What a totally abnormal experiment – to be able to try out a few different configurations in your living room in the name of “photographing your sofa line”. Not exactly typical, but my goodness, I wish this on everyone. I suppose that could be the future of AI (so far, it’s doing a terrible job when prompted – No offense, future leader robots!!). Last week, you saw our living room with our double “Barb” set up (which I LOVE), and on that same day, we brought in the sectional sofa (shout out to my team led by Gretch for a lot of literal heavy lifting). It’s hard not to like – it just works visually (but less so functionally). I’ll prove it:

The colors work. The scale of the sectional sofa is great. And it’s so cozy. I love our sectional – it’s chunky and low and so comfortable, with the sink-in-able bench seat and the cushion-y back. It’s a 7 on the firm scale at first, then will wear into a 5 (which is where you want it to be – you don’t want it to look sloppy and mushy).

If there were a TV above the fireplace, it might make sense for the configuration to be mainly facing the fireplace, with few other places to sit. But this just isn’t enough seating for this room, which is mostly for hanging out, screen-free, with friends or our kids.

But for fun, let’s look at a slider of both green sofas first:

Now, onto the two recent setups:

I love how open it looks, how it fills the space, but with enough negative space to allow your eye to rest. But once you’ve had two sofas where everyone gets to spread out while talking, it’s hard to go back (and y’all, this room is big and can handle two sofas, so the single chaise sectional facing a non-TV fireplace doesn’t make sense to be our living room).

Again, the greens:

And the other two:

The chaise on the Milo is big, though, in such a good way. A total double cuddle corner. And if the cream linen blend scares you (it’s a performance fabric and has a lot of thread variety), know that it comes in a velvet Charcoal and Chocolate as well. I love the chunky arms and how solid it feels.

A little more green, anyone?

And finally, the view fully facing the sunroom:)

I also want to mention that with the cost of furniture these days, this sectional is so well priced at $2,999 and is cheaper during Black Friday sales. I have zero control over what it’s listed at, but boy am I begging for it to be at least 15% off (and Wayfair mostly free shipping, so hopefully that is an extra incentive). It’s all made in Texas and ships out quickly, so you can get it by Christmas (hopefully!).

So which one is your favorite?? As the person who lives here with husband, kids, and pups, I have a clear preference, but I honestly love all three. You all have more distance from it (I’m literally too close to it), so curious what you think. Are you Double Alice? Double Barb (blue and pink)? or Big Milo???
