What?! American Furniture Galleries is NOT trying to sell a
certain piece of living room furniture? Yes and no. While the living room sofa
will be an American mainstay till the end of time, we know very well that not
every piece of furniture is for every home, even something as popular as the
sofa. So from top New York designers by way of yours truly, here are some ways
to get comfortable and shake up expectations by offering a novel living room
arrangement with NO sofa.
All Chairs
This option is more inviting that it may seem at first.
Living room chairs are every bit as comfortable as sofas and they take up less
room. If armchairs seem to form a barrier, go with armless chairs such as the
parts of a sectional; just get the pieces you want and you’ve got your anti-sofa.
Massive Ottomans
The humble living room ottoman has graduated in decor from a
footrest to a piece of furniture in its own right. Considering 86ing both the
living room sofa AND the coffee table in favor of two or three ginormous
ottomans that wonderfully double as both chairs or tables as the need arises.
Floor Cushions, If
They’re Thick Enough
Think something along the lines of the ’70s beanbag chair
fad but lots more comfortable! Mattress-like floor cushions or poufs are a
great seating alternative for smaller rooms, a pad on which to sit, eat, and
even work! This option is great if you’re looking for something REALLY
different.
Whatever your choice of living room furniture, from
traditional to edgy, our Sacramento, CA store is here for you!
