My thoughts remains to be occupied with ideas of our future household room. I’ve been dreaming of colours (which I shared in yesterday’s put up), finishes, fixtures, fireplaces, furnishings, and a lot extra. Each time I’ve dreamed about our future household room, I’ve at all times imagined a luxurious, comfortable sectional in there. And but, each time I do a flooring plan of the room, I embrace this furnishings association.
So in my thoughts, I see a giant sectional. In drawings, I at all times present two sofas and two chairs.
In the long run, I’m undecided which thought will win out. I actually need that room to be as cozy and cozy as doable for Matt and me, because it’s our home, and we’ll be those utilizing that room probably the most. However I additionally must remember that we have now folks in our dwelling as soon as every week, and typically twice every week proper now, and I’m hoping that we’ll do much more entertaining as soon as the addition is constructed.
So with that in thoughts, is a sectional even a good suggestion? I think about myself curled up within the nook of a sectional beneath a comfortable blanket on a winter night time, a fireplace within the fire, a film taking part in on the TV, and a cup of scorching chocolate in hand. That sounds wonderful. That’s the picture in my thoughts each time I image our household room with a sectional couch.
However then I attempt to think about our home on an evening when we have now folks over, and it’s exhausting to think about that understanding effectively. I like a sectional that has a chaise lounge on the tip, like this one…
However then I attempt to think about being that particular person within the group who’s caught on the chaise lounge part in a bunch setting. I believe it is perhaps awkward. 😀
So sadly, I believe I positively must rule out that fashion of sectional. Then there’s the sort that wraps round with further seating like this one…
However I actually can’t think about greater than 4 folks sitting comfortably on that sectional. Proper? I’d think about that individuals wouldn’t need to get too near the nook as a result of they’d need to keep away from the potential for their knees touching. So most individuals would have a tendency to sit down in the direction of the ends. I believe if greater than 4 folks needed to squeeze on there, they’d begin to really feel like their private area was being invaded.
Even one thing like this looks like it might seat a most of 5 folks comfortably.
So I believe that’s why I at all times revert again to 2 sofas and two chairs after I do drawings of the furnishings association. I does give me that symmetry that my mind at all times appears to desire and want. However this association additionally looks like it might seat extra folks.
Our present couch can seat as much as three folks comfortably, with out folks feeling too crowded. And this couch is simply over 80 inches lengthy.
So if I’ve two of these plus two chairs, that’s ready-made seating for eight folks. Add just a few stackable chairs, and I believe we will match 14 comfortably, and extra if we push the chairs again to make extra room.
That does appear extra sensible for our functions, and for our future plans. However I nonetheless image a luxurious sectional in that room each time I think about what it’ll appear and feel like when it’s completed. Inform me your ideas on sectionals. Do you have got one? Do you prefer it? Does it really restrict seating with massive teams like I think about it might?
