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 publish), finishes, fixtures, fireplaces, furnishings, and a lot extra. Each time I’ve dreamed about our future household room, I’ve all the time imagined a luxurious, cozy sectional in there. And but, each time I do a flooring plan of the room, I embody this furnishings association.
So in my thoughts, I see an enormous sectional. In drawings, I all the time present two sofas and two chairs.
In the long run, I’m undecided which concept will win out. I actually need that room to be as cozy and comfy as doable for Matt and me, because it’s our home, and we’ll be those utilizing that room essentially the most. However I additionally need to understand that we have now folks in our dwelling as soon as per week, and generally twice per 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 hearth within the fire, a film taking part in on the TV, and a cup of sizzling chocolate in hand. That sounds superb. 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 laborious to think about that understanding effectively. I like a sectional that has a chaise lounge on the top, 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 gaggle setting. I believe it is likely to be awkward. 😀
So sadly, I believe I undoubtedly need to rule out that type of sectional. Then there’s the sort that wraps round with extra seating like this one…
However I actually can’t think about greater than 4 folks sitting comfortably on that sectional. Proper? I might 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 opportunity of their knees touching. So most individuals would have a tendency to take a seat in 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 as if it might seat a most of 5 folks comfortably.
So I believe that’s why I all the time revert again to 2 sofas and two chairs once I do drawings of the furnishings association. I does give me that symmetry that my mind all the time appears to want and want. However this association additionally looks as if 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 are able to 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 should feel and appear like when it’s completed. Inform me your ideas on sectionals. Do you’ve got one? Do you prefer it? Does it really restrict seating with massive teams like I think about it might?
