I think Blue #4 would look amazing in your living room. Clean, tailored, and the chaise on the end looks like a perfect spot for Jeff and Maggie to relax while watching TV!
Kristy, I love Lee industries as they are so comfortable! I have a small rectangular living also and I got 2 rolled arm apartment size sofas. Check out the sectionals 1583 series.
First thought is that any sectional with an arm facing the kitchen will read like the chairs you sold: creating a wall between the two spaces that you may not like. I like the ones that are armless on that side for that reason, and the ones that have ottomans on that end, for a seat, a tray, and an easy transition between the two (i.e. No. 1 in Tufted, No. 4 in Family Friendly, No. 1 in Midcentury Modern and even the Bloglovin one, reversed for your space). Good luck!
Thanks Nicole… I’m actually placing the sectional under the window and mirror with an armless on the tv side. I’m leaning toward a coffee table and two small x benches or something similar in front of the fireplace. I may also possibly use a smaller chair where the others were. :) Hugs xx
Hi Kristy,
I think the blue/gray sectional under Ideas & Homes (at the top of page) would not only harmonize well with your white/grey/blue scheme but also looks so comfy for your sweet dog and your family.
Have you given any thought to having the two chairs the cut off the room from the kitchen be swivel chairs? That would allow for lots of flexibility for use. Many swivels are available with a ‘return’ that brings them back to the original position when no one is seated so you aren’t left with an untidy look. Just a few thoughts I had….good luck on your fresh start!

I have thought a lot about the chairs… the space is so awkward that I just am not sure.. I am thinking the sectional is the best way to utilize the space, as well as maybe having one chair. I’ll keep you updated. Thank you for kicking in some great ideas.. I love the swivel feature on them..
Lately, I have had a sofa crush on this newly designed Chesterfield. I also love the idea of a chaise at one end but only if it works in the space. I am downsizing from 3000sq ft to just 1400sq ft and a bit terrified how will I fit in all that matters to be comfortable yet clean ans stylish! I think I have narrowed it down to this Chesterfield because I am enamored with tufted sofa’s but with a clean edge. They offer different legs as well which gives a different style to each sofa. While this tends to be on the more modern side, I can’t afford the space of the large, rolled arms of a typical Chesterfield so this one works well and the fabric choices are pretty amazing. You can also supply the company with your own fabric especially if you have a huge crush on those from RH.
Here is my current crush:
The one in the photo by Bloglovin is amazing. I am dying to know where that is from. The whole room is just gorgeous. I also like the light grey #4 midcentury from Overstock and at that price $998.00 you can’t really go wrong!
In our family people are 5’7″ to 6’6″ with enormous difference in leg length. We have chosen a sectional w fairly high back cushions to give support to tall people (hubby and son) and w proper armrests. But the main point for us was to have seat and back cushions that can be turned around,upside down and are interchangeable. All the various cushions are equipped w cleverly hidden zippers so that you can actually remove the covers and machine wash them on a gentle cycle. Pain in the b… to get them back on, but it works. Dark blue sofas are NEVER reentering our house! Every speck of dust/hair/crumb is just super visible. I’d go for a grey or blue-grey one, or even a muted green. Good luck!

Thanks Trisha! Love your help.. :)

Thank you for the suggestion Avery! I love grey sectionals.. I think that is the color I’m going to end up with… Xo, Kristy
