look odd.

    Is this your room?

    If so, the blue recliner sofa you're showing doesn't coordinate at all with the style of your home. We need to see your room if this one isn't yours.

    The picture is the model home and not mine. I am building and close in early March. I have pure white walls and light white oak floor. I was thinking the blue since on the beach but might do a brown color like this

    Other than the colour what is the style of your current furniture to make sure you're buying something that coordinates with what will be adjacent to these loveseats/sofa.

    Is there a reason you don't want a 4-seater reclining sofa instead of 2 side-by-side loveseats that would be in a more contemporary style?

    Sure you can do it, but to me it screams "man cave - single guy" vibes, which might be fine for you.

    It's a big room. I might consider putting the love seats at 90° to each other, but at an angle to the window wall. That way you can actually have folks sit facing each other when desired, but move the couches more parallel to watch TV.

    We had a lake cabin for years, and while there was certainly a lot of time spent outdoors, we did use the living room to socialize, either because we had been outside all day, or it was cold, windy, or rainy, or maybe we wanted to talk about the adventures of the day instead of go directly to watching TV (actually, in our case, we had 2 channels at the lake, so TV watching was minimal anyway).

    Making a conversation area the default arrangement might not be a bad thing.

    Found you sofa on the Palisser website, at a closer look, it's a nice looking sofa when looking for a reclining model. It is modular so you can do this arrangement for a 4-seater sofa:


    If by the ocean, I suggest you go with blue, not brown. Here's a visual of a decor possibility.

    Mistake....to me it screams "frat house" and "cheap" and "tacky".

    Because it will look terrible.

    This seems to be the loveseat for Reece. Is this what you're attempting to assemble?

    The snarky answer to your title question is: you can do whatever you want. I usually agree with Mrs. Pete, but why do you care what it "looks" like? If it's only a TV room, perhaps it makes sense. But if you're really concerned about how it looks, consider angling the couches slightly (maybe 15 degrees or so from the window wall) so that it's not necessary to turn heads to watch TV but would enable some conversation between those on opposite loveseats.

    If it is a media room do it Isee that type odf seating all the time in media rooms no other need than to watch a screen .. But where will the chairs go since the loveseats get the perfect view and the chairs no so much I have done media rooms where the ceiling was high enough to do actual theatre seating where you put raised rows of maybe 6 loveseats . If this is the LR in the house no

    We use ottomans for the feet instead of using recliners. .. recommend sofas at a 45 degree angle to each other.

    Our one sofa perpendicular to the TV is not really a problem watching at an angle... the body is at an angle when you are not restricted by the built-in footrest. And good for lying on the sofa with feet toward the TV.

    My feet hang off the end of a recliner footrest which is uncomfortable after a while on the back of my ankles/calves.

    I agree with AnnKH would make the room cozier with more flexible seating. We don't always have the TV on.

    The 4 seater sofa that anothe poster found for you sounds like a better idea that two loveseats in alignment.

    How do you feel about the idea of two swivel recliners? That way, people can see each other for conversation but they can also turn toward the tv and recline if they choose to. It's also more comfortable for people to have their own spot than to share a loveseat. There are plenty of modern styles that would work with your chosen loveseat.

    Honestly … I think recliners are the least useful seating in a situation like yours… more flexible, even swiveling pieces.. are more useful for varied users and combinations .. of guests…keeping in mind that you may have a mix of older and younger guests… as well ..perhaps deep seating and easily moveable ottomans would be more flexible ….with side tables that can be placed where and when needed… as well.. if you have cushy deep area rugs ….sitting on the floor leaning on the seating is “fun” for kids and couples as well
