the great sofa search: 2017

Here are the facts:

• We’re moving into a brand new house in the next two months
• We’re taking almost no furniture with us
• We have three small children
• We are getting a dog before the year is up

Essentially? We need some seriously durable furniture. *But*…it also needs to look good, right??

Here are the sofas we’re currently crushing on:

1. Article Worthington Oxford Brown
2. Article Sven Left Sectional Cascadia Blue
3. Article Sven Left Sectional Charme Tan
4. Ikea Vimle with Chaise in Gunnared Beige
5. Joybird Eliot Sectional in Bella Navy

 

I need to do more research (because I can’t help myself), and take some time to check fabric swatches against the floor of the home.

What do you think? Is velvet too bold for a house with kids and a dog? Is the leather too much of a financial investment given that the couch will probably take a serious beating in the next few years? Give me your thoughts!
