I think the couch isn’t as bad as you think! I’m an interior decorator and here’s what I suggest - get a rug and a coffee table and two side chairs! That’ll make the living room feel more full. You don’t need every inch to be covered, white space is actually necessary for a design :) you could even play with nesting side tables and some oversized artwork! It just feels odd and small because it’s by itself

I remember legit taping where I wanted my couch in my first apartment doing measurements being so OCD about bed size, dining table size and my couch and media tv stand. Is hard when you try to decorate a whole place by your self. Don’t be to hard on yourself Keegan mistakes happen

Hey Keegan, I totally can relate to your frustration during the decorating process/ furnishing your home. My advice is to put the items your decorating into the place you imagined them to be then leave it for a couple days to see if you really like it or don’t like it . Sometimes after several days has pass and you walk pass the area enough times you’ll realize what you need to add or take away to make it the perfect space for you. Just take a break when you get frusturated because everything will come together and look beautiful at the end . The adventure is always in the journey my sweet friend ❤️

@KeeganActon Жыл бұрын

That is really good advice and I definitely agree that that is true because the more I look at the couch the less I hate it😂😂

@indigocabe965 Жыл бұрын

Get a matching chair or some accent chairs in a similar style!!! Also adding a rug and art can help tie it into the rest of the room. It might make you hate it less if you have to live with it!

@aolande1 Жыл бұрын

Honestly I think the couch looks fine. Once you have wall art and more things in the space it will be really cute. Keep the desk for sure bc it makes the space more full. The bar stools will help too. Maybe add a nice plush chair to the living room and a rug so that way the couch doesn’t seem too small. Wall art and a rug for sure!

@rockit122 Жыл бұрын

How does it look on the other side of the room? Like on the other side of the bedroom wall?

@natkiyoko Жыл бұрын

To add to what everyone else is saying about the couch-you can make changes and add or take away so much stuff. Then when you do move this smaller couch will be easier to move plus if your next place has a smaller living area it will be perfect. In my years of apartment living I have definitely had too big of a couch for the space. So sometimes it’s better to have a small one and maybe a accent chair or two

Waited just long enough to not be able to return it to finalize that I hate the color. I even ordered their swatches prior and thought it was okay. Now I am faced with a similar situation as you. I can try to sell it for way less than I bought it for an then have to rebuy a new expensive one I want. Or live with the one I hate. Everyone telling me it looks fine just makes me hate the couch and the fact I didn’t buy the other one even more.

Try decorating around it. The olive tree looks great there. Just try to spread its branches to make it look fuller. The two big frames above the sofa, like you mentioned would definitely amplify the look and will add to the process. A nice side table next to the sofa to the left with a big lamp(not a tiny lamp! Go big!) And don't forget the rug on the floor. I know you said not to about the sofa, but it honestly does look fine! Take a deep breath! You got this! Your sofa is the focal point in that area of your livingroom but because it's not decorated around it, it gives the impression that it's tiny. Be patient and watch how it'll all come together and you won't think it's small at all after you're done decorating your livingroom. Trust the process!

The great thing about furniture is you can always buy more as you move into larger spaces. Some of our older pieces can always take on new roles. For the benefit of anyone who may be sofa shopping, consider potential use cases. If you have a lot of 6’5” guy friends, it may not be a bad idea to have some extra space for those friends to crash around the house. Just sayin’.
