Lurker with Living Room Set issue ... PIP's
Hey Ladies,
I am really having a hard time deciding on which living room set I would like and how to set up the living room. The like the set up of the first two photos and my living room is made similar to the first picture. What I like about the second picture that caught my eye was the two different colors in the living room with the sofa being one color and the chairs being another color. The 3rd photo is the first set of furniture I liked but have since changed my mind (having trouble with this PIP). The 4th photo is the most recent sofa that I like. Online, I didnt see a photo of the entire grouping. If I go with the furniture in the 4th picture, I can pick my own colors for the sofa and chairs. I was thinking of all camel, all chocolate brown or the sofa one color and the chairs another color. My living room gets a lot of light with 3 windows on one wall and the current wall color is a light tan color, so real neutral. I hope the pip's aren't too big. I copied and pasted. Thanks in advance for any input. I am so indecisive.
The 3rd picture isn't posting, but its made by Franklin Furniture, 814 Annika

If I had to do it over again, I would choose a camel colored sofa and chair in a tan/ivory (or something equally neutral) with a subtle print - like a herringbone or houndstooth (small scale).
My reason? I think these colors and prints pretty much go with everything and that way if you ever get bored it's easy to bring in things through accessories.
I agree, picture #1 is beautiful. While we don't have pets or kids (yet), I wouldn't get light colored furniture. Color options so far is a light tan, camel or chocolate brown. The 2 furniture sets I am deciding between are pics 3 and 4. I like picture number 1 for the set up. I am wonder would I regret not getting a loveseat but I don't think so.
This is a good suggestion, and could work as well with other neutrals and textures rather than patterns.
I would get furniture that looks good together, but not from the same set. Complementary styles can bring more interest to the room without a lot of effort, where matching sets can be kind of one-note.
It's for this reason that I'm probably going with a leather sofa and a chair and ottoman in a subtle print. Then, I can add pops of color with throws and pillows.
