I would describe my style at "cottage chic." I like to be comfortable but not frumpy. If you are worried about spending too much on furniture I would look into some thrift stores! I have been finding some great pieces there lately.

Does your room lend itself to a corner sofa? not all rooms can accommodate one. Either size of the sofa or the layout of the room, makes it "undoable" And is this going to be your home for the foreseeable future? you wouldn't have to move it anytime soon? Can you rent one for a little while to see if you would like it? Some furniture stores will "stage a room" for people who are selling their house, you might find one who will rent you the piece for a little while if you are truly interested in buying it. Don't forget that furniture looks much SMALLER at the store when you are looking at it.And when you get it home it hardly fits.


My rooms not 100% ideal for it (as in it could be bigger) but I can make it work. I see it as all my time spent in the living room will be spent on the sofa, so it's more important that it's really comfortable than it looks absolutely perfect.

And if I keep the rest of the room very minimal, then hopefully it shouldn't look too overcrowded.

In terms of making sure it fits in, I will just take lots of measurements to the stores with me!

I like traditional style with a nod to cottage and plantation style.

The best interior design and circular stained glass skylight is necessary for house. It gives new and pretty looks of our house. I really like your theme style and design. Your bedroom color combination is prefect. I love every thing.

I totally agree. I wanted to buy a huge couch last month just because I wanted a piece of furniture that would take a big part of my living room. Seemed like it wasn't big enough in the store but when I got home with it didn't fit. Damn those big stores!
