So……the new Restoration Hardware sofa & two dining chairs came in……and I really didn’t like them! They just didn’t look like they were worth what I paid for them… plus the sofa had a mark on the cushion, so I returned them! Which means I’m back to shopping for a pair of living room sofas and I just can’t make up my mind!!!! I think I’ve narrowed it down to Lee Industries as far as the manufacturer but I really can’t decide on style/shape. So I thought id let you all help me…
Remember the room…currently with the Ikea sofas….
I love the look of this room posted by Joni on Cote de Texas recently, but as much as I love these sofas, i think they might look too similar to my tufted chesterfield sofa in my family room (but I’m loving the color & fabric)
I also love the look of these sofas…
So anyhow, here are some options I’m considering….
I think a pair of these would be lovely, and I’m a huge fan of a tight back and one bench seat. I hate when loose back cushions look sloppy. But again, I’m wondering if this would feel too much like my family room sofa?? Or does that matter?
This one looks similar the the sofas in the second image
Of course there’s always a classic roll arm slipcovered with the pretty pleated skirt..but two seat cushions
And this one is attractive, slipcovered, tight back, bench seat
It also comes upholstered with a tufted back
I need your opinions!! You know how it is when it comes to your own home. I can design someone else’s home in a split second but can’t make a decision when it comes to my own house! Also…should I go with linen or velvet?? Upholstered or slipcovered?? The possibilities are endless and I’m feeling overwhelmed!
Im going to DC today to look at some fabric options but still haven’t decided on a frame….so HELP! Lol
Thanks and wish me luck!

I like the last picture option best…..upholstered w/ a tight back.
Thanks Jerri! That’s one of my favorites
Which RH did you hate? I thought you were going to get the Track Arm which I LOVE. I actually went to the RH outlet to see one and they had in a English Roll Arm in sand linen 8 feet that came home with me. It’s a very firm, comfortable and beautiful sofa… I have heard nightmare stories of RH not taking custom orders back …how did you manage that?
It was the track arm. I just didn’t love the back cushions & it had a mark on the seat so they gave me no problem whatsoever with returning it. The roll arm ones are very nice, I just worry about the seat cushions looking sloppy ( like they do in the store) The outlet is the best place to get one for sure with the prices. I just felt like $3000 was a lot to spend & not love it Sent from my iPhone
Yep, a lot of money if you don’t love it. The ERA I got has 3 cushions not one like the TA. Been sitting on it and I gotta say, it doesn’t look sloppy when we get up. It has no skirt and I’m enjoying it. I am also enjoying the price I paid… doesn’t feel like it needs to be a forever sofa. I still do love the TA but was concerned the one cushion seat might wear unevenly. I think Lauren Leiss from Pure Style Home just bought it in white linen for her own home. Good luck !
I like the last one here.I just ordered a Lee sofa.Similar to that.It is going to be upholstered in an off white fabric that has a soft feel kind of like velvet but it is a linen blend.I love it.I can get the name of it for you.
Thanks Debbie, sure I will take a look at it
Sounds like its going to be pretty!
Heidi, the name of the Lee fabric I chose is Riva Bone.Check it out!
