Need.a.couch
So. We sold our couch in September the week we found out we were moving (it was a 9 year old ikea couch) and though I was oddly sentimental about it, we didn't think the couch would make it through another move. Because anything with an ikea label sells like hot cakes in Indianapolis (the closest Ikea is 2.5 hrs away), it made the most sense to sell it before our move to Boston. Now that our move to Boston is fast approaching(5 weeks!), it just occurred to me that I need to figure out the couch situation for the new place. Your input is appreciated!
I like the idea of a leather couch for practical reasons (hello kids).
Then there's the question of tan or black. I always lean towards black over brown, but in this case I'm torn. The tan leather is more classic and versatile.
Then there's this couch. I was immediately drawn to it's lines. My main issue here is that all of my living room chairs are pretty much the same color…..
This blue couch. But will I get tired of it?
Then there's the sectional
What's your vote?

I don't think you can go wrong here; they are all gorgeous! There is something so cozy about brown, soft, worn-looking leather that gets me though. I just love it. If your living room chairs are that soft gray color I think it could be a nice compliment. I have a gray love-seat paired with brown leather chairs and it is just a home-y vibe I think. If you want more of a sleek look the black would obviously pair well with your chairs as well. Happy couch hunting!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the brown leather! Still torn about the grey though- our chairs may end up being in another room. Decisions, decisions!
DeleteI think leather couches are really homey and I like them. The only thing I don't love about them is that they're cold. So if you go that route, make sure you have some nice and cozy throws around...especially in Boston! As a random aside, I bought furniture in southern NH before I moved to Virginia (hello, no sales tax!) at a place called Jordan's. It's one of those giant, somewhat impersonal stores but I got some amazing deals. It may be worth checking out if you have a car to get out of the city.
ReplyDeleteGood idea! I hadn't even thought about no sales tax in NH!
DeleteI love the grey one. Maybe use super bold and fun color accents would work. Colorful throws and pillows can be easy ways to keep it interesting. But that's me :)
ReplyDeleteThats my favorite too:)

ReplyDeleteThe sectional sofa is really lovely and looks like it would be hard wearing and comfy. The neutral colour means that you could add some coloured or patterned throw cushions or a throw on the back maybe without worrying about the colours clashing.
ReplyDeleteA leather sofa would also be a good choice as you have children. We have a leather sofa and have found it really practical and easy to clean up the inevitable spills and sticky fingerprints. Just a damp cloth is often enough but there are also specialist leather cleaners available. We have a fleece throw on the back of ours that also doubles as a cosy blanket for naps.
