2 matching sofas or sofa+loveseat combination for family room

10 years ago

Hello, I'd really appreciate to receive some feedback regarding furniture for my family room, whether 2 matching sofas are good idea or should I stick with a traditional sofa+loveseat combination. The room is 14x20 feet with a high ceiling and has a fire place. I currently have the sofa closer to one wall and loveseat placed in a L-shape. The loveseat faces the fireplace. I am planning to replace my current furniture with new leather furniture (see attached). There is only $100 difference between the sofa and loveseat of this furniture. A sales person said that sofa+loveseat (3+2 seats) combination is old design idea and these days, it is more common to order 2 matching sofas (3+3 seats) especially for family rooms since you get more seating area for almost the same price. I do plan to add a accent chair in the future to add more color to the room.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Amy

When I moved into my home 6 years ago I purchased a sofa and 2 chairs. Previously I had a sofa and love seat. The room is large enough to hold 2 sofas nicely, and if I were to do it again, would go with the sofas. Don't listen to the sales person. ;)

When buying upholstered furniture a sofa is always your best value. In fact from a wholesale perspective there can be as little as a $50-$100 difference between them and I will tell you why. At the trade shows, primarily the twice a year High Point market, April and october or the Vegas market manufacturers like to quote low sofa prices as they show you their wares. I have been to many markets, over 60 High Point Markets, where you will be lead around the showroom with the rep quoting sofa wholesale or in some cases retail prices, $699, $799, $899, $999. It's so boring. What they never quote are the love seat and chair prices where the manufacturere is making their mark up. My advice buy two sofas. I think it looks better and you are getting more value.

Go with what you like best. If you want something new try it! If you like having the love seat then go for it! I think you picked a really nice color!
