Sectional? 2 chairs? Loveseat? Help!
Hello Houzz Community,
I have been trying to solve a "seating" dilemma for this space for a while now, but do not seem to be able to figure out the right solution. Would it be better to get a sectional (but then I would lose the corner light), a love seat (would that be a last century choice?) or two chairs?
We need more seating space.
A friend is getting rid of a sectional and I marked the floor to see how it would fit in our space. It seems way too big.
The markings on the floor are for my friend's 12.5 feetx8 feet 10 inches sectional)
I have been looking at these chairs from Poly and Bark: https://www.polyandbark.com/products/rowan-lounge-chair?variant=20160655917129
and/or possibly at this loveseat from macy's
Clearly, I have no idea of how to do this.
Any inspiration, ideas or input would be highly appreciated.
With thanks,
emciuk

Original Authorlast yearThank you! It used to be two rooms and we just got rid of the wall in between. I would love to make the most of it and I am grappling with my limited resources and (also limited) sense of space.

last yearThose huge U shaped sectionals belong in a theater room or a basement hangout. An L shaped sectional with low arms would work nicely in your space.

last yearMine is a semi-custom. I was able to choose from lots of fabrics, leg style, stitching style, arms, how many pieces were included, loose back or not etc. Yes, I had to wait for 8 weeks (years ago) but I got exactly what I wanted for this space and still saved $1,000 over having it truly custom made by a local sofa maker. Our sectional was made in North Carolina (it's SO heavy...so if you are shopping locally...try picking it up...it tells a lot) where many American furniture makers are. Hope this helps!

last yearlast modified: last yearYour friend's sectional is too big for the room. And you would be covering up so much of your lovely new floor.
I looked at a few sites which carry Poly and Bark and your chair does not get good reviews.
I do think you still can have a sectional as the front corner and single window make a good spot for the RIGHT facing chaise.
Put the tripod floor lamps in the front corner and a accent chair. Add a rug and window treatments.LiLu Interiors
