Of course Roses Flooring and Furniture has amazing living
room sofas and loveseats, and most households swear by the tried and true room
setup with your seating gathered around the trusty coffee table or facing the
TV stand or entertainment console. But maybe you follow a different fashion muse.
Do conventional living rooms BORE you? Here’s a subversive design thought: DON’T
get a sofa exactly BECAUSE everybody else has one! That’s right. In this blog
post we are encouraging you NOT to buy a piece of furniture that most people
think is indispensable. This inside designer info also comes in handy for those
of you whose “cozy” living space as described by the ad or realtor turns out to
be “cramped.” You too can have an awesome living room with ample comfortable
seating MINUS a sofa.
Mix It Up with Benches and Chairs
If easily movable furniture is your ideal, consider the
recent trend of multiple chairs to make your living room lively. Armless chairs
are a designer’s choice for this look, with a lack of barriers enhancing
conversation. Add upholstered benches to the mix and you’ve got a comfy
sofa-free party. You can gather around a table or sit theater-style for movie
night or the big game.
All Hail the Mighty Ottoman
It’s time the dependable living room ottoman came into its
own. It can be so much more than a footrest. A few oversize ones double as both
seating and tables according to the situation, plus the ones that open give you
more storage. And if you go this route you can be even more rad by ditching
both the sofa and the coffee table. More floor space, more fun!
Sprawl on Thick Floor Cushions
If your idea for novel living room furniture is along the lines
of the ’70s beanbag fad, we’ve got a more accommodating suggestion. Try thick
floor cushions for poufs for the same disarming informality but a smoother “ride”
for your guests.
For still more living room furniture ideas nothing to do
with sofas, check out our Whiteville, NC store or any of our Roses locations!
